REMEMBER! Timestamps are in the Description!
Well dude you all are actually entertaining and it surprised me I didn't mind the vid length. Metallica lost me on buying blind after the Black album but they have had good stuff since just not a whole album so I wonder how I will feel about this. I hope its not bloated with filler tracks like Hardwired did. That album would have been great with just 8 tracks. That guy is right Death Magnetic came off forced and they sound like they rushed the writing. So I really don't know what to expect. Cliff was a major influence on their older stuff and James used to write all the lyrics the quality of their songs has dropped since the others have more input. And Darkness was better live when they cut that fucking long ass beginning, its as annoying as Am I evil, even though both was good songs! DO KILL 'EM ALL!!!!! People do need to stop crying they will never again be raw like they was as pissed off teenagers and early 20s guys with Cliff and his influence and enjoy their evolution!
Age is a bullshit excuse listen to Slayers last album!
Dude in the yellow shirt needs to learn how to keep his mouth shut. First off he's annoying and says nonsense and the guy to the left is clearly thinking to himself "stfu". On top of that he talks over great riffs and lyrics. Meanwhile my guy in the blue keeps his mouth shut and take it all in. Hats off to him!
@@TheWhiteTruth88 1:40
72 seasons has a combination of thrash and hard rock elements. The music on load fits James’ voice so well. With 72 seasons, he vocally has outdone himself. I absolutely loved it.
Why is Metallica the only band that people say it's not very Metallica when it's Metallica
Guitar wise it isn't at all in any way
This is funny. I believe it’s because we all have our way of seeing Metallica and ways we as the audience want them to be. When they go in directions some fans don’t like, they get upset and say the thing lol.
@Keiren Cruickshank Poor albums.
@Black Wind Fire And Steel (Thrash) Agreed
@Black Wind Fire And Steel (Thrash) not by a long shot but from your screen name I can see why you wouldn’t like them. If you like Black Sabbath, like at all, (which is almost required) then those albums (not st anger) have something for you.
How can you not like 'One?' It's a perfect metal song. It's easily a top 5 Metallica track. I would've probably kept that to myself.
Top 5 metal songs in general I’d say
@@rayray5091 Top 5 songs i'd say
Dude has no clue what he is talking about when it comes to that song. It’s fine he doesn’t like it but to say it may be the worst in their entire catalog is a completely idiotic statement.
@@erikhill1980 yea like has he even listened to Lulu? theres a wholeee lot of songs in there that would easily fit that category
@@whydolotwordwhenfewworddot8431 Lulu isn't a Metallica album, it's a Lou Reed album.
36:08 you fellas must not be drummers or aware of how the instrument is played. But I can assure you the “going away” of the hi-hats when the bass drum accent occurs is not an “edit” lol. What’s happening is Lars’ right hand is traveling to the crash cymbals. The bass drum strikes have no hi-hat, it’s a crash cymbal which is a different frequency. Hope this helps. 👍
Lol, surprising that audio engineers like themselves don't know something as simple as that
I was thinking that too but I wasn't sure if that was all they were talking about. The right hand leaves the high hat for cymbal crashes because the left hand is underneath it and kind of trapped.
@@reddoo8936 yeah it's pretty funny!
@@reddoo8936lol
@@reddoo8936 audio engineers dont understand music.
To me, this album sounds like a really heavy reload. I love it
Not Load - Reload? Maybe it's should have title - "Unload"?
To me it sounds like a lighter version of Hardwired. I still like it though
there's nothing heavy about this. not a single heavy song other than maybe You Must Burn. Reload was heavier than this.
The yellow album = classic
It sure does
I really like almost every song which is pretty rare for me. I liked about half the songs on hardwired, but this one I like all but two of the songs which are track 4 and the "if darkness had a son". Chasing light is good, room of mirrors is good and has a dyer's eve type of vibe. And "crown of barbed wire" chorus is so bad ass. I do haven't digested the last few songs on the record but so far I like this album a lot. The vocal melodies and guitar riffs are awesome on this record.
