This is personally my favorite Metallica album. IDGAF what others say, I was 16 when this came out and it blew my mind...it's definitely their angriest album. First album after Cliff died, James's anger is showing through, Lars tries to show how good of a drummer he can be because his father criticized his playing on earlier albums, this is just Metallica at their best. Nothing after this compares to the aggression and complexity.
You know what? I'm a 56 year old metalhead from Germany, and I really, really like your approach to Rock Music. It's a lot of fun to watch your videos. Just try and stay being yourself, it's worth a lot.
I'm 50 and since 35 years Metallica blows my mind. It's funny to find you here. I'm also from Germany, Dude. Freu mich, nen Landsmann zu "treffen". Mit metallischen Grüßen
Man, don't apologize for what you're choosing to listen and react to! We're all here for whatever you're enjoying! (At least I am, I'm like an emotional vampire, I feed on others feelings)
This album is f'n great! They show they're more than just bangers, they're very technically skilled. That's what this album is, showing their talent. The changes are amazing.
I've been watching your reaction videos for the last week or so. I'm a 57 yo guy from Arkansas who has been a heavy metal fan since the 70's and I really appreciate the fact that a young man like you is checking out some, in my personal opinion, really awesome music. I applaud your choice of journeying into the metal genre and I am certain that you are now a fan of this music that I have loved since it was created. I remember when all of these albums first appeared back when I was in my early 20's. Thrash metal really started with Metallica, Slayer, Megadeth, and others. I'm glad you are able to experience this music and see how technical and intricate it is. Greetings from Royal AR. 👍🇺🇸
When you listen to the song "One" please do the album version BEFORE you watch the official video. There is a lot of dialogue from a movie in the video. It will make sense after you hear the song and then see the video.
A good reaction might be to do both back 2 back. The video definitely adds value. The video is a masterpiece in the way that it incorporates the movie. But in a way it also distracts somewhat from the song.
He already reacted to the One video. Molly should also react to the studio audio. The video is absolutely brilliant but the dialogs make it a bit tricky to fully appreciate the song itself.
Do you know what I like? Watching first time reactions and waiting for that little snipit of a song where you know they will react because it's sooooo good 😀
Mate, I am/was a Hip Hop fan back in the days when this first came out. My older brother was a metal head. I loved some of the Metallic, Anthrax, AC/DC, Slayer stuff that he would play . He also loved some of the Public Enemy, Run DMc and Ice T hip hop I listened to. It’s great to have an open mind with music or you can miss some awesome creations. Now my Heavy Metal brothers plays his N.W.A Albums to my 13yr old son when we visit him and I’m on RUclips searching Metallica songs ….. don’t ever stop trying different Genres. Great Vids, great channel.
You need to react to their concert on Seattle 89. 🙏Also react to ‘To Live is To Die’. An instrumental dedicated to Cliff and represents their different stages of grief. Fan fave. Emotional stuff!
💯 YESSSSSS!!! Seattle 89' Binge n purge is iconic Best Metal concert Ever! I was at 92' San Diego, also Excellent show. In 92' I seen them a few weeks later, right after Hetfield got burned half his body with the pyrotechnics! I thought they'd maybe not come back from that one. He couldn't play guitar for awhile, he'd burned his entire left side of his arms, hair n face! Dammmm...and it's on tape too! F#$@! Sh$t!
As soon as I saw this pop up, I was like, “Man, he’s gonna dig this one!” The dynamics of the soft and heavy sections of the intro…then when it sets in with that sick groove of a riff. No one can deny how tight and precise these guys are. I can’t seem to listen to anything but Acid Bath these days; however, this album still holds a special place for me. Glad to see you hear it. 🤘🏴☠️
As someone that was around from the beginning of Metallica I have to say this is my favorite album of theirs.. the weird production actually gave it a very unique sound. The guitar tones are perfect, and the riffs are heavy AF. Anyone saying this isn't a heavy album is insane! I know Lars gets stick but I love his drumming on this album. This mix really added some depth to the bass drums.. enjoyed that. I am going to have to check out a few alternative mixes of this album.
