Some of them, especially my favorite, Just a Bullet Away, probably could've replaced tracks that made it onto Death Magnetic. Metallica might be aging, but they still have some fire left, as they showed when they played these songs live during their 30th Anniversary gigs in San Francisco. Similar to the other songs from the Death Magnetic sessions, the four tracks here show off plenty of metal riffs and solos, with equal portions of Black Album-style heavy rock. Here's a more detailed account of each track for anyone interested. Hate Train--The first half of this song features riffs very similar to Fuel and Black Album-era verses, with the second half sounding more like their thrash era. It has some slow parts with decent singing by James, but some of the first half might have sounded too close to Fuel to make Death Magnetic. The solos could be longer, but this song is definitely heavy on riffs and has a lot of different sections. Despite the Fuel riffs, I think it sounds less like the Re-Load era than several songs from DM. Just a Bullet Away--Awesome metal song, with great riffs, lyrics, and vocals...this one definitely should've been on Death Magnetic. It seems to be most people's favorite of the four, although Rebel of Babylon gets a lot of votes, too. I think it would fit nicely on the Black Album, as it's sort of an almost-thrash song that would sound at home with the heaviest few tracks from that release. Hell and Back--The strange song out of the four. It reminds me of Broken, Beat, & Scarred in some parts, and Cyanide in others. The weird verses in the first half don't remind me of anything from Metallica. They're almost alternative, I guess; not bad, really, just different. It gets fairly heavy in the middle, then continues with some nice riffs until the end. Even though it might be the weakest of the four tracks, it's still good enough for a solid 4 out of 5. Rebel of Babylon--This is another clearly heavy song like Just a Bullet Away, with some fast riffing in the verses. James offers a few vocal lines that get about as old-school as he can manage these days. There's still a lot more singing than in the old days, but you hear traces of that gruff, harsh James of the past. It leaves a nice taste finishing things off heavy. Listening to the songs on this EP, I could make the case that some are about equal to tracks on Death Magnetic, so I can see where Metallica might have had a tough time deciding which ones to leave off that album. Just a Bullet Away is the only one that I'd gladly sacrifice a song for (maybe Cyanide), but just adding them to Death Magnetic would've made it too long in my opinion. Which makes it cool that they put them together for an EP to hold us off until a new album comes together. Clocking in at about a half hour with four 7-8 minute songs, Beyond Magnetic is a fine EP to add to Metallica's discography. Easily worth the $5 price tag.

Comparisons are somewhat difficult since these are "rough mixes". However, I can't imagine these having been included on their triumphant return in 2009. These songs aren't bad, and I've been listening to them almost every day since I got the CD. I think they are OK, but I don't know that old school fans are going to be happy with these after the return to form on Death Magnetic. "Just A Bullet Away" seems very modern in terms of James' vocal delivery. His rhythmic style seems out of place compared to the straight ahead style Metallica fans are accustomed to. The guitar riff lead in also has more of a Pantera circa "Walk" vibe. Then with "Hell And Back" you get a song that sounds like it belongs on the Black Album. The same could be said for "Hate Train" whose opening calls to mind "Through The Never" from the Black Album. In the end I am conflicted about Beyond Magnetic. I like all of the things in the comparisons I made above. It's just not what I would have expected from candidate songs leftover from the Death Magnetic recordings. I settled on four stars because it means "I like it" - which at the end of the day I do. Hopefully this helps you get an idea of what this EP is like. Whether or not that is what you are looking for is entirely up to you. I'd love to hear what other people think.
