#metallica #reaction #metal The guys sit down and react to the song from Metallica called 72 Seasons! Check out the original video here: • Metallica: 72 Seasons ...
People complaining about this song….. these guys are over 60. This song is amazing in my opinion. Riff kicks ass. Vocals kick ass. Changes, solo, melody section, intro, everything. They have nothing to prove anymore and yet they still whip out new stuff.
I initially was a little down too, but just because of the chorus (cool, but could it have been more?) and a few other little things, but thinking back, fuck... to get there at 60 years old doing metal like that after their career ahaha
The genius of metallica is that no matter what, love em or hate em… everyone listens to em and has something to say about em… Relevance and staying power… They truly don’t give a shit who they make happy with their music. They make it for themselves, and that’s what matters.
I’ve been listening to Metallica since 1985 and there will always be my favorite. Im loving this so far. It may not be their best songs but they still kicking ass after all these years. I barely have the stamina to sit in a chair and bang my head and they’re still being creative and rocking out! Let haters hate but me- I’m dying for the 14th!
This might be my favorite intro they've had in decades. Also, the intro sound from the music video should be included in the actual song track. It makes it way more epic.
@Erika_Itsumi those people are idiots. Why does a song need to be 2 minutes long to be good? I don't care if it's 10 seconds or 10 minutes, good is good.
This song is great, idk what people expect from these guys anymore. The intro alone is the most unique album intro they've done ever if not in a long time as it begins with Bass. A lot of energy, i enjoy listening to it.
That's one of the complaints, they say the intro is too long. "We are 1 minute into the video, most modern songs are over by now" yeah because modern songs suck and are too fucking short.
@@erika_itsumi5141 absolutely true. I'm only 20, but I just can't stand most modern songs by modern bands. Older music, and older bands making newer music, like Metallica (favorite band), is much better than anything else I've heard from modern bands.
All of their new songs are growers to me. First time i heard this I was like "Okay , but formula A Metallica" Now after a few times I love it. Also a title track can be a bit longer than other songs imo, having some things to uncover. My ranking so far: 1. Screaming suicide 2. Lux aetherna 3. 72 seasons 4. If darkness had a son
i recently bought this album and it kick ass such a beautiful variety whether its the sounds and the songs i enjoy listening to it and the fact that these fellas are getting up there and they are the kings of the west coast heavy metal they are in that zone and im sure its selling fast cause this is not an album from a worn out heavy metal band im here ta tell ya ladies & gentlemen
very very veeeeery contradicting comments i heard from you guys ranging from “it’s the best opening song since the black album” to “this is modern metallica” and cliche comments about Lars drumming. I think the song is a masterpiece in every aspect of it. I am actually extremely happy it’s 7 plus minutes long. It is sooo good it can be this long. About Kirk’s solo, name me any guitarist coming up with anything better these days?? I’m sorry but you guys seemed so confused in this reaction with all my respect.
Current Guitarists doing it better than Kirk: Matt Heafy(Trivium) Kiko Loureiro(Megadeth) Midori and Miyako(LOVEBITES) Josh Middleton(Sylosis) Jeff Loomis(Nevemore, Arch Enemy) John Petrucci(Dream Theater) I love Kirk Hammett and his guitar playing is iconic but lets not pretend he is doing anything now that is revolutionary. It is okay to acknowledge someone's accomplishments while at the same time recognizing that they aren't what they used to be.
the riff is clearly lifted from blackened and I am perfectly fine with that. great song, intro is long because it opens the album, it is cool tease into album.
And the irony is 72 season does not feel like 8 minutes, you know a song is truly awesome if it can keep you engaged for 8 minutes straight and it feels like 4 minutes and some seconds.
I dont get it, everyone is saying 72 seasons is the best among the 4 new singles, like how??? To me Lux Eterna is a classical metal song, signature Metallica sound with balanced melody, and "If darkness had a son" pumps my blood from the beginning of the Lars drums rhythm. This 72 seasons is just a good song to me, still this is Metallica! Deep respect for Hetfield, Hammet, Lars and Robert!