The whole album is deep, technical, hard, tight and intense. The songs are longer and progressive. Yes, the production is different (you'll read the story) but there are many treasures in this record. Hetfields riffs are incredible throughout. Hope you listen to 'One' at some point. Also, I think the lyrics are Hetfields best. Enjoy 🤘 (And this album is MUCH heavier than anything they had done up until this point. They did it very deliberately) There is also a version with proper bass recorded - ...And Justice for Jason - enjoy... 👇 ruclips.net/video/oWgEeTqjXMI/видео.htmlsi=Da4X8ZopgbZgjNuH
I feel alot of people are "purist". AJFA isn't kill em all. Some folks didn't like that. I dug Metallica up to the Black album. They lost me after that. A few ditties here and there. I hate to say it, no longer my genre. I dont know what they are considered now. They're so big now they could write poop on a cardboard box and people would love it. IMHO. Not hating, not even upset. They gave me wonderfull teenage years. Anything after the black album just isn't for me. Much love from Texas.💚
@@BigBadx4 Well said. I think every song of theirs before the black album defined thrash metal. I can count on one hand how many after AJFA are even close to this caliber, but I only heard what others played because I never bought another album of theirs after black. I didn't hear the story about James and Lars mixing Jason's bass way down until many years later but that's probably why this album hit me so differently from their previous ones.
the longest track on the album is the instrumental "To Live is To Die" you need to do this MollyBoy, it is one of the saddest tracks in all of Metallica, it was in homage to Cliff Burton who died in 1986 in the bus accident.
Hello good evening. My name is Eduardo and I am from Montevideo, Uruguay and I am a big, big fan of this music. I recently started watching your videos and I really like seeing your reactions when listening to this music. He seems very genuine and sincere and we really appreciate that. Now, if you want to listen to something that will make you think about speed with the guitars, I recommend that you listen to the song, Detox, by Strapping Young Lad. The vocalist is Devin Townsend and I think listening to his songs, especially this one, will blow your mind. I send you a big hug!!!
17:29 the song right after this one, the intro is pretty tight, but it used to be favorite song on this album, but I think maybe Shortest Straw or Blackened are the best songs besides One. Shortest Straw has a sick riff that just takes over the entire soul. You can’t help but wanna bang your head lol.
@@MrFEFman agreed man I’m stoked asf once he reacts to it especially Master of Puppets, And Justice For All, Harvester Of Sorrow, and Battery all live from Seattle 89🙏
Congrats on hitting 20k. I'm glad you're enjoying your dive into the world of Metal music. As a life long Metalhead my one advice I will give is, Try not to let the stupid genre labels get in your way and just enjoy the energy and sounds. 🤘🏽🤘🏽
@@rc5121 lucky I wasn’t born yet or else I would’ve tried to be there😂😂 did get to see rush twice tho before Neil passed so thankful for my gpa for taking me to see them
You've already done three songs from the next album: Wherever I May Roam, Nothing Else Matters, and Enter Sandman are from that album Like I've said before, Spit Out The Bone from their 2016 album is a must listen
Was just recommended this video even though I rarely watch reactions. It's just so darn wholesome to see the youngsters stumbling onto, and absolutely enjoying the music of my childhood. My good friend growing up bought this album in the fall of 1988 on cassette tape and immediately ran over to my house to so we could listen to it on my boombox. We were in the 4th grade and it changed our lives.
And Justice For All is my favorite album of theirs. React to “One” from this album next. If you’re going to do one from the album after this, do “Wherever I May Roam” - it’s a monster.
