Hardwired...To Self-Destruct (Leaked Album, First Listen)

WE'RE SO FUCKED

>>69086488
Confusion sounds like they are ripping themselves off, almost identical chord progression from the album Ride the Lightning.

Halo is a fantastic song.

>>69088604
Spit Out the Bone is fucking great. A lot of the tracks are very forgettable though. I like the overall feel to it, it is way better structurally and musically compared to Death Magnetic.

It's like they mashed The Black Album with Load for most of it.

>>69088544

>>69088778
At the moment I'm liking:

Halo
Spit
Revenge
Now that we're dead

>>69088880
I still can't figure out why the fuck this was spread out on two discs. I like Revenge too. I just wish they (the songs) were a bit more diverse...

>>69088897
I think it was just a marketing thing or maybe a stylistic choice. There's quite a difference musically between the two discs.

>>69088897
Yeah I'm not too sure.. I have heard something about potential loss of quality after 75ish minutes.

But who knows, I don't really care to be honest.

Hmm.. I don't think it's as bad as DM regarding diversity. It is their most diverse in a long time.

>>69088938
>There's quite a difference musically between the two discs.
I suppose you could chalk it up to this, yeah. I am going more with it being a marketing gimmick to buy it on a vinyl.

I don't think that is a real concern with modern CD compression now, most Wal-Mart CD-'s can hold up to like an hour without much loss of quality.
>It is their most diverse in a long time.
Yeah, that's what I was thinking...though this means that the more die-hard fans probably won't like it is as much. But I think everything flows well and the songs are pretty decent overall. The production value also is better than Death Magnetic.

Honestly, this is best we are going to get from here on out...

>>69088983
Not that I outright didn't like it but I think it pales in comparison to the rest of the album

Solo's pretty good and I like the bouncy, bluesy sound of the verses, but it's kind of basic

>>69089023
Yeah it did come off as basic.

I am pretty surprised that this whole album is as bluesy at it is tbqhfamalamadingdong. I thought it would be faster and more hard line thrash than this.

>>69089023
>>69089037
Spit out the bone is simple.

Halo has a lot more going on

>>69089161
>Spit out the bone is simple.
I disagree with this, and simple doesn't make it bad. As an album closer, it's great. I like the ferocity in his voice on it too.

>>69089178
Oh i love the song too! It has some awesome riffs.

I just feel Halo is more "complex" and flows much better.

i dunno.. I'm not a musician.. I think its Hets vocals and phrasing that make it so good for me

>>69089178
Not trying to sound wanky! I'm not one of those fans.

I just love the heavy intro to halo and how it breaks down to the verse... just so different. I dunno. It's fucking amazing to my ears

So, is it good?

>>69089295
It is DEFINITELY "good".

I would say it's a great album.

>>69089295
Yeah, I love it. It's a little more like the Black Album/Load than the singles would have you believe, but that helps it feel genuine. The guys are making the kind of music they want to make, not the kind of music their fans will like them for.

>>69089507
well half of them anyway...

it sounds like 95% hetfield and ulrich.. aside from spit out the bone, that was just your life and my apocalypse were better thrash songs than anything on this album

>tfw liked murder one more than spit out the bone
and i'm not saying murder one is good, but i thought spit out the bone was shit

Most of this album is unlistenable garbage, taking too closely after Death Magnetic. I'm not even being a goddamned snot about this; Metallica's been my "favorite band" for twenty years, and I can't fucking stand these last two albums.

Shit thing is, I can't even tell you why. Not exactly. As much as I hate to admit it, I just think James' songwriting is driving me away. I can't put up with this weak rhyming he's doing lately, knowing that he's capable of something so much better.

Halo on Fire is possibly the worst offender for this and I had to skip the song the first play-through because of that fucking "wooord, word, blah blah blah word" "rhyme" schematic he was doing.

Okay. Okay, let's try to be positive.

Dream No More sounds like some kind of Ozzy mashup. The lyrics are okay. Neat song.

Atlas, Rise! is a nice song, but is pretty obviously a Death Magnetic B side.

The vocal harmonies in Moth Into Flame are nice. Also more at home on Death Magnetic.

Spit Out The Bone is one of very few sparks of hope on this album. I don't really like the lyrical melody, but whatever. It's a step in the right direction (any direction away from Death Magnetic).

