Metallica- "Hardwired... to self-destruct" Album review





Today is the day that many people have been waiting for, for months are maybe years! Today, ladies and gentlemen, is the official release date of the tenth Metallica full-length album "Hardwired... to self-destruct"

After the release of the first single "Hardwired" on August 18, many minds have been blown! People were pretty impressed by the fact that there's a touch of the "old metallica"... if you allow me to call it so! There's indeed a huge presence of the writing style of their very first albums! A heavy and powerful track! It was simply a real "Metallica" track
But yet wise men had to wait until they check the whole thing to make their final judgement!

After releasing 2 other singles "Moth Into Flame" on September 26 and "Atlas, Rise!" few days before the Album release, I said to myself "Damn! This is gonna be a masterpiece" and they indeed didn't disappoint me!

The album was released as a double album! All of the 3 singles are on the first disc, which is heavier and stronger! very powerful riffs and drum beats! James did a great job as well in my opinion! there were some different singing style in some tracks!

The 2nd disc, which is the longer one, is more progressive! There's a melodic and an atmospheric touch,Some EPIC riffs and solos especially in confusion! I just loved the solo!
Right before the last song "Spit Out the Bone" which is the heaviest, the band made sure to pay tribute to the great Lemmy kilmister by their song "Murder One", which is one of my favorites as well!

For a 70 minutes album, I thought it'd be "boring" but not at all! every song is journey! It's indeed a GREAT album!

And as their diehard fans like to say "Welcome back masters" ;)