It’s weird because the Bass dominates the chorus, even if there is a guitar playin fast with it, all I could hear was Rob to the point I thought he dominated the mix… BEATS BY DRE BABY! Hahaha
Update after listening to this song a bit more 1. If darkness had a son 2. 72 Seasons 3. Screaming Suicide 4. Lux I will need to listen to it more and see if it’s better.
People who are complaining about this song or about Metallica's latest songs are just jealous and envie Metallica that they are still the best metal band of all time. James voice is awesome and nobody in the metal scene can reach to James level. Only Rob Halford can have the honour to get named in the same level like James. And all the other wannabe Metal Bands like Mercyful fate, Megadeath, Lamb of God or whowever they are, they will always stand in shadow of Metallica.
Very good song… I just regret that Kirk still hasn’t created any surprise! I mean his solos don’t bring any added value to the songs!…need something more Metallica (I’m ok with the blues touch but we are listening to Metallica and expecting a Metallica solo).
The song would be awesome if it was cut a bit, but lately Metallica is like Maiden, interesting to a point then draggy at the end, but lately it has been their style to make long same repetitive rhythm songs, still Kills but would be nicer if the songs would be short and sweet. Take the other songs that have come out, not long but catchy.
I agree, Metallica and Maiden both lost the ability to edit their own music. It's like they feel just because they wrote it they have to use it. I love long songs, but longs songs are better, and less fatiguing when you have a few short bangers along with them.
Even though it’s only been 4 songs, I have a feeling HARDWIRED is going to wind up being a bit better, the songs were polished and the mix was really good after waiting a very long time for a good sounding METALLICA album… that being said, I have to hear all of this album before I know! And, THIS IS A GREAT SONG! LUX is awesome, no denying, and this song is AWESOME! SS is great, Darkness is good… we’ll see how the album plays! I am SUPER JAZZED to hear all of it. I just listen to Hardwired as it hit the radio… dude… that song and album were SO GOOD! People went fucking crazy! Anyone remember that feeling when HARDWIRED came out?
I don't like any of the new songs as much as I the songs I really liked off of Hardwired. The problem with Hardwired for me is that I really liked 1/2 of Hardwired a lot, but the other 1/2 I was completely "meh" about. It's why I haven't gone back to Hardwired since a few months after it came. If I'm in the mood for Metallica I'd still rather listen to their old stuff. Once in a while I pop on Death Magnetic, even though I don't like the production, I found it to be a more cohesive record than Hardwired.
@@Gregbaltzer I fee HARDWIRED has more depth and feeling in the songs! Meaning… DM is GREAT, but it’s an album about DEATH’. Hetfields best work is his personal! It always will be! Hardwired is very personal in so many songs, and dude I feel you.. but that Bside is excellent! EXCELLENT! No it’s not classic, they were 40 years in! Can’t recapture old flames, just push through and shape their craft! HW may very well be in history the best effort of METALLICA post Black album, which is clearly subjective, I just really really feel by living through that release and the anticipation… the small venue shows they did during the release pre release, ALL OF IT… it was so special man! HW was much more than just the music, it healed a common music fan! And it did it world wide. METALLICA were prominent in displaying their appreciation for everyone’s reaction, James relapsed over it… it was HUGE! That album is so much more … thank you for hearing me, and for your comment
Its not the worse IMO but I feel like everything sounds the same with them... Same riffs, same drumpatterns...its some cool mainstream heavy rock/thrash but all the songs just sound too similar...this song could have been on Hardwired easily...I just wish theyd try something new...all their albums have been different up untill and including st.anger and even tho some of them suck atleast they tried new things...after st.anger its been pretty much the same formula on every release... I dont think anyone expects anything else than mainstream music from metallica but that dont mean they cant get a bit more creative than this😅 I actually think Death Magnetic and Hardwired r their best albums since '88. Black album had a huge impact on me shen I was a kid and started playing guitar but now when I can listen to thede albums back to back I think the black album is very slow and boring and flat...most of the black album songs work much much better live IMO
A little Load/Reload peppered with Death Magnetic, salted with Hardwired, the good stuff - so a mix n match modern Metallica - formulaic too a certain extent but I did love the song out of the four. IT did KICK ass. Like Spit out the Bone ... just hammer blows. Hopefully the rest of the album has legs and can kick down the door, as Hardwired had like four badass songs and meh the rest. Lars always pisses me off, so fucking lame ass. That's my view. First listened to Metallica 1984. So yeah.