The best song on the album is Now That We're Dead, in my opinion - which, I know is probably considered shit by a lot of people already. ReLoad was my first album, and the songs like Fixxxer, I Disappear and Unforgiven II are generally what I consider to "be Metallica", so take all this as you will (or don't).

I'll look forward to the next album, but if I have to wait another eight or ten years, I could well get hit by a bus before then.

>>69090393
>I can't even tell you why
Honestly you just sound like you're trying too hard to be cynical about it. The album's getting positive reception all over the place.

If at this stage you don't like what Metallica's doing, it might just be as simple as you not liking the kind of music they make now. They've done everything that can be expected of them to win guys like you over.

>>69090500

I appreciate what you're saying, but I really want to be positive about this album. I wanted to like it, but I guess there's just nothing to distinguish it from Death Magnetic.

I guess it feels like they can either thrash on their guitars, or sing a decent song, and there's no intermixing.

Yeah, it's getting great reviews; but as a counter-point, I'd say that the Hardwired title track is being hailed as some sort of Second Coming, and it's literal poprock music garbage. I like to imagine James giggling to himself saying "teehee, I said the F- word..!" You can't convince anyone of this though, because they're too busy creaming themselves because the bridge riff has some faint resemblance to Metal Militia and everyone's yelling about how this means "they're back!!!1".

Pop rock, pop hard rock, pop metal, whatever you want to call a very safe song with some super edgy curse words thrown in to generate static on the radio stations.

>>69090621
They're literally the most popular metal band in the world, surely everything they've ever done is 'pop' technically. I don't really think it's edgy either, they're obviously having fun with it.

i bet James is playing that last solo on Halo

it's ok, but for a band like Metallica just seems extremelly uninspired and generic

Moth, Bone & Halo are the best

metallica is shit

I liked it. No classic songs here, but seems like a return to form. Imagine the simpsons putting out a season 10 quality episode now. It would be shit if we were only in season five, but after years of crap, a little above mediocrity is welcome.

I don't understand the comparison to death magnetic, the style is very different, the production, the guitar tones, the drumming, etc. The solos on this one are interesting and even good at times, Death magnetic barely had any and they were boring.

It's probably Metallica's best since the black album or even and justice for all.

We're so fucked
Shit outta luck

>>69088972
>Honestly, this is best we are going to get from here on out...
Everyone thought the same thing when Death Magnetic came out, anon. I'm not saying to be optimistic for future Metallica releases, but they could surprise us again.

well, sure it's better than Lulu. but I don't know why, they sound to me like a tribute band. It's like listening metallica trying to be metallica

>>69094100
Lulu is probably their best album. It's a top pleb filter too.

>>69094245
lowest bait I have seen. really.
I'll assume that you are serious and correct myself. what I understand for metallica is Kill'em all, master of puppets, ride the lightnin...

Lars seems to have absorbed Kirk's talent; very solid drumming, Hammett barely turns up, and I wonder how many of the good solos in this are James. Feels like Ride/Magnetic/Load mashed into one with some of Justice's progressiveness. Solid release.
Spit Out The Bone is worth the second disc, which drags a little, but a lesser band would have edited down twelve tracks to the best eight. [Probably first disc in entirety, Here Comes Revenge Or Am I Savage, and Spit out the Bone]

All in all 8/10. A worthy reclaimation of Metallica's throne, but little expansion into new territory.

The standard edition cover is also awful, vinyl and collector's is far better composition.

>>69096615
>and you baited.
That's not what baited means.

It's "sucking Metallica's dick" to say that Master of Puppets is a good album? Are you fucking retarded? Not everyone gets off to just being contrarian for no reason.
>I had high hopes on the album, from what i listened it's death magnetic 2.0 that's ok for the fans i guess. it could be worst.
Good for you, but the question was about you offering up constructive criticism to explain why you feel Master of Puppets is a bad album.

Which I'm still waiting for...

