Blayne - ‘how long has Overkill been around…? 😂😂😂😂 nailed it!
100%
Blayne repping Overkill when they just released Ironbound part 4, while simultaneously slagging Metallica for not experimenting enough...
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.
@@jeffreydean7556 exactly 😂
1987! right!
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.
That is a nice review. I share the same feelings on this album.
Metallica need someone who has guts enough to tell them when an edit is needed and when something sucks. They have become the George Lucas of music.
The new albums would be 5 mins in length then.
EXACTLY
Bob rock did that in 1990, and failed to do so In 01 02 03...
The greatest reference of all time 😂😂 Real shit metallica is the greatest band of all time
Metallica has earned the right to do whatever they want to do. Just saw them in St Louis.
The title track, Shadows Follow, and Inamorata are some of my favorites. This album was definitely better than I expected.
for me : too far gone, room of mirrors, chasing and 72 season.
They cover an Animals As Leaders song?
@@danzigjrTitle only. The lyrics and music is a cover of lenny kravitz and gallows.
It's so fascinating that in youtube comments on this album people choose completely different songs as their favorites. Room of Mirrors is my #1
@@Safetysealed Inamorata has the same riff throughout the entire song, and the same drum beat. It's so boring.
Amazing review! Having both sides, the super Metallica fan and the one that it's over it and think they should do better makes this a real honest review. I agree with Blayne's score
Neither one of these guys are super Metallica fans. Go back and watch their live stream ranking Metallica albums. They have no clue about Metallica.
13:03 THIS!! RIGHT HERE!!!
there’s good stuff on this album, but it’s all bogged down by endless repetition. Like most of the songs need 2-3 mins lopped off, or the album as a whole needs almost 30mins totally cut 🤷♂️
Would make it much more listenable too.
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...
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.
I dig 72 a lot and because of this gave Hardwired, Death Magnetic and St. Anger a second chance. Gonna purchase all the shit.
I am enjoying the album. Just happy to have more Metallica. They are getting older and the album reflects that.
Enabler.
Megadeth is getting old too and look what they just put out last year. Age doesnt define ability
I loved blonde guy’s take about taking risks. After St. Anger, LuLu, two symphonic albums, acoustic versions, Load/Reload after the 80s…you tell them to experiment more. The number of risks they’ve taken and remained at the top is crazy.
Seriously. I can't think of any bands nearly as popular as Metallica who have experimented anywhere near as much as they have.
Those risks are the reason why they are on top, or just their 5 premier albums? Strip their career of it, what would remain?
Love the double-review. Great jobs guys, really enjoyed it and i really can relay to both of you. Cheers
You want old Kirk? Listen to his solo project from last year. Totally instrumental and it really good.
I'm in love with the album so far, I can see its flaws but I love the kill em all meets load vibes, Far too gone and room of mirrors are killer tracks!!
I agree - Even Hardwired did that for me; it had Black Album/Load/Re-Load vibes. I always imagine it was the lost sequel to the Black Album, and prequel to Load/Re-Load.
(Btw, I'm one of the fans who does like those records - St. Anger too. St. Anger just needed better production choices.)
@@pixel_glitched Right on man!! ST Anger is one of my fave Metallica records as well, lyrics are very dark and relatable and the aggression is there, the production just wasn't the best.
@@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.
Sorry Dekay, but I have to side with Blayne on this one.
my first listen, i too said 'its trash', I don't play guitar. But Dekay has live learned the entire album on twitch stream and he helped pick out some cool riffs that I can appreciate. It has some good riffs mixed in there.
Blayne talks about Too Far Gone, but Atlas Rise off of Hardwired was pretty much a NWOBHM type song too. Those early influences have been showing more in both their last 2 albums.
Too Far Gone? Is by far the best track on the album
Sounds even better with AI James 80s voice, and kinda match kill and Ride. It Sounds Very epic. And old school. Also loves lux Aeterna
The yellow album is very similar to the black album, it’s resonate with the white and the red and have many similarities. Overall the yellow are better than the red and white and close to the black. They really mashed together the red , yellow and black to create yellow it’s all make sense.
underrated comment.
Not so similar to Black album.. more Kill' em All x ReLoad x Garage Inc.