B tier
@@robsteries D tier
@@michaelh7453 no
This album has grown on me a lot in the last couple weeks. Lux and the last 3 songs hit me immediately but the more I've taken it in, the more I appreciate this album as a whole. My ONLY complaint is the guitar tone/feel is so similar across the whole thing, it feels more like one big song than individual ones. But I'm happy.
I agree with everything! The guitar tone is lacking a bit, but all of the songs have grown on me.
i feel like the whole album is one big song. it tells a story,its metallicas story, and its a human story. theres a beginning, a middle and an end, especially with the thank you good night - which i truly hope it does not mean the last met album :(
i thank metallica for every record, and for every emotion i have felt listening to their music.
Similar experience. Felt like a flatline chug most of the time, with some nuggets every now and then that felt immediately wasted. Frustrating listen, but there was something intriguing enough about it that I kept giving it another go and another. Inamorata definitely hit me the strongest, and overall I ended up appreciating the whole album for what it is, and not dismissing it for what I wished it was. Definitely redemption after Hardwired...
@@PatrickMusilek James used a Hot-Rodded Marshall Head that Eddie Van Halen gave to him as gift. James wanted to use this Marshall Head on "Hardwired" but the amp wasn't working properly. They were able to get the legendary Jim Soldono to fix the head before making "72 Seasons" so that's the guitar tone your mindless ears are stepping on. Listening to you guys talk about instruments shows your ignorance of tones and sounds. And the whole band has agreed to write songs that they can play until they are 70 and maybe older, because they aren't a band that's gonna stop anytime soon. And why is Rudolph's father a human, holy red nose bro. Songs with strings, they all have strings, you should say acoustic guitar or classical instruments, because those literally are more straightforward.
Songs are too similar I agree. This album doesn't grab me like, earlier albums, I love load and Reload.
Speaking of the guitar harmonies in “Room of Mirrors”
“They don’t do that very often…”
They do it more than anyone else.
I can’t handle it bro lol
No way, In Flames (just as an example) is known for their guitar harmonies and they have released more albums Metallica. Plus they haven't had any "Loads or Reloads" in their catalogue without solos.
Right lmao like 90% of songs in the first 5 albums have harmonies
@@PatrickMusilekwho the hell is “In Flames”?
@@ImThe5thKing as well as Death Magnetic, Hardwired and 72 Seasons.
Inamorata is definitely my favorite song from this album and one of the best songs in their catalogue since Outlaw Torn 👏🏽
Boring, I nearly felt to sleep listening to this.
@@michaelh7453 👍🏽👏🏽
Inamorata feels like a modern or updated take on Outlaw Torn. I love it.
@@michaelh7453 It's not boring... but definitely could be shorter. Nothing special about this song, but I think people are enjoying this song empacticly for James and his broken heart. But musicaly just an OK song
'72 Seasons', 'Lux Æterna' & 'If Darkness Had a Son' are pretty good songs imo... I bought this album on CD (I ended my original CD collection recently... 1.415 CD's)
The only Metallica albums that I bought and I listened only two times and didn't like them are St. Anger', 'Death Magnetic' and 'Load' and I found 'Reload' mediocre... but I like all their other albums...👍🏻
There's actually a video of Kirk teaching Crown of Barbed Wire to James and Rob and they kinda work on it there and then which is pretty cool. "Metallica New Riff Tuning Room Montreal 19/07/2017"
Just got to the end and I enjoyed it so thanks for that. None of my friends like the same music as me so it's good to see other's opinions on it, even when you don't always agree. I think Room of Mirrors is my favourite song on it right now, the lyrical content I can really related to and I just love dual guitar harmonies.
Yeah I think the whole album is pretty bad ass. Even the "filler" songs are great. Crown of barbed wire is bad ass.
