Has Metallica saved their legacy?

- Опубликовано: 27 ноя 2022
- Metallica’s legacy had started to feel somewhat tarnished by some of their latter albums and when Megadeth released their latest record The Sick, the Dying... and the Dead!, I’d pretty much completely given up hope on Metallica ever releasing another decent record ever again. Until today…

#Metallica #LuxÆterna #72Seasons
Lux Æterna is the latest single from the Metallica camp, and if you’re wondering, Lux Æterna is Latin for eternal light. An interesting choice of title for sure which is taken from a new LP called 72 Seasons set for release on Friday, April 14, 2023. This will also be Metallica’s 12th Studio album. So what does it mean for Metallica’s legacy?
Well, potentially we’re about to see Metallica return to their true Thrash & Metal roots. And I think I speak for everyone in the room when I say “That would be fucking epic”. Lux Æterna is certainly an angry song. It’s fast, it’s furious and it features some brutally classic Thrash lead from Kirk. James Hetfield seems pissed, the number one ingredient for Thrash, and Lars’ snare doesn’t sound like a trash can which is always a bonus.
If the rest of the new record is anything close to Lux Æterna then I think we’re all in for a treat and I for one am not only genuinely excited to hear it, but super stoked for Metallica. Makes you wonder what type of albums they would have released if they didn’t push towards hard rock in the 90s. If you want to pre-order 72 Seasons on special edition vinyl, I’ve included a link to Metallica’s store in the description.

![Least & Most “Sell-Out” Bits on Each Metallica Album [MG_39]](/img/1.gif)
If you don't agree with me, no problem. If you leave abusive comments I'll simply report and block you.
I for me I think that the new song is still a let down. It's just another try at starting again from their beginnings at Kill'em All. The problem they're always going to have is Lars l. Lars is not the drummer he used to be. I almost think he has some kind of condition. MS or something. But he literally can't play any of the old songs. Or he doesn't attempt to. He's not THAT old. And that's ignoring the fact that when he wasn't actually OLD he still couldn't play his old stuff. As musicians, they are all Hetfield, Hammer and Truillo, capable of more, but they can't because... Lars. And that's just the way it's going to be. And that's why I haven't bought an album from them since I threw St. Anger out my car window, day ONE. And haven't looked back.
😂 does someone need his safe place!?
Hard rock sells more than metal so I don't blame them for going that route.
Then stop telling people what to think about Metallica when you're full of shit about Metallica.
You are spot on. The Black album was the beginning of the end.
Some of my favorite rock songs are from Load and Reload so thank them for that. This album excited me in ways I haven't felt before.
It's definetly impossible to Metallica to loose their legacy. This is coming from a death-hard-megadeth-fan, that hates everything Metallica did after the Black Album. They are the most commercially sucessfull band in the world, there's no discussion about that. Lux Æternal was pretty mid to me tbh, but I have some high expectations in this album. Maybe this can be the first album that I like after Black. Great video bro
As a big motorhead fan, Another Perfect Day is in my top 5 Motorhead albums
My all time favourite band! I like a few songs from that record but I can also see why most people don't like it
@@RAWMUSICTV same, but as thin lizzy are my #4 favourite band, having Robbo is what I love about jt
It was the most underrated Motörhead album for decades, but now has earned the rightful praise it always should’ve received since 1983. It’s easily a Top 5 album.
Reminds me of Diamond Head.. it’s electric.. especially the chorus
They have never lost their legacy - only to fans stuck in the 80s or karenmetalheads. I love that they are still putting out music without having new band members every other year ;)
Love the vocals in this one. Nice driving drums as well. Anything Metallica does will always have the "expert karens"/. I just enjoy the music. Megadeth I like certain songs but they might as well rename the band to these guys who have to listen to NasalDave ;)
I too get sick and tired of people complaining whenever new Metallica music doesn't sound exactly like stuff off their first few albums. They've been around for FORTY YEARS, I WANT their sound to evolve and grow, as they evolve & grow as musicians. Honestly, imho they've only had one clunker of an album, and even that one has a few tracks I enjoy. Heck, the Hardwired album was fantastic, and this new track gives me high hopes for 72 Seasons.
Karenmetalheads....man that's perfect haha that's exactly what they are
@@pdegan2814 exactly it’s annoying as fuck like dude you can’t sound the same forever
Karenmetalhead - haha, amazingly put!