>>69096615
>If you don't have an actual criticism...
This wasn't bait, autismo.

my problem with a lot of these songs is that they feel very riff-salady and bloated with shit thrown in at random that doesn't make much structural sense. spit out the bone does not need to be over 7 minutes long for what it is. if you cut out their acoustic intros fight fire with fire and battery are both 4 minutes long and every riff feels like it serves a purpose whether its conveying the themes in the lyrics of a particular section, transitioning in and out of a section, building tension, changing the mood, etc. this is something old metallica did extremely well and has been kind of lost in the shuffle nowadays. the riffs and vocals also used to be very interconnected and complimentary to one another, whereas a song like "spit out the bone" has long sections of just tremolo picking with james shouting the (very generic for metallica in my opinion, i believe "the god the failed" has a similar one at one point and a lot of other songs on hardwired feel like they have extremely similar vocal melodies with one another) vocal melody over it with little consideration paid to how it relates to what's happening in the guitar.

to drive my point home take a song like disposable heroes

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IYaRQKF0mpk

this song is a good example of the kind of skill metallica used to have that i feel they're lacking in nowadays. there are three distinct "main" riffs that each serve a purpose in telling the three different perspectives of the song: the soldier down in the field, the narrator overlooking the whole battle, and the authority figure towering above them and sending them to die. each riff ratchets up or brings down the tension and reflects the appropriate mood and notice how after two of these three riffs are introduced in the intro they are changed up harmonically to fit with the vocals and add variation. i have a lot more i want to say but ran out of room so tl;dr SOtB etc doesn't do a lot of the things metallica used to do so effectively

>>69096747
this is in addition to the terrible production, kirk's shitty soloing (the solo in disposable heroes is great, explores a few different ideas and the entire section does a great job of giving a sense of finality to the last verse of the song) etc. hardwired just isn't a good album for me at all.

>>69096801
>addition to the terrible production
Hardwired doesn't really have bad production though...

>>69096839
it does. drums are obnoxiously loud, nothing has any character, all songs sound flat with no sense of dynamics, it feels like beyond magnetic but beyond magnetic had an excuse because they were basically demos

>>69096747
Disposable Heroes has some sweet cymbal chokes, and one of the ony times I can remember Lars using the ride cymbal.

>>69096861
>drums are obnoxiously loud
As a drummer, I'll agree that the percussion isn't mixed well.
>all songs sound flat with no sense of dynamics
What format are you listening? It's not really that flat. Things like "character" and "dynamics" aren't production value terms in and of themselves. Do you mean the dynamics in the MIX? Again, it's not objectively bad. Maybe a bit too processed, but I have a CD rip, I have no idea how much was compromised in downloading this.

maybe a fairer comparison considering what they were probably going for is damage inc but it's even less favorable: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NbLMrce7OJI

exempting the intro piece the song itself is only about 3:30 and contains far more creativity and thoughtful use of musical ideas than spit out the bone does. of special note are the vocals, i love how the riff at 3:15 implies the vocal melody that comes after it and is pretty much identical at "we know just where you come from". it's baffling to me that metallica were able to write songs this good when they were extremely intoxicated kids but can't do it now

My expectations for Hardwired... To Self-Destruct were pretty low going into but I have to say I'm impressed. I'd say it's on par with Death Magnetic. I liked the long, guitar solo filled songs on DM and the lyrics were a bit better in my opinion but the production is so much better on Hardwired and it has more memorable riffs.

What happened to Kirk here? Sure thing Kirk isn't that super amazing guitarrist most people make him out to be, but he isn't really as bad as the other side of most people think. I'm left feeling "men this could definetely been better" specially on Dream No More considering the theme and Kirk's sound on stuff like The Thing and Harvester. His solo on Exodus' Salt the Wound was great, here so far it's just pretty much ok, some cool bits here and there but that's it, you can even kind of hear past solos in some.

Kirk said in an interview that those two wanted creative control and he just let them have it. which might also be the reason all Kriks solos sound flat as fuck.

>>69102060
james and lars were always the creative entrepeneurial engines in the band, but kirk is the no ego glue that holds it all together, imagine if he had ambitions or expectations like jason did.

i mean even in some kind of monster he was the guy that agreed to anything to keep the band going.

No, pitch correction and light modulation is not outright auto-tuning. Common misconception.

They sound artificial, too heavy on the correction. It barely sounds like him.

>>69102392
>They sound artificial
He is also singing in a different key...

Or it's been pitch corrected to a different key. Sounds terrible though, also if this was played at 1.25x speed it would sound way better.

some of their best songs are slow and melodic, but those are contrast to the thrash of the rest of their album which only really adds to their impact.