It just a good song but not really great!composition wise ok but not amazing..I think Metallica are locked in that same formula(bubble) at the moment since Death Magnetic till now!...we want better compositions not just speed!..more heavy!... perhaps the should try concept albums ..I don't really know? ... But I'm not really blown away sorry!..like I said I would be more blown away if they compose something amazing like what they have done in the past!........The elements that would be mention or questioned would be Lars's drumming ? and Kirk solos?.....and their songs Chorus?...this ain't a masterpiece and everybody knows that! ..but is it good enough for my music collection?..YES!
Good not great song. James: great voice, nice riffs, but not very good lyrics. Rob: cool intro, solid bass. Kirk: good solo, fits the song. Lars: uninspired, laid back drumming with ZERO drum fills, lazy Lars. So far for me: Lux Æterna: 7 Screaming Suicide: 7 If darkness had a son: 7 72 Seasons: 7.5. Lets hope the rest of the songs are better. Modern Metallica: Death Magnetic>>Hardwired>72 Seasons ( so far).
Metallica is suffering from the edit since and justice. If every album had 8 or 9 songs they’d be amazing albums and each song can be a 1/4 shorter. They have greatness in them, but they’re bloating everything.
These 4 jokers have to be deaf 🙈🙉🙊😖😵. There's no damn way this song is the Best Track of the 4 . "If Darkness Had A Son" is Clearly the Best song so far ,🔥💥🤙🤘🤗🤑🙃🤔, especially the Solo . The other 3 Songs are Good , but the Solos are just Amateur hour . This Solo on this song sounded like a Weak Dave Untamed Mustang Solo really . Bob Rock was justified forcing Kirk to work Harder / Smarter on the Unforgiven One Solo and it payed off. Kirk doesn't have anybody in Studio obviously to challenge him that way , and it's shown through on the last 6 Metallica Albums now . At this point I would rather hear a Solo James has to offer in these , and past Metallica Songs .
100% right. This new song is by far the worst from the new singles. IMO the worst song since 1991. And "If Darkness Had A Son" the best with a little changes could have been on And justice... But they are just playing it safe... Look we still play metal but very simple trying not to scare or challenge anyone
Long Plodding Same Generic Sounding Metallica that we have today...I'm not gonna compare them to Metallica of Old...this is their sound that they choose , so be it
Why nobody Is talking about the guitar mixes suggests nobody plays ... awful ..overproduction.. nothing to identify them as Metallica at all .. great song otherwise
I was a Metallica fan but not a fanatic, this album is the most boring thing I heard in my life, for a little taste you have wait minutes and minutes and minutes... At least they tried to do something new even in St. Anger album. Thank you Metallica for the great music until 1990. If the name was different I am sure the comments would be more realistic. The real comment is not listen to music for free and say it is great. My generation paid for the albums and I bought every shit written on it Metallica. How much it is paid is the real comment. The real Metallica died years ago.
Love Metallica, my first 2 bands ever are Metallica and Megadeth. While Suicide and Darkness had something to grip on, good songs with some not so ok stuff but also with some great stuff in them... This new song IMO it's one of the worst songs from Metallica since 1991. Generic, flat, simple, boring. etc. Megadeth copied themselves on the last album but made it in such a refreshing way, so much skill and complexity, but this, this is just pain. Sorry...
