Abuse, Depression, Suicide. A lot the older songs James wrote too. Kinda funny how Metallica won me over with just the music side of it when I was younger (I'm a guitar player), I understood the lyrics, but I just didn't actually "feel" them. Now in my early 30s I've been to a psych ward, rehab, abused a handful of substances, ODd, made mistakes, life experience, etc and going back to Metallica now I can empathize much more with the hell James lived through, and I'm worried about his mental state, as he's going through a divorce and shit. He opened up to a crowd about his depression not too long ago. Hope he's ok and knows he's made a positive impact in a lot of people's lives.

[@cms7361]

This whole album is amazing. James voice is better than ever. Whoever produced this did an excellent job with the sound

[@EmpyreanLightASMR]

I think it's the same guy, Greg Fidelman; he's still annoying me. The sound is the best since ReLoad, but while no longer clipping, it's still brickwalled. I feel like Lux Aeterna is the only song with a bit of room for the reverb, which that song seems to have a lot of. I got back to Lightning or Muppets or Load to hear the breathing room.

[@staygold902]

Over produced in my opinion

[@ThrashRebel]

At least he is isn’t doing the squealing in this song. Thanks to Bob Rock’s influence, I think since “The Black Album,” he’s tried too hard and got pretty cheesy. He’s much better when he just sings as himself and doesn’t try to add all of the “artifacts” in like squeals, et cetera.

[@ThrashRebel]

@@staygold902 everything they’ve done has been over-produced since “the black album.” They, clearly, were more concerned with radio play and profits. Most of the other “big four” bands have stayed fairly true to themselves. But, then again, maybe James and Lars are staying true to themselves. Maybe their political awareness and desire for complexity was just a phase. Maybe they changed and no longer care about the state of the nation, the state of the people, the death of democracy, the ravages of war. Maybe now, they just want to write music that is simple to play and people can shake their booties to it. However, I will give them respect for this song. It’s got a dark feel. I’ve got to give some respect. Metallica had a little an influence on me when I started writing thrash metal and playing in bands. Although, admittedly, I was MORE (musically) influenced Hexanhaus, Overkill and Death Angel. Jame’s vocal style definitely (originally) influenced my style. I just wish they would care about social issues, again. They have the power to influence people, wake them the f… up. But, I guess, once some people become wealthy, they become detached from the struggles of people who are less affluent. I guess they no longer care about service members who get used like pawns in illegal wars. I cared, in my teens. I joined (for financial reasons). I served in an illegal invasion. So, my level of care about corruption only increased with age. I just wish Jame’s still cared about service members, and other who struggle. He used to care about freedom and had a dislike for corruption. I wish he still would.

Not being a dick so I apologize if it comes off that way. But if you been listening since 85 how can you say this is even close to the Metallica we grew up with? Just curious about your opinion is all. Cause this is not what I heared when I first dropped the Master of Puppets in the tape deck.
