    This album is underrated, imo I feel like fans were cautious because of St. Anger. It's like you go to a good restaurant and have a bad meal then not sure about going again

    I actually can't believe you don't like the riffs on Suicide & Redemption when you like the riffs on The Judas Kiss. It would probably have been better if it wasn't an instrumental and as long as it, but those riffs are banging.

    I remember Cyanide being the first song I heard off this album back when I was in highschool. Me an my band buddies we're pretty excited to hear a new Kirk solo. I tend to skip it these days but I do like that chorus riff.

    When Hetfield first sings "You've reached the end of the line" and the guitars bloom into that riff is the high point of the album for me.
    Plus this is the only 70+minute album they've done that feels shorter

    their last truly creative album. After that, they became a retro band
    there is so much here that would have never happened on their classic albums. Sure, it's inspired by their early material, but also by current metal, Load and even St. Anger

    A strong return to form, if you ask me. Listening to some remastered versions really does wonders to enjoy this album a lot. I would say RTL is at least -A, while this one is a +B. I'm curious what you would say about next album's Spit Out The Bones.

    • @redwings0142

      The Guitar Hero version and 2016 iTunes remaster both fix a lot of the production issues, especially the compression. The bass is more discernible, the drums are a little less clippy, and the guitars sound like actual guitars instead of angry static noise. It’s a bit less heavy but much more dynamic and easy on the ears. The iTunes version is the version Metallica now officially sells on their website. I don’t know if it’s on other streaming services tho.

    Hey bro, I believe I’ve watched all of your Retrospective Metallica videos now.
    This one is definitely taking words out of my mouth.
    And I’m aware now that Load being your least favorite album and this one here being the one that was current when you were first introduced to Metallica. Load is that album for me. I was 11 when the Black album videos hit MTV. Load came out when I was 14, and that was actually the first album I was grown up mentally enough to actually buy. Load is fun to sing along to, even if any of the lyrics hardly make sense.
    Bleeding Me is my ALL-TIME favorite Metallica song. It was an good album for the young and fresh new Metallica fan self in me.
    Also! Everyone seems to hate Escape form Ride, but that fun ASF to sing to also!!
    Death Magnetic intentionally push the amps to their breaking point on purpose. Maybe Rick Ruben wasn’t a good choice for a producer. St Anger was intentionally grungy and distorted.
    They’re good for their times.
    Hardwired holds great significance for my life. And now 72… Freakin cool.
    I’m Metallica to the CORE.
    I agree with you on a lot.
    I give your Metallica Retrospect Videos a solid B+

    This is my favorite album. Is it perfect? No (well to me it is, but probably not in the grand scheme of things). Is it brickwalled to shit? Yeah, but fuck if I care. I have fun listening to this album every single time I pop the CD in and it gets me through a rough day

    Mad props 👏 bro👊. My take. James really hadn't mad riffed in ages. Rick from what I know dropped mop album and said I want this. It is the best effort in thrash in decades for the band. Kirk's solos have absolutely been horrible since black with minor highlights ugh!! John's lines finally got a spotlight. Lars hasn't been pushed in ages. Overall the album compared to black thru dm was the best. Retrospect is excellent. Looking forward to the scathing and promising reviews.

    I love Death and Beyond Magnetic overall.
    Other than one guitar but, I'd ditch Cyanide, and other than James portion of the solo, I'd ditch the instrumental. With those ditched, we could fit 2, if not 3, of the Beyond Magnetic tunes on here.
    I'd consider swapping end of the Line to get all Beyond Magnetic tunes on this.
    I actually love Un3. But I don't understand why Un2 exists. Reload is my least favorite of theirs, and that's one of the reasons.

    @LuxHM 11 місяців тому +2

    I can understand your opinion of Cyanide, but come on man, UN3 and Suicide are incredible tracks. They need more love. Also you liked 7 out of 10 tracks so you should give it at least a B.

    It’s funny how your least fav songs from it are my favs and your favs are me least favorites 😂. That stretch from The Day that Never Comes to S&D is great (minus that lazy ass main riff from Judas kiss, the chorus should’ve been the main riff as well). And The opener is solid too. Only songs I’m not too hot about is tracks 2,3, and My Apocalypse (The Escape the Fate song by the same name is much better and came out 2 years prior)