Metallica fanboys unite, drop to your knees and repeat in unison. "Oh hail Metallica"... NOT. '72 Seasons' isn't the worse song but its not very... original sounding. Play fast, play slow, a heavy pre-chorus, repeat... Two and half minutes too long. Agreed, Kirk's best solo so far, though half of it James apparently wrote. Speaking of James, love his lyrics. "One Fish, Two Fish, Red Fish, Blue Fish..." Oh sorry wrong lyrist. Really James, can you write a song where every other word doesn't rhymes? I am looking forward to listening to the rest of the album. Maybe something will grab me by the short hairs, but so far, another Metallica album I won't be buying.
@@joshbrewer4309 Just finished listening to the eight songs I hadn't heard... My over all thoughts are the same as I wrote above. I will not be buying this album. Good thing about "72 Season"? Yes there are some. James' vocals were great on all but one song, 'Chasing Light'. I did not like his approach to this song. Best song, imho, is 'Room of Mirrors', though that change up in the main riff needed to be left on the cutting room floor. It nearly "F'd" up the whole song. I also liked Kirk's solo here. As for the other songs, 'Shadows Follow'... more rhyming like '72 Seasons'. Riffs yawn, pre-chorus sounded familiar, solo sounded like a reject off the Black album. 'Sleepwalk My Life Away' had a nice bass intro but once the guitars came in it sounded too much like 'Enter Sandman'. The first half of the solo just repeated. The second part sounded off tempo. The third part just repeated like the first part... boring. 'You Must Burn' had a 'Sad But True' feel to it (no pun intended). There was a better riff which had a Black Sabbath vibe which I liked. Solo another mix hat, like Kirk dropped ten solo lick options in a hat and drew a five out to play. 'Crown of Barbed Wire'... Sounded like a reject off Load. A reedit of the music and new lyrics and it might be better. 'Chasing Light' had a good solo, but James' vocals ruined the rest for me. 'Too Far Gone' More of the same. This is the second shortest song at 4:34. Felt like 6 minutes plus... 'Room of Mirrors' best song on album... Good solo. Liked the doubling of guitars after the solo. Finally, 'Inamorata'. 6 Minutes too long. This song should have been an instrumental with all the singing cut out. It would have been better. Over all take on "72 Seasons", the album is 1 hour 17 plus minutes long. Cut seventeen minutes, rework a few songs, I would buy it. This... sorry, it's just not worth it. If this had been Metallica's debut album, they would be a footnote in history, no more.
When anyone references the black album, their opinion goes down a couple notches for me! LOL sorry...black album is a good album BUT their worst album in my opinion.
@@joshbrewer4309The Black Album is worse than St. Anger?😂😂😂 At least on that album Bob Rock made Kirk work on his solos because those days are clearly behind him.
@@MegaBadseed listen to the riffs before the solo and chorus in spit out the bone quiz kid. It's the same e, f, f# progression and phrasing. The pre chorus in 72 is just a lazy mixture of that and the chorus is pretty much after their first solo in spit as well. Use your ears and stop being a fanboy. Plus the fast part is just hard wired. Sorry my man they ripped themselves off from the last album to the other that is just lazy. This is far too similar to anything on hardwired to be considered anything other than rehash. The other three songs are way better because even though they're in the same Spirit of some of their other songs they're not complete plagiarism like 72 seasons is. You might as well call the song spit out the hardwired moth. That's why Megadeth will always be better. Because when Dave steals from himself the song sounds much different. A good case is hangar 18 to dystopia, similar chords and structure but both songs have completely different identities Metallica can't come close to that.
@@jhamilton1007 why is " I'd like to see you do better at 60" always the answer? Look doing lazy bullshit is doing lazy bullshit, no matter how young or old you are. Bottom line.