@@Adi-megatron its basically mix of every album while overall sounding like garage inc. Shadows follow is so BA. that I SAY NOOO from James towards the end is like from 1991 James.
@@dekapitatorr every album since 1991 has a sound and arragements based on Black album style, it's a ground floor for everything they do since then. Now generally is this album very similar to Black album, not really, of course there are some moments
@@Adi-megatronWhere’s the Kill ‘em All? I don’t hear it. One riff doesn’t count.
I LOVE the energy between these two, haha. Tho, I have to agree with Blayne. I mean...regarding bands with 30+ years of shreddin, Mayhem still kicks ass, for example. And not to mention Megadeth, of course...
yeah age is not a valid excuse. Neither is "not as bad as it could be". What a ringing endorsement for the album.
Apples and oranges. Mayhem is a joke with no original members in a band. Megadeth is also Daves solo project where he is constantly changing band members. you cant compare them to 3 guys who are making music for 40 years .
Megadeth you said the band only plays 1/2 songs live from their new album everytime they released a new album.
OK I can appreciate the fact that Sam has built a business and I'm happy for him but the whole reason a lot of us were so happy about this channel was our love for the metal journey movie and I know he's probably a busy guy but this is one he needs to do himself.
Sam is probably busy reviewing scorched….and rightly so.
Hahaha you guys bantering is hilarious! Great balance between you two though for this review.
I love the whole Album - Reminds ne a lot to doom and Thin lizzy Harmonic parts. NWOBHM was very well welcome on 72 Seasons - Great job!
That intro to 72 Seasons was kind of like metal meets surf - but in a good way!
loving the doubles review here guys. would love to see more of that.
I'm actually digging this album a lot. best metallica release this century.
Nope. That's Death Magnetic
@@pleasuretokillah. I also enjoy this effort the most of the post-Jason era tbh. DM was allover the place, few good songs but also some terrible ones, still with one foot in the St. Anger Nü-tallica approach. The production is god-awful as well. 72S is so much more focussed and well written. I enjoy the fresher Kill/Black/Load-album style vibe instead of chasing after a lesser iteration of AJFA or MoP. But to each his own ofcourse
@@shapeshifter-theamorphousg3264 damn bro. Pass me whatever youre smokin. Cyanide was the only bad song on DM the rest were bangers. No song on 72 is as good as All Nightmare Long, Judas Kiss, My Apocalypse or That Wa Just Your Life. DM is the closest thing to 80s Metallica we will ever get again. 72 Seasons has more boring mid tempo Black Album-ish stuff on it. Comparing DM and St Anger is a hilariously bad take. Its better to compare it to AJFA which it sounds way more like. 72 Seasons is decent for mid tempo playing it safe Metallica. Death Magnetic was the last look we will ever get into faster, 80s style thrash Metallica.
@@pleasuretokill All i know is that i enjoy 72S the most of the last four albums. Shoot me. If i want real thrash i put on an old Slayer/Sepultura/Exodus/Coroner/Kreator/Destruction/Dark Angel/Sodom, hell, even a Testament album. Metallica has always been half-assed thrash to begin with, it's heavy/speed metal just as much-even back in their prime. Too melodic and not fast and agressive enough to ever be full-on thrashmetal. Period. Just like Megadeth.
I like it a lot. Grown on me alot. Too far gone? Room of Mirros, Chasing Light, Inamorata, Shadows Follow and 72 Seasons are great. Tbh I like You Must Burn! and Crown of Barbed Wire too.
I liked the riff midway into shadows follow,you must burn,bargedwire plus the hermonic melodic parts
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.
I really enjoy the record! If you just want some good mid-to-high tempo driving riffs, it's a good time. I totally agree on the length and intros.. but I find when I'm just jamming it.. I often just get lost and bob my head. That's all I want.
perfect reviewing duo!!!! Daniel is such an wholesome and chill dude, genuinely a good guy. and Blayne's such a dick XD, but SO funny and also just genuinely such a nice guy! he's perfect with everybody! (I guess you can say I'm simping hard for the banger crew XD )
True. These 2 are favorite BangerTV hosts by far. Blayne and I rarely like the same shit but he is the king of lols.
