72 SEASONS

People Have been overly critical on this album, This is just about as good as Metallica gets, especially for heavy prog rock lovers. There's a real influence of old school prog like Motorhead but in a really new fresh way, the songs are quite progressive in nature (72 seasons, Inamorata 11mins long) together with some of the wickedest guitar solos from Kirk.

The mix has a lot of depth in a spatial audio sense so if you have a good hi fi rig this is a good listen although it lacks the presence in general but Metallica is aiming for intensity, density and power in their sound.

At the bare minimum it's a great album, not a absolute die hard masterpiece but a very good album and it's worth adding to the collection, keep supporting artists to do what they do.
