People are over analyzing Kirk WAY TOO HARD on the back of this album. The dude is legendary and insanely talented. And he’s written what makes sense for these songs. Love the dude. People need to relax. These guys have earned their place as metal royalty.
Metallica is at the stage at the career where they aren't going to reinvent the wheel. This album takes bits from their past, their influences, and rolls it into a great heavy record. Kirk has his style of yanking on the pentatonic scale, and it is what it is. It's what he does. My only complaint would be they're a bit long winded at times.
exactly man, kirk has earned his place as a legendary guitarist. he doesn't need to have any more tricks up his sleeve. as far as i'm concerned, he isn't doing half bad.
Kirk is absolutely a legend, a guitarist who has inspired incredibly many guitarists and someone who has written some of the most remarkable solos in music ever. HOWEVER nowadays Kirk is absolutely a shell of his former self. Most solos in later albums are usually him just doodling in pentatonic and abusing WAH sounds. These solos here are actually ok, but it's also partly because some of the solos Kirk has written on this new album are imo either incredibly generic or just bad. It just sucks that one of the most legendary guitarists ever is not pushing himself to write better solos and is just nowadays writing mostly mediocre solos
What’s weird to me is that Kirk released a solo album/EP that was really good. In “Maiden and the monster” he was sweeping and used different modes and ran through different minor scales. On this album he didn’t. Even in blackened 2022, his solo was Phrygian. I’ve seen videos of Lars directing kirk to only use pentatonic on previous records. (Obviously Lars doesn’t know that and is only going off how it sounds).
@@alebarajas3045 I just listened to this song & granted he plays in some minor scales, I didn't hear any "sweeping". It was much more melodic though, I'll definitely give you that.
I watched all your reactions for this album. I really loved your reactions and it really helped me see another perspectives of the each song on the album. Keep it up man.
This is easily the hidden gem and best song on the album. Coming Later in the Album and not being pre-released was sneeky. This song incorporates every Metallica style and tone ever played in 1 song. Its going to be fucking great live to hear that Harmonized section .
This is my second favorite riff on the album after Shadows Follow! But what I think of now when I hear the harmonies is the recent interview video where the interviewer asked James how it felt to invent a whole genre, and Jame....ever the humble man he is....didn't take that claim. He said his gift are the melodies and riffs he creates. And he is not wrong in that!
72S has been getting a lot of well-deserved praise and I'm glad. It has a few stinky moments, like anything, but then you have bangers like this song, Room Of Mirrors, and Inamorata, as well as a bunch of just plain ole' good tracks like Shadows Follow and Darkness. THE HARMONIES!!!! 😂
let's rock, man I love Metallica more than life itself, I listen when at my job, at the gym, in the morning when I'm going to work and most strange, when I'm going to sleep, in bed 😂
Put the album on the mow the lawn a couple weeks ago. Glad someone else picked out almost all the same songs as me as bangers and also stinkers... Could be because I play guitar as well and listen for it specifically... But yeah, some early/mid tracks were a slog to get through. The vocals are fantastic on this album too. I haven't seen any live clips of them playing too far gone. mirrored room or inamorta yet, which is a real shame.. Hopefully they play them live soon. Too far gone and in a mirrored room almost feel like solid death magnetic tracks. Inamorta almost reminds me of Fixxer and Unforgiven III, but as you said, it manages to not feel like an 11 minute song. Glad the album had some songs that gave me that "I need to listen to that again" and goosebumps feeling.
I think the growing consensus with the last 3 Metallica albums is that they can still write good metal songs but just not maybe consistently for an entire album. Take the best songs from Death Magnetic, Hardwired and 72 Season and put them on one album and that is a killer album.
The worst Metallica album ever (after St. Anger, of course)! Without even one really good song! And it's so pity for me as 53 y.o. really old fan, because between 1983 and 2003 this was my favorite band... This album is a shame! Good reaction, dude! Best wishes from Bulgaria, Europe!
That fast riff at the end of the chorus, along with that ending harmonic section are just cream of the crop on this album
high point for sure!
Timelapse ?

James said he was actually the one that wrote all the Melodies on the album. Greatest rhythm guitarist to grace this earth
Cliff himself teached him about harmonies, and that reflects on his first one that was on Fight fire with fire, just SICC
Agreed the man is legendary!
This and Inamorata are my 2 favorites. Such a good song.
The intro of the second solo remembers me a solo from Kill' em all
Is the song Jump In The Fire by any chance?
@@ronantheblee1225 Yeah, I think it's that
I watched all your reactions for this album. I really loved your reactions and it really helped me see another perspectives of the each song on the album. Keep it up man.
just doing my best out here
You made a good choice going for the lyric vid.
I did all these videos on Saturday so lots of the visualizer videos weren't up yet!
@Chainbrain The actual music video is atrocious anyway. Probably would’ve ruined your experience honestly. Metallica got scammed for that video lol.
@@willharry6835Well thank Christ we now have a better video to solidify the song
I love this song so much. It's touching.
It would have make it in Every Metallica album. So good
3:56 love that bend behind the vocals from kirk. that fits so perfectly there!

Im gunna lose my shit when they play this, room of mirrors and inamorata live bro❤
I hear a bit of Blietzkrieg in that riff, but thats cool, nice chorus..
I think it's more like "No remorse", but I can understand some hear "Blitzkrieg".
Love your eyes at the guitar harmonies! I knew you were gonna love that!
That riff ❤ banger. Could listen to it forever
Yeah love this track!
One of my fav chorus' of the album
2nd part of thus song is a banger bro I love ittttt
this song has everything ❤
Been on straight 10 + plays...major fuckin' killer!!! You can feel the emotional tension and badassness put into this bad mother fucker!!! 🤘🤠🤘
This is my second favorite riff on the album after Shadows Follow!

THE HARMONIES!!!! 😂
i recently bought this album and its a holy fire of a beautiful sound the way everything is interacting the guitars and the drums simply masterpiece

Thanks for watching and share with your friends! Is this the year of 100k subs? :o
@@Chainbrain 100%!
let's rock, man I love Metallica more than life itself, I listen when at my job, at the gym, in the morning when I'm going to work and most strange, when I'm going to sleep, in bed 😂
thank you for reacting to my favorite song from 72 Seasons!
2:34 me when I see booba
Just so you know, the official video for Inamorata was released a few hours ago, so use that one for reaction bro!!

Familiar and yet new song. I am loving this totally

Minus the lazy solos and drum parts, sure
Plain vanilla yogurt had me crying bro 😂😂😂
People saying it sounds like astrology near the end even though they covered it on the garage inc album/b side.
That mini Kirk solo was awesome
This song listens great speeding on the interstate.
I'm on the fence with this album. I don't know it I like it , or want to like it but I this is my absolute favorite from this album.
I also think the harmonies sound better cos they contrast all the chuggy riffs
favorite song on the album
JUMP IN THE FIIIYAAA!!!
It’s a banger from the first bars.
This is a rad song
Great reaction! I'm so glad you reacted to the lyric video lol Offical video is distracting, to say the least.
I want the harmony to last forever man ffs
really nice
you are really nice
Easily my favorite song on the album, one of Metallica's best ever imo
Top ten song of there’s ever
Almost 69k🎉 nice