Excellent fellas, since I’m closer to their age than yours … I’m WAY more in the Daniel camp but Blaine made me laugh as usual so you both get 4 / 5 skulls for this review 🤘🏽
I also went to the global premier in theaters last week. It was pretty cool.
The dual review was necessary lol
Solid album. Inamorata is the best tune they've done in many years (IMO)
The guitar melodies and harmonies sound like Cliff co-wrote them, and James' riffs, vocals and lyrics are awesome. Kirk's solos are very soulful as well.
Many years? ugghhhh
Best Load song.
having two reviewers with different opinions on the same album is fun to watch! Don't normally say this, but I'm with Blayne on this one
I love this album! Most consistent release since The Black Album, with some really great songs and riffs! Has a great attitude too! 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).
I think Death Magnetic was great and very consistent.
@@nealwexler666 And almost impossible to listen to because of the LOUDNESS problem. Even the much improved Guitar Hero version is loud as shit.
@@nealwexler666 Too bad drumming and arrengement of the songstructures, a common problem with newer Metallica. Bob Rock and themselves ruined all. I still consider 72 seasons the greatest since AJFA.
I agree, i find most of Kirks solos quite enjoyable.
@@ThreszheR Sure they're enjoyable, but lazy for the most part. We all know he can do better if he just puts in the effort. Some of the solos on here are pretty damn good, and you immediately notice that he actually took some time to compose it properly.
The best tallica record since Black album.
LOVED this format with the bois! Sweet to have DeKay temper Blayne on big bands, ha!
You guys describing the unnecessarily long intros reminds me of any post 80's Iron Maiden album; especially the recent ones.
The global premiere was super sick! I had a great time and it was a really fun experience.
Daniel coming in with the major I-buy-everything-twice-backround flex
Do a review for the new Overkill! I love it. New Metallica, no comment 🙄
Sounds like every other Overkill album.
No way! Can't wait to see the cameos in Heavy Metal Hitchhiker
That last song man. One of my favourite songs Metallica has released in a long time.
A nice combo of perspectives on this review, super cool. Daniel's rip, "if your comedy isn't as relevant as George Carlin" was BRUTAL 😂
The intro to Inamorata sounds like Sleep to me. Shoulda kept that vibe going
*_I'll say what I said: I often wondered if what I was hearing was AI or lazy old men playing Hard Rock._*
*_I tricked 22 friends and co-workers(on same group chat/thread), by either claiming a song was AI or have them guess which songs were AI. They were all Metallica's songs, but they all thought at least 1 song was AI._*

Edit for silly spelling mistake. Very silly. But not ha-ha silly.
Question with Metallica album season 72 has it got a ticking sounds through the music(Songs).I not know if is the songs or my copy of the album?
Greate review! Love this album. Really, man, 60 years old guys have to reenvent metal???? Give me a break. They just greate. Love them while they are here, alive and can give us some more cool music.
Has anyone said that Lux Aeterna has a motorheadyish feel to it? I hadn't listened to Too Far Gone yet but it has a bit of Maiden in it and it's a worthy tribute
Totally agree. Lux Aeterna shouldve been the Motorhead tribute song. Not the crappy murder one
Diamond Head more so
I love 72 seasons very much! Have a lot of fun with it!!! And say that kill em all meets load brings it to to point! But the bridge in Inamorata remembers me to the bridge in Orion. 😉
Maybe I had low expectations but I ended up liking this record a lot more than I thought I would. There are great moments on this record. I'd give it a 7/10
So entertaining to hear Bllayne's critique lol
Two things I have experienced with this album that I couldn’t reconcile: trying to consume the whole album and getting bored and distracted with it and then… hearing a song on a radio or watching a video on YT and enjoying it. So somehow Metallica created for me a new category of rock music: YT rock 😊 - but then how many bands can afford to make a good video to every song from their record? / that way “inamorata” that is difficult to digest as the last song when consumed as a video become my favorite song.
YT doesnt give it justice, it sounds way thinner than on CD or digital download. I almost didnt listen to album because I didnt like the sound on singles. huge difference.
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.