HtSD so far has started fast and progressively gotten slower, which is really sucking the life out of some of the songs.

>>69089161

I've found myself playing parts of Halo over in my head today.

Both of these statements are exceptionally retarded and I honestly don't know what metal bands you listen to. This is literally not true of any genre...

Plenty of metal bands still innovating and producing fantastic albums. I think you have a narrow conception of how genres work.

>>69104260
>Believing that some genres can only have certain things to say about life
Are you retarded about music? There is heavy metal about environmental issues to taking your kids out to the fucking park.

The only "good" part of the album is this video:

>they're obviously having fun with it.
This doesn't justify making garbage. Like if they want to "have fun with it" they should not publicly release this garbage. Lars is an absolute garabage drummer, skills of a 11 year old and the attitude of a drum god with nothing to back it up. The riffs sound like something anyone who has played guitar for 4 months would play after listening to Load. Hetfield has been an absolute garbage singer since the 90's and can't write lyrics for shit.

Pretty cool shit yes, although it kinda reminded me of power rangers for a moment.

>>69108999

LEAST FAVORITE TRACK:DREAM NO MORE (AWFUL you can actually hear the auto tune)

Legit question. Why do people that claim to hate literally everything after Justice, or even those to claim that they hated Justice, keep bothering to come back with every new record? Why if Metallica died in 88, 89, 8fucking something and hated them why do they bother to check on them still?

somehow below their alt rock period. more pop than fucking metal

>>69110007
because everyone has a metallica phase. it's like looking up your ex drunk on social media. you just kind of do it.

>>69110022
Never got a ex so I'm a stranger to the feeling. Never got a current either.

>>69110007
Beacause you grow up out of that hugbox "durr, only Justice was the great last album" autism and realize that Load and Reload arent terrible.

It's not hard to see why people get turned off by load and reload, but yeah, they're pretty enjoyable if you got a taste for softer stuff too and are willing to give a proper hearing. Still, if you didn't like 4 or 5 fucking albums in succesion, why keep hoping that they will someday make something of your liking again?

Fallon can go suck a dick, but this was kinda fun

https://youtu.be/GXJifYl_byU

i've always been fascinated by how old metallica fans who grew up with them seem to enjoy whatever metallica does without being too serious about it, especially if they have families and/or stable lives, but both people who chose to stay metalheads as old people, or younger people who are adopting the metalhead mantle display almost hatred towards metallica.

this goes for both albums and stuff like last night's fallon performance, metallica is just doing whatever they feel like without trying adhere to a metal lifestyle and this causes massive butthurt to those who give themselves to the cause.

not saying their later stuff is any good (personally think they're ok, but nothing special), just how much people seem to try and hate on metallica.

>>69110828
Yes, a lot of people hate metallica but you seem to forget how many ass lickers metallica has.

>>69110828
I think it's kind of seen as like a badge of honor with some people. Metallica are the biggest, most popular metal band in the world, and teenagers who are into metal tend to be very bratty and cynical, so hating on Metallica is the quickest and easiest way to seem more hardcore than other metal fans. It's like people who call Slipknot and stuff like that 'pop'. It's embarrassing, but they don't realise it.

I also think their success might be a component in a different way. Lots of teenage metalheads are - let's not beat around the bush - total losers. A lot of them turn to 'angry' music like Metallica to help deal with it. When they see what they consider to be a band who makes music for outcasts like them being immensely successful, beloved and happy, they get mad.

>>69110996
i agree on all accords, and with teenagers i can understand, it's just sad when middleaged people are still doing this.

>>69110984
sure, but all asslickers ever do is circlejerk, i don't see them anywhere but metallica related stuff, they're not as annoying.

>>69108127
Mayhem is not one of them.

got it since monday.

shitty album, shitty band even my local record store is giving away the album if you buy 2 or more records.

>>69105581
that put a smile on my face, the people who write the tonight show really know how to reach a diverse audience despite working with jimmy fallon.

The album is definitely a grower. It has melody and a style of its own, but nothing immediate like Sandman or Sad But True.
First time I heard Atlas Rise, I thought it was mediocre. But I actually grew to enjoy it. Much like most of the songs. I prefer that to something instantly catchy which you get bored with soon enough.