I'm 59 and Metallica stopped being Metallica after "and justice for all " album.cant be forgiven for all the shit albums last 20 years....give me lamb of god anyday.
People complaining about this song….. these guys are over 60. This song is amazing in my opinion. Riff kicks ass. Vocals kick ass. Changes, solo, melody section, intro, everything. They have nothing to prove anymore and yet they still whip out new stuff.

They aren’t even 60… other than Kirk just turned 60. The others are 59
Lame, simple, boring, generic song.
The genius of metallica is that no matter what, love em or hate em… everyone listens to em and has something to say about em…
Relevance and staying power…
They truly don’t give a shit who they make happy with their music. They make it for themselves, and that’s what matters.
I wish happy years in their warm shit.
I’ve been listening to Metallica since 1985 and there will always be my favorite. Im loving this so far. It may not be their best songs but they still kicking ass after all these years. I barely have the stamina to sit in a chair and bang my head and they’re still being creative and rocking out! Let haters hate but me- I’m dying for the 14th!
This might be my favorite intro they've had in decades. Also, the intro sound from the music video should be included in the actual song track. It makes it way more epic.
I was thinking the same, that fade in gives the song a darker vibe
There are people that say that intro is far too long, and that most modern songs are over by now.
@Erika_Itsumi those people are idiots. Why does a song need to be 2 minutes long to be good? I don't care if it's 10 seconds or 10 minutes, good is good.

Love it ... and also the other three releases
Love the sleigh bells throughout the song.
This song is a gift from Metallica - to the world

I am a huge Metallica fan and I love it..I think I have whiplash I jammed out so hard my neck is sore 🤘
1:29 you know you are a metalhead when you try to volume up your headset but it already reached the limit 😂
I hate when I realized it doesn’t go over bruh
Loved the video guys! 🤘😎
🖖🖖
My favorite song released on this album so far. The best of the first 4.
How does it rank now with the rest of the album?
Love watching reactions with people that really love good music!!!! Keep Rockin', guys!!!! #metallica #72seasons #deckermusic6 was here!!!! ❤️🤘
🖖🖖
Would have been crazy if the song came in at 7:20 😂
“No mercy from the ghost within” that’s deep
METALLICA RULES!
I really dig this tune. About as good as it gets for modern Metallica era, imo.
All of their new songs are growers to me. First time i heard this I was like "Okay , but formula A Metallica"
Now after a few times I love it. Also a title track can be a bit longer than other songs imo, having some things to uncover.
My ranking so far:
1. Screaming suicide
2. Lux aetherna
3. 72 seasons
4. If darkness had a son
Darkness has to be higher. Such a cool song
This song is 🔥

duuuude, listen to Revocation solos
Kiko from megadeth is doing better solos
Current Guitarists doing it better than Kirk:
Matt Heafy(Trivium)
Kiko Loureiro(Megadeth)
Midori and Miyako(LOVEBITES)
Josh Middleton(Sylosis)
Jeff Loomis(Nevemore, Arch Enemy)
John Petrucci(Dream Theater)
I love Kirk Hammett and his guitar playing is iconic but lets not pretend he is doing anything now that is revolutionary. It is okay to acknowledge someone's accomplishments while at the same time recognizing that they aren't what they used to be.
@@metalheadsjourney all the guitarists you mentioned aren’t doing anything revolutionary either and many of them are not what they used to be 🤷🏽♂️
James’ voice hasn’t aged since hardwired
So good
the riff is clearly lifted from blackened and I am perfectly fine with that. great song, intro is long because it opens the album, it is cool tease into album.
🖖🖖
The opener on Death Magnetic was amazing.
Agreed, Death Magnetic is a bit under rated to me, the production issues often overshadow the quality of the record.
Many great songs in deed. Many great riffs. I was quite surprised when I first listened to it.