Patrick, I just needed to pop in here to tell you that I don't understand how you don't have 3 times the number of views. Your channel and you three guys together are very special. Your Metallica Reactions, in particular, have become like watching Norm Macdonald videos on some random day where I sit and end up spending the day watching the same old videos I've seen a thousand times.
All I can say is "what a album!" Love almost all the tracks from this album.
Really enjoying the creativity from this album. Reminds me so much of Load. Love it. I feel like Metallica are allowing themselves to have fun again by allowing their varying musical inspirations to show. James' vocals have been a pleasant surprise as well with new devices with more melody and vibrato.
Creativity? Uninspiring at best.
@@Metalovaiagree
It's more like "Hardwired to Kill Em' All" + 25% of And Justice For All...
😅👍🏻 (but I like it.)
If Death Magnetic is Justice II
And Hardwired is like the Black Album
Then Seasons is most akin to Reload
"Very raspy his voice is." Thanks Yoda lol
Fuel also starts with vocals.
The Memory Remains too
@@georgemarko8403 Not quite. It starts with the vocals and guitar. Fuel and Chasing Light are the only two to start solely with vocals. You could maybe count Anesthesia if we stretch the definition of vocals, but I wouldn't count it myself
@@erinnerungen8823 EXACTLY
Ok, as an audio nut myself, this is going to be a fascinating watch. Love this format 😊
Appreciate you guys. First time coming across your corner of the internet. Great reaction and entertaining upload overall. New sub here. All the best for the future, guys 🤘
Thanks so much!
Really interesting and honest session guys. I know most everything Metallica (not anywhere as technically savvy as you of course) and your take on most everything was spot on. Thank you.
You have a great angle for things like this. Please keep it up.
Much love and appreciation from Kel and I.
The Kel ‘N’Rich Show
PS…My favorite Metallica cover/mash up is MFate Medley,
Rich
1. How can you not like 'One'
2. You spoke over the best part of the album at the end of room of mirrors.
3. They do that kind of thing literally all the time
At my first listen Lux AEterna caught my attention, and it *was* my most favorite at that time, but man after a few more listens, Inamorata just really grew on me and goddamn it's legitimately now my most favorite one. Just, amazing. It's an 11-minute song that doesn't feel like an 11-minute song, and I wanted more....like, I don't want it to stop haha
Compltely agree with Inamorata. It's my favorite song on the album for sure
Kirk's riff on Chasing Light is so his Exodus era if you listened to some demos.
Their live show has most recently had 16 songs - that includes encore - and lasts at least 2:00. There are several different well-placed breaks. During the hardwired tour they did a 20-minute fun break on Now That We’re Dead, just like they used to do with Seek and Destroy in the 90’s.
I watched the whole thing. Thank You guys. 🎉
No thank you! And just so you know, pir Reload reaction just came out an hour or so ago!!!
Watching as we speak!
i bought this album and it sounds good everyone playing tight would highly recommend adding this to your record collection love this is a masterpiece
I liked too... not my favorite, but a good one imo...👍🏻
I guess I got the end of saturday/beginning of sunday covered! Thanks guys!
The yellow man talks like he knows everything.
He calls Crown of barbed wire a bloody demo ...lol !!!! Fantastic song.
Appreciated the conversation about talking before the review and if that was needed or frustrating to viewers. Was thinking ok...get to the review. Then started getting sucked into the conversation. Enjoyed getting educated about frequency levels.
Really enjoyed this show. 72 comes over somewhat as a Re-Wired To Self Destruct LOL but some exceptional stuff here and now lots more to unpack thankyou! The very definition of a 'grower' and shout out to the Diamond Head-esk Too Far Gone love it! \m/
you're spot on with sleepwalk my life away chorus sounding like 90's grunge - but its so good!
This was awesome. Im only an amateur dabbler with audio stuff but its pretty cool to hear people talk about production.
