So, spent the last couple of hours digesting Metallica's new album. We all know its been the in thing to hate them in recent years and some would argue rightly so. I happened to really appreciate Death Magnetic and welcomed the direction they had returned to after all the years of MTV friendly poop, so I was very opened minded about Hardwired to self destruction. First thing to note is that the lead song actually works much better as an opening track and minus the video they put out its actually a belter and really sets you up in the right mind set. The rest of the album at this moment in time still has to grow on me. I feel there are potentially here quite a few just so so songs that open on a huge promise but don't seem to go anywhere other than some cool riff.
I will however stick my neck out here and say that Atlas Rise and Moth into flame are simply awesome songs and the more I play them the more I cant stop listening to them. Spit out the bone is the other song that stands out although it isn't a damage incorporated. There are other songs that I'm pretty sure will grow on me such as Halo on fire and Confusion. I'm hoping that I warm more to the other songs. First impressions are that It didn't make as big an impact as Death Magnetic did on release, but still has a handful of killer songs. Honestly but Atlas and Moth are destined be added to any best of Metallica I ever would conceive in my head.
