    Same album over and over and over again isn't good. You could say that it is... overkill haha... No change, no evolution, no real excitement for me. If you like the bands sound that is from their early days, listen to those albums. Metallica has shown that it can evolve and still kick ass. That's exciting.

    I can't believe I'm saying this, but this is the first record where I felt like the guitar solo on most the songs hurt them more than help. Kirk sounds like a little kid screaming in the corner saying look what I can do but what he's doing is elementary. It just adds nothing.

    As far as Metallica playing Sabbath, the middle of You Must Burn was killer! Honestly, there's something about this album's songwriting I find really captivating. Almost any song I put on, I'm thinking "this song.. could this be my favorite track on the album?". Anyways, I'd say they put some real love and effort into crafting these tunes, no tracks really feel like simple radio singles nor underdeveloped filler. They are songs that grow on you. They tend to repeat sections longer than necessary, but it's easy to get lost in the music and have an hour pass in no time.

    Exactly what I have been saying since it came out. It's pretty bad if even someone like myself can recognize it that quickly... If they just learned how to edit, or had someone who could say no to them, this album would have been above average. And yet people are still giving it an 8/10 as is when it's this tedious. And on the flip side, Inamorata is their longest song, and yet it actually attempts to go somewhere, unlike the rest of the album. What a novel concept...

    The biggest problem with that album is the drumming. Lars just cruises over riffs and riffs transitions like he's not listening to what's going on. He pretty much plays the same three beats over and over through the entire album. That's not nearly good enough to make an hour album listenable. It just drags and drags endlessly. 2 out of 10 for me.

    ​@@madwolfdrawing Agreed! The Unnamed Feeling, for sure, hits me like a truck on relatability... as does St. Anger. For example - I think the biggest common complaint, Lars' snare sound, isn't actually horrible - it just shouldn't have been the complete sound for the whole album. If they had used it sparingly, like an effect, on some parts of songs - it could have been very cool. The Pre-Chorus, post-chorus and bridge sections of St. Anger (the song) really pop with that snare sound (its kind of sounds like a bell, or something). I just think that, for example, could have been better if not over-used. I understand that that doesn't really work well playing live, but in the studio - that absolutely could have been a thing.

    McTallica is the McDonald's Happy Meal of metal. When we were younger it was the coolest thing, but then we grew up and realized that the most basic oversaturated garbage doesn't cut it anymore. Sure, I still enjoy a basic McDonald's cheeseburger when I need something fast and relatively harmless to fill a hunger void. James is the cheeseburger. Kirk is the cold fries that only taste good with lots of salt (wah pedal). Robert is the pack of apples that don't belong in the Happy Meal because it has too much value and nutrition (talent). Lars is the cheap toy that breaks in five minutes after taking out of the package that gets played with for five seconds and then forgotten. There's little to no nutritional value in a McDonald's Happy Meal, but chomp down on 72 Seasons because why not and Merica'!

    I never get what people expect from MetallicA.. We are talking about the band who covered Bob Seger and a acoustic Thin Lizzy song and have Elton John and Miley Cyrus doing covers. They are never going to release a modern experimental metal album. Especially when the band is full of 60-year-old guys. Most of the older bands still around have replaced some key members with younger guys to up the pace (Megadeth). I think Lars goes hard and plays in his lane. I was surprised to hear them do doom style songs, Burn the witch could be on a Candlemass album. I agree about the cover. The merch for this album will suck. I also don't get people with their "They have all the money they need why do they need to release a album" attitude. You should never say to a muso that they should not follow their passion to create music and I'm so sick of people whining about a band having too many songs on album. Some blatant ageism in this review. Love Dekays attitiude. Embrace MetallicA while we can before they are like Slayer and all we have a memories. Solid album and can't wait for the next one...

    I'm a fan of Blayne, but I have to agree. He came off incredibly gatekeepy and elitist here... Not that he was wrong on points - he was right on several. But the whole age and money thing? That bugged me, too. Metallica can, will, and should write _what they want_ to write, and those who aren't into it don't have to be. We will enjoy what we will enjoy. Megadeth is old and is still thrash, but Dave also fires anyone who doesn't keep up, who doesn't agree, and can't keep a lineup to save his life. There are other examples in other groups too... (I like Megadeth too, but the truth is the truth) Lastly - Metallica uses that big money and sinks it into touring and the crazy shit they set up for live events. They are and have always been a live/touring band, and that's where they put their money. Their connection to fans has always been at the shows. So they use that enormous budget for _us_ when we go see them. I wish I could afford it - but anyone I've ever known to see them live has all agreed it was worth it. I'll also add that Metallica has a great track record of taking and playing songs that were below average in what we call "quality" so much better live.

    The album is definitely based around James rhythm section and nice to see some base added to the mix. The solos do work with the great riffs. Now the drums are missing fills and tempo changes. Could almost be the same drum rhythm in every song. It is a solid record with a good mix of all thier discography. More heavy metal than thrash.

    IMO, it’s not a fantastic record but it’s also not too bad. Not a fan of the production. Everything sounds too compressed. James’s guitar is missing his signature crunch. There’s no grit in his tone. And the songs overall are ok. The last song, Inamorata, is probably my favorite. It’s got cool riffs, nice harmonies and interesting lyrics.

    The review was nice and you guys gave a lot of good objective comments, but the statement that old bands (35+ years) cant do great albums or bring anything new to the table is totally wrong. In an age where a lot of media are rehashing old content over and over, those old bands like Megadeth, Accept, Iron Maiden, Ozzy Osbourne, Voivod, Destruction, all of them released new records in which they take what made them powerful and important originally and make something new/meaningful without compromising their essence/style. Its kind of dissapointing to see Metallica dumb down on the lyrics, compared to what they used to write in the past, so its no excuse to say they cant make something powerful again.

My list of favorites grow everytime I listen to it, and only Sleepwalk My Life Away really doesn't do it for me at all... It sleepwalks all the way to the end imo hahaha! The rest of the songs all have a place on the album, although I do think that some trimming in places and some more effort on Kirk's part in the solo department (he probably was doing more surfing than time composing solos like you mentioned Blayne haha) would have took it up on the pedastal from really shiny Bronze to Silver (Gold being considered timeless classic here).

    Here's the thing for me: Metallica is a meat and potatoes band these days...meaning they're four guys playing and they SOUND like four guys playing. They're not like Rush where there's three guys but they sound like six guys. They're more like ZZ Top of the 70s and 00s. And when you sound barebones like that, it's hard to keep my interest when songs are 6, 8, 10 minutes long. Bang out a song and make it end in four minutes. This is why ZZ Top doesn't have many long songs.

    It's probably the first time in 30 years where I've listened to more than one or two songs of a Metallica album. Metallica got me into metal and I always hoped they would in some part make the music that first made me a fan. For me this was a lot better and there were some great parts of songs that remind you why they are a great band, but parts of songs don't make a good album. When you hear those great parts, you hope they are going to go in an old school direction but end up disappointing. You can use the excuse they are long into their career, but their contemporaries are still able to put out music that reflects the best of their careers, sadly Metallica are a shadow of the band they used to be.

    Counterpoint: Tool has only made 2 albums in the past 21 years, and I wasn't blown away by either one. Maynard has lost all the aggression from his vocals & now he basically sings like the guy from Ghost. The drumming & guitar work are always interesting, but the songs aren't nearly as memorable as anything from their first 2 albums. And their albums drag on for too long, much like Metallica.
