Metallica is a metal band... they started as Thrash/Heavy metal band with some progressive traits, they were never full on thrash band. They have hard blues rock here and there, but this album is very like classic heavy metal and speed metal combined with that Load/black album style... People just calling them rock because they aren't super fast or thunderous like many generic thrash metal bands nowdays... We can hear so much Sabbath, Motorhead, Iron Maiden, Merciful fate, Misfits... vibes on this album... Sounds very similar to Garage inc... It's just that today metal morphed in whole other style then it was back in its' hayday... Also, most lyrical themes in the songs don't fall in the rock style category... I was reading comments where people called 72 seasons a rock song....😕
That's why i never want to be a metalhead/metal purist because i won't be able to enjoy anything if i became too judgy. I listen to other genres too other than rock/metal as long they click with my taste. Thank god my taste in music isn't restricted into one genre only.
Metallica has evolved to the style that suits them best , and I think it’s working for them . They still incorporate the best in the past with the new.
I love the solos on this album, they’re not that great technically, but I like them. What I love about this band is that everything sounds like them, the drums sound like Lars, vocals and riffs are 100% hetfield style, and the solos of course classic Kirk
4:25 haha, I like how everyone’s nervous b4 the kirk solo. But I loved this solo, 3rd best solo on the album for me, 1 - inamorata ( last one ) 2 - screaming scuicide 1st solo 3- Sleepwalk my life away
AMAZING how well you can hear the bass! THIS is currently my favorite song. I am a bit Bias as a Bassist to this song thew bass is SO FAT but then again this entire album just feels like the FINALLY turned the bass up in the studio. I definably dig watching your reaction to Metallica stuff. EASY my favorite all time band GOAT for me. But I enjoy your open minded take. Seems if you didn't notice that he DOES actually lay off the whammy its not in EVERY solo this time.,., But i'm not big on solos anyways i prefer a good rhythm album with no solos TBH for me FANCY is a good rhythm and vocal like this i don't need to see solos on every song. Also not "jamming themself into specific shapes" THAT IS WHY THEY ARE MY FAV BAND! Open minded and not all the same as the 1st 3 damn albums... I'm not crazy about bands who NEVER stray or try new things #MetallicaRules Anyways thumbs up thanks for another great reaction VOD 🤘 #HornsUp 🤘
I love this set of videos (the first 5-6 they put out with the "band playing" and the noises at the start and end). Not a big fan of the others. Some of these songs are like amplified late 90s songs and I love it.
I was wondering. Have you heard the Kirk Hammett EP Portals? Cause his stuff there is just excellent. Like day and night compared to what you are listening in these new Metallica songs.
It's mostly about Kirk Hammett the composer and producer, than Kirk Hammett the guitar player...., even though those few solos there have some more feel to them...
They were hinting and reflecting so much on this album... Inamorata and My friend of Misery, Room Of Mirrors and Broken Beat And Scared.... Lux Aeterna and Hit The Lights, Chasing light and No remorse... and I heard some more hooks and tweaks that resemble older songs... Also the parts that remind of Sabbath, Mislfits, Iron Maiden.... It's like they were doing it on purpose as the album theme is about your earlier past, and how it reflects and shapes your future....
This is a metal album straight up. May not be super thrash but it's the best they put out since BO. Death Magnetic was thrashier, but in all this is a solid album from Metallica in decades. Takes a few listens but the best albums in history never sound balls out the 1st run. Keep that in mind kids.
Cool reaction I didn't like song in beginning but after 10x listen to it it GD for my ears Been fan since 84 so I seen the best awesome 👍👍 of Metallica in there career this Could be last decade for them hopefully one more album from them
Good video, enjoyed the opinions! Something about these songs feel a bit "old"? Maybe it's just other genres of metal but other songs I listen to feel less repetitive. Gives me Death Magnetic vibes though.
After watching your reactions, I've noticed a common theme - Kirk's solos. This probably doesn't help, but Kirk did not write the solos from a technical standpoint on this album. He listened to the tracks laid down then went wild, letting his emotions and the music take him where ever it did. That's why his solos have been so erratic.
Then live he can play whatever in solo part... For example there are few solos you want to hear him pull off live... Like Fade To Black, Sanitarium , One, Unforgiven, MOP, Dyers Eve.... Those memorable ones... On other songs he can play whatever just if it is in chord progression...
Really sucks Kirk came out and Said that he is Just gonna Use Pentatonic’s because it’s the “Hardest” to make Solos because only 5 notes and basically Just Shat on Sweep picking and said He “Knows” his Modes but really makes it sound like he’s a 60 Year old man just Hating on the New Kids instead of Evolving and Learning new tricks.
@@Chainbrain i actually kirk's solo fits metallica's riff quite perfectly. I've been playing guitar, and listening to metal music for like 15 years and kirk's unpolished - raw, very raging pentatonic style of solos are best fit to metallica's straight forward in-your-face styled riffs
@@Chainbrain I agree it’s his Style and I guess to me he just sounded arrogant and with the comments about Modes again it just sounded Arrogant. I just wish He would get out of the Pentatonic Mindset and come at solos a little differently with some new techniques. Because it just sucks when he solo’s, everyone just goes “Yeah Just another Kirk Solo”. I know that in my Original post it sounds like I’m Shitting on Kirk but it’s just more of Frustration out of anything.
Kirk’s solos are so boring. Just sounds like he walked in blind and played the most basic pentatonic crap without any planning. The guy can do better so that’s what makes is so annoying
100%. this isnt even comparable to his outro solo from fade to back (his best of all time imo). the melody is what gave it the soul (also: absolutely insane that he wrote that in his early 20s)
I like this song, maybe that vocal hook the most. But it's the weakest on the album, probably. Feels like the one song that's a bit forced. They wanted that, 'single' sounding song 'a la sandman/king nothing'.
The guy that can't hear what tuning the song is in......... but wants to add his opinion or criticism..... you lost me there and any real musician that was following you. Spend more time researching Bosley
That "Oh god ok, here we go" basically summarises all my reactions to Kirk starting his solos
ONG
James voice is such a godsend for real. Aged like fine freaking wine
He sounds better for sure!? Amen. How anyone can't comprehend it fast enough is beyond me. Not a mention.
You're wrong he is sober
They let Rob cook on this album.
Bro 😂❤
I love how audible Rob is on this album. His bass is always rumbling in the background