People do love The Black Album too. I do! It's just different. Closer to rock than thrash. But still heavy in it's own way. You already did Wherever I May Roam, and liked it. I'd suggest Of Wolf and Man next. Just treat the albums after the first four as if they were done by different bands, and you may be surprised how much you can like them. Peace, man. Congrats on 20K It's you and your personality that brought you here, not us. 🤘
The bass guitar or lack of is people complaint. But really I’ve heard it with bass and it detracts from the tight thick sound they were going for, and really the production is perfect for the songs. They’re complex and aggressive. Album is perfect. Black album after this was the album that made them super stars so early fans and elitists hate it but it’s really one of the greatest albums in metal history. Sad but true may be the heaviest song ever.
The first time I heard The Day that never comes I was driving home from work one night and I only heard the second half of the songI didn't know. I didn't hear the first half and I knew it was Metallica instantly and I knew they were back!!!
@@haxan6663 Actually Load is my favorite Metallica album. And I have a specific reason for that is: I can't listen 2 or 3 songs in a row that are in the same album. For example, And Justice For All song is nearly 10 minutes. If I play 1 more song from AJFA it will be 15 minutes of same kind of guitar tones, same kind of vocals and same kind of riffs. I don't like it, I don't want it. For the most part I just listen songs mixed from different albums. One from Master, one from Ride, one from justice, one from KEA, one from the Black. After 2 songs in a row that are in the same album is just unlistenable to me. Except for Load. I can listen the album Load in one shot. Probably its because the sound quality in Load is the best and for my taste. Before Load, vocals are just too low in the songs. One other thing is that before Load, the most important thing is the guitars not vocals. Guitars and riff are there and also there are some vocals too. But there is even instrumentals. So vocals are actually not the point. In Load guitars come to boost the vocals. James' actually singing well and beautiful. I like it better. I like ReLoad too but not as Load. In ReLoad things that I love in Load is there again but songs, I don't find them that much interesting and beautiful. I like the the thing that St. Anger is doing but I just hated the way it sounds. I like only 3 songs from St. Anger.
Listen to what you want to young man. I'm 54 now, but when I was your age (maybe a bit younger), I was bullied because I walked my own path when it came to music. I had long hair and wore my denim and leather because it was who I was. Rock on dude 🤘😝👊
AJFA is a amazing album, so much anger in that album from the passing of Cliff. The lack of bass from Jason is the only thing missing. You must do Harvester of Sorrow next....sooooo fucking heavy!!!!
I love this record, don’t listen to the haters. It’s in my top 3 of their records. Black Album, Master of Puppets and this record. I listen to this record when I work out.
You think? My opinion is those you mentioned are "worse" than the title track. They're all good though but title track, blackened and frayed ends of sanity are my favourites!
This album doesn't have any bad tracks. But it does have one BIG problem. The problem is the bass or the non existent bass. Blame Lars & James for this problem
Bro..seeing u react this way to this album melts my heart...no homo. I remember the day it was released my brother forced our parents to take us to Sam Goody to get it. It sounds just as good as the day I first head it 36 years ago. I'm a 50 year old metal junky from NJ USA and I love seeing a Brit who's my son's age who not only appreciates it...but appears to really understand it....!..big big ups bro..!!
AJFA is their best album imho A lot of people give Lars a whole lot of crap about his drumming , but his work on this entire album is his best performance of all their collection. Killer guitar riffs , and James still had that angry aggressive sound in his voice . Lots of timing change ups , just a complete masterpiece . I still remember getting home from the local music store after buying this album and being completely blown away listening to it , called up all my metal head friends and told them to get over to my house to hear this masterpiece . Ahhh to be 17 again full of anger and aggression . What a time to be alive . I still listen to this epic album almost , if not daily
I wore this album out and not one time did i notice the lack of bass. It was only years later when folks started whining about it. Lol. The drums on this album are amazing! I dont know what needed to be " fixed".
People are over critical. Music is art. Enjoy each piece for what it is. Peace and love from a 58yo rocker who comes from a time before Metallica. It took a bit but I developed a taste for Megadeath. I was immediately hooked when Megadeath hit the scene.
hell yeah brother, this album takes #1 for me for metallica albums. i love it. it sounds so amazing, even tho they muted the bass it adds to the feel of the album and it’s overall just like a masterpiece imo.
