Union 5-3992 Posted November 29, 2022 Share Posted November 29, 2022 Metallica just announced a new album, 72 Seasons for April 14, 2023 I dig the new single but doubt I'll end up returning to this track a much. It gives me the same feeling that Hardwired did. The band is trying to reconnect to their earlier sound but kind of missing. I'll still give the rest of the album a shot next year. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Union 5-3992 Posted November 29, 2022 Author Share Posted November 29, 2022 The band really can't catch a break with album covers. At least this one is better than Hardwired's 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J2112YYZ Posted November 29, 2022 Share Posted November 29, 2022 I don't think they missed at all on Hardwired. This new song has a Reload vibe for me. Not as heavy or thrashy as the last two albums. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

custom55 Posted November 29, 2022 Share Posted November 29, 2022 I Dig it. They're playing with Pantera 5 miles from my house next August. Duh, I be there. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J2112YYZ Posted November 29, 2022 Share Posted November 29, 2022 (edited) Interesting concept for this tour. They will be playing two shows in each city and both shows will have different setlists and openers. No repeat weekend they're calling it. They are also going to have discount tickets for fans under 16. Edited November 29, 2022 by J2112YYZ 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stoopid Posted November 29, 2022 Share Posted November 29, 2022 (edited) Most Metallica album art has sucked since the black album. I rarely listen to any of their newer albums. I've become a "old Metallica = good Metallica" type codger. In a vacuum, independent of them having ever recorded anything else, it's fine.

I've become a "old Metallica = good Metallica" type codger. In a vacuum, independent of them having ever recorded anything else, it's fine. Honestly I can't blame you. I do, however, LOVE Hardwired. And Load/Reload are bloated, messy albums with songs I absolutely adore as much as their greatest albums. Ultimately, I only enjoy five albums start to finish. The first four and Hardwired. The self-titled, DM and Load/Reload are all really good but I don't rate them highly. But even my favourite Metallica is low on my list of favourite metal. I can honestly do without them, but I have mad respect for them and their legacy. Growing up in the nu-metal era, Metallica are too great to ever slate. Thank f**k generations of music fans know Master Of Puppets as a classic, as too many around me growing up were blasting shit like Follow The Leader. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So, you're saying it's on par with those? I don't hear it. This is a decent first single to give us a taste of the new album. Nothing more than that.

I believe I read there was the option to buy tickets for both shows at one time. I'm not sure of the cost. But if there's a deal to get tickets to both, I don't see why someone wouldn't take it if they could. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Laurabw Posted November 30, 2022 Share Posted November 30, 2022 I'm torn about this one, you have to get tickets for both shows and if you were to resell, it has to be both also. They say regular single show tickets will go on sale in January IF there are any left, I would think there would be. I saw them at the stadium about 5 years ago and it was great, but not sure I want to go to two shows this time around. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluefox4000 Posted November 30, 2022 Share Posted November 30, 2022 i don't this song is amazing. and i don't think ANYONE said that. but it's a good song. but it's got that same flat drum sound a lot of modern metal prefers these days sadly.

There were plenty of tickets left up until a month before the show. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But Buffalo is a smaller market than some of the bigger cities they'll be hitting so who knows how it will be elsewhere? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd still be shocked if they sold out the 2 ticket packages before the singles go on sale in January. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laurabw Posted December 1, 2022 Share Posted December 1, 2022 It seems a tad risky. Though if it were Styx I wouldn't think twice and given what I saw on their fan club Forum yesterday it seems like a lot of people are all in. But it is a big stadium so I hope in Jan can get something for one of the nights. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