If you want to find them search under “thrash”.😂

@Ben Kraze You summarized how I feel
The verse is different, but I think it adds contrast that you’re not expecting. It works.
There some good songs here man , I’m telling you that band gonna make it big!!!
Their first album after debuting on Stranger Things!
Metallica has evolved to the style that suits them best , and I think it’s working for them . They still incorporate the best in the past with the new.
this comment is on almost every thread. its gettin old haha
Jamie Shawcross I really like Metallica!!!
The first guitar riff is straight out of Lords of Summer :D
I love the solos on this album, they’re not that great technically, but I like them.
What I love about this band is that everything sounds like them, the drums sound like Lars, vocals and riffs are 100% hetfield style, and the solos of course classic Kirk
gotta love metal, no matter how prominent the bass is the camera is always on the guitarists instead 😂
EARLY CREW LETS GO!!!
Played this on RS This is a pretty good song!
4:25 haha, I like how everyone’s nervous b4 the kirk solo.
But I loved this solo, 3rd best solo on the album for me,
1 - inamorata ( last one )
2 - screaming scuicide 1st solo
3- Sleepwalk my life away
the first solo from ss is actually a deep purple solo lmao
@@spazap 2nd *
I like getting a new video everyday for this ❤
Just was on your live I loved it keep doing what you do
Heyyyy thanks for jumping stream and ending up over here! We'll be live on twitch tomorrow if you're into that sort of thing!