Let me settle the debate. I'm 47 and grew up on all this metal shit. This is probably the best heavy metal album of all time with only Master of Puppets as a contender. One is, in my mind, the greatest metal song ever and it's on this album.
Bruv, you’ve gotta stop listening to haters who know NOTHING about Metallica. Whoever says Metallica stopped being heavy after this album are either tone deaf or just haven’t heard their recent material. Metallica’s last three albums have been heavy, fast and just like the old stuff. Wait til you hear songs like spit out the bone, that was just your life, All nightmare long or 72 seasons. Can’t wait for you to check out the newer stuff and I highly recommend you check one of those out on your channel. This is coming from one of Metallica’s biggest fans
Best album they made, and by a long way, in my mind. It's so clever, so intricate, so heavy, so musically refined. It's a masterpiece in songwriting. Wonderful.
The Grunge Bands changed the "rock" music scene in the early 90's. I rejected a lot of the "Grunge Bands" ,except for Alice in Chains. You gotta check them out
I would listen to this on my Sony Walkman before going to sleep many nights in 1989/90. Still listening to it today. I hope these songs last forever. I sometimes fantasize about what it would be like to find this album or metal in general, really but especially an album like AJFA 100, 400, 1000, 4000 years from now. I would put on a hazmat suit and brave fallout if I knew where to find this album.
I love watching reaction videos to metallica, and welcome to the family. Metallica are the greatest band ever for many reasons. I've not seen all your videos yet but I will get through them. Here is a is of underrated and top songs for you - Devils dance, outlaw torn, Bleeding me, Room of mirrors, inamorata, spit out the bone, atlas rise !, manunkind.......I could go on and on because of the sheer class of the band. Enjoy their music, I sure do.
Change is good in music. The evolution of Metallica through the years is a crazy journey! You have to listen to everything and judge for yourself. There is a reason they have been around for 40+ years! 🤘🤘🤘🤘 Keep going, bro!
The first time I heard this song, it came on my pandora shuffle, and I didn’t realize there were no lyrics for the first few minutes UNTIL the lyrics started and I was like “….wait how long have I been listening to this damn song?” 😂 I’ve been listening to Metallica literally my entire life, and I’ve yet to come across a song I don’t like. Keep on the journey and enjoy the ride!
bro what you talking? the next album (known as the black album) is a great album, we would love to see you react to the unfrgiven/sad but true/the god that failed etc..................get it done bro its a fantastic album
Had this album on auto-reverse for about 5 years in the early 90's. Quality mattered not on a walkman (with bass boost) ! Got me through some mad times.
Imagine listening to this in 1988 when it is first released and there is literally no other band or music like this song.... it really was a first.... Mind blowing.... because it was a new sound it never occurred to me that the bass was turned right down.... Amazing
Hey. I’m 55 and I’ve been a metal head all my life. Just started watching your channel and I love when younger people get into and appreciate metal. Love your reactions lol.
55 here too. Good to see this generation finding Metallica and learning what we already know. My son bought me tickets to see them last year for my birthday. He is into metal as much as me.
Can't wait for you to do Harvester of Sorrow!! Frayed Ends of Sanity!! This album was my introduction to Heavy Metal way back in 88 or 89. My love for Metallica has never faded. What a band!!
![I.N "HALLUCINATION" | [Stray Kids : SKZ-PLAYER]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/n5B5q1Hwt_U/mqdefault.jpg)
People were talking smack about this album?!? This is my favorite album from my favorite band. Every song on this album rocks!!!
Only bass players complain and who cares about them?
I think the production and the sometimes bloated / overdone songwriting rubs some people the wrong way, but it’s still one of their best, regardless.
Funny. I’m a bass player, but that album is still amazing.
Numero Uno on my Mt. Rushmore Metallica albums. Always has been.
......to elaborate for the masses who hear not....THIS was the most doomed out/grooved out Metallica album.
