Hetfield's favourite track on the new album is 'Dream No More'.

Me too.

I must be missing something, I don't fully get the love for this song. It's cool, but not even top 5 for me.

I'd like to catch themy on the US tour as well

And to cover the third continent in a row, I wouldn't mind at all to see them again here in Italy, it would be my second time since the first one in 2011 for the Big Four.

Kotowboy · « **Reply #3925 on:** December 27, 2016, 05:15:09 AM »

I like how Here Comes Revenge is in Gminor in the verse and E minor in the chorus and it goes between the two without sounding jarring.

dparrott · « **Reply #3926 on:** December 27, 2016, 11:23:18 PM »

Had a thought today: If y'all think Kirk's playing is bad now, just imagine it in 5-8 years!

NOW do you want another Metallica album?

That double bass in Lords Of Summer!

Not bad, gramps!

He can do 16ths like in the break in Blackened still but he can't keep it up for as long as he once could.

The double-time double bass at the end of Fade To Black live he can still do no trouble.

He doesn't even try the double bass in the verses of Dyers Eve anymore because he knows that he can't do it.

If I have to be honest, the transition to E minor sounds extremely anti-climactic and underwhelming to me, it pretty much kills the song for me. The verses are very unique melodically, and then they go back to generic riffing and overused key.

Kotowboy · « **Reply #3932 on:** December 29, 2016, 11:14:45 AM »

But the riff under it can still be thought of as G minor aeolian.

It's also E Locrian so it kinda works.

I just think it's interesting since you don't normally think that E minor & G minor go together.

My Hardwired...To Self-Destruct ranking after 6 weeks.

TheCountOfNYC · « **Reply #3934 on:** December 30, 2016, 01:43:27 PM »

01: Dream No More
02: Halo on Fire
03: Moth Into Flame
04: Spit Out the Bone
05: Confusion
06: Now That We're Dead
07: ManUNkind
08: Here Comes Revenge
09: Am I Savage?
10: Atlas, Rise!
11: Hardwired
12: Murder One

Lords of Summer would be somewhere in the middle. Probably in between HCR and AIS.

Kotowboy · « **Reply #3935 on:** December 30, 2016, 02:21:09 PM »

If this was an 8 track album like Ride & Master - i'd have all of Disc 1, Confusion and Spit Out The Bone.

Same only it would be Am I Savage and Spit from disc 2

MirrorMask · « **Reply #3937 on:** December 30, 2016, 03:20:00 PM »

Here Comes Revenge and Spit Out the Bone for me

Adami · « **Reply #3938 on:** December 30, 2016, 03:23:30 PM »

I'd say screw an 8 track limit and I'd put in Revenge, Bone and Savage.

But if I had to stick to 8, I'd dump Hardwired.

Kotowboy · « **Reply #3939 on:** December 30, 2016, 04:10:54 PM »

I know this isn't *technically* a double album - but it's a very rare example of a double album where it's not half great and half meh.

I think it's a fantastic album for all of it's 77 minutes. 84 minutes if you count Lords Of Summer - which is also "pretty good".

So yeah - bravo. And well worth the wait. More like this next time please !

Adami · « **Reply #3940 on:** December 30, 2016, 04:25:54 PM »

I guess I like Lords of Summer more than most. The lyrics aren't great, but everything else about it is really good I think.

Could have done without the live tracks though. Good god Kirk.

Kotowboy · « **Reply #3941 on:** December 30, 2016, 04:31:04 PM »

It wasn't a good gig for Kirk but somethings up with him anyway. Probably an injury - which is a shame..

Even Lars isn't nearly as sloppy as he used to be.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KFkT0oHHH70 < - - - Creep and Blackened from Fox Theatre. Actual double bass from lars !

dparrott · « **Reply #3943 on:** December 31, 2016, 09:03:44 AM »

I was thinking of this while listening to disc 1...a combination. Mine would be simple:
HW
Atlas
Moth
Dream
LOS
Bone
Maybe one other song

Kotowboy · « **Reply #3944 on:** December 31, 2016, 10:23:33 AM »

I like the new version of Lords of Summer. It's a big improvement.

But I still don't think it's good enough to be on the album proper.

I'm glad a proper studio version of it exists though.

Agreed on all counts. Putting it as a bonus track on the third disc was the perfect decision, IMO.

Kotowboy · « **Reply #3946 on:** January 01, 2017, 04:01:52 AM »

Yes it was.

You want a studio version ? It's on Disc 3. You don't like the song at all ? It's on Disc 3. Not shoved on the end of Disc 2 as a Bonus Track which ruins the flow of the main album...

Perfect decision.

They obviously like the song in the band too as it's got it's own music video and the booklet has the lyrics.

NotePad · « **Reply #3947 on:** January 01, 2017, 10:15:00 AM »

Wow a lot of people are comparing this album to Load/Reload... Which is a huge exaggeration IMO. Not all the songs have the same speed or kick as DM, but it's still a Metallica Thrash album, which Load and Reload most definitely were not.

Phoenix87x · « **Reply #3948 on:** January 01, 2017, 10:20:17 AM »

I hope they announce the U.S. tour dates soon. I am very ready

King Nothing was bluesy pentatonic slow hard rock.

Several songs on Disc 2 can also be described as such.

2x4 and manUNkind aren't that dissimilar.

Wasting My Hate would have fit right in on Hardwired To Self Destruct.

mikeyd23 · « **Reply #3950 on:** January 01, 2017, 06:35:39 PM »

Yeah, I can understand how some songs remind people of the Loads. But for me, I hear influence on this album from their entire catalogue, except maybe St. Anger. It's one of the reasons I've really been liking this album, it's got a little bit of everything Metallica has to offer.
