    Absolute fantastic record one the bands finest the only downside is some tracks feel more like filler and could have used more work. That said the album features many Metallica classics.

      Pretty disappointing overall, especially given the 8 plus years wait between albums. As highlighted below the album starts off at a decent clip, opening track Hardwired a cracking three minutes of energy (though personally for me the chorus is well cheesy). Atlas Rise, similarly hits the mark, loving the Maiden style guitar harmonies towards the end.
      Trouble is the longer this album goes on, the worse it gets. Some of the tracks are woefully forgettable filler. Murder One I feel particularly bad, especially given the songs subject.
      Far too long and just nowhere near good enough, certainly not the return to form that certain reviewers would have you believe.

          As for the CD and digital releases (Vinyl seems to be good, as expected by the format): no dynamics, it's very compressed, not as badly as DM but it's still bad at Album DR6. As for the music itself, the album starts out just fine, nothing amazing but good, then it drops to mediocre and plainly boring, especially the 2nd set with Load era style of songs. All and all very mediocre and boring album. And there's the compression/brickwalled problem. Will not buy. Not even if the compression problem is fixed in some new edition/remaster.

            Great dynamic sound. Classic Metallica - many times closer to their "master of puppets" times. Great mastering from BG. About color limited edition? I don't know what to say & i think it's NOT strictly limited...METALLICA is a famous band (even my 65 years old aunt likes them) & money...is money! So, it will be unlimited...or soon it will be repressed...

              No reason for the album to be on 2 CDs. Load was slightly longer than this album, and it still fit on one CD.
