I just don't care. I've been bored since Death Magnetic.
I get they're fricking old but they sound old and play like boomers in a garage band and their GUITAR TONE SOUNDS WEAK AND TWANGY FRICKING CHANGE IT ALREADY.
Nothing about their official post-Black album material will ever sound like it came from the people that essentially wrote the bible on thrash metal. I'm not expecting top tier thrash, or any at all at their age but I don't want half assed, tired geriatrics farting around in my ears with forgettable noise, either.
Also might be a production thing. Some of the new songs actually sound passable with the right attitude and tone:
I'm a huge fan so I was always going to like it
I think it sounds very similar to Hardwired, they're both solid hard rock albums. Obviously they'd never match the earlier stuff, nobody ever will. But as far as 60 year old men go making music they can still make some very listenable stuff
Saw them twice last year and the album sounds a lot better live. Even the plainest riffs sound good live when it's deafening. Also glad James got out of the alcohol addition phase again. Metallica live in 2023 just felt better than 2019. He's looking good again too, they look like they're having fun
I'm pretty contrarian on Metallica in that I thin their newer stuff is slightly underrated and the old material is slightly overrated. 72S isn't great, but it certainly blows away whatever Megadeth or Maiden or Slayer are up to now.
The snare drum has always been one of the best parts of that album and it filtered millions upon millions.
I like St. Anger just as much as I did in 2003.

Has anybody actually thought that their fame and being surrounded by soul sucking israeli pedophile democrats and having those beliefs forced on them has had an effect on their music?
its like green day who thinks protecting abortion is punk rock.
I get cringe shocks when my favorite band mastodon is literally totally full of cringe shitlibs (except for the face tattoo guitarist)
metallica died when james voice changed after "and justice". listen to any of the 80s james AI voice covers of their newer material and it becomes instantly much better.
true but metallica without the higher pitched vocals is just not the same. dropping the minute long intros, outros and solos with the black album and onward also didn't help.
That wasn't why though, Metallica toured hard on the Black Album and James blew out his voice to the point where he was causing damage to his vocal chords.
Why he chose to sound like a yodeling cowboy afterwards is beyond me, though.
He's still an angsty homosexual. He changed his voice deliberately because he blew it out touring so much in the late 80s/early 90s. But he chose the wrong type of voice to change it to. Nothing after the Black Album is worth listening to.
>"my ancient pre-boomer father can spot shitty music in 2.5 seconds flat" >plays him an obviously unfinished ambient demo track >"delete that, my son"
What the frick did Lars expect him to say?
Kirk sucks now
Yeah frick Kirk
no u
>now
He could never replace Dave
my favourite bit is when james goes to angrily slam the door as loud as possible after an argument and it just shuts quietly
kind of sums up the whole movie
post it
you can't type lars ulrich sells art into youtube?
post it dude
I keep getting results for pancakes
fine
moron

>Napster BAD!
I like pantera better
He's not a good drummer.
He really isn't.
And their success?
You know what? A lot of is based off of me.
only one guy? no continues?
WHAT WERE THEY THINKING!?
>You're just sitting there going "I'm in a really pissy mood..."
>AND I FRICKING TOLD YOU STRAIGHT UP THAT I WAS
Sorry, i was wrong, i could only stomach 2 minutes of the opening song.
your unfiltered opinion on this?
i never listened through the entire thing but i just found it kinda boring
the entire album is one long song. and the music videos all suck.
It's fine. Basically the same album as Hardwired. It's like Load and Reload again.
its actually unbelievable how they can musically go from hardwired to whatever this trash was
Hardwired is literally the only Metallica album I never bought.
its not terrible but spit out the bone is the best song they have put out in decades
james having a divorce might had something to do with that
tapped out after the first song
Extremely boring.
St. Anger is good and it's literally their best post St. Anger album.
sounds like what it is
a bunch of 60 year old multi-millionaires trying to be "metal"
it just doesn't work
incredibly repetitive too
Horrific cover art.
it's quite yellow
Please retire

Inamorata is the spiritual successor to Outlaw torn and Bleeding me
No it isn't. It's just long but nowhere near as good.
Nah I don't hear that
Lux Aeterna is decent. All the other songs are bland, directionless riffing with no hooks, just like Hardwired.
Crown of Barbwire's riff is pretty good
I'm a huge fan so I was always going to like it

>Slayer are up to now
None of them should be making music anymore.
>St Anger wasn;t even that bad.
It quite literally sounds like a bunch of fat, drunk 50 year olds having a jam session in a garage
yeah and it had soul
no it was just bad
I enjoy alot of raw fricking music and unhinged playing that sounds like a fricking train crash, but this is just fricking cringe
they released a live session / rehearsal dvd of the entire album and that sounds pretty good
>st anger was bad
reminder they re-recorded it with a not moronic snare drum and its actually good
The snare drum has always been one of the best parts of that album and it filtered millions upon millions.
I like St. Anger just as much as I did in 2003.
>snare drum good actually
its so good no musical act in history has ever used this sound after that
someone has never listened to slam death metal
it was a bold choice and i respect it
The drums didn't end up sounding like this though.
>they
some fricking homosexual?
>its actually good
>they

the trash can snare is just too annoying
Lars was right
Is Invisible Kid the worst song ever made?

I think they just got old, rich and fat
but that other shit probably didn't help either

Pretty much. He just started to sound like a pussy in the mid 90s.
people grow up out of their angst phase.

Was he right?
That's one reason.
I DON'T WANT IT
WANT IT WANT IT
WANT IT WANT IT NO, OOH NO OHHH NOOOOOOOOO
the live version with jason's vocal harmonies is fricking amazing
?feature=shared
It's shit like this that makes me think YouTube music is worth getting
I liked load & reload
admittedly that was when I was a mental fan when I was 15, not like I've gone back to re-evaluate them since
There's a few good songs, but overall it's pretty crap as a double album. If they cut out all the filler crap it would have been a solid single album.
FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuUUUUUUCCCCCCKKK
burzum are better than metallica in every fricking way
you fricking homosexuals are soft
Burzum is hipster garbage and not trve kvlt
