There are no solos worth mentioning on Death Magnetic, tbh. Christ, *even I* can play solos better than some of those efforts! It's almost like Lars said "don't bother putting that final take on, we'll go with the first one that was all boring and had lots of phrases starting and finishing on the tonic. Then we'll EQ the **** out of it, like I did with my wonderful drums."
Other than that, I really like the album, but the lead work (and drum EQ) is a real let down for me, personally.