NasalDave haha I love Dave’s vocals I think they’re great and still great on the new record
IMO Load and Reload are great albums and their legacy is that they showed a great number of newer metal bands that it's ok to experiment, it's ok to change if you feel like it. It's also ok to go back to your roots as Metallica have done with their later albums. TO me personally, Load and Reload are amazing. Can't say the same about St. Anger and Death Magnetic, but there's some really great stuff on Hardwired. Looking forward to that new album coming out.
Blow it out your ass. Death Magnetic is their greatest album since Justice.
I liked Death Magnetic and Hardwired. I thought they were back with those 2 albums
They were
The production on Death was a little rough, and some songs just meandered a bit. Hardwired was a good record, but some songs were just average.
Ya just can't help but wonder how Cliff would have impacted all of this if he had not met a tragic end.
I saw the music video pop up and I was blown away. They sound so much like a mix of death magnetic and kill em all
I love the classic Motorhead lineup but also, I did and still love Another Perfect Day.
Lux Æterna is a pretty good song, seems to be on the right track to thrash and I like the double-bass drums from Lars. The riffs definitely give me a Kill ‘Em All vibe. I question the album title and cover though which is quite weird and yellow lol Who knows, maybe it’ll grow on me. It seems like the band is in a good direction. Can’t wait to see Metallica finally play live 🤘🔥
I think the last two albums helped bring them back up there again to who they always were .. Load and Reload grew on me several years later actually .. St Anger though .. ugh.. I tried folks lol.. day one buy.. and kept just skipping songs .. maybe if a few songs had the hollow drums .. the album to me at least just feels hollow still .. first 3 songs or so I can do.. the rest just doesn’t stay in my head .. hard wired is def one of my all time favs .. I’m excited for the new album.. the first single doesn’t grab me like hard wireds first single .. but it’s still better than anything on St Anger lol.. thanks for the great content .. can’t wait to see the tour in Seattle 2024 which feels 20000000 years from now !damn it ! Megadeths last two albums have been absolutely stellar though.. now that’s a band I’m glad found there footing again
I was just thinking when is raw music tv gonna talk about this perfect timing lol
I'll be making more opinion videos like this real soon!
@@RAWMUSICTV great! Also I’m happy Metallica got a song that sounds like thrash
20 years later and St Angers snare still gets shit. Proof that you are only as good as your last mistake. Lux Aeterna on the other hand is a great thrash tune. Can’t wait for the album.
Hope they do another kickass instrumental!!
Metallica hasn’t had their legacy in question in nearly two decades. Kind of pisses me off when people call this their return to form when death magnetic and hardwired exist.
Hell St. Anger definitely has some thrashy stuff on it even if its not a full just straight up thrash album
yeah and they're both C to B- albums
I have loved their load and reload when it came out. my friends didn't liked it but I did. I thought to myself, it would as no surprise for an aging band to change somewhere along the road. we all change, some mature some remain as kids in an old man's body. but despite that, I never came to terms with St. Anger. that was the first time I got so shocked I threw my newly bought cassette tape to the trash can. It was horrible.
@Jan Sandman you mean-
Lars’ snare? (Ba dum ching)
I like hardwired a lot more than this single. I also like tba and load. This guy's just off the mark.
I absolutely loved load and reload
Ya summed it up pretty well and millions of fans probably agree. But millions don’t agree because so many fans started getting into Metallica when “ one” came out plus the black album! They didn’t completely fall apart after Cliff died “ rip”! I personally love every track of first 3 albums. Loved most of Justice especially dyers eve! Blackened n Harvester n frayed n straw were great too! Black album was iffy for my thrash addiction but still heavy well produced n damn …. The ballads were amazing. I basically didn’t love loads n anger but anger riffs were thrashy n god I wish they could re produce that . Love the live version better . Last 2 albums are good n looking forward to 72 !
People hate Another Perfect Day? It just sounds like Motorhead to me.
Random question: Scott Ian with or without hair? 🤔 I know he's been so many years without, but...I remember him with hair, stomping it up. I guess the same question goes for Kerry King as well. 🤔
Controversial maybe, but like i like Load, Reload not so much, but Load doesnt have a song i skip, except for maybe Poor Twisted Me its ehh.
