I know I'm not posting much lately but I started a new job and--yeah
And it's not that I don't think abt Metallica, it's more like that my thoughts go like
"king nothing > memory. Which is not a unpopular opinion, per se, but like. Memory won the continuity live war till 2023. What a world we live in"
And
"WELCOME TO THIS LIFE
BORN INTO THE FIGHT
HERE TO CLAIM YOUR DREAM
Dreams..... No?
Dream SIGULAR. I forgot that it was singular, I sang it plural, here to claim your dreams. Usually in English don't you say "claim your dreamS"? Ohhhhhh, but it's singular bc for james it can't be anything else.
>>>>>'there was no plan b. Plan b, c, d was making plan a work'
This is autobiographical as UN1, which also starts with birth seen as something immediately difficult. But screaming Suicide is more Abt yourself -you, your voice- and something external giving you a hand; while UN1 is others, what others do to you-- till it transforms you"
It's cool that the album 72 Seasons seems to be based on/inspired by Metallica's previous albums. I can hear the Kill 'Em All in Lux Æterna (at least partly due to the video If Lux Æterna was on Kill 'Em All, which I finally got around to listening to!!!), I just read a comment comparing Screaming Suicide to Hardwired and earlier I managed to merge If Darkness Had a Son and/or 72 Seasons with Broken, Beat and Scarred (which is on Death Magnetic). I hope when we get the full album on Friday I hear a bit of Ride the Lightning (the album, but I wouldn't complain if I could hear the song) in one of the other songs
just listened to the new Metallica single (which is called screaming suicide btw) and it's pretty good. I do like how these past two singles are not in the key of e minor. I think it's a fun little subversion of the usual Metallica song. bad James' little spoken section was a fun little surprise. overall, I'm pretty excited for this new Metallica album. I will be keeping my expectations low, since this is my first metallica album release.
