action Posted December 24, 2016 Share Posted December 24, 2016 now that i've let the album sink in a little, i have to say i'm a little underwhelmed. when it's good it's up there with their best work (spit out the bone, hardwired, atlas rise) but the rest is a little bit "meh". some observations: - they sound like some of these modern pop/rock bands in places. i can't name some of these bands, simply because new bands don't interest me, but i can hear they are trying to much to sound "modern". bad thing. modern sucks. - second half is the weaker side. some say it sounds like (re)load but i have to disagree. it's just sounding tired and dragging, while (re)load at least sounded alive and vibrant. in fact, hardwired has confirmed what great albums load and reload were. hardwired isn't - james' voice sounds better, but who am i kidding. he still doesnt sound like anything pre "st anger" - it's better than death magnetic, because that album had unacceptable production and james' voice sounded ridiculous in places. all my personal opinion of course Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any idea if the number of discs impact the numbers i.e. is it 52,000 copies or 26,000 copies x2 as it's double disc? Also wondering whether it only needs 500k to go platinum as that'd be a million discs shipped (or even less if the three disc copies count). Not really sure how it all works these days. It's not really clear, I believe album sales are counted twice for RIAA certifications. SoundScan has never doubled sales of 2cd albums. So I think you're right Hardwired is already or soon to be Platinum for 500K album sales. Along with streaming services (1500 streams = 1 album sold) and separate track (10 tracks sold = 1).

Fitha_whiskey Posted January 15, 2017 Share Posted January 15, 2017 The more I listen to this album, the more I like it. If you're a Metallica fan, I really don't know what more you could possibly want from them as far as a new album in 2016/17. ? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wasted Posted January 15, 2017 Share Posted January 15, 2017 I listened to it a couple of times, it doesn't have anything they haven't done better before. It's like formica on a kitchen table to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DieselDaisy Posted January 15, 2017 Share Posted January 15, 2017 It is a good album and most seem to think so. You two don't like it simply because it makes a mockery of your excuses for Axl's laziness. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dcon Posted January 15, 2017 Share Posted January 15, 2017 I've keyed in on Confusion as my favorite. Seems a great blend of Justice music, Black solos, and Load vocals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Black Sabbath Posted January 18, 2017 Share Posted January 18, 2017 They should be playing all of the first disc minus Atlas Rise and add Spit Out The Bone. Good setlist though! Glad they're mixing it up quite a bit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
