WTF: Metallica

The inevitable has happened: Metallica's Death Magnetic has leaked.

But what's interesting is drummer Lars Ulrich doesn't seem to care. Why? The album is only 10 days from release.

"If this thing leaks all over the world today or tomorrow, happy days. Happy days. Trust me," he told radio station Live 105. "Ten days out and it hasn't quote-unquote fallen off the truck yet? Everybody's happy. It's 2008 and it's part of how it is these days, so it's fine. We're happy."

Is this seriously the same band from seven years ago?

Have you somehow heard (we won't say "downloaded"...) the new Metallica album? If so, what do you think of it?
