Текст песни Metallica - Hardwired...To Self-Destruct CD1

Among the countless influx of fresh releases, (I think no one will argue that 2016 turned out to be prolific) and old people from San Francisco were fucked, which really did not please the people for almost a decade. I will be honest when messages began to appear from the group members, they say, we write a new album - I treated it skeptically. Yes, and "Lords of Summer", which came out a couple of years ago impressed me from the word "in no way." Well, here a couple of months ago, Metallica rolls out "Hardwired" and says that the album has already been written. We must admit that "Hardwired" at least left a good impression. But first things first.

Let's first make a brief excursion in the history of the group, which everyone knows everything. From 1983 to 1988, the group cut the wonderful and vigorous such thrash. Albums from this period have become a cult, and the group thanks to it earned the eternal peace in the annals of the metallic history. In 1991, a turning out a turning black album, which determined the direction of the group towards more commercial sound. "Load", "Reload", "Garage Inc." - All of them were excellent, let them and not metal albums. After there was an unsuccessful attempt in the form of a sufficiently raw "st. Anger" and sucking from the finger "Death Magnetic" (although there was still a pair-three-trooka there).

The first thing that rushes is an excellent sound. After the saucepan drums on "St. Anger" and the hell's clicks on the "magnet", everything is fine here. No dirt, unnecessary noise or some more heresy, which in the mix should not be, everything is at a decent level.

Now about the technique. Everything is sustained at the middle level between a black album and earlier work. Not so technique, as on some doll, but also the triviality does not smell. Lars more and more actively uses a double bass barrel, bass Roba is an excellent bone for the entire rhythm section. The only thing that rushes a little - the vocals of Hatfield. The feeling that he already clearly does not pull some notes and in the final version of them either energized by auto, or James shed a very long time (although I honestly confess that Hatfield's vocals in his 53 years are still at the height, and not many of the world of metal can boast so achievement). Another significant drawback is addressed to Monsieur Hammeta. Solo are boring and monotonous so much that I am not sure if the album will change if they are just removed everyone?

The material is extremely cheerful and diverse. Hurricane "Hardwired", which has a stupid "Kill 'Em All, Moth Into Flame", which reminded me of "Ride The Lightning" with something from afar; Durable "Dream No More", listening to which I imagine myself on a career dump truck. But nevertheless, unlike "magnetics" and "St. Anger", even the length of 6 or more minutes does not make them boring. And in general, the group's handwriting, its melody, and moreover, I did not notice the selfover, which is also just wonderful.

Let us summarize: we have a great drive album with boring solo, excellent sound, wonderful material and excellent energy. For once, all the hype around the album was indeed justified with the quality of both sound and material, and I am very pleased with the ordinary listener that in my player will be one good album more, and for a group that is still not Having lost his talent and released a standing plate for a bunch of time. And I will go hear to the holes "Atlas, Rise"!
