Metallica - where to start?

[hash tag]

3/10, monotonous and monotone. I wasn't sure if I was listening to track 2 or track 10.
There could be a track on there that they could drop into a set of oldies and it would be a bit of a headbanger but thats about it.

Having been out for a while now I can say my opinion hasn’t changed much. Couple of almost very good tracks and the rest just runs into each in the most uninteresting way.

I thought Hardwired was pretty average (DM was pretty damn good and the best they’ve done since Load) but this makes that look very good indeed!

Am I the only one who thinks Leper Messiah is a very shit song?

Nope but not one that works live to my mind, the pace isn’t quite right for that experience…

 

[Virtual Blue]

I'm gonna have a blast of Call of Ktulu - it must be over 20 years since I last listened to it...

 

[Virtual Blue]

Danm...Call of Ktulu is a forgotten classic.

That track got me searching for this -




Can hear the influences. Real good music.

Yeah I managed about 5 minutes before I started skipping through the album to see if there was anything of interest. Unsurprisingly, there wasn't.

Nevertheless, I was on a train and needed something to listen so I decided to listen to the fan-produced remaster of Justice for all ('And Justice for Jason') with the actual bass guitar turned up to the levels they should've been. It sounds a million times better that anything they've done since the Black Album, and way better than the original.

This is very good and at the same time a little sad…what could have been. Does it exist as an mp3?

I’m sure it does, or fairly easy to rip as an mp3 off YouTube anyway.

Indeed, what could’ve been. I believe it was Lars being a cock which was behind the original bass-less album.

If I stick Metallica on it tends to be Kill Em All or Master of Puppets (track) or Creeping Death or Am I Evil.

That’s my recollection; he did the arrangement for the mix. His drumming on it - whole technically impressive - sound awful in the mix, just so lacking like it was recorded in a tiny tin can…

Seek in your Soul & ye shall find!
ETA- I wanted it & had a little look there. Numerous versions available.

Two of those are Megadeth.

 

[SpookyFrank]

I see their last album was called 'Hardwired...to Self-Destruct'

Yes, including the ellipsis. I do love how fucking ridiculous they are and how straight they play their schtick.

That is the point you realize that James Hetfield’s dog probably deserved it.

Previous album. Last was 72 seasons. A little better than hardwired.

I have just justed listening to Blackened! I know, the same song 10x over by 10 different bands x4, its crazy if not an interesting exercise.
This is a band someone recommended on a drunken night out ( Mongolian throat singers ). Brilliant
