      Well dude you all are actually entertaining and it surprised me I didn't mind the vid length. Metallica lost me on buying blind after the Black album but they have had good stuff since just not a whole album so I wonder how I will feel about this. I hope its not bloated with filler tracks like Hardwired did. That album would have been great with just 8 tracks. That guy is right Death Magnetic came off forced and they sound like they rushed the writing. So I really don't know what to expect. Cliff was a major influence on their older stuff and James used to write all the lyrics the quality of their songs has dropped since the others have more input. And Darkness was better live when they cut that fucking long ass beginning, its as annoying as Am I evil, even though both was good songs! DO KILL 'EM ALL!!!!! People do need to stop crying they will never again be raw like they was as pissed off teenagers and early 20s guys with Cliff and his influence and enjoy their evolution!

    36:08 you fellas must not be drummers or aware of how the instrument is played. But I can assure you the “going away” of the hi-hats when the bass drum accent occurs is not an “edit” lol. What’s happening is Lars’ right hand is traveling to the crash cymbals. The bass drum strikes have no hi-hat, it’s a crash cymbal which is a different frequency. Hope this helps. 👍

Chasing light is good, room of mirrors is good and has a dyer's eve type of vibe. And "crown of barbed wire" chorus is so bad ass. I do haven't digested the last few songs on the record but so far I like this album a lot. The vocal melodies and guitar riffs are awesome on this record.

      Similar experience. Felt like a flatline chug most of the time, with some nuggets every now and then that felt immediately wasted. Frustrating listen, but there was something intriguing enough about it that I kept giving it another go and another. Inamorata definitely hit me the strongest, and overall I ended up appreciating the whole album for what it is, and not dismissing it for what I wished it was. Definitely redemption after Hardwired...

      ​@@PatrickMusilek James used a Hot-Rodded Marshall Head that Eddie Van Halen gave to him as gift. James wanted to use this Marshall Head on "Hardwired" but the amp wasn't working properly. They were able to get the legendary Jim Soldono to fix the head before making "72 Seasons" so that's the guitar tone your mindless ears are stepping on. Listening to you guys talk about instruments shows your ignorance of tones and sounds. And the whole band has agreed to write songs that they can play until they are 70 and maybe older, because they aren't a band that's gonna stop anytime soon. And why is Rudolph's father a human, holy red nose bro. Songs with strings, they all have strings, you should say acoustic guitar or classical instruments, because those literally are more straightforward.

    So, first of all very nice video! Got kinda addicted and already saw your AJFA and Black Album videos. Love this concept. Second of all, please, pretty please, when you will encounter Death Magnetic, listen to (at least) the iTunes (not so) remastered verison. It does not have the clipping that the original does and you can finally hear the instruments correctly. It is still a bit compressed, but man, its an improvement. So, again I beg you. Listen to that verison instead!
    Looking forward to it!

    The other guy at the end of Inamorata was James talking to Greg Fidelman, i believe he started producing for them on Death Magnetic, so if you react to that album and Hardwired, its all him.
    I also believe, looking at Black album behind the scenes footage of them making the album, they have a sound engineer they have used since then as well. Dont know his name.

      Pretty sure Death was Rick Rubin. But if greg was involved he did all the heavy lifting. Although I think Death is my favorite album since Justice. If you count the Garage then that's my favorite by far since justice.

    Too Far Gone?, Room of Mirrors and Inmorata have great harmonies that I really enjoy that let me keep wanting to revisit those songs. I really wish this album had more harmonies like that. If I was the producer I’d have pushed this album in the direction. Like come on lads, this is the great shite that like a great rug really ties the room together.
    I feel like they Metallica misinterpreted why people didn’t like LuLu. I’m upset we don’t get some of the style guitars, ballad sound from the song Jr Dad. I want to like Jr. Dad but then Lou who just sounds tone deaf talking over Metallica I want to hear. I also wish there was a Instrumental on the album. I love hearing classical metallica guitars then mixing with heavy metal guitars. Love to see them go back to those elements again.
    You Must Burn! Has a nice slow groove. Lux is a nice fun fast song. But overall the first listen through, I have to just accept that Metallica moves in their own direction. Right now I want the direction Tool moved into. Trippy metal. When you listen to Orion from 1986 before Tool existed. Tool as a band especially with FI have gone great metal that in an alternate reality Metallica did more in that space. More music like Orion. Taking us on a visual journey. My hopes. As an adult, Tool hasn’t let me down with their new albums. Metallica new albums I find a couple of songs I can love. Examples…. I love The Day That Never Comes & Spit Out The Bone. To me those two songs are as good as any song off the early albums. I truly love them on that level. I don’t know if I can say that with any song on here yet. But I do love those harmonies on the last 3 songs of 72 seasons.

      @PatrickMusilek  Рік тому +2

    They've technically made a "Making of" documentary since the black album. There was "A Year and a Half in the Life of Metallica" for the Black Album. There were various "Fan Can" videos for Load and Reload. Then of course there's Some kind of monster for St. Anger. Finally, Death Magnetic and Hardwired both had videos released of them making every song that you can watch on UA-cam.

    I'm guessing someone else posted this already, but the "awkward" Crown of Barbed Wire riff is a Kirk riff rather than James who writes most of their riffs). Actually, I believe Metallica posted the sound check video where Kirk came up with the riff a few years ago and James started playing along with him. Kirk also wrote the main riff for 72 Seasons, in case you care
    Also, Rob does backing vocals in a few spots for once, including the LEAN ON ME in the chorus of Chasing Light

      The incessant splashy hi hat got really old and I feel the album is too bassy and muddy, but still better than HW.
      Some EQ, more bite I’m the guitars, and don’t play the hi hat for 80 minutes straight and it’s a damn solid album.

I think it's the metallica fan in me that always wants more, but always forget that they are in 2023 just like me, and time flies, and I dont know where I am in time, I forget very often that they aren't the guys who I felt in love in justice, but they are still a great band, and they are still honest, and that is a key to analysing music. If the musicians are honest, their music has to evolve just like them, evolve not in the way you want, just the way it is. You're no longer in your 20's, so you your music should sound like in your 20's, wouldn't that be trying to imitate your own young self?

    So many interesting ideas in this album. Love the vocal experimentations, especially. But as always with modern Metallica, everything needs to be %30 shorter. They desperately need a real producer that can say no to them, but that's not gonna happen since they seem to value the comfort and control that comes with an in-house yes-man engineer like Fidelman more. All in all a very enjoyable but "just OK" album. Inamorata is an instant classic though. Best song since The Outlaw Torn.