2:06:49 Blue Chris knows how to recognize a badass riff
This album is a "grower". The more I listen to it, the more I like it! Top 3 songs for me would be Inamorata, Room of Mirrors and Lux Æterna. I think this album will go down as the best modern Metallica album post St. Anger.
Too Far Gone?, Room of Mirrors and Inmorata have great harmonies that I really enjoy that let me keep wanting to revisit those songs. I really wish this album had more harmonies like that. If I was the producer I’d have pushed this album in the direction. Like come on lads, this is the great shite that like a great rug really ties the room together.
I feel like they Metallica misinterpreted why people didn’t like LuLu. I’m upset we don’t get some of the style guitars, ballad sound from the song Jr Dad. I want to like Jr. Dad but then Lou who just sounds tone deaf talking over Metallica I want to hear. I also wish there was a Instrumental on the album. I love hearing classical metallica guitars then mixing with heavy metal guitars. Love to see them go back to those elements again.
You Must Burn! Has a nice slow groove. Lux is a nice fun fast song. But overall the first listen through, I have to just accept that Metallica moves in their own direction. Right now I want the direction Tool moved into. Trippy metal. When you listen to Orion from 1986 before Tool existed. Tool as a band especially with FI have gone great metal that in an alternate reality Metallica did more in that space. More music like Orion. Taking us on a visual journey. My hopes. As an adult, Tool hasn’t let me down with their new albums. Metallica new albums I find a couple of songs I can love. Examples…. I love The Day That Never Comes & Spit Out The Bone. To me those two songs are as good as any song off the early albums. I truly love them on that level. I don’t know if I can say that with any song on here yet. But I do love those harmonies on the last 3 songs of 72 seasons.
I haven't heard Lulu yet, but I think I agree with what you are saying in that I wish there was a variety of more clean guitar sounds, and more minimalistic "ballad" sounding parts.
There are soooooo many references to other songs sprinkled throughout this album. It’s really fun every time I catch a new one. The cameo of the guitar and drum part from Cure in Barbed Wire made me grin.
I used to sing the 1,2,3,4,5 song all the time. So incredibly catchy and well arranged!
Ahh man this album just gets better with each listen for me, front to back.. I love it!! (least favourite track is Sleepwalk My Life Away)
I definitely didn't and still do not feel the same way about Hardwired.
P.S. You guys are wrong (lol) Crown Of Barbed Wire is a great track so is Chasing Light !
I agree I like it more and more each time i listen to it!
Something that happened to me is that I enjoyed waaaay more that song after listening to the live version. You get much more the feeling of it.
@@sancamilobad yes I completely agree 👍
I think 'Sleepwalk' is my 2nd fave song off the album, great how we all prefer something different from it.
@@Wilss it's true! The one that still sticks in my head is If Darkness Had a Son!
Awesome videos! Congrats for all of you. Your opinion is very important, and objetive. Im so sorry for my bad english, im from Argentina! I see all your videos, and wait the Hardwired self-destruct album Video. I love hear you, and analized song by song. Grettings from Bariloche, Argentina!
pd: maybe you talk so much in the middle of song, but is a little problem of my brain haha :) and man left is simillary Marco Hietala from Nigtwish..little little jaja
1:38:03 The 3 descending notes sound so much like the tone from Sad But True.
This is my favorite from the album.
They've technically made a "Making of" documentary since the black album. There was "A Year and a Half in the Life of Metallica" for the Black Album. There were various "Fan Can" videos for Load and Reload. Then of course there's Some kind of monster for St. Anger. Finally, Death Magnetic and Hardwired both had videos released of them making every song that you can watch on RUclips.
The other guy at the end of Inamorata was James talking to Greg Fidelman, i believe he started producing for them on Death Magnetic, so if you react to that album and Hardwired, its all him.
I also believe, looking at Black album behind the scenes footage of them making the album, they have a sound engineer they have used since then as well. Dont know his name.
Pretty sure Death was Rick Rubin. But if greg was involved he did all the heavy lifting. Although I think Death is my favorite album since Justice. If you count the Garage then that's my favorite by far since justice.