This is personally my favorite Metallica album. IDGAF what others say, I was 16 when this came out and it blew my mind...it's definitely their angriest album.

the frayed ends of sanity is anoher amazing song from this album
Dont let the people whining about the bass guitar lead you astray, this album is a masterpiece. Period.
This album is f'n great! They show they're more than just bangers, they're very technically skilled. That's what this album is, showing their talent. The changes are amazing.

They were great live
Saw them with faith no more. Incredible

Me too...the Damaged Tour was awsome! Both the shows I saw had The Cult opening and they were really good.

My favorite Song. As relevant today as 1989. The lyrics are just as potent as the instruments.
1988
the longest track on the album is the instrumental "To Live is To Die" you need to do this MollyBoy, it is one of the saddest tracks in all of Metallica, it was in homage to Cliff Burton who died in 1986 in the bus accident.
I actually fucking cried hearing that song the first time. That middle part is heartbreaking. And James’ solos always emotional man.
Justice is my favorite Metallica record without question.

This music really opened my eyes as a teenager.
Have a look at Rammstein. And the live versions.
You've already done three songs from the next album: Wherever I May Roam, Nothing Else Matters, and Enter Sandman are from that album
Like I've said before, Spit Out The Bone from their 2016 album is a must listen
I don't know why people are so critical of this album either, it's my favorite album over all. 5:05
the concert they did with the san francisco orchestra is mind blowing
Easily one of my favourite albums

Check his other videos. He's done One and Wherever I May Roam.
People do love The Black Album too. I do! It's just different. Closer to rock than thrash. But still heavy in it's own way.

Been a massive fan for 34 years....this is by far my favourite album that they ever did 🤙
Ppl can talk all the trash they want about "Lars,"his drumming is freaking nasty on this album and all the ones before!
Favourite album since I was 11 - never gets old
Yeah...finally! Its probably studio version, hopefully remastered. Im hoping its live in Seattle 89' ..A girl can dream! 😂
Can’t go wrong with anything

The bass guitar or lack of is people complaint. But really I’ve heard it with bass and it detracts from the tight thick sound they were going for, and really the production is perfect for the songs. They’re complex and aggressive.
Album is perfect.
Black album after this was the album that made them super stars so early fans and elitists hate it but it’s really one of the greatest albums in metal history. Sad but true may be the heaviest song ever.
It doesn’t detract lol.
@@BrainWasherAttendent just my opinion. i didnt like it with bass, it steps on the kick and guitar
@@Sixbillion1you’re absolutely correct. It’s perfect the way it is. The bass edits sound ridiculous.
Eff the haters mate! As a 59 year old who’s been there, it’s refreshing to see you appreciate good music! 🏴
Congrats on 20k btw!
Great album! 10/10
Death Magnetic is an insanely good album and produced by Rick Rubin, same guy who produced early Slayer stuff.
Unfortunately the production kinda ruined an incredible album
The first time I heard The Day that never comes I was driving home from work one night and I only heard the second half of the songI didn't know. I didn't hear the first half and I knew it was Metallica instantly and I knew they were back!!!
I got to see them during this tour in Sacramento 87 or 88'. Things are a bit fuzzy still, but I had fun during the 80s.
I am waiting for the turn comes to album Load.
Load and Reload have grown on me over the years. Unlike St Anger.
@@haxan6663 Actually Load is my favorite Metallica album. And I have a specific reason for that is: I can't listen 2 or 3 songs in a row that are in the same album. For example, And Justice For All song is nearly 10 minutes. If I play 1 more song from AJFA it will be 15 minutes of same kind of guitar tones, same kind of vocals and same kind of riffs. I don't like it, I don't want it. For the most part I just listen songs mixed from different albums. One from Master, one from Ride, one from justice, one from KEA, one from the Black. After 2 songs in a row that are in the same album is just unlistenable to me. Except for Load. I can listen the album Load in one shot. Probably its because the sound quality in Load is the best and for my taste. Before Load, vocals are just too low in the songs. One other thing is that before Load, the most important thing is the guitars not vocals. Guitars and riff are there and also there are some vocals too. But there is even instrumentals. So vocals are actually not the point. In Load guitars come to boost the vocals. James' actually singing well and beautiful. I like it better.
