I remember how everyone hyped that album to be their great return to form. Now that I think about it, the exact same thing happened with Death Magnetic. Fuck nutallica, even st. anger is more entertaining than anything that came after
Anthony Watson
I remember in American Dad there was an episode with James Hetfield.
The two songs featured in the episode:
>Master of Puppets
Yeah!
>Death Magnetic
NO! How could they screw up picking that song instead of a classic?!
Brandon Torres
it's unironically a step backwards from St. Anger.
Jason Harris
try listening to this remaster of hardwired. worth it.
Kayden Brown
>>Death Magnetic
what song is that?
Levi Perry
Lol.
I meant all Nightmare Long.
Ryder Jenkins
Spit Out The Bone it's the only good song in that awful album
Samuel Powell

If this was released in the '80s, everyone would cum all over it and tell you how it is quintessential Metallica.
Carter Cook
bullshit
Noah Cooper
We're so fucked
Shit outta luck
Hardwired to self destruct
Bentley Ramirez
Once a band stops evolving artistically, they become a tribute act of who they once were. This happened to Metallica following the backlash over St. Anger.
Every majorly successful band has this happen to them at some point - they get old and decide they no longer want to take any risks. So they just endlessly reheat what they think was their best sound, and they end up becoming generic.
Juan Gray
and then we have Maiden who make 80 minute long albums full of filler
Landon Perry
Their only good album was Kill em All
They immediately sold out right after that
Gabriel Johnson
Maiden's last real evolution came with BNW, when they took Bayley's sound and combined it with Bruce/Adrian, who had a little extra to bring to the table. Fear of the Dark was an early example of this genericness showing through after people rejected NPFTD. Everything since Dance of Death is basically the same album, just another volume.
Samuel Long
Why is every song like 10 fucking minutes, but goes nowhere?
David Kelly
Because Hetfield desperately needed someone other than Ulrich, who clearly doesn't care anymore, to help arrange the songs and offer input
He's still an absolute riff-monster with the capacity to write heavy stuff, but there's just so much low-effort unfocussed bullshit like Halo on Fiyah and cringe-inducing lyrics like 'Now that we're dead my dear..."
It will never happen. They've had their youthful glories, and now they're just eternally basking in the afterglow. Hardwired was just an exercise in self-indulgence.
Oliver Howard
>He's still an absolute riff-monster
why I can't hate this album, like OP does. it's not one of the greats, but still.
Charles Evans
Agreed. Hetfield's great, the songs just lack focus, and they need a producer to rein them in, if they can't do it themselves
