"I wonder if that's the version of Mayhem that's going to be in the movie"



It actually is going to be them if you're talking about the movie Lords of Chaos

the only song i listened to lmao

Spot on Trey. I feel pretty much exactly he same. Kirk Hammet's performance is really underwhelming, which is a damn shame because I think Hetfield's performance is phenomenal.

Album title and cover are laughable tbh.

"Metallica stop trying to please everyone else, and release an album that embodies where they're at in their lives."



Every one of their albums have "embodied where they were at in their lives" up till now I think. Basically what you're saying is if we think this is bad it's our problem and not theirs, right?



So anyway, good review and I'm stoked to hear this in full. I'm listening to Spit Out The Bone atm and quite frankly I think it sucks.

--If anything, I'd say Load and ReLoad were riskier rather than poppier decisions, they knew their fans would be pissed but they genuinely wanted to make that music anyway.--

You're taking it out of the context of time. All the big selling metal/rock acts were tanking while alternative was getting huge. Metallica didn't just change their sound to fit the times, they changed their physical appearance, dress, etc. It only takes looking at them post-Reload to know that it was a forced change, because they went right back to their preferred appearance right after.

--They stopped doing that since The Black Album.--

I think they've been doing it more since the Black album.

--Every one of their albums have "embodied where they were at in their lives" up till now I think.--

I disagree. I think their albums in the past have embodied outside expectations of where they should be and what they should be doing. Even their early albums were the embodiment of the times and the expectations placed on them. This one doesn't seem to deal with any of that.

--Basically what you're saying is if we think this is bad it's our problem and not theirs, right?--

I think that's always the case. There's an audience out there for everything.

"It actually is going to be them if you're talking about the movie Lords of Chaos"

Yeah that's what I was talking about, I'm down then they pull the look off well.

Pretty nice of Metallica to let him use that music video as an early teaser for Lords of Chaos.

Doubt I'll enjoy this.

Spit out the bone is actually really good instead of just a massive hype shitfest imo.

Album Rating: 3.0

I know Lords of Chaos will be hated by trv kvlt people the world over but I'm looking forward to seeing it. Mostly just to see how the actors play their characters. I'm sure the story will be butchered.

A Jewish actor will portray Varg. The movie needs to be done so that the greatest meme will be created from his shitfit

Album Rating: 3.0

Haha they're on the right track if that's true.

Yeah I'm in the same boat, I'm sure it will be terrible but I'm seeing it day one.

In the corpse paint, that guy from the video looks a crazy amount like Dead.

Album Rating: 3.0 | Sound Off

I think the dude matched Dead's live mannerism pretty well too imo. IMDB labels the movie as a Drama/Thriller so it's the latter part that gives me a bit of an ironic interest if not just to see how well the actor portrays Dead
