Friday finally comes Hardwired ... to Self-Destruct, the first studio album of Metallica since 2008, when they released Death Magnetic. So far they have released three singles, all with clear answers to the first albums of the US group reminiscences. Expectations are high, especially among those who do not consider works great productions with new songs that musicians have drawn from the so-called black disc of 1991.
"This album is similar in attitude to Kill 'Em All, even some songs also remind me of the black disc and Ride the Lightning. It is a kind of conglomerate of all musical places we visited in the past. It has marked touches of Kill 'Em All and And Justice for All. During the production process we did a long tour of everything we've done and the result is a mixture of all of them , "said guitarist Kirk Hammett in an interview published in the Mexican middle Publimetro.
A Metallica have fallen over the past 20 years, especially after the Load and Reload albums of the mid-nineties. They are albums with very opposite of what they had done before sound, which was described by the more orthodox metal fans as a betrayal.
I'm not going to refer to disks or live versions as they did with the San Francisco Symphony. I only confine myself to the studio albums. St. Anger not convinced, but one could feel the intention of the artists to regain the hooligan spirit of youth who came to resurface half on Death Magnetic. However, these two productions, the best achieved was the second, but still missing something. I could not curdle all and the disc had several expendable parts. the ability to perform round marveled works with songs that one felt so essential principle.
Maybe I'm wrong, but I notice that Hardwired ... to Self-Destruct is another spirit. Noto the band in a sufficiently coupled to deliver an album that can become a milestone of recent years creative stage. Ojala is not wrong and not disappoint.
It is not nostalgia or repeating formulas, but even surprised with what you expect from a band like Metallica. Not invent, it is to move and shake.