*During the solo, I glued his hands to that one fret. Sorry about that
hahahahaha

Anyone else notice that half of the verse riff is Enter Sandman in reverse?
I was wondering. Have you heard the Kirk Hammett EP Portals? Cause his stuff there is just excellent. Like day and night compared to what you are listening in these new Metallica songs.
I played one and have it ready for an upload but then a small album called 72 seasons dropped, hahaha
@@Chainbrain Heard stuff about that album apparently from some small band trying to make it big.
It's mostly about Kirk Hammett the composer and producer, than Kirk Hammett the guitar player...., even though those few solos there have some more feel to them...
Portals is awesome
The melody at the beginning reminds me of Enter Sandman.
Sandman - Sleepwalking 🤔
They were hinting and reflecting so much on this album... Inamorata and My friend of Misery, Room Of Mirrors and Broken Beat And Scared.... Lux Aeterna and Hit The Lights, Chasing light and No remorse... and I heard some more hooks and tweaks that resemble older songs...
Also the parts that remind of Sabbath, Mislfits, Iron Maiden.... It's like they were doing it on purpose as the album theme is about your earlier past, and how it reflects and shapes your future....
Inamorata next?
mayyyyyybe?
@@Chainbrain woohoo
@Chainbrain dude, you gotta i absolutely love that song
@@claspingwevil514 I honestly don’t know why people like it so much. Way too long and painfully simple. At least from a guitar players point of view.
@@diegoramirez8674 thats fair honestly.. idk i just love the chorus and how it sounds.. for me 11 min is nothin
This is a metal album straight up. May not be super thrash but it's the best they put out since BO. Death Magnetic was thrashier, but in all this is a solid album from Metallica in decades. Takes a few listens but the best albums in history never sound balls out the 1st run. Keep that in mind kids.
After while this is one i keep listening from the album
LET THE MAN COOK jesus. Yea this the first song i listened off the album where i felt it would be a banger off the rip.
I liked that one. It's not my favorite thing to listen to, but it sounded pretty good. Thought you articulated your thoughts on it really well.
Definitely fell Rob's groove influence on this one, I like it.
Your inital reaction is mine to the entire album lol
Cool reaction I didn't like song in beginning but after 10x listen to it it GD for my ears Been fan since 84 so I seen the best awesome 👍👍 of Metallica in there career this Could be last decade for them hopefully one more album from them
Good video, enjoyed the opinions! Something about these songs feel a bit "old"? Maybe it's just other genres of metal but other songs I listen to feel less repetitive. Gives me Death Magnetic vibes though.
Its nice to see actual criticism and not just you saying you like the songs, but also i will say you seem very hard to please lol
It's a typical Rob Trujillo riff, Nice song.
this song reminds me of king nothing from load
Really like this one.
Banger of a tune.
Has anyone ever told you how much you sound like Brian Posehn?
A few people have actually haha

@@Shiljamannn he always plays one and mop right
Wassup chain
getting ready to stream on twitch, u?
@@Chainbrainlearning every song on this album while watching you react to it lol
I really like this 😛💣💚
Why i feel the enter sandman vibe, but maybe its only me...
Hello
helo
The verse sucks the life out of the groove it starts.
Really sucks Kirk came out and Said that he is Just gonna Use Pentatonic’s because it’s the “Hardest” to make Solos because only 5 notes and basically Just Shat on Sweep picking and said He “Knows” his Modes but really makes it sound like he’s a 60 Year old man just Hating on the New Kids instead of Evolving and Learning new tricks.
I read the interview and I don't think he's hating on anyone, thats a weird way to look at it. He has his style and that's the way he wants to play.
@@Chainbrain i actually kirk's solo fits metallica's riff quite perfectly. I've been playing guitar, and listening to metal music for like 15 years and kirk's unpolished - raw, very raging pentatonic style of solos are best fit to metallica's straight forward in-your-face styled riffs

I actually didn't like this song that much 😅
This guy new metal head no tattoos would have flipped his shit
wat
I love 80% of the album but this one just doesn’t do it for me. The second worst of the bunch for me. But I’m glad other ppl like it
I like this song, maybe that vocal hook the most. But it's the weakest on the album, probably.
Feels like the one song that's a bit forced. They wanted that, 'single' sounding song 'a la sandman/king nothing'.

They had a good run but this is my least favorite album out of all their work..
That’s absolutely shocking