I like ReLoad too but not as Load. In ReLoad things that I love in Load is there again but songs, I don't find them that much interesting and beautiful.
I like the the thing that St. Anger is doing but I just hated the way it sounds. I like only 3 songs from St. Anger.
One of the best song of Metallica, its just pure Genius!!!!✨
Harvester of sorrow is by far the best song on the album.
Listen to what you want to young man. I'm 54 now, but when I was your age (maybe a bit younger), I was bullied because I walked my own path when it came to music. I had long hair and wore my denim and leather because it was who I was. Rock on dude 🤘😝👊
AJFA is a amazing album, so much anger in that album from the passing of Cliff. The lack of bass from Jason is the only thing missing. You must do Harvester of Sorrow next....sooooo fucking heavy!!!!
Yes! Yes! Yes! Harvester!!!!!!!!
I love this record, don’t listen to the haters. It’s in my top 3 of their records. Black Album, Master of Puppets and this record. I listen to this record when I work out.
Title track is one of my least favorites on this album (not that it's bad). I think you'll prefer Harvester of Sorrow or Shortest Straw over this one
Yeah, Shortest Straw is a banger!
Yup harvester and shortest straw are definitely the 2 best songs.
You think? My opinion is those you mentioned are "worse" than the title track. They're all good though but title track, blackened and frayed ends of sanity are my favourites!
To me Harvester of Sorrow and Eye of the Beholder could have been removed completely from the album. In my ears very boring songs.
I got this cd when I was 14. I'm 49 now and it still hits hard!! 🤘💪💯
BIRTH
SCHOOL
METALLICA
DEATH
\m/ 💀 \m/
This album doesn't have any bad tracks. But it does have one BIG problem. The problem is the bass or the non existent bass. Blame Lars & James for this problem
And justice for jason album sounds great
Live you hear the bass
This albums prefect the way it is
I would say, the absence of low frequencies on the bass, because the bass is actually audible, but all the low frequencies are on the guitars.
Wouldn't be Justice without the dry cold sound though!
Bro..seeing u react this way to this album melts my heart...no homo. I remember the day it was released my brother forced our parents to take us to Sam Goody to get it. It sounds just as good as the day I first head it 36 years ago. I'm a 50 year old metal junky from NJ USA and I love seeing a Brit who's my son's age who not only appreciates it...but appears to really understand it....!..big big ups bro..!!
AJFA is their best album imho
A lot of people give Lars a whole lot of crap about his drumming , but his work on this entire album is his best performance of all their collection. Killer guitar riffs , and James still had that angry aggressive sound in his voice .
Lots of timing change ups , just a complete masterpiece . I still remember getting home from the local music store after buying this album and being completely blown away listening to it , called up all my metal head friends and told them to get over to my house to hear this masterpiece . Ahhh to be 17 again full of anger and aggression . What a time to be alive .
I still listen to this epic album almost , if not daily
I wore this album out and not one time did i notice the lack of bass. It was only years later when folks started whining about it. Lol. The drums on this album are amazing! I dont know what needed to be " fixed".
People are over critical. Music is art. Enjoy each piece for what it is. Peace and love from a 58yo rocker who comes from a time before Metallica. It took a bit but I developed a taste for Megadeath. I was immediately hooked when Megadeath hit the scene.
hell yeah brother, this album takes #1 for me for metallica albums. i love it. it sounds so amazing, even tho they muted the bass it adds to the feel of the album and it’s overall just like a masterpiece imo.
Let me settle the debate. I'm 47 and grew up on all this metal shit. This is probably the best heavy metal album of all time with only Master of Puppets as a contender. One is, in my mind, the greatest metal song ever and it's on this album.
