The REAL Goobusters posted:Not gonna lie. All this new stuff sounds exactly like the band that made Death Magnetic and Hardwired... to Self-Destruct to me. you could have told me 72 seasons was a deep cut off of either of those albums and i'd have believed you the only song off the new metallica album i like is the non-existent version of lux aeterna they plays at 1.25x speed - that song has good riffs, it's just too slow. the rest have been that sort of milquetoast mix of hard rock and thrash with the edges sanded off that's indicative of the last 15 years of metallica and i find 95% of it to be uninspired.

on the eve of a new metallica album i'm going to post good metallica content i've been working on learning disposable heroes on guitar and listened through the demo tapes tonight - their initial take on the song has the solo riff from damage inc in it and it's loving sick https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bxn3cEv0rbA

i think every double album i've heard has at least a single album's worth of chaff on it i don't like dethklok or babymetal all that much but i think it's cool they exist and will get people into metal

i am spinning up the new metallica instead of renting heat which is what i want to be doing with the next hour of my life at the momentsymbolic posted:actually the greatest thrash album of all time is either Rust in Peace or By Inheritance rust is top tier but dawn patrol is a slog to fill out 2 minutes which puts it below ride the lightning imo. solid second though. i need to listen to more artillery.

well i listened to 72 seasons i fully expected the entire album to be uninspired, lifeless thrash with the edges sanded off like the singles and i'd just make a shitpost and move on/talk about good music. metallica still had a decent thrash song in them seven years ago (the title track to hardwired is great) but i got 11 tracks into this one and i don't think they have it in them anymore. the attempts at energy are uninspired and they just sound old, in a way i feel like they didn't on death magnetic or hardwired. then they swerved on me and inamorata is like, their 90s rock output viewed through the lens of stoner metal. the lyrics are dumb and repetitive but it's the most inspired and enjoyable songwriting on the album - the riffs are more interesting than the thrashier bits and it builds in a satisfying way that, if not as good as their classics, manages to evoke them. i kind of wish metallica had leaned into that inspiration rather than phoning in an attempt to recapture their youth. give me load mixed with sleep - it probably wouldn't be good but it would at least be interesting, which is a lot more than can be said for metallica's output the past two decades. i'm going to go listen to good music now.

Henchman of Santa posted:You should check out the Anachronism album from earlier this year. this is great, thanks for the shout. always looking to hear this kind of dissonance done well and they did something cool by leaning a bit more into melody than i'd normally expect - gives some catharsis while listening.

Nazzadan posted:Oh I forgot that it was that Wintersun sounding band, nice I'll hit that next i thought atavistia's earlier material was fun in how shameless it was and perfectly competent, but didn't have much sticking power past that cosmic warfare seems like it's actually really good and a step up in terms of their songwriting chops. pretty sure i'll like this more than whatever comes next from jari maenpaa, and i definitely like it more than forest seasons on first blush. i'm excited to give it multiple spins.

Nazzadan posted:Friday so time for new poo poo this is a monster loving debut, holy poo poo. taking a lot of influence from cynic - fretless bass, synth work, prog feel - and some gorguts-esque dissonance and song structure with some doom metal to make it even weirder. one of those spins that starts out more straightforward then takes you on a fuckin journey.

silvergoose posted:you weren't kidding, this is good poo poo the final track, where they lean a little more into the doom/synth/chanting, is definitely the highlight of the ep, but i've also got to point out that the lead guitar work across the entire record is some of the craziest shred i've heard in a while. i hope they end up putting out a full album
