quote:It is a good album. I always say you have to listen to it as if it were a debut from some other band. If you listen to it like that, and not listening "for Metallica" it's pretty damn good. But when you're thinking Puppets, and Justice, and Lighting and the like...yeah....it doesn't come close. Few albums ever have or will. At this point they are who they are. A shell of what they were with Cliff.
I must be in the minority but I liked Death Magnetic. Think it was a solid album. Metallica hardly plays anything from that album.

Death Magnetic marked the moment Metallica actually "sold-out," as they stopped making the music they wanted to make and bowed to what the fans were asking for.
They've been a nostalgia act ever since, something Hetfield and Ulrich pooh-poohed extensively in the press during the Load era.
My exact view. Hetfield and Ulrich pretending to get back into "thrash" while being worth a few hundred million dollars a piece was cringy to me. But even with Death Magnetic I'll still listen to a couple of songs, I don't think I've listened to a single thing from Hardwired since the album came out. Everything they write seems corny and forced, Hetfield's riffs are generic, Hammett's solos are pointless, and the arrangements that Lars used to be so good at are a sloppy mess now

Spot on, brother. I couldn’t agree more.
It’s too bad the band didn’t have the guts to follow through on the evolution of their sound after the Load records.

I think Load is super underrated

quote:Weird. Why would you care about their financial position? The 1st 3 tracks are solid gold, each with a different style. The instrumental is great.

"Cyanide," "The Day That Never Comes," and "My Apocalypse" all sound rather forced and unfocused to this listener's ears.
There's a riff near the end of "The Day That Never Comes" that perfectly mimics the Meow Mix cat food commercial jingle. Funny, but sad.
Meow Mix-tallica?!
"Cyanide" in particular features some of the sloppiest transitions in the band's career. It's jarring.
To each his own, of course.
