OK, a few thoughts on this record, and most of them will be positive, only because I won't mention the music (much). What I'm going to mention is "BALLS". Which is what those five ... humans? are they still human? would humans make music like this???... have. They have balls. It takes a (possible destructive, most likely delusional) amount of confidence and ambition to make music like this, knowing (they must have known) how it would be received.
Or maybe no-one knew, and the problem with the record industry is that everyone who works in it is so stupid they should be placed under 24 hour supervision lest they forget how to swallow and then die while driving and kill children when their car crashes.
Anyway, this record has some pretty good music, and Metallica can be respected for doing something so atypical of them. There is no reason for them to do something like this. They risked a lot, and I respect them for it. I'm mystified that this record was made, and I can't believe it was released, and I suspect it may be a joke, but I respect Loutallica more than Coldplay, Kanye, and Lana Del Ray, but not more than Sugar Ray because I am Mark McGrath.
Here I was thinking you were one of the more level-headed EYKIW posters. This is the stupidest thing I've ever read! You like a shit album more than a good one (Coldplay, Kanye, Lana Del Ray) because a bunch of old, irrelevant musicians made something atypical and that translates as having balls?
I think redhill had more credibility with his Morrissey-Satellite of Love-360 connection.