This album sounds like a NWOBHM riff fest, a cross between Kill Em All, Black and Load, without the immediacy or catchiness. It's a grower for sure.

Also, the guitar sound fits James' modern riff style of staccato-picking. That 80s scooped Boogie sound wouldn't work here, and would actually sound dated. The rhythm guitars actually sound similar to the Marshall sound of Kill Em All.

I believe this album was solely written by Hetfield and Ulrich, but correct me if I'm wrong. It's definitely a riff fest for sure.

I'm digging it!

Life's too short...besides, who wouldn't want to be in a successful band as a career?

>>69112370
Nice, cheers for the correction.

Poor Kirk, maybe next time he'll back up his phone data and not lose one thousand ideas.

>>69107406
so this song's about Lemmy

>>69112402
I personally find it amusing, doesn't really drag me down. Most bands I've listened to have been called shit at some point, don't really care. But some arguments are really fucking funny.

>>69112432
It's actually pretty cool, a fitting tribute for such an icon.
I think Moth was written about Amy Winehouse too.
Probably more social commentary on this album since Justice.

>>69112461
I'm glad anon, there's nothing worse than being negged out by miserable fucks. At least you see the humor in it.

>>69112428
That's the second time kirk doesn't have any writing credits. (after kill em all)
But the fact that he couldn't come up with any idea is pretty strange.

Dude, what's your point? Hetfield has been writing rhyming pairs for 35 years, not since ReLoad.

Also, if you're expecting I Disappear and UII please just...go.

We should all be grateful Hetfield no longer oversings or yodels. Eck.

>>69112532
I think he was pretty bummed out by it, and songwriting/production was already in progress for him to feel spontaneously inspired.

I'd wager these guys write their best riffs at 1am in the hotel room, which Kirk mentioned. I don't think they could write under pressure in a studio. Different strokes and whatnot.

why would anyone still care about metallica

>>69110828
The problem is that people take "metalhead" or whatever as part of their identity, or even as their whole identity. So you get people hating on "low man's lyric" or whatever not because it's a bad song, but rather because it's "not metal", and not metal = sucks.

Like you mention, more balanced people might consume metal as part of their musical diet, but they also listen to a bunch of other stuff, maybe not diametrically opposite like disney soundtracks, but they're not stuck on metalhead mode.

So yeah it's fine to dislike Metallica, but do it for the right reasons (that Lars sucks live, that James hogs the creative process and doesn't let Kirk or Rob/Jason contribute that much, if at all, etc) not because they're mainstream and thus "not metal"

>>69112657
>why would anyone still care about one of the most influential bands of all time and probably the gateway band to taking music seriously for many anons
I mean, it's understandable not to like them or even hate their music, but it's pretty obvious why people still care.

>one of the most influential bands of all time
They did exactly two things: Influence mediocre thrash bands, and influence mediocre groove bands. Their last worthwhile album came out in 1988 and it wasn't exactly good. They're an overrated, inflated band that has survived oblivion more thanks to promotion than talent and you ate that promotion, hook sink and liner.

Why would anyone still care about memetallica?

>>69112759

your own words

Spit out the bone is legit one of the best songs they have produced in a good long while.

The album has a couple other good songs, but holy SHIT does this album take you on a serious rollercoaster ride of laughably bad mixed with some moments of really good. The lyrical content of some songs are so hilariously bad that you end up mentally cringing, intro song i'm fucking looking at you.

Halo on fire while being a good song also has really fucking bad moments.

If somebody would grow some nuts and tell james to fuck off with his lyrics and get a writer in there and these faggots would actually allow some editing this could have been a seriously good album.

>>69113016

Lulu is legitimately a fantastic album when taken outside of Metallica discography

>>69100248
My last few farts have sounded more inspired than last few Megadeth albums, and I love their old stuff. Honestly don't know what happened there, but damn they fucking suck now

>>69114039
I guess I just don't get Lou Reed. Lou Reed, singing, talking, I don't know what that is, killed it for me. I really like the sound of the whole instrumental thing. Can't get behind the lyrics either.

This album would sound better if James wrote all less parts as well. What happened Kirk? Sounds like he's literally regressed into a worse player as the years have gone on.