They never left my guy, Long live METALLICA!!!
The only album i never liked was st. Anger. Death magnetic and hardwired are great albums. Load and reload are in a category their own but still great albums.
This thrash thing is silly. They’re not a thrash band it’s just Metallica.
Dude, do you ever listen to the 80s albums of metallica you would understand and the 90's stuff is terrible and the newer albums would all thrash as what he said
They started out as a Thrash band, got caught up in the Alternative Rock thing to stay relevant, and trying to get back to their Thrash roots!!!!!
However you look at it, they are still a Great band!!!!!
imagine if the hidden surprise was Dave Mustaine actually doing a song for Metallica so you know , Dave can shut the fuck up about getting kicked out of Metallica once and for all.
😂😂😂
He will NEVER stop complaining about that my guy
@@pedrobroek2228 ya that is true. Probably that is the sole driving force of his existence.
🤣
sorry, the new Megadeth eats this shit up for breakfast.
Everything I’ve seen and read always gives Cliff massive credit for the creative musical and lyrical construction of Ride and Puppets. It makes sense they lost their way ever since; it’s so evident in all their later albums. I’ll always love the earlier albums and Metallica will go down in history as the best, there’s no doubt. Granted they can still thrash, but the creativity and complexity in their song construction is long lost..
I think part of the situation is that there was a lot of (and still is) great new music released every year and new bands as well. For example: if Iron Maiden released a fantastic new album, and bands like Dream Theater, Pantera etc. debuted, Metallica's latest album (and albums by other bands) might get lost in the shuffle unless they are phenomenal.
It's ok .. It sounds like a rehashed killing time from garage inc. But still Interested to see what the rest of the record entails
🎧 now
I love metallica band when is step by steps who is most grandiose band on the stage today.
People evolve and change throughout their lives and the music will reflect that. I give Metallica props for always staying true to what they enjoyed playing and wanted to hear rather than just conceding to what the masses want like true sellouts.
I just bought my ticket for their show in holland next year
You must’ve paid a small fortune!!!! But I’m sure it’ll be worth it!!!!!!\M/
You did not, they are not on sale yet, presale is tomorrow for met members.
@@jutjub22 yeah presale, 160 euros
@@stanfordkoch1271 Why did you lie?
@@jutjub22 i did not, here in the netherlands you can buy them pre sale
It's weird because they only really had one properly bad album. Plus, everyone's acting like Lux Eterna is the second coming, when it really doesn't sound any different from Hardwired 🤷♂️
I would probably like them now if I wasn't a huge fan before the black album
Well by bday is on the 25th of April close enough to count for my bday XD
They did save it on the new record, the songs have a little something from their whole Legacy of songs they did in the past which includes the 90s and st anger the previous 2 records death magnetic and hardwired where them ebracing their roots and making fast thrashy songs, i just think this 72 seasons is a more focused album they all just learned alot on the way and now comes back to just embrace all of it.... They have a varied account of experiences and albums and they just made something using all of that experience to their benefit.
Their legacy is set in stone. People seem to sook a lot because they don't make the same album over and over, I like that they grow and try new things as a band and have never been afraid to do what they want to do, people change and experience things throughout their lives.
The first 4 albums give full license for them to do whatever the hell they want
I'm not gonna jump the gun on anything yet. I remember they came out of the gate strong with Hardwired, which was fast, energetic thrash, but then we heard the rest of the album... It wasn't bad per se, but most of it was still a far cry from that 80s thrash Metallica we all know and love. Not that they could ever make Master of Puppets again. That was a long time ago, a much different time, they were young and angry and they had Cliff then. But still, plenty of other 80s thrash bands are still cranking out heavy as hell, speedy thrash like Megadeth, Testament, Exodus, Death Angel, Overkill etc. So it's possible to kick some butt even if the 1980s are long gone and you're in your 50s. Case and point: In 2003 Metallica put the god awful now infamous St. Anger. The following year Exodus put out the awesome Tempo of the Damned. Need I say more? The 2 singles they've released from 72 Seasons are promising, but I will reserve judgment until I hear the whole album.
We loved “Load” and “Reload, but wasn’t thrilled with the rest. However,”Hardwired….To Self-Destruct,” we felt the band redeemed themselves.
Hope kirk has better solos up his sleeve tbh
Agreed! The solo in this clip sounds like it was sampled from Kill Em All.