Bruv, you’ve gotta stop listening to haters who know NOTHING about Metallica. Whoever says Metallica stopped being heavy after this album are either tone deaf or just haven’t heard their recent material. Metallica’s last three albums have been heavy, fast and just like the old stuff. Wait til you hear songs like spit out the bone, that was just your life,
All nightmare long or 72 seasons. Can’t wait for you to check out the newer stuff and I highly recommend you check one of those out on your channel. This is coming from one of Metallica’s biggest fans
Best album they made, and by a long way, in my mind. It's so clever, so intricate, so heavy, so musically refined. It's a masterpiece in songwriting. Wonderful.
Here for the party!! Love that you're doing these mate.
I so wish i could hear all of these hits for the first time again! Love your reactions and content!
The Grunge Bands changed the "rock" music scene in the early 90's. I rejected a lot of the "Grunge Bands" ,except for Alice in Chains. You gotta check them out
I would listen to this on my Sony Walkman before going to sleep many nights in 1989/90. Still listening to it today. I hope these songs last forever. I sometimes fantasize about what it would be like to find this album or metal in general, really but especially an album like AJFA 100, 400, 1000, 4000 years from now. I would put on a hazmat suit and brave fallout if I knew where to find this album.
Wait till you see the Seattle 89 version
I got so many goosebumps the first time I listened to it I looked like a scared cat
I love watching reaction videos to metallica, and welcome to the family. Metallica are the greatest band ever for many reasons. I've not seen all your videos yet but I will get through them. Here is a is of underrated and top songs for you - Devils dance, outlaw torn, Bleeding me, Room of mirrors, inamorata, spit out the bone, atlas rise !, manunkind.......I could go on and on because of the sheer class of the band. Enjoy their music, I sure do.
Change is good in music. The evolution of Metallica through the years is a crazy journey! You have to listen to everything and judge for yourself. There is a reason they have been around for 40+ years! 🤘🤘🤘🤘 Keep going, bro!
The best thing about Metalica is their unique arrangements, they were ground breaking back in the day, nothing sounded like them.
The first time I heard this song, it came on my pandora shuffle, and I didn’t realize there were no lyrics for the first few minutes UNTIL the lyrics started and I was like “….wait how long have I been listening to this damn song?” 😂 I’ve been listening to Metallica literally my entire life, and I’ve yet to come across a song I don’t like. Keep on the journey and enjoy the ride!
If Lars got this sound from his drums without production, why does he ever have any production done? Genius
bro what you talking? the next album (known as the black album) is a great album, we would love to see you react to the unfrgiven/sad but true/the god that failed etc..................get it done bro its a fantastic album
Remember this my friend. The heavieeeessst song of this album. The shortest straw. And all of the songs of this album was beast! 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻
Its my far and away fav album of theirs. Everytrack comes so hard with it and still has amazing melody and rhythm. Truly i think their best.
Had this album on auto-reverse for about 5 years in the early 90's. Quality mattered not on a walkman (with bass boost) ! Got me through some mad times.
Dude, absolutely love watching you have the exact same reaction as I and my friends did 36 yrs ago.
🤘😎
Imagine listening to this in 1988 when it is first released and there is literally no other band or music like this song.... it really was a first....
Mind blowing.... because it was a new sound it never occurred to me that the bass was turned right down....
Amazing
i buy this album in 1989 and rest its history...the metalhead was born 😁🤘
Hey. I’m 55 and I’ve been a metal head all my life. Just started watching your channel and I love when younger people get into and appreciate metal. Love your reactions lol.
55 here too. Good to see this generation finding Metallica and learning what we already know. My son bought me tickets to see them last year for my birthday. He is into metal as much as me.
Love your reaction ❤
You’re probably around the same age as I was when I first heard it! Makes your reaction more real to me 💪
Can't wait for you to do Harvester of Sorrow!! Frayed Ends of Sanity!! This album was my introduction to Heavy Metal way back in 88 or 89. My love for Metallica has never faded. What a band!!