@@pixel_glitched I don't understand how the same people who were saying how amazing Luzifer and their terrible take on trad metal were last year can have anything bad to say about Metallica. LOL Thanks for your comments
@@pickle2891 Lol, agreed again! And you’re welcome.
It's a grower for sure. Really like it after 3 listens. There's not a song I feel like I need to skip and I even find some of the mid-tempo songs stuck in my head so I can't complain. Blayne is way too harsh, but I agree they should take more chances, but maybe we don't want to admit this is the music they just want to play.
Agreed - and I also very much enjoy it.
I'll also add that James just said in an interview with Kerrang!: "...As selfish as it sounds... We write this stuff for ourselves. And we're the harshest critics of all. So, it makes sense that it sounds like _us"_
Also, he said: “Just put your heart out there, it can’t be wrong.”
Lastly, Kirk had a good comment too: "We *know* our fans care. We know our fans care _intensely._ And we also know our fans get... stuck in the minutia... (laughs) and in the details... and they can go down the rabbit hole... and that's their stuff. That's not our stuff. Our job is to go out there and make the best music we can, that _accurately_ reflects what our creative musical mindset is... at _that particular_ time."
At the end of the day - they always will have my respect for being authentic - both to themselves, and to us.
I do also think that this _is_ what they want to play. I'm with the guys on some sections often are too long and could be more concise (and the overuse of false intro/outros), but we have to remember: This is a jam band - and they always have been. For years now, they get together at HQ, and most of their writing comes from jam sessions. Even this album had some of that after lockdown opened up. They groove together for hours, enjoy it, and don't want to stop - and it shows in the music - for better or for worse.
I can't fathom telling Metallica they need to take more chances. This is the band that put out Load, Reload, two symphonic live albums, St. Anger, and Lulu for god's sake.
@@jeffreydean7556 _BINGO._
As a fan I agree with Blayne, I want them to take risks, love Metallica! But there were so many things that felt weird, more than anything the lyrics… it’s catchy tho, and with a couple of song I could listen every now and then.
Still great to have them around making music.
I was wondering if/when this was going to happen.
Nice.
6:00 totally agree. It's the only part on the entire album I love.
I enjoyed this album. It was fun, production was great too.
I thought this fucker was way better than i expected it to be. Room of Mirrors being my favorite track by a mile.
I’ll give the album another shot but the first listen did not impress me very much
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'!
Excellent review, I can’t say anything bad about Metallica (apart from Lulu)
Oh boy! Can't wait to watch this one later today 😂😂😂
I’m like Daniel, I’m super bias but I can still see the shortcomings. New album is pretty sick
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.
Metallica also is taking Motorheads space and Lars has fully become the Phil Rudd of Metal you know what to expect and he can do it good.
No one knocks Phil or Malcom in AC/DC when it came to predictability in music lol
Thank you for saying it out loud! Love AC/DC - but holy shit, were they churning out derivativeness almost their entire career... MAN, there's plenty of same-y music in that whole generation. I'm a fan - but a lot of them failed to evolve, or just didn't want to. To each their own.
But hey - at least Metallica has the balls to try. They and Rush have my respect for that.
Funny thing is neither of you were born when Ride the lightning was made.Hands down the best heavy metal bands of all time
My favorite critique people have for stuff is “it would be better if they did it how I want”
My brother and I went to the global premiere. And yes we were both excited as well
Both Blayne and Daniel have good points here. Yes, Metallica wrote the book on thrash metal, and perhaps the extreme metal as a whole, so they have certainly earned the right to do whatever they damn well please. And I agree that they are honestly trying their best at this point to make the best metal they can. But also, we know they have it in them to make so much better metal, rather than just decent metal. Maybe it comes from being in the "pop/rock" areas of media and culture for so long instead of the metal areas they helped cultivate. But I still enjoyed the album for what it is, and I give it a 3. Death Magnetic is still my personal favorite of the new millennium Metallica.
Have you ever considered that maybe they don't give a fuck about "being metal"? Wouldn't you get sick of doing the same thing for 40 years?
I honestly think they don't have it in them anymore.
Why should they feel that they have to live up to some hypothetical standard of "metal-ness" to please a bunch of bitchy weirdos who refuse to listen to anything that isn't straight-up metal?