@@MrChopsticktech not at all. Kill Em All solos are good, that new one was awful.
Saved? Their legacy was never in danger.. come on
Honestly, Lux Eterna sounded like a heavy version of The Offspring. Not bad, but nothing I'm really excited about.
It's very OK for a band to experiment with the sound, that means they're not stuck and evolve. Just because the music they like and put out isn't liked by the majority, or even disliked, doesn't mean that they're bad artists and "lost their way". There's no other way. The only way is to play and come up with music that they like in the first place and believe in their aesthetic vision. That's called having integrity as an artist and staying true to yourself. We shouldn't judge an artist's aesthetic success by how the public reacts to it. Kudos to Metallica for being true to themselves and ever changing!
Slayer
I'm afraid that the new album will sound like Hardwired, metal songs with pop production...
Digital you mean?
It sounds verry similar to hw and dm with a bit of black album
@@mr.echo24 No.
Metallica fan since '85!!!!!!!
I think it's great they evolved and didn't stay the same like slayer for example.
This might be because I only really got into Metallica a couple of years ago, but I really enjoy most of their discography. There are even parts of St Anger that I really dig. Also I think that The Black Album and Load are two of the best albums that the band has ever produced. Sure their relevancy has waned over the years, but it's impressive that a band this old has never really gone away or faded from rock culture.
Metallica just like a wind just like water. Long life with adaptation.
You forgot, " And Justice for All ."
Great video.
Shame how things really turned out with the newest Metallica album.
Not mad at the new track at all.
What's wrong with "Another perfect day"? "72 Seasons'" is an 11th album. "Garage Inc." doesn't count as it's a cover album.
Cliff Burton died and Metallica lost its soul. It’s like if Zep had decided to continue without Bonham
Hardwired was actually awesome imh 🤘
Well they would have released more 80's thrash,i understand that music is subjective but saying that Metallica wasn't good and/or Megadeth was better (which by album sells that's not the case) is also subjective....i thankfully don't like one style of music nor do i judge a band based on how close they are to a particular style or sound,if it's pleasing to hear i like it and i have an open mind to include many types and sounds,St.Anger although not my preferred style to listen to was good for what it was but the changes made on that album were expiremental to any band as far as i could tell,maybe the biggest change ever made as far as from and to,but I've enjoyed everything Metallica has done to some level even St.Anger,I'm glad for it too bc i don't have to be disappointed in a musical act most of my life which as a very huge music fan especially metal....would really suck ass 🤘😝🤘
🤘
Load was a good album no one will ever change my mind.
Metallica will always be number one to me always and forever
I do hear a bit of nods to the older sound but I gotta compare it to when I first heard Hardwired (the single), that song sounded vicious and held on to its intensity for its 3 minute runtime. Whereas Lux Æterna sounds more like a soft Motörhead song. I know they can emulate Motörhead well, we've heard it in Motorbreath, but it's because that was raw and aggressive. This song sounds a bit too polished and mid-tempo for myself at least, to consider this their "return to form". But hey, I don't know what the rest of the album sounds like. Maybe Lux is just the breather track in the middle of the album and the rest is reminiscent of their old school sound. We'll just wait and see.
Save their legacy? They never lost it try rocking that hard when your about 60!
Do a Deftones episode !
Yes
No, a lot of what you’re saying isn’t really about their legacy. It’s your personal view and there’s nothing wrong with your personal view. If you hate every album after 1986 there’s nothing wrong with that at all for you.
No, I mean yes there are people that feel the same way as you but I think there’s also a larger group of people that understand that as they get older they widen their own taste in music. I don’t think Metallica ever sit out to say “OK we’re going to make a hard rock album.” I think they just do what they feel and don’t really care about what anyone else thinks.
I mean yeah, slayer in Megadeth always made pure thrash metal albums but it’s not like the fans rewarded them. You never hear anyone talk about any of their albums past the mid 90s. They can play those songs live and nobody can tell you the name of any of those songs Pass the mid 90s really.
