Maybe they're bored and just dicking with people. It was not sold out when I posted. I would keep checking. I'd bet it will probably pop up again.

I was going to do the indie red, but I used my legacy $10 promo code from when the paid MetClub died so it turned out to be cheaper than buying in store.

I just can't imagine paying to go see Metallica play live any more. Maybe if they could somehow miraculously play just the first four albums and play them well. hammertime 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
piky0032 Posted November 19, 2016 Share Posted November 19, 2016 The album is good......i'm happy after a couple of listens.....definitely not perfect and far from an RTL or AJFA but i was obviously expecting that. Once again.....the album could have been shorter......lots of shit could have been cut to make the songs flow a bit better and even just make it 1CD.......fuck having to get up and change a CD.....thats what the Hobby is for. Murder One i was not a fan of on the first listen and think that could have even been kept as a B side or bonus somewhere else......for a tribute to Lemmy its fell short for me. Every Metallica fan i know is going ape shit for Spit Out The Bone........i think the pearlers are the Load/Reload sounding riffy songs earlier.....Now That We're Dead.....Dream No More......Halo on Fire......Thats where im going to be doing the majority of listening Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ximperfectx Posted November 19, 2016 Share Posted November 19, 2016 From the artwork to the sound of at least a couple of the songs, I got a definite Load/ReLoad vibe from this album too. Favourites for me are: Hardwired, Moth To Flame, Atlas Rise and Spit Out The Bone. Still need to give it a few more decent listens though, because the middle seems to be a bit of a blur at the moment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vega Posted November 19, 2016 Share Posted November 19, 2016 I think the album has some killer songs in it...however it should have been shorter, some songs feel streched out needlessly just for the hell of it. An 8 minute song on MOP for example flies by and gets you involved while a song of this length seems endless on HTSD because there's not much variation going on. In my opinion the tracklist should have been: Hardwired Atlas, Rise! Now That We’re Dead Moth Into Flame Dream No More Confusion ManUNkind Murder One Spit Out The Bone A 9-Song Banger with no let down...And have Here comes revenge and the other 2 as a future b side for a single or make another EP with leftovers. I'm still struggeling on giving it a rank number since the production is so much better than death magnetics, but the artwork is just rediculously bad and the 12 song-record should have been a 9-song record imo. But maybe the others will grow on me...hopefully piky0032 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NapalmBrain Posted November 19, 2016 Share Posted November 19, 2016 (edited) it's better than the last 2, but nothing really stood out to me. Diehard fans shouldn't be too disappointed, but I'll continue to stick to the first 4. I worked the midnight release, was really cool to see a bunch of people come out, and they were all so excited so it made me happy. More importantly a new buddy of mine won the RTL boxset (3 LP, 6 CD, 2 DVD) we raffled off, got to check it out last night it was an impressive set. The live lp disc sounded great Edited November 19, 2016 by NapalmBrain piky0032 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xtobi-wanx Posted November 20, 2016 Share Posted November 20, 2016 For me, this record is the legitimate successor of the Black Album. Took them only 25 years... Load/Reload didn't do it for me, St. Anger is nothing to speak of and Death Magnetic also didn't click for me at all. This one does. A lot of hits (all previously released songs, of course Spit Out The Bone...) and some growers with a lot of cool parts in it. It's actually a contemporary Metallica record. Though, one could ask, whether Metallica are contemporary at all. Hardly any modern metal band today repeats a riff more than four times in a single part of a song. But Metallica is still all about riffing and they are doing it 8x or even 16x for each riff. So you get 80+ minutes of music, value for money, yes, but you have to let go of your listening habits. By the way, the red vinyl looks amazing. And, yes, there's music on it... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vinyl addict Posted November 20, 2016 Share Posted November 20, 2016 My wife picked up a signed copy of this at her work. She works for a radio station and they were doing their annual fundraiser/auctions. We scored it for a great deal. I'll post a pic up in a bit. Figures, I already ordered the red variant and it's on its way. piky0032 and psus2h 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While I'd like to see Metallica, I just don't think they'd put on half the show those dudes did, or from what I hear Maiden still does (also need to see them asap).

youspinmeround Posted November 21, 2016 Share Posted November 21, 2016 I saw Sabbath 3 years ago and they were still respectable The reunion tour in 99 with Pantera and Deftones opening was a great show. Glad I made that show. I ended up walking to the arena on a cold Feb night and scalping a ticket in the parking lot TheGhostOfRandySavage and vinyl addict 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GOTCHA Posted November 22, 2016 Share Posted November 22, 2016 I'm going to have to listen to all of these. Here Comes Revenge definitely sounds better faster. Spit Out The Bone was sick too, though some of the soloing felt off at that speed, and the drums sounded off in a few parts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