>>69114088
Megadeth has been on a constant roller coaster to me. I don't really dislike anything of what they put out recetly to the point I can't stand listening to it, but don't find myself coming to these last albums that much now. Had to let Super Collider sink for a pair of years before giving it a proper listen.. I did like Dystopia a lot tho, don't know if Kiko's inclusion to the band has something to do with it or not but the band sounds energized in a way I haven't feel in years.

>>69114096
I'm a big lou reed fan as well, so I guess enjoying both of them helps get it more. I can see why it's not some peoples cup of tea, but the hate for it was overwhelming, just because it was metallica doing something outside of the metal genre. Props to them for pushing themselves musically, not a lot of bands would have taken that project.

>>69114175
For me their last half-decent album was System has failed. I can still name half the tracks off that. Latest stuff just sounds super bland to my ears, no tracks really stand out.

>>69090393
Bait

>>69114187
They got to do something cool with someone they admired and they seem to have had a lot of fun with it too. It's kind of sad that it ended with the kind of reception it did.

>>69114242
System got some pretty cool stuff, Endgame I liked a lot back when it came out but now I'm not really liking the vocals on it that much and just end up listening to the same 4 tracks and then moving on to other stuff.

I wasn't feeling Dystopia singles at first, I don't know what the fuck they added to Mustaine voice on it that sounds fucking horrible but the guitar work on it is pretty amazing. At least it got me pretty hooked for now.

>>69096747
You described what I like about Metallica in the best way possible. Sadly, I was born in the eighties and couldn't appreciate them at their best.

The only (half-assed) attempt return to form was "All nightmare long", in my opinion.

Lars never had any technical skill as a drummer although back when he cared, he could at least bring the energy live.

>>69114950
Audio files of the same type/settings/bitrate always have the same size per minute. A completely silent 3-min track will have the same size as a 3-min track with music as long as they were rendered with the same settings. You literally have no idea what you're talking about.

>>69112321
>That 80s scooped Boogie sound wouldn't work here

The riffs they had on MOP were basically an update of 70s Page/Iommi funk riffs, but faster and not bluesy. But you could obviously see the influences from 70s AOR on the classic Metallica albums.

>>69115276
>implying im human

>>69114718
St. Anger had some sweet riffs. The Unnamed Feeling and Sweet Amber are underrated tracks.

I didn't care about the lack of solos or the piccolo snare, but the album would have been much better if they had opted for a doom sound instead of a numetal sound.

>>69112321
Then again, I wouldn't expect an album released in 2016 to sound like Load either. The crunchy grunge guitar sound on there would be every bit as out of date.

>>69112582

>>69115430
St. Anger songs are actually cool played live. But jesus christ lord the studio version is just horrible.

>>69115694
Except they didn't play any of them live after 2004 because they found them boring to play.

>>69115732
I think they still play St. Anger, I saw a recent concert on youtube with them playing it and James saying "a truly misunderstood album" or something along the lines. I think they're very aware that the fans hated it and just pulled out that excuse.

For a "sellout" band, they kinda have some integrity left, as they never altered any of the songs while playing them live to make them sound more "metallica" friendly.

>>69115832
>>69115732
They played some songs during the 30 anniversary thing I think. There's this too.

>For a "sellout" band, they kinda have some integrity left, as they never altered any of the songs while playing them live to make them sound more "metallica" friendly.

Dontcha know they never play the slow midsection of The Four Horsemen and MOP live and they cut out the second half of the Blackened lead break because Lars is too shitty to pull it off.

>>69116021
Why do they cut that one of section of Battery anyway? It makes no sense.

>>69116021
I was talking about the St Anger songs. They did play the whole four horsemen recently on that dehaan show along with the rest of Kill em All.

Blackened was only played live in its entirety early in the '88 tour and then they dropped the first half of the solo because Lars sucks.

>>69115377
Agreed, you can hear the definite progression, even with the new album the elements are there.

>>69115547
I have to agree with you too.
It's like people thinking the new album should sound like the Black album as a yardstick. But if you were to release an album sounding like that today, you'd be laughed at. It'd be horribly outdated.
Nothing wrong with contemporising one's sound. New Metallica sounds nothing like old Metallica, and that's a good thing.

>>69115639
Haha the old "wa-na-na-" demos in Lars' dungeon? Classic Hetfield.

>>69116096
I mean, TBA sounds like 1991 and there's no way around that.

Why was Spit out the Bone twist so shit?
