I got tons of Load/Reload vibes from this track. I fucking love those albums. Need to do “The Outlaw Torn” 🤘

[@pastorofmuppets13]

EDIT: Your WOOOOOO in unison at 17:28 cracked me up. Contrary to some opinions, Metallica never went anywhere, they never fell off. They are the most successful metal band of all time. Their true passion is playing live so they don't release albums as frequently as other bands that have been around as long as they have. They sell out venues wherever they go. Their audience contains 70 year olds and 17 year olds. Only heard 3 songs off this album and so far, I feel like they are making music they can play live and sustain over the next several years. Bottom line, I am happy they are still releasing music and can't wait to hear these live. You 2 didn't really like "Battery" but that song comes to life in an entirely different way when played live. Long live Metallica!

[@johnseward2934]

As much as I love Metallica (they were the band that got me into metal as an early teen with Master), Reload and especially St. Anger were definitely "fall off" territory. Death Magnetica was an uptick, but Hardwired to Self Destruct didn't do much for their catalogue. In any case, this new album has some good promise.

[@juniorlupercio1470]

Jame’s vocals have been the highlight of this record for me!

[@derbydriver]

To me, this song sounds almost like what we’d get if Metallica immediately swerved back to their Black Album sound after Load. Parts of the song sound directly taken from Load (like the guitar hang after the intro, sounds like the opening to King Nothing, some of the vocal work sounds like Load/Reload) while the instrument sound (especially the bass) and the song structure is closer to Black Album. I think it’s hard to fully appreciate a song like this if you’re someone who grew up with Metallica and keep crossing your fingers to feel the magic you felt when you first discovered them. But I think this song, if it were released by just about any other band, would be treated with a lot more respect than it’ll be given because it’s Metallica. Also, PLEASE do Bleeding Me. It’s one of Metallica’s best songs overall and it’s on Load. I think it’ll be one of those songs that sneaks up on you, maybe you won’t feel it at first but by the end, when the song it taken as a whole, you’ll feel much differently.

[@jhamilton1007]

More like what should have come out after AJFA and before the Black Album

[@chim-choo-ree]

There's more than a little Death Magnetic in this one, too. I specifically hear "The Day that Never Comes." Personally, I haven't been thrilled by any of the singles from this new album. They all sound like retreads, and they're all so damn long (and this coming from someone with a friggin Joanna Newsom pfp that used to be an Opeth pfp...).

[@pastorofmuppets13]

I have thought exactly the same thing about so many Metallica songs - "If any other band had made this..." Metallica has the best and worst fans of any band in history. You are so right about the music being tied into nostalgia for lost teen years. I'm about the same age as the band so have been there for the whole journey. I guess I grew and evolved with them because I haven't been mad at anything they have put out (especially when hearing it live). The songs off Load and Reload are some of my favorites. I like Death Magnetic and am always amped when they play All Nightmare Long or The Day That Never Comes. HWTSD was great. I like these new ones so far too. However, I had so many idiot friends who burned their Metallica shirts when the Black Album came out, who ran over Load CD's with their cars lol. Met "fans" are an odd bunch. I do go to a LOT of shows and it always makes me laugh when The Memory Remains gets played. They whole crowd keeping that ending melody going forever and I KNOW those are some of the same people that called it trash.

[@tylerdude1982]

Bleeding Me is in the top 3 for Metallica songs for me. Great lyrics, excellent musicianship, and one of James’ best vocal performances if not his best.

I expected the juggernaut I saw on the video "Live s%@t: Binge & Purge"... and I got Garth Brooks in a metal band without a cowboy hat... And I certainly did not want to hear 'Nothing else matters' live both times... Kid Rock opened the first one I saw... (UGH!) and Limp Bizkit opened the other (BLEAH!) Was Machine Head or Dio unavailable??? 🤧 I had more fun seeing Slayer, Pantera, Megadeth, Arch Enemy, Iron Maiden, Judas Priest, Black Sabbath, etc. I had the same reaction seeing Manowar in concert... just awful performance... Red Hot Chili Peppers were great, but only played 1-and-half hours for $90... I saw Stryper live and they impressed me more! U wanna see a great metal band? Check out Flotsam & Jetsam in concert (former Metallica bassist Jason Newsted's old band) ... I went to see them open for Testament - no one knew them, but they whole club just went berserk after just 2 songs and their merch was almost sold out that night... everyone was buying their CD 'Ugly noise'.

The only reason these albums are trashed on is because it's not what the first albums sound like. It's not a bad thing that it's different. There's some really good music here.

Maybe if I just scream Temptation over and over, people won't realize I didn't write any lyrics.

This sounds like a song off of Load or Reload…it’s METALLICA!! Will ALWAYS be cool! Been listening to Metallica since 1988’s …and justice for all!

[@TJtheHAWK]

I'm glad they finally came to their senses and added the bass back into the mix more prominently. Good stuff

[@ecortes0929]

It’s a great Song!! I lIke it a lot!!

[@nickflores444]

I’m a Metallica enthusiast and I’m all over the new stuff every time. I really like this song but after watching your breakdown, I’m hearing it new all over again and I’m in love with it even more. I only wish the breakdown at the end was with a crash symbol instead of hi-hats to give it that more hardcore sound. Still amazing!

[@pigskinpoetry]

That's my favorite of the 3 new tracks released so far. It's for sure an ear worm. I've been humming it for a week straight.

[@DiGesoGino]

This song so badass, it's going to be crazy live

[@NordicMeatShield]

Pantera style riffing at the end, Dime would be proud ..you guys should check out 5 minutes alone by Pantera

[@CLJ7696]

They're not gonna touch anything involving Phil Anselmo unfortunately.

[@chrissutton2586]

I've watched these dudes go from not knowing who Metallica is.....to becoming Metallica experts and it's fucking awesome

[@germfood7235]

That was a classic Lost In Vegas transition reaction at the end there. love it haha

[@skalamaz3]

Been a fan since 1988, first heard Master of puppets. Sounds great to me.

[@MetalMcfly]

When you first paused and said "I feel like I've heard this little riff somewhere before, maybe a movie" .... You have. It's the same riff from The Shortest Straw (tweaked) off of the Justice album. The entire song is Shortest Straw 2.0 and you can sing this chorus over that song.

[@ShadowKiller571]

Tbh you can sing almost any metallica chorus over any other song cause like 90% of their songs are just riffs in E standard

[@chief45kc2572]

I think you are highlighting their lazy songwriting lol.

[@juniorlupercio1470]

I got the same vibes from that riff as well!

[@mindpurge2270]

@@chief45kc2572 I wouldn't call it lazy lol come on. It just works, and they know it.

LOVE the Wizard's Jordan analogy... "...seeing holes in the defense, still hittin' f*&!n' floaters..." Great stuff!
