Good review. I'm a Metallica fan, but I almost never listen to this record. Hardwired..., Dream No More, and Spit Out The Bone are the standout tracks for me. But there are too many songs I actively dislike, such as Atlas, Halo, and pretty much the whole second half of the album. It's just too sing-songey. Trying to become a metal version of modern Coldplay with stadium anthems that ring totally hollow to me. None of the urgency or danger of raw Metallica. I do feel 72 SEASONS was a dramatic improvement in song structure and seriousness of tone. Very few songs I actively dislike on 72S. Not a fan of Inamorata (I know it's "everyone's" favorite return-to-form track - but not mine)... it feels like Metallica's ode to Tool's 7empest as a contrived caricature of their sound. Does not feel authentic. "Hey, we gotta close the album with a proggy, epic 10-minute song that every fan will love." No. I'd be interested in your review of 72S.
Thank you for watching. If you go to my playlist called #MetalMonday you will see my review of 72 Seasons. Death Magnetic review is coming up next Monday 23rd Sept.
It's a good album. The problem with people is that they just don't seem to be able to get into anything that isn't totally striking and and obvious "hit" candidate.
I enjoyed metallica in my youth. Ride the lightning, kill em all, master of puppets, but man, these last 3 albums have been trash honestly. Idk if its james's voice or kirks weak solos with lar's basic drums. They just dont have the grip they used to have 80's and 90's. I know, their bank accounts say otherwise.
Death Magnetic have some of Kirk's most complicated solos? Also James vocal range has almost doubled in the last 3 albums since he began vocal training.

I really liked this album. It just came across to me that this was an album they had a lot of fun with
I love the good songs that you mentioned, still better that it exists- rather than non existence
The story of the lost phone is so funny to me. All those great ideas that didn't make the album... all because of damn phone
Yes, I thought that was funny alright.
I think it's tragic and flakey af. Are you kidding me, Kirk?! If I did that at work, I'd be fired and possibly prosecuted for Damage, Inc.

the black album was the end of Metallica for me. I liked it, but nothing after really.
Spot on review.
my dear long friend said hardwired is better death magnetic, i never listened to it but it cannot be that bad and i love death

their only weak album. A pure, uninspired, retro midlife crisis
4/10

@@ashwyne guess my ears don't hear it. All good. Just preference.
@@curtis5799 They sound basic to me too.
Wasn't able to get into it. I feel, for me at least, they've been out of ideas since St Anger
You must be deaf.
72 seasons is one of their best.
@@ilyeshmusic

Why are you reviewing it now...😅. The album was terrible.
Sorry fella, you’re about 8 years too late.

It's pitty that you rate album on the songs that you dislike.
First half of the album is legendary.