There's actually 3 cover albums. The very first garage days was on the creeping death ep and the did "am I evil" and "blitzkrieg". The second was garage days re-revisited and that had 5 songs on it and it introduced Jason into the band. It had the same 5 songs on each side. I have an original copy of the cassette and the original creeping death ep on cassette. Then in 98 they released "garage Inc" which is where they did new covers and they put all the rest of their covers on the second disc.
yep. I'm always seeing vids where youngsters are talking about Garage Inc like its the first time they did a covers. I still have my original Creeping Death Ep cassette too.
And this new release is a covers' album of their own albums all mixed together.
@@michaelh7453 pretty much yeah.
So, first of all very nice video! Got kinda addicted and already saw your AJFA and Black Album videos. Love this concept. Second of all, please, pretty please, when you will encounter Death Magnetic, listen to (at least) the iTunes (not so) remastered verison. It does not have the clipping that the original does and you can finally hear the instruments correctly. It is still a bit compressed, but man, its an improvement. So, again I beg you. Listen to that verison instead!
Looking forward to it!
I haven’t even listened to myself yet. I think I’ll listen with you guys. I heard a few. I kind of know what expect.
Hell yeah. Love the album
I would group Inamorata in with the “Load” era style of closing songs with Outlaw Torn and Fixxxer. It’s like a part 3 of those 2.
100% agree!
agree, The Outlaw Torn, Fixxxer, All Within My Hands, My Apocalypse, Spit Out the Bone, Inamorata, all great closers
When he sings "wire" it sounds like a wire. Love it
I feel like you're always going to hear things that sound like parts of other songs. That is to be expected from a band that has been around for so long and had basically the same songwriters the whole time. But, don't let it take away from the current song or album itself.
Definitly! I enjoy hearing callbacks!
This is my first time here and I absolutely loved listening to you guys break down this album from a professional point of view. 👍 I was definitely feeling bored on the first listen but now it's on non-stop.
Make sure to check out our other Metallica reactions but beware, a lot of people were frustrated that I talked too much over the music during the Ride and Master reactions. However, I learned from that and I think the Justice, Black Album, and Kill Em All reactions are much better!
@@PatrickMusilekI love you guys talking, that's kind of the point of a reaction video. Bizarre that people get angry about it too; put the album on if you just want to hear the songs. Your other videos are great too ( St Anger was a rollercoaster 😂)
I think they are just having fun and enjoying making music after all these years for us as fans.🤘🔥🤘🔥
this is going to be a classic album watch
I love the lad in the blue top. It’s like he’s out of his head on coke. This album is amazing, by the way. The Yellow Album rules.
I don't know what the fuck happened to my phone that made me spam reply your comment but I'm so sorry about that.
Anyways I was trying to say that I completely agree with you and thought he was drugged tf out during the Kill Em All video
Yeah he’s tweaked on every video
Glad to hear pros share my love for Inamorata.
Room of Mirrors is top tier. Shout out to Chris for wearing a yellow shirt. Takes alot of confidence to wear pure yellow.
Hey that is ME wearing the yellow lol! But I will take the compliment! Chris Schoenberg (who is to my right, in the room with me) wears a different metal band shirt every day. And I mean every day too. We went garage sale-ing in 90° weather last weekend and he literally wore a black metal shirt!
@@PatrickMusilek My bad, Patrick. I really enjoy your channel and can’t wait to see the rest of your reactions.
After listening this album 10 times or so, stating that my first impresion was meh+, now I really love the album overall. I think it's the metallica fan in me that always wants more, but always forget that they are in 2023 just like me, and time flies, and I dont know where I am in time, I forget very often that they aren't the guys who I felt in love in justice, but they are still a great band, and they are still honest, and that is a key to analysing music. If the musicians are honest, their music has to evolve just like them, evolve not in the way you want, just the way it is. You're no longer in your 20's, so you your music should sound like in your 20's, wouldn't that be trying to imitate your own young self?