LETS GOOOO
800th like! St. Anger level ❤
1 Screaming Suicide
2 If Darkness Had A Son
72 Seasons
Lux Eterna
Metallica Forever!!! 🤘
🖖🖖🖖
No complaints about Lack of Bass on this track
I read an article from some magazine, they said there's no ballads on the album, chosed Inamorata as best song on the album and rating album 8/10
Yea I saw that yesterday as well, pretty excited for the record, this song in particular gives me more hope than the previous 3 did.
@@metalheadsjourney Yeah, the best so far
This is rad.
Most songs by any metal band of any era feel boring after 4 minutes or so... NOT THE CASE with Metallica! Love this tittle track!
And the irony is 72 season does not feel like 8 minutes, you know a song is truly awesome if it can keep you engaged for 8 minutes straight and it feels like 4 minutes and some seconds.
Agreed. I'd add Megadeth to that. Their long songs are, for the most part, f*n great in their entirety.
You guys need to check out Fit For A King..

Seriously guys, you can hear the base in the whole song lol
If it ended after the solo would’ve been much better
Update after listening to this song a bit more
1. If darkness had a son
2. 72 Seasons
3. Screaming Suicide
4. Lux
I will need to listen to it more and see if it’s better.

Lars always pisses me off, so fucking lame ass. That's my view. First listened to Metallica 1984. So yeah.
🖖🖖
Gonna say now it's the same shit hey. Nothing new.
It just a good song but not really great!composition wise ok but not amazing..I think Metallica are locked in that same formula(bubble) at the moment since Death Magnetic till now!...we want better compositions not just speed!..more heavy!... perhaps the should try concept albums ..I don't really know? ... But I'm not really blown away sorry!..like I said I would be more blown away if they compose something amazing like what they have done in the past!........The elements that would be mention or questioned would be Lars's drumming ? and Kirk solos?.....and their songs Chorus?...this ain't a masterpiece and everybody knows that! ..but is it good enough for my music collection?..YES!
Good not great song.
James: great voice, nice riffs, but not very good lyrics.
Rob: cool intro, solid bass.
Kirk: good solo, fits the song.
Lars: uninspired, laid back drumming with ZERO drum fills, lazy Lars.
So far for me:
Lux Æterna: 7
Screaming Suicide: 7
If darkness had a son: 7
72 Seasons: 7.5.
Lets hope the rest of the songs are better.
Modern Metallica:
Death Magnetic>>Hardwired>72 Seasons ( so far).
Metallica is suffering from the edit since and justice. If every album had 8 or 9 songs they’d be amazing albums and each song can be a 1/4 shorter. They have greatness in them, but they’re bloating everything.
anotther black album old man rock tune. their thrash days are gone
These 4 jokers have to be deaf 🙈🙉🙊😖😵. There's no damn way this song is the Best Track of the 4 . "If Darkness Had A Son" is Clearly the Best song so far ,🔥💥🤙🤘🤗🤑🙃🤔, especially the Solo . The other 3 Songs are Good , but the Solos are just Amateur hour . This Solo on this song sounded like a Weak Dave Untamed Mustang Solo really . Bob Rock was justified forcing Kirk to work Harder / Smarter on the Unforgiven One Solo and it payed off. Kirk doesn't have anybody in Studio obviously to challenge him that way , and it's shown through on the last 6 Metallica Albums now . At this point I would rather hear a Solo James has to offer in these , and past Metallica Songs .
No way you are saying if darkness had a son solo was the best. that song is the definition of uninspired
@@RodolfoGarcia-gu5rd This New Metallica Album will Crush ALOT of that Crap Metal that's been out there for years now
fuck off rock dad, I can name you albums that kick ass and are recent, stuck in the past is what you are
100% right. This new song is by far the worst from the new singles. IMO the worst song since 1991. And "If Darkness Had A Son" the best with a little changes could have been on And justice... But they are just playing it safe... Look we still play metal but very simple trying not to scare or challenge anyone
Long Plodding Same Generic Sounding Metallica that we have today...I'm not gonna compare them to Metallica of Old...this is their sound that they choose , so be it
Who cares if they're over 60? Every other thrash band from their era is releasing better records. Even low level bands.
