I've loved most of the last 3 albums with my only complaint being no instrumentals on the last 2, but everything is subjective and they are absolutely crushing it musically. As far as tones and mixing they are always going to be criticized no matter what they do. Victims of their own success. It's been that way with every single album since Master of Puppets.

Man you should hire out writing the solos and re produce the whole thing with arrangements and drum fills similar to AJFA and even MOP. There’s so many newer songs that are so close to being masterpieces if they just had better production, solos, and arrangements. Not huge changes other than solos. A lot of it is just hacking and slashing unnecessary parts of the songs like Lars retarded repeating snare for 10 seconds straight and the shittier fills. I actually wrote out all the parts on Death Magnetic that should be cut out, would’ve made the songs a lot more “listenable” imo. Sorry long response comment lol

There's such big nostalgia factor to this sound, all old time diehard fans would benefit from listening this, it makes you appreciate riffs more:)
