"72 seasons," said James Hetfield. "The first 18 years of our lives that form our true or false selves. The concept that we were told 'who we are' by our parents. A possible pigeonholing around what kind of personality we are. I think the most interesting part of this is the continued study of those core beliefs and how it affects our perception of the world today.

"Much of our adult experience is reenactment or reaction to these childhood experiences. Prisoners of childhood or breaking free of those bondages we carry.”

The album is 12 tracks and 77-minutes

New single is alright.

If tickets weren’t astronomically expensive I would think about going but you fucking know it ain’t gonna be reasonable. I almost went and saw them about 5 years ago just for shits and giggles and the cheapest tickets in the stratosphere were $130. Fuck that.

james is sounding pretty good. solo couldn't be more generic kirk style

song was fine but repetitive

Ryeknow · Post by **Ryeknow** » 29 Nov 2022, 05:19

Well this is a surprise, I didn't think there would be a new metallica until late '24

This song makes me think of garage inc, it has some overkill/it's electric vibes, as well as James's vocals. I like it pretty well

The album cover is different, hopefully there are some curveballs on this, To change it up a bit, I am interested in hearing a new metallica album again!

Okay after this comment I gave it a listen and holy crap you’re right!

Honestly though it’s fucking Lars - the drums sound like absolute garbage.

the ticketmaster fees alone will exceed $130 on this tour

The main riff was ok. But yeah this sounds like something dudes in the office would make and play at the company meat bath.

jawn galliano · Post by **jawn galliano** » 29 Nov 2022, 10:28

yeah the song was pretty dull

Ryeknow · Post by **Ryeknow** » 29 Nov 2022, 16:37

Oh yeah of course, I am the only one that likes this song here

low bar ryan, low bar

Gotta hear something fuller from the album to make any real judgment. Totally possible the track isn't indicative of the overall sound. It's a 77 minute album with 12 songs. Bound to be some meaty bangers in there.

72 turds

Verbal · Post by **Verbal** » 30 Nov 2022, 04:54

thats all the jihad gets you these days

thanks obama

Ryeknow · Post by **Ryeknow** » 30 Nov 2022, 07:35

This will be the best metallica since load! Just wait!

Ryeknow · Post by **Ryeknow** » 30 Nov 2022, 07:36

I mean, it's not hard to top the albums after that

Corpsepyre · Post by **Corpsepyre** » 30 Nov 2022, 19:59

Load's under-appreciated.

Reload, on the other hand, eh.

Mesarthim · Post by **Mesarthim** » 02 Dec 2022, 06:37

Just checked the presale.
$90 for awful seats, $145 for eh seats, $270 for sort of good seats. Floor isn’t even available. And they’re playing “in the round”? Fuck this bullshit.

Verbal · Post by **Verbal** » 02 Dec 2022, 06:54

back to the front

deckard · Post by **deckard** » 10 Dec 2022, 03:28

didnt think this single was very good, too high and crap

Ryeknow · Post by **Ryeknow** » 20 Jan 2023, 14:32

Decent. More garage inc vibes

shadowalk · Post by **shadowalk** » 20 Jan 2023, 15:01

I like this new song better than that other one released earlier.

vO)))id · Post by **vO)))id** » 20 Jan 2023, 16:01

Sounds better indeed!

I just really dislike the wet cardboard kickdrum sound

deckard · Post by **deckard** » 21 Jan 2023, 05:31

man these songs dont excite me at all :-/ interested to hear the whole album

Mesarthim · Post by **Mesarthim** » 21 Jan 2023, 13:46

sounds like third tier thrash. not bad, but not great either. but alas, the power of a brand proves its worth.

Ryeknow · Post by **Ryeknow** » 21 Jan 2023, 15:10

Although I am positive about these new songs I doubt this album will keep my attention after maybe a few listens

It probably won't be as good as hardwired

zim · Post by **zim** » 21 Jan 2023, 16:47

the most interesting part of this song was in the beginning where it sounds like wood drum sticks click together but lars uses metal drum sticks

also part of the second solo has a similar passage to mustaine's four horsemen solo

this was boring

Hardwired hasn't exactly aged that well though.

Corpsepyre · Post by **Corpsepyre** » 21 Jan 2023, 23:30

Also, Lars is on autopilot throughout this track. More so than on anything else I've heard of them in a while. Amazing.

deckard · Post by **deckard** » 22 Jan 2023, 05:36

this song is like brain damaged boring, his vocals are pretty good, like an old man dying

deckard · Post by **deckard** » 28 Jan 2023, 04:23

i love metallica and even the albums people dont really like but these two singles arent grabbing me

deckard · Post by **deckard** » 28 Jan 2023, 04:27

few listens trying and fuck it

vO)))id · Post by **vO)))id** » 28 Jan 2023, 11:47

Yeah I'm bored with them as well now.
Rehashed Motorhead stuff....

Ryeknow · Post by **Ryeknow** » 02 Mar 2023, 23:27

?

Corpsepyre · Post by **Corpsepyre** » 03 Mar 2023, 00:52

Nah, not doing anything for me. Uninspired stuff for the most part.

Agreed completely.

deckard · Post by **deckard** » 03 Mar 2023, 04:41

i like this song bette than the others but damn, its like they are competing to write the most boring songs possible

i know they are fucking old but maybe i know they can write some riffs with more going on than this.

shadowalk · Post by **shadowalk** » 04 Mar 2023, 07:50

New song is basically a re-arrangement of Eye of The Beholder...love it.

Ryeknow · Post by **Ryeknow** » 04 Mar 2023, 08:00

Never caught that but you're right
