Album Notes
The first studio album with Rob Trujillo. This was also the first album without longtime producer Bob Rock, instead going with legendary producer Rick Rubin
James: "Death Magnetic, at least the title, to me, it's... It had something to do with...It started out as kind of a tribute to people that have fallen in our business, like Layne Staley and a lot of the people that have died, basically rock and roll martyrs of sorts. And then it kind of grew from there. Thinking about death, some people are drawn towards it, and just like a magnet, some people are drawn towards it, other people are afraid of it and push away. And the concept that we're all gonna die sometimes is over-talked about and then a lot of times never talked about. Noone wants to bring it up, it's the big white elephant in the living room. But we all have to deal with it at some point. So that's kind of the subject matter."