They are musicians, their whole life has been about music. I am fking tired of people complaining about Metallica, AC DC and all this other fcking huge names, guys in their 60s and 70s who have been around for 40-50 years doing music. They are artist, musicians. If they enjoy making music and love touring what's the problem? Blayne's comment on the money element, that if the music is not good enough why the albums? Perhaps these MUSICIANS enjoy making music like anyone else? Seriously, what's wrong with people?
Exodus where first
You both are great and should do this a bit more often
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.
Well no band has their fame, and no band has their dynamic, and no band released 5 albums b2b2b2b2b that puts them as the greatest prime ever arguably
@@mistersunshine1330 ye and many bands have lived off past glories just by turning up, not on the quality of their recent work.
@@wilsonathleticscoaching And every single band who does that is probably an all time great
Maybe in their own mind. They have made very ordinary music for 30 years. Nothing will change my opinion in that.
When a band gets to the "you can't expect it to actually be good" point it's definitely time to hang it up.
I'm not surprised to hear a Canadian say this however because it explains a lot about Rush being praised long after their sell by date had come and gone.
Metallica is a band wich do music for themselves, this is why they have their own record label. The true fan of the band knows that. I like this album, if isn't their best album, at least is better then a lot of other albuns lauched recently.
Metallica have their own record label because it's a smart business move. Simple as that.
@@A_Final_Hit yes, i agree. But there's more than one reason.
Metallica do music for themselves, yes. But it could be sweet if they also make music for others to listen to.
@@danielsarup7391 Yeah that's not gonna happened you can't please everybody. Musical standard you guys put on Metallica is too high.
I have to say, this is the first record since, Kill, Ride, Puppets, Justice and the Black album the i have truly enjoyed! I think its an awesome album. James vocals performance is the best i have heard in a very long time. I wish Lars could pick up the pace a little more, its very mid tempo. But overall, this album is my summer of 69 (23) album!!!
Death Magnetic
Same hear
I can’t get enough! I’ve been around since along time ago. Best thing in over thirty years, and growing!
all these are bangers to me great classic music
Review the new overkill album Scorched
Thank you for speaking truth ..it's lackluster...I feel bad for Robert Trujillo...
Love the new Metallica album, and I'm not comparing it with any of their previous ones. 🔥🤘
Probably because you can't (St. Anger aside)
@@fredfredericks3496 Aye I can compare but choose not to laddie. And I like Escape too 👀🤘🔥
I don’t have a problem with track length… I love opeth. I think inamorata is a stand out. Lux aeterna is great. I’d actually give the album 3.5 skulls. It beats the last 5 for me
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.
This is a good album I would give it three and half skulls. Speaking of st anger it has some gems like dirty window and sweet amber.
Good comedy indeed and very honest review.
I couldnt hear James's guitar and I wanted it up in the mix so its fucking in the face like James says himself.
Verdict: “it could be SO much worse”! 😂 spot on!
Totally agree with Blayne.
Always hate it when people say they are already old, 60 is not that old. look at bands like dream theater, tool, megadeth.. all musicians of the same age that are still killing it
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.
Came for the banter and stayed for the shout outs
This one grew and grew for me. Love 72 seasons.
Great album! It gets better with every listen! This album grooves! Lots of cool riffs and guitar harmonies! James sounds great, and I love his lyrics!
The same for me great
Same for me. I seem to like it more as I listen to it more.
What’s Sam up to? Also, please more lock horns!!
When is the next metal monthly
I think it’s fun it’s not their best or even close but I enjoyed it. It sounds like the guys are just enjoying themselves making music and I’m okay with that.
try the 8 song formula again!
In the words of Kerry King
"Nice Attempt" lol 😆
now do Repentless lol
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.
14:13 - Overkill says hi.
Blayne yangs about an 11 minute song and loves Bell Witch… 🤣🤣 oh Blayne. Inamorata sounds like them doing COC and Kyuss
Hit us up… love the 200 Stab wounds shirt🤘 please give us a review
I love that album!!!!
At this point I feel like the band is writing songs for the live shows. Easy to play, catchy, fun, and repeatable. I like the album but I think it is safe to say the days of their complex arrangements are long gone. Still the best to do it.
Most of that ended when Cliff passed..
