‘Death Magnetic’ marks the group’s split with producer Bob Rock, who helmed every Metallica album from 1991 to 2004 and pushed them toward concision and immediacy — until ‘St. Anger’, when he seemed to throw up his hands altogether. (As the 2004 documentary ‘Some Kind of Monster’ demonstrates, Rock deserved credit for getting any music at all out of a band determined to self-destruct.) New producer Rick Rubin shoves Metallica in the opposite direction: Half of ‘Death Magnetic’s’ tracks are over seven minutes long, with song structures that are not so much”verse/chorus/verse” as “long intro/heavy jam/verse/even heavier jam/chorus/bridge/wild solo/outro.”

There’s supposed to be a lyrical theme here — something about death — but it’s hard to discern. After expanding his lyrical palette on previous albums, Hetfield is now so determined to re-metallize that he pushes toward self-parody: “Venom of a life insane/Bites into your fragile vein,” he barks on “The Judas Kiss.” The “One”-style half-ballad, half-thrasher “The Day That Never Comes” appears to be yet another tale from Hetfield’s rough childhood, complete with the awful pun “son shine.”

But if you ignore the lyrics, ‘Death Magnetic’ sounds more like it’s about coming back to life. Everything comes together on the fan-favorite-to-be “Broken, Beat and Scarred,” which manages to channel the full force of Metallica behind a positive message: “What don’t kill ya make ya more

strong,” Hetfield sings, with enough power to make the cliché feel fresh. The aphorism he paraphrases happens to come from Nietzsche’s ‘Twilight of the Idol’s, which is subtitled ‘How to Philosophize With a Hammer’. Metallica’s philosophizing may get shaky — but long may that hammer strike.