And I would say everything since Death Magnetic in 2008 has been thrash bud it’s not as good as the Rady stuff but I still think it’s great music but they’ve already written their greatest songs. I mean if you take a thrash metal checklist and whatever you put on that list to make something thrash metal I definitely think Hardwired and Death Magnetic check those boxes. The thing is is that it’s been 30 years since the thrash metal days were the hardest type of metal we had. Since then you’ve had death metal, Nu Metal , Grindcore, black metal, Deathcore, etc. So if a band makes a thrash album that would’ve sounded great in 1987. It just doesn’t have the same kick to. It is all really.
I was in a band in the old second half of the 2000s and we were all big fans of bands like Pantera, Ozzy, Metallica, Megadeth, Sepultura, Slayer, etc. but when you make thrash or groove metal or just 80s metal in modern times it kind of feels like hard rock because hard rock is now a lot harder than it was. Like if someone made an album with 10 songs that could’ve been on any of the four first Black Sabbath albums and they put it out today it would be considered hard rock.
As far as their legacy, their legacy is intact. They’re going to go down as one of the biggest metal bands in history and they did a lot for the genre. I know your basement dwelling diehard metalhead wearing a Cannibal Corpse T-shirt is probably still on line today, crying about the black album, but the fact of the matter is That the black album introduced a lot of people to metal. I’m not saying the black album is the greatest metal album by any means. My favorite Metallica albums are the first four albums. But that album got a lot of people into Metallica and it got a lot of people into other bands that they would’ve never of gotten into if it wasn’t for them discovery Metallica through the Black album.
Slayer and Megadeth didn’t have any albums going gold in the 80s but their 80s albums with gold in the early 90s after the black album came out. Less than 100,000 people bought Kill Em All and Ride. The lightning win those albums came out. Today those albums have sold millions of copies but only after the Black album came out.
So yeah, you’re always going to have the people in the metal crown that never grew up and who actually can’t stand people that don’t listen to the hardest mental and are extremely judge mental towards anyone who isn’t a mentor fan. But then you’ve got the majority of people who aren’t like that And realize an entire band legacy doesn’t hang on a few albums that individuals didn’t like.
I’m actually really glad Metallica didn’t become one of those bands that just put out the same album 10 times in a row. I think that’s the real definition of selling out. When you’re putting out the same album over and over and over again because you’re scared to death of being labeled, the sellout, but that’s kind of what you’re doing. No the load albums aren’t thrash metal but I don’t think that makes them bad music. But I’m someone that listens to blues, hip-hop, rock, metal, etc. You can be a fan of metal and steel like other music. No, I traded in my “metalhead.” Name badge a long time ago. There’s too many rules in the metalhead handbook and I want no parts of that. So, despite how you might feel about them as an individual, they’re still going to go down as the biggest metal band of all time and they are legends.
Imo better then most bands from their era .
Death Magnetic and Hardwired, questionable? - You lost me there.
Lux aeterna is not an angry sounding song at all!
It was never in jeopardy
They lost me Load through St Anger butHardwired was good fucking album. Hope this is even better. Death Magnetic was a small step in the right direction but not very good.
METLLICA'S new cd is the best thing they have put out scene the black album but its no were as good as the black album and justic. motley and guns were 2 of the biggest metal bands of the 80s ,early 90s and neather have put out a good album scene then, its the same for def lep and poison sadly and metallica is in the same camp, i don't know why they are not playing state fairs and casinos like motley well be.
So you liked Hardwired and DM but had also given up hope of Metallica ever releasing another good album?
I find the new song lack luster . Feels like they are doing a cover of some obscure 70s band
Amazing how they had a return to form in 2008, 2016 and now again in 2022... Are people just suffering from short memories or is it just cool to say that Metallica can't write good albums after the fact?
And laughable that we're talking about legacy 🤣 Metallica could've never released another thing and they would still be considered one of the greatest ever and most would agree that IF their last album was hardwired it was a VERY solid last effort... Fortunately Metallica are releasing another record though, and and in a few years time we'll do all this all over again.
As for the song, it's great fun. Kinda like hardwired in that it's simple heavy thrash pop, short and sweet. I think it would have fit nicely on kill em all or hardwired. Hetfield sounds great (like he did on DM and HW...short memories).
The black album load & reload st anger death magnetic hardwired they jumped the shark horrible Albums! 83-89 is when they rule 🤘🤘🤘🤘
If you gotta give shame, give credit to producer Bob Rock. Please accept Vancouver BC's apologies for our role in uniting Bob Rock with Metallica as the scene of the crime. We're sorry
I think his divorce gave him that push?
