Thrash Metal

Ever since starting my daily uploads here in this community, I have been looking forward to this day. Everything I have done from then till now has culminated in this very post. I present to you my pick-- nay, my GIFT for you all today! You should feel #blessed.

After a rough start in their career, Metallica seemed to cobble together some rickety albums that have their fans but never seemed to grasp the world. Then they released the Black Album, Load, and ReLoad, easily top tier stuff that should be taught in school, practiced during band & choir and consume every facet of life. All thanks to that wonderful stuff called passion (not money, get that silly idea out of your head), why the fuck else would Metallica release such timeless classics, these works of art??

Little did we know Metallica were going to release their magnum opus some time in 2003, with a simply magnificent drum sound that would gather the masses they desired. Lyrics penned as if they were written by Shakespeare himself - "My life style determines my death style" - "I'm madly in anger with you" - "Get the FUCK out of here, I just wanna get the fuck away from me" - "Kill kill kill kill kill kill kill." Simply marvelous. 👏 👏 👏 Guitars did away with those distracting noisy solos and while they play too fast in some sections, they really know how to capitalize on their superior Groovy side - see Shoot Me Again.

All in all, I don't know how we mere mortals comprehend this musical masterpiece. It caresses our ears in our most based lizard brains, speaks to our very soul, our evolutionary genetics. Metallica have outdone themselves and would never again come this close to divinity. My only regret is that this album ends. BUT ALAS, That Is What The Repeat Setting Is For On Our Streaming Services!!!!
