Hardwired To Self-Destruct

[Metallifreak]

Wow the price for the deluxe CD on Amazon in the US is $9.99 and in Germany it is €21.99 more then double.

That's why I ordered everything via Amazon.com Best Price all the time. Btw, good to see you back on the board again my friend.

If you order from the US how long does it usually take to ship ?
I am always around and check in, just not posting much.

The two first discs are 1h17m26s long.
The third one (deluxe edition) is 1h19m37s !!!

Then there's no technically reason to release Hardwired as a double album. Does anyone have an explanation?

Listening to the new album right now, but my first thought is that it's a grow album.

Not satisfied yet, too much ouch moments so far, if you know what I mean.

Listening to Spit Out The Bone and to be honest disappointment is what I feel most about this new album.

4 to 5 kick ass songs, 2 that are average and the rest either have to grow or I'll never like them.

Is it me or sounds Murder One tired and bored? It feels that Lars and James really didn't have any kind of inspiration when they wrote it.
Although I know the song is about their big hero Lemmy.

Someone should really tell them that certain songs shouldn't leave the rehearsal room.
Just how I feel after hearing the record in full for the first time.

Nah, it's one of these records that definitely grows on you days gone by. At first I had same feeling but after 4-5 spinnings I liked every single song and found something enjoyable in every track.

have only listened to it 3 full times now - so after three times really like the 1st disk - can not get into the second disk at all...hope this changes after several more listens. As of right now I would put this album below Death Magnetic, but above the Loads and St. Anger. Not disappointed, but not over joyed either.

My number one complaint since St. Anger is that the songs are too long and too repetitive. Just because you have a 7-8 minute song does not mean it is Master of Puppets.

It will be interesting to see what songs they bring out live.

i'm not disappointed at all. i really like the new album, maybe 2-3 songs are not on the same level as the others, but i can find many great songs on this record i really like and some of the songs sound better and better to me the more often i hear them i have never been disappointed by any metallica album, so i'm happy with this one too...and i'm already curious to hear the new material live

Really happy with the new album. It definitely "sounds" better than DM. I might like it more than DM, too. "Am I Savage?" and "Murder One" are really the only two songs I'm not thrilled with. I absolutely love "Halo On Fire"! Definitely not a thrasher. But, I love James' vocals on it. My favorite delivery on the whole album is his "FAST, is desire" line. Has a cool feel to it.

I've already listened to this album more than any new release I've purchased in the last 2-3 years.

Been playing Hardwired since I bought it Friday and the disappointment I felt is fading away.

Man, I love Halo On Fire. Especially the part that starts at 6:00. That melody, Kirk going nuts on his guitar, Lars using the double bass, it f*cks me up real good!

Getting more and more into Now That We Are Dead but Am I Savage? and Murder One should have been cut of the album imo.

Can't get enough of Atlas, Rise! Especially the melodic twin guitars in the middle.

Hardwired starts to feel better and better!