Please don‘t speak for fans in generell, but only for yourself. I‘ve been a fan for 36 years and my disappointment with the Boys is, that they stopped exploring, experimenting, surprising. What might be weird to you, are for me some of their best songs- no matter off from Load, Re-Load or St. Anger. Yes, the new song is good, but they‘ve done this before, they sounded the same before, (like Hardwired…) it could even be from another Band. I think their Music became common with Hardwired…And that‘s something you couldn‘t say about them for at least over 25 years. If your not happy with the last 30 Metalli-Years, sorry to hear. I can‘t stress enough how much I miss these days where they separated themselves from the rest with different sounds, styles, approaches and songs on every Album. Two more things: I definetely prefer St. Anger-tin-can-Snare over Hardwired-artificial-sounding-Snare and the differences between Metallica and Megadeth? Megadeth is not a Band. It‘s Mustaine with 2 or 3 new Dudes every 5 years or paying Colaiuta to play Drums on his Album…
It's a figure of speech not a literal statement. Someone of your age should be well aware of that.
@@RAWMUSICTV I got it, Sir. But then again, someone of my age (should this be offensiv?) is wondering why using a figure of speech at all, while trying to get your opinon across, especially when this figure of speech can be misunderstood. Which someone of your age should be well aware of, too. So here’s a advice from the elderly: When you don‘t speak for everyone, just don‘t say it. All the best.
It's a figure of speech. Simple as that.
@@RAWMUSICTV Hey dude, I love your videos and I have no issue with this one as well, however when I read this comment thread, I felt like there was a bit of miscommunication. OP doesn’t seem to be a native speaker, (going by their name I’m assuming some kind of Germanic nationality) and from that point of view you can indeed come across as if you were talking for fans in general and not just yourself (since you mostly spoke in third person instead of first). I’m German so I kind of understand it, since our language works a little differently than English (obviously) and when you translate things literally, you don’t always get the exact meanings or things can come across harsher. They say they understand this/your figure of speech, but I honestly don’t think they did, at least not the way a native speaker would’ve 😅 I’m not saying you need to accommodate that when making videos, the way you speak is fine and I think most people understand you the way it was intended, however next time sth like this comes up, maybe try to keep in mind that not everyone is as fluent in English as you are (I know it’s easy for native English speakers to forget this in our globalized world) and reply a little more kindly/explain more instead of “someone your age should be aware of this etc.”.
This was a longass comment and I hope I got my point across (I don’t think you have to change your way of speaking, I know you usually do documentaries and that’s just your style, so there’s nothing wrong with the vid (although OPs point that some fans have preferred Metallica being experimental is also true)), I’m just a little bit peeved when native English speakers assume everyone understands them the way they understand themselves/that English figures of speech etc. seem obvious/self-evident.
Nevertheless, I’m curious to see what future videos of yours like this will look like :)
Hard rock sells more than metal so I don't blame them for going that route
Lifelong metal guy and ill always say metallicas first 4 are the best any band has or will put out. im embarrassed for them after the 1st 4.
Their legacy is fine and the massive mark they've left on music history will not be denied. Some of the statements in this video sound like the Metal-equivalent of the cringy-ass hipsters who complained when Bob Dylan used an electric guitar. The thing is, Metallica are operating on a WAY higher tier than most acts spanning all genres. Even if you don't listen to anything close to Metal, you likely know who Metallica is. They broke the barriers, to worldwide acceptance, held records for #1 releases and albums sold. No other act in the Thrash or Speed Metal spheres are coming close to that. Opinions may vary on various stages of their career, but their success has shown that they can make a WIDE range of things work.
After the reload album they re just make music to exist and not fade away!their music is still good but just sound and feel weird.
Drums sound like pot 🍲
They even can't make an Instrumental track like they used to do.
Been a big fan since the late 80s and love all their music.. Well not st anger it pretty much sucked!. But I love metallica! And this new album is gonna kick ass!! Im not a fan still stuck in the 80s
You talk about veering off in “strange musical directions”, but seem to be ignoring the fact that this is a band that got bigger & bigger with each album - BIGGER THAN MEGADETH
And if you were an artist, would you want to do the same thing all the time for 40yrs. I wouldn’t 🤷🏽♂️
Testament
Metallica never went away and Metallica fans never went away and let's see Black album is still on the charts so what were you saying
I totally disagree for the decline of their merit as you suggest... Metallica had great album way beyond Master. A masterpiece such And Justice For All.. Two great albums such as Black and Load and some decent albums such Hardwired, Death Magnetic and Reload.. Ok St Anger and Lulu are not good...