Different strokes
im bored with a7x new song. but not this one
(Top left) out play Lars or shut up ~ (bottom right) don't take cheap shots at musicians who've literally change the world then tuck tail ~ PUNK
I know liking something while also being able to criticize it is difficult but maybe one day you will get there, I have faith in you!
I believe too left guy could out play Lars…..with lessons.
พวกเขาอายุ 60 ปี
แต่มันไม่สำคัญ ขอแค่เพลงสนุกก็พอ
ฉันไม่อยากคาดหวังใหัเล่นได้เหมือนสมัยที่พวกเค้ายังเป็นคนหนุ่ม
แค่อย่าให้รู้สึกว่าหมดสภาพ อายุมากเกินไป จนเล่นไม่ได้ก็พอ
reaction and discussion... 4 nodding heads? maybe i'm getting too old for this youtube shit
I’m guessing you didn’t stay for discussion 🤷♂️
@@metalheadsjourneytreating us like Sophie’s Choice…smh
Why nobody Is talking about the guitar mixes suggests nobody plays ... awful ..overproduction.. nothing to identify them as Metallica at all .. great song otherwise
Metallica could release an album of farts and these guys would adore it.
That’s accurate. Not sorry
I'm so sick of Metallikarens.
Kirk still sounds so uninspired for solos. They just sound thrown out.
Indeed. He's just going through the pentatonic and blues scales motions. It's as if he was hired as a session player for a day.
Lol no, they match the song superbly. All of them.
@@MegaBadseed no, just no. Kirk is being so lazy
@@PETRAS_ lol no, he simply cannot be lazy to play any of these songs. Never has been.
Kirk is lost without his wah pedal!!
I was a Metallica fan but not a fanatic, this album is the most boring thing I heard in my life, for a little taste you have wait minutes and minutes and minutes... At least they tried to do something new even in St. Anger album. Thank you Metallica for the great music until 1990. If the name was different I am sure the comments would be more realistic. The real comment is not listen to music for free and say it is great. My generation paid for the albums and I bought every shit written on it Metallica. How much it is paid is the real comment. The real Metallica died years ago.
Love Metallica, my first 2 bands ever are Metallica and Megadeth. While Suicide and Darkness had something to grip on, good songs with some not so ok stuff but also with some great stuff in them... This new song IMO it's one of the worst songs from Metallica since 1991. Generic, flat, simple, boring. etc. Megadeth copied themselves on the last album but made it in such a refreshing way, so much skill and complexity, but this, this is just pain. Sorry...
This is a recycled song, honestly.
Metallica fanboys unite, drop to your knees and repeat in unison. "Oh hail Metallica"... NOT. '72 Seasons' isn't the worse song but its not very... original sounding. Play fast, play slow, a heavy pre-chorus, repeat... Two and half minutes too long. Agreed, Kirk's best solo so far, though half of it James apparently wrote. Speaking of James, love his lyrics. "One Fish, Two Fish, Red Fish, Blue Fish..." Oh sorry wrong lyrist. Really James, can you write a song where every other word doesn't rhymes? I am looking forward to listening to the rest of the album. Maybe something will grab me by the short hairs, but so far, another Metallica album I won't be buying.
Anything grab those hairs on the new album yet?
