Courtesy of Warner Bros. Metallica, Death Magnetic Official Release Date: September 12 The Verdict: The spin on Metallica's ninth studio album, Death Magnetic , which leaked last night, is that it's a return to form (as a recording exercise, producer Rick Rubin had the band imagine they were rewriting 1986's Master of Puppets ). We're not sure we'd go that far, but it's definitely better than St....

So the word is that the leak of Metallica's Death Magnetic last night wasn't spurred by piracy rings or someone breaking into Rick Rubin's house—nope, apparently the album's all over the Internet now because a shop in France broke the street date and sold "a number of copies" yesterday morning. There is something about this story that smells totally, utterly fishy to me, especially since Lars Ulrich...

release date = TBC = TO BE CONFIRMED So, THE EDGE, this album is being completed as we speak? "Yeah. It's happening live in real time. It's totally frantic." Having effectively abandoned their initial plan to work with Rick Rubin (although some material has survived), U2 took the unusual move of bringing in their long-time producers Brian Eno and Daniel Lanois as co-writers early on. "We thought, if...

ZZ Top follow MoB favorites The Avett Brothers and Crosby, Stills & Nash as the next in line to team up with legendary producer/knob tweaker Rick Rubin. What makes this story interesting is Rubin’s floating of the idea for ZZ Top to team up with the The Black Keys, who can now add Billy [...]

With producer Rick Rubin, the band returns with a new album and a reassuring sense of danger. IMAGINE THE smell of barbecue and methamphetamine under the Texas summer sun. This year, the Ozzfest festival -- an all-day celebration of brawny and sinister heavy metal music -- took its amplifiers to the Lone Star State, and tens of thousands of fans came from across the South and beyond to lose themselves...

Ooh, five minutes to catch up properly. Quick look at the site for Glen Campbell's new album - I've been a fan forever, but it's nice to see him do the old Rick Rubin-style thing to get a bit of attention. And Charles from IT has just popped in to give me a CD copy of this , because he knows I like nothing better than a bit of a blub, and it's brilliant. Anyhoo. The Man-About-Town took me to see Never...
