It's maybe the best thing done by anyone, ever.

I am legit 100% in to "The View" but it took a few listens to get there.

JH sounds honest to got awful on brandenburg gate. i always used to think he had a great voice for heavy music, but apparently he's a full-time crooner now?
― charlie h, Thursday, 20 October 2011 01:56 (fourteen years ago)
really do like the *idea* of this being good... it defies so many old crit/genre/tribal assumptions and rivalries

last half of junior dad is legit beautiful
any recommendations on other modern/abstract/ambient string quartet shit like that?

Is "The View" about the television show, I can't decide.
All those ladies really do sit around a big table.

this'd be taken much more seriously - and likely be considered Metallica's best since before the Black Album - if not for the jarring vocals, but even with, fuck
and yeah, Junior Dad is actually really beautiful... the hell...
― Chris S, Thursday, 20 October 2011 02:53 (fourteen years ago)
i cant help but feel like this would be a truly great record if only they weren't all sober :-\
― ⚓ (gr8080), Thursday, 20 October 2011 02:55 (fourteen years ago)
yeah, surprised at how much they really "let go" in this though, considering how late in the game it is
― Chris S, Thursday, 20 October 2011 03:07 (fourteen years ago)
I thought I was almost finished with the album, but then realized that I still had one more track (19:28) to go.

Metallica's best since before the Black Album

best since before the black album equates to best since justice amirite?

SPARS DOWN LOW
The one word so far I can think of is 'craggy'
― Ned Raggett, Thursday, 20 October 2011 04:32 (fourteen years ago)
the opening of cheat on me is really lovely
― the 500 gats of bartholomew thuggins (upper mississippi sh@kedown), Thursday, 20 October 2011 04:33 (fourteen years ago)
perfect opener XD
― markers, Thursday, 20 October 2011 04:34 (fourteen years ago)
Man, if someone could hack into there and plug in one of the fake songs...
― Maybe more Danson and Galifianakis would help (Eazy), Thursday, 20 October 2011 04:36 (fourteen years ago)
Just the one?
― Ned Raggett, Thursday, 20 October 2011 04:37 (fourteen years ago)
Would be easy to cover "Romeo Had Juliette" with opening-song tracks. xpost
More discreet that way.
― Maybe more Danson and Galifianakis would help (Eazy), Thursday, 20 October 2011 04:37 (fourteen years ago)
I'm actually listening to "The View" for the first time and what the shit.
― Ned Raggett, Thursday, 20 October 2011 04:39 (fourteen years ago)
hahahaha
― markers, Thursday, 20 October 2011 04:39 (fourteen years ago)
alright, i'm on pumping blood now
― markers, Thursday, 20 October 2011 04:41 (fourteen years ago)
this is a new space here. old dichotomies have collapsed.
thesis. antithesis. synthesis.
― Chris S, Thursday, 20 October 2011 04:41 (fourteen years ago)
I'm impressed, those vocal cords of his actually should be necrotized and yet have been reanimated.
― Ned Raggett, Thursday, 20 October 2011 04:42 (fourteen years ago)
I'm on "Pumping Blood" too, having skipped "The View". PB's as trippy as Pleasant Plains's.

I'm digging this! The sheer batshittedness-ess-ness of it all. Lou sounds like the embodiment of what Eastwood looks like in "Gran Torino."
I love that two acts who have made careers out of pissing off their fans have banded together to piss off EVERYBODY IN THE WORLD.

CMOOOOOOON JAMES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
yeah, if you just get rid of your old blinders this is amazing
― Chris S, Thursday, 20 October 2011 04:45 (fourteen years ago)
I love how "Pumping Blood" is basically Lou going "See the whole time I wished I was in Steppenwolf back then."
― Ned Raggett, Thursday, 20 October 2011 04:46 (fourteen years ago)
so far for me the only thing spoiling this is some almost comical singing from hetfield (i've only heard the first two songs).
― charlie h, Thursday, 20 October 2011 04:50 (fourteen years ago)
Figured it out -- this is the equivalent of that one Phish album they did with that burnout/performance art buddy of theirs, the Dude of Life or whoever he was.
