HARDWIRED... TO SELF-DESTRUCT

Holy crap, it's amazing.

u/Yuki November 17, 2016, 07:45:32 AM

IKR. Have another one, nice homage to Lemmy here.

u/novenary November 17, 2016, 07:49:59 AM

I can't find this one on the channel weirdly enough. Can't wait for tomorrow.

u/Yuki November 17, 2016, 08:32:50 AM

Yeah, it's unlisted on YouTube, but it's on their Facebook page.

Also you can probably find the entire album already on the internets.

u/novenary November 17, 2016, 08:34:20 AM

Ah OK. I'm on my phone and the mobile site doesn't show that a video is unlisted.

Awesome song. THanks for sharing. I might buy the album tomorrow evening if it's still in stock (I heard a worker at HMV say they will have 150 copies or so).

Also some people say that this new album will be a mix of both the old and new metallica stuff, but so far it seems that aside from this song, most shared songs are more like the old than DM was. Either way I can't wait to get a copy

It's something between Death Magnetic and their 90s stuff it seems.

u/Dream of Omnimaga November 17, 2016, 05:34:29 PM

I would say more their 80's stuff than Death Magnetic. The DM feel comes from the mixing overall I think. This new album sounds even closer to the 80's stuff but it definitively has influences from their 90's stuff too. Maybe they took less inspiration from Load and instead used Black album and Reload? Also I heard that one song will sound inspired from St Anger (perhaps not the drums?).

Also I just saw Juju shared another song on the previous page (the beginning reminds me a bit of some Ride the Lightning material). But they also posted Confusion:

Well I listen to a remixed version of Death Magnetic, it's more than just the mixing that makes the album tick. It's very different from their 80s stuff.

u/Dream of Omnimaga November 17, 2016, 05:50:47 PM

Yeah true. They tried with DM to go back to their roots, but it didn't work (well, it worked in the way that the result sounds good, but it's not even close to their actual roots). Seems like this time around they had more success, from the songs I heard so far.

I hope the mixing in the album won't have clipping like in DM.

u/Yuki November 18, 2016, 04:38:44 AM

Seems every song has a music video now. So you can listen to the whole album here:

CD1:

CD2:

Wow they really posted the entire album on their channel? I was gonna say at first I hoped you didn't post illegal download links, then I saw Youtube links so I figured, well... fine, but now I see it's from MetallicaTV. Even better.

Gonna listen soon

Now that makes me wish HMV or Renaud Bray over here were located outside shopping malls, because I bet they would have opened at 12 AM like some stores do during big game launches. Oh well, there's tomorrow

u/novenary November 18, 2016, 09:52:53 AM

I'm impressed, it's really good. Not as good as remastered Death Magnetic, but overall it's a great album. Pretty much a mashup of everything they've done so far. I love it.

u/aetios November 18, 2016, 09:58:21 AM

Just ordered the deluxe version \m/ Arrives tomorrow

u/Dream of Omnimaga November 18, 2016, 05:09:18 PM

I got my copy during dinner break. Wo

ohoo!

EDIT: Guys, my copy I got came with three CD's

(including Lords of Summer). It has about a dozen of recordings of either cover songs or live performances. Awesome.

EDIT: I have good news! The clipping problem seen in Death Magnetic is gone from this album. Or at least, it's nowhere close to as severe. Now it's on-par with Beyond Magnetic EP in terms of sound quality. Death Magnetic sound quality was just an absolute disaster.
