72 Seasons is the best album since ...And Justice for All.
James voice is great, Lars surprised me, Rob and Kirk are amazing.

I finally found a song on this album that I like parts of.
Mostly when I listen to new (anything after AJFA) Metallica nowadays, I struggle to listen all the way through a song. I typically listen for about 20-30 seconds and then turn it off.
Hardwired to self destruct was listenable and enjoyable for what it is.
On this new album, I couldn't listen all the way through

72 Seasons
They just remind me of Load/Reload/ and sound really generic and have the worst of Metallica in them. Really cringy macho stuff.
But I listened to Inamorata this morning, and I thought it was pretty good (well, some of it anyway). The drum tone is yuck, the drum beat is very simple (I prefer something more interesting), the lyrics are very, very repetitive, the wah guitar sound is just flogged to death ('comon Kirk, get rid of the wah) but I think at the 5:20 mark when it gets quiet the song all of a sudden starts to sound interesting, Hetfield's voice is much better when he is soft rather than trying to sound angry in every song, the outro solo is nice, finally some nice soloing where I'm not overly distracted by the wah. The song is way too long for what it has to offer, but has a couple of nice parts AND I made it all the way through the song, so there's that at least.
The intro sounds a little like spit out the bone, the rest sounds like something from garage days, but with load/reload tones on vocals and guitars.Lux Aeterna doesn't sound like Load or Reload at all, it sounds like Kill 'em All era mixed with NWOBHM.
I think he co-wrote in 3 or 4 songs. Trujillo co-wrote in a couple I think.The intro sounds a little like spit out the bone, the rest sounds like something from garage days, but with load/reload tones on vocals and guitars.
I've grown really bored and tired of Metallica, but still I check out their new albums to see if anything different comes up. I haven't bothered going through the whole album. Maybe I'll not bother even tasting any of the next one. Anyway, will be interesting to see when they come up with a new album when, if ever I give any of it a listen. I'm surprised I bothered this time around.
Does anyone know if Hammet got to write any songs this time? or did he just turn up to play solos?
Give it another chance. Find the right moment. Obviously the Overkill album is much better but this album is good enough just for Hetfield riffs and some harmonies.I got maybe 45ish seconds into the new album before I turned it off. The main riff that kicks things off didn't do anything for me and I also had the new Overkill album to listen to (which was good). I may pick this album back up but I'm still put off by how bad the album artwork is and how long the album is.
Yeah the last song is Sabbath and there is another one in the middle that reminds to Sabbath's National Acrobat or one of songs of Sabbath bloody Sabbath album. There is even a plagiarism or tribute (I would call plagiarism) to Ritchie Blackmore's guitar lick of Speed King in the third songNo offence but listened to the entire album without skipping anything and found it boring as fuck, despite some (very short) Motörhead at the beginning and some Black Sabbath near the end.
Of all the things to not like an album on.I may pick this album back up but I'm still put off by how bad the album artwork is and how long the album is.