@@joshbrewer4309 Just finished listening to the eight songs I hadn't heard... My over all thoughts are the same as I wrote above. I will not be buying this album. Good thing about "72 Season"? Yes there are some. James' vocals were great on all but one song, 'Chasing Light'. I did not like his approach to this song. Best song, imho, is 'Room of Mirrors', though that change up in the main riff needed to be left on the cutting room floor. It nearly "F'd" up the whole song. I also liked Kirk's solo here. As for the other songs, 'Shadows Follow'... more rhyming like '72 Seasons'. Riffs yawn, pre-chorus sounded familiar, solo sounded like a reject off the Black album. 'Sleepwalk My Life Away' had a nice bass intro but once the guitars came in it sounded too much like 'Enter Sandman'. The first half of the solo just repeated. The second part sounded off tempo. The third part just repeated like the first part... boring. 'You Must Burn' had a 'Sad But True' feel to it (no pun intended). There was a better riff which had a Black Sabbath vibe which I liked. Solo another mix hat, like Kirk dropped ten solo lick options in a hat and drew a five out to play. 'Crown of Barbed Wire'... Sounded like a reject off Load. A reedit of the music and new lyrics and it might be better. 'Chasing Light' had a good solo, but James' vocals ruined the rest for me. 'Too Far Gone' More of the same. This is the second shortest song at 4:34. Felt like 6 minutes plus... 'Room of Mirrors' best song on album... Good solo. Liked the doubling of guitars after the solo. Finally, 'Inamorata'. 6 Minutes too long. This song should have been an instrumental with all the singing cut out. It would have been better. Over all take on "72 Seasons", the album is 1 hour 17 plus minutes long. Cut seventeen minutes, rework a few songs, I would buy it. This... sorry, it's just not worth it. If this had been Metallica's debut album, they would be a footnote in history, no more.
When anyone references the black album, their opinion goes down a couple notches for me! LOL sorry...black album is a good album BUT their worst album in my opinion.
Feel how you want about it. Reference was only that this was the best opening song on an album since then. 🖖
Have you not heard St Anger?
@@joshbrewer4309The Black Album is worse than St. Anger?😂😂😂 At least on that album Bob Rock made Kirk work on his solos because those days are clearly behind him.
@@nedrini1055 I love st anger! You see...I'm a real metal head...I like angry aggressive music, not radio friendly pop rock!
Spit out the bone sequel. Rehashing riffs from the last album is LAZY
Absolutely nothing like Bone
@@MegaBadseed listen to the riffs before the solo and chorus in spit out the bone quiz kid. It's the same e, f, f# progression and phrasing.
The pre chorus in 72 is just a lazy mixture of that and the chorus is pretty much after their first solo in spit as well. Use your ears and stop being a fanboy.
Plus the fast part is just hard wired. Sorry my man they ripped themselves off from the last album to the other that is just lazy.
This is far too similar to anything on hardwired to be considered anything other than rehash.
The other three songs are way better because even though they're in the same Spirit of some of their other songs they're not complete plagiarism like 72 seasons is.
You might as well call the song spit out the hardwired moth.
That's why Megadeth will always be better. Because when Dave steals from himself the song sounds much different. A good case is hangar 18 to dystopia, similar chords and structure but both songs have completely different identities Metallica can't come close to that.
More like All Nightmare Long mixed with Confusion. Also, i'd like to here you do better now, nevermind at 60+ years old
@@jhamilton1007 why is " I'd like to see you do better at 60" always the answer?
Look doing lazy bullshit is doing lazy bullshit, no matter how young or old you are. Bottom line.
I'm 59 and Metallica stopped being Metallica after "and justice for all " album.cant be forgiven for all the shit albums last 20 years....give me lamb of god anyday.
Cool story, bro.
No one cares go away
yet you are still listening, yet you are still come ting yet you are still enjoying this. STFU
this sucks period sorry guys
Nope
It's a mediocre song from,once great Metallica....but it's ok,for what Metallica does now...nothing to be hyped about...
its not 1987 anymore. the world has moved on, you haven't. they aren't going to make the same shit for 50 years.
@@spectac1 I am gonna use your lines everytime I see an idiotic comment like the one above. Thanks buddy hahah!
If they made the same music they would be like the rest of the thrash bands no where 😊
without them metal no bigger back then. nothing to proves..
A rip off of the previous album, which was a rip off of previous albums.
😂 Your not a real Metallica fan beat it🙄