If/when you listen to Load and Reload a lot more of this album will make sense, quite often when you say something is "Black album" it's more like Load/Reload
I was thinking that might be the case. I am honestly excited to hear them!
Yeah boys, you got to react to their death magnetic album. I want to see your opinion about the loudness war on this album that destroyed it. But the songs are still great!
I laughed so hard when you said Godsmack and the look on your friends face.
Godsmack is an ongoing joke with these videos, but I DO like them. VOODOO!
@@PatrickMusilek I don’t know about them. One of my favorite bands growing up was Alice In Chains. They had a song called Godsmack which I believe is a reference to heroin. Anyways I thought Godsmack was way too influenced by Alice In Chains. Example Voodoo sounds close to Would? by Alice In Chains.
Ngl i feel like you guys are the only other people that noticed the Batman riff in Shadows Follow, everyone else i watch never noticed and it drove me crazy lol
I just realized listening for the second time the album entirely with you guys, that the solo in " Crown of barbed wired" is the EXACT same solo in "Slither" of Reload
360p it is, I don't have the patience to wait for the HD to process
For me, Screaming Suicide is like a mix of Through the Never & Creeping Death. And I LOVE it
I often wonder why they turned the crunch down. They used to be known as the Captains of Krunch. That being said, I have yet to skip a song on this album. I love it.
Yeah I’ve honestly felt the last two albums were under gained. 72 tone is better than Hardwired where the guitars were distractingly weak for the material, but still missing something here.
The incessant splashy hi hat got really old and I feel the album is too bassy and muddy, but still better than HW.
Some EQ, more bite I’m the guitars, and don’t play the hi hat for 80 minutes straight and it’s a damn solid album.
2:23:00 Those single note riffs in the higher frets of the thick strings are quite St. Anger style, there's a few on Death Magnetic too.
⚡ Title Track, Screaming Suicide and Lux are probably my favorites of this album I'm kinda on the fence about the other songs. Sorry for changing my comment my bad😂
I think I agree. Its a toss up between that one and If Darkness Had a Son...oh but I love the 11 minute one at the end as well!
All of these guys are near 60 years old, well Kirk is already there, and they are still playing this good. INSANE
Gosh. I’m loving this but I gotta say I’m watching it on 1.25x and it’s incredibly fun and hilarious that way too 😂
Oh I'm gonna try that!
Hey just wanted to say great video by you guys it was interesting to watch and hear your guys thoughts on the album as a whole! I was curious if we were allowed to suggestion bands or music? If not ignore my comment :p. But if we are i'd love to hear your thoughts and reaction at a band like Mastodon or Tool (i remember hearing you say you've never listened to tool in a video before this.) But anyways good video and enjoy the rest of your day :p
I love songs that are 5 to 8 minutes but songs that are 3 to 4 minutes are some that hit hard though. For me this album is something else. Kill Em All, Ride The Lightning, Master of Puppets, And Justice For All and The Black Album can't be touched by any band even them, but these last 2 albums are awesome.
The major development the band made for this album is that they turned the bass up slightly in the mix.
Agree with Webcam Chris - first thought I had on Room of Mirrors was that the vocals were very “Garage Inc’ey”
you guys should listen to some of StateofMercuries reworks of Metallica songs yes it may not be a "audio engineers react" sorta thing but it would be interesting to see if you guys prefer his reworked version over the original or whatever
That sounds interesting! I will look into it!
1:21:52 - maybe you're thinking of one of these songs?
Alice in Chains - Rooster
Audioslave - Like a Stone
You guys made me like this album and St anger more.
@7 min mark the Garage Days.The $5.98 E.P. album is all older covers the newer Garage Inc. is more covers with the older Garage Days included. The older songs are killer stuff and should listen to them.