There is a tendency, when Metallica releases a new album, that it is Metallica back to doing what they do best. Then later fans realise that it is far from their best. For every Screaming Suicide there is a Fade to Black that is simply superior. There are some awesome songs Metallica has released since the Black Album, but there is so much filler. I think part of the problem is Metallica takes too much control of the production, Lars has made some poor choices. I can understand how frustrating it was for Bob Rock during the Black Album. Metallica will never dent the what they did in the 80s. But if they binned some of the crap and used the time to polish their good ideas they could release albums as good as when they started.
St Anger is a great album,the last demo is absolutely insane,Lux Æterna is epic!
Agree, black album onwards way too Radio friendly and mainstream the first 3 albums are the best. Megadeth had always stayed trash and consistent
First of all I don’t get your renewed hope because of the new song. What’s the difference to Hardwired? Lux Aeterna could have been right off that Album. Giving up on them after Hardwired and having new faith after this one, seems weird to me. Same sounds, same style, no surprises. And don’t get too excited about the new Album, because of course it won’t all 12 Songs in that style. Second, please don’t speak for fans in generell, but only for yourself. I’ve been a fan for 36 years (and yes, I love the Albums of the 80ies, too) but my disappointment with the Band is, that they stopped exploring, experimenting, surprising. For
Well guess what Metallica's still around
Out of ALL The Metal bands out there, there are THE MOST Successful commercially in History!!!!!
At one time (when they were younger of course) they were my favorite band!!!!!
Now, in my humble opinion of them, they are Overrated!!!!:/
But still, I think they are and talented and Great Band!!!! And deserve all the accolades they received!!!!!!\M/
But the BESTEST EVER!!!!!!! I don’t agree!!!!!:/
Your premise is already wrong load/reload Era is my Era and the friends I grew up with not the 80s, so just dismissing that Era is fucked up
An opinion is subjective, it cannot be wrong.
Legacy's don't need to be saved 👍
I believe Robert joining the band brought Metallica back to their roots and finally gave the boys the ability to finally put Cliff's passing to rest and be free of the shadow of his death
Ive liked every album outside of the spoken word garbage … wow. Even I couldn’t get on board with that . To be honest I haven’t even listened to a full album since St anger.
Metallica never "lost their way"
listen to Master of Puppets and then anything off of St. Anger back to back and then reconsider
@@connorgregory5625 I mean I still like st anger
@@elkrumb9159 And some people are into scat (not the music kind).
I was not a fan of lux eterna still love Metallica tho
No have you heard the new song it's choppy in places and the lyrics are seven miles apart and doesn't flow well.....
Ive been a Metallica fan since 1983. ... The black album load and Re-load were 💩 Metallica albums... Master of Puppets there greatest album, kill em all ride the lightning, justice all real Metallica
Are they paying you guys to say all of this stuff? How is this any different from any of the other material they put out after the music industry decided the band was going to be a household name? For some reason I still listen to a local radio station and that horribly boring Lux Eterna gets played fifty times a day and that's not because people are requesting it. This whole thing is being astroturfed. They named themselves after a genre of music and then stopped playing that genre of music. They're sellouts who apparently weren't content with carrying the battle flag for a genre then helped define and all the money that would have still garnered them. I know Cliff was gone by the time Jusitce came out but I guess he was the true creative force in the band and once they figured his spirit wasn't looking over their shoulder they took that old Faustian deal. Go dig into how the music industry actually works and see how corrupt it is then tell me this band's success is organic.
To all of you that white knight and simp for this band, if you heard 99 people say the sky was red but just one who said it was blue you'd swear it was red. You like what you're told to like. You have the opinion you're told to have. Going along with the herd doesn't always mean you're going in the wrong direction. Sometimes the herd is correct, but you can't distinguish between when it's headed for a calm stream with fresh water and when it's headed to a raging river with a waterfall fifty yards downstream.
Yes. We got paid to say this because we don't have an opinion of our own. I bet you're one of the few "Real" Metal heads left, right? lol
