I really love their song Gimme Chocolate, but I listened to all of Babymetal's new album and I've forgotten it already.

My 7yo was heavy into GIMME CHOCOLATE to the point where it's banned in our house and I wish we could timetravel forward like ten years, go to the show together, and go back just to see their face when it goes live

For whatever reason, we thought that girls would like metal if the bad had a female vocalist. God I was so cringe back in the day with that poo poo...

Anyone going to the Metallica 72 Seasons Global Premiere event in theaters tonight?quote:Be the first to hear the band’s new album, 72 Seasons, the day before its release, on the big screen with pummeling surround sound in this special event exclusively in cinemas for one night only. 72 Seasons is Metallica’s long-awaited 12th studio album, preceded by first single “Lux Æterna”— hailed upon its November 28, 2022, release as “thundering, breakneck” (Billboard), “gut-punching” (Rolling Stone) and “blistering” (USA Today). 72 Seasons - Global Premiere will feature exclusive interviews with Metallica, with the full band delving into the origins and stories behind the songs and accompanying music videos for every track on the album. The result will be a one-night-only opportunity for fans to experience 72 Seasons first and fully. There will also be a few surprises on the night that you won’t want to miss! We look forward to welcoming you all to this historic night in cinemas around the world. It's playing at a couple theaters near me, but I'm not excited enough about the album to drive to a theater to see this. Maybe if the past couple singles had been good and not just Lux Aeterna.

Not ashamed to admit I 100% buy it when Portnoy growls "FREEDOM... SERENITY... HAPPINESS..." at the end of every line in The Shattered Fortress. It's stupid on paper but I'm being kayfabe with it because the song owns so much.

I did one of these for Radioheads “Amnesiac” and won some promo CDs that may have been worth something if I held onto em. I say check it out if you can - it’s cool listening to an album in a theatre.

I've only listened to it once, but 72 Seasons for me is the first Metallica album that is...aggressively nothing. Like 'em or hate 'em. Load, Reload, St. Anger were all a thing. Death Magnetic was an attempted "return to form" from St. Anger. I felt like Hetfield was happy to be playing some properly thrashy fun riffs again so it wasn't just a "return to form" for the fans. Hardwired was a refinement of Death Magnetic. Like they've all had a vibe. The singles released from 72 Seasons is a great snapshot of the album. Lyrically it feels like they're stuff that "people think rock music fans would like" and...well so do the riffs. There's still great Hetfield moments. Kirk also has a few genuinely great moments. The production is half decent this time, it doesn't feel\sound squashed to hell except Hetfield's guitar isn't as aggressive as you'd expect and is kinda a more overdriven AC\DC rather than the mid-scooped, thuddy joy. Rob's bass gets a few moments of awesome too. ... But remember how Disturbed got a bit of fame from their Sound Of Silence cover? Then their next album had like 4 acoustic ballads which were obviously targeting people who got the new album because they liked Sound Of Silence? This feels like an album made to target people who liked the Metallica scene in Stranger Things. The whole thing feels like it's an album made for what people who THINK Metallica\Rock fans would like. With a few genuinely kickass riffs sprinkled throughout. I would suggest they had a bunch of kickass riffs sitting around on their riff tapes, but I feel like management told Metallica to put out an album ASAP with what they had. And...oddly enough, that hurts more than them releasing something genuinely bad. I wonder if it's the super clean high-production value which is making it feel so "corporate" for me, so I'm hoping the album improves with a few listens, but I honestly couldn't tell you how half the songs went after the first listen.

I listened to the album today while driving around for work. It felt like... metal elevator music? Almost nothing stood out. Hardwired at least had a song or 2 I dug, same with Death Magnetic. But this one just bleed from one song to the next. TeamJesus fucked around with this message at 05:07 on Apr 14, 2023 |

congratulations on Metallica for apparently recording an album that sounds like it would play in the "big concert" episode of a sitcom and be referred to as 'devil music' by the father who was dragged along after he stormed out

THAT BEING SAID. 72 Seasons being meh doesn't suddenly make the recording of ...And Justice For All suck. That is still easily the greatest Thrash Metal album of all time, with the two nearest contenders being Master Of Puppets and Ride The Lightning.

I listened to it as well but I feel like it's for people who think "good" music only existed 30-40 years ago. The 90s was 30 years ago! I appreciate people who dig it but it's really not for me. IMO it's ignoring all of the good thrash that has come out since st. anger. I actually liked some riffs in Death Magnetic!H13 posted:This feels like an album made to target people who liked the Metallica scene in Stranger Things.

If it gets people into metal or metal-lite then I'm all for it. Just not for me.