When Chris… the one next to you. Asked the other Chris after chasing light if there was any other Metallica song that started like that with the vocals. Fuel. That is the only other Metallica song I know of with just vocals in the intro
I saw them in 1989 for the justice tour 🤘🏻
Also boy oh boy does the fellow on the right look like Jason Newsted!
The Batman reference on shadows follow fits the colorsceme of the album as well. Wished they included the Blackened-acoustic-song as bonus track
the "mercyful fate" song on garage, inc is a medley of songs by mercyful fate, and it's a prime example of metallica's covers NOT being better than the originals, though i do really like it.
Garage inc. is new covers and a reissue of the original garage days revisited and all of the covers that they would put on their singles. Garage Days Revisited ep might be one of my top Metallica albums. James sounds really fucking good and the recording is one of my favorites from the early days. Also one of the rare times where it sounds like they were having fun in the studio.
We are 100% going to react to Garage Inc. in fact, i just got my cd copy in the mail yesterday! But first we need to finish the studio albums!
There is something to do with the faces on hardwired if you watch the video for now that we’re dead it’ll be on how the cover was made
2:11:52 Fuel starts with vocals, the only other to do it i think if you dont count Anesteshia and some other "non-singing"
Without going through all the comments does anyone hear a similarity between Inamorata and My Friend of Misery musically in the harmonies and lead parts?
Love each song on this album. Don’t think that’s ever happened for me. I love Metallica, but I have my favorites from each album. 72 seasons though just is a masterpiece of an album. First vinyl I bought new. Got the 72 seasons blackened whiskey as well. Great reaction to the album as well. Do you have a favorite song from it?
The one that I keep coming back to is If Darkness Has A Son!
2:34:53 - 2:34:54 I think this was two different guitar takes spliced together or looped. There's a weird "hitch" at this moment. It's something I didn't notice the first 30 times I heard this song. Thoughts?
Well with the S&M you can use a DVD for the show. Would look for n BluRay copy now. But the show is amazing.
I'm guessing someone else posted this already, but the "awkward" Crown of Barbed Wire riff is a Kirk riff rather than James who writes most of their riffs). Actually, I believe Metallica posted the sound check video where Kirk came up with the riff a few years ago and James started playing along with him. Kirk also wrote the main riff for 72 Seasons, in case you care
Also, Rob does backing vocals in a few spots for once, including the LEAN ON ME in the chorus of Chasing Light
That is awesome! Seems like it is a rare occurrence in Metallica's catalogue, so definitely worth mentioning!
Definitely put this album after Load era, blues riffs and James lyrics and vocal sound. My favorite is probably lux and to far gone 🤘🤘
i saw metallica in atlanta ga. in 1995 on the floor right next to the barricade 35 bucks.
Such an excellent album!
So many interesting ideas in this album. Love the vocal experimentations, especially. But as always with modern Metallica, everything needs to be %30 shorter. They desperately need a real producer that can say no to them, but that's not gonna happen since they seem to value the comfort and control that comes with an in-house yes-man engineer like Fidelman more. All in all a very enjoyable but "just OK" album. Inamorata is an instant classic though. Best song since The Outlaw Torn.
They say this is the most stress free album they've ever made so I can pretty much guarantee if they are all in agreement they won't let the producer change their mind.
Half of the songs are way too short.
1:19:24 is very reminiscent of Fade to Black and also a song from Load
First seconds of Room Of Mirrors I was jaw dropped... Thought it was Stormbringer from Deep Purple!! XD
I agree with C Parker about Metallica being afraid to make short songs. On Death Magnetic, the song The End of the Line would be one of my favorites if it was 4 minutes. But that shit goes on for 7 minutes for no reason.
Why did dude say “why?” during the Too Far Gone? harmonies?
Shout out to Vivi in the background.
Metallica have been doing vocal harmonies like thusand Load days😂 I'd also love to know whether your opinion has changed on these aspects since falling in love with the Load album...
Whats up with Rudolph red nosed? Great content by the way!
