The album is okay, songs are fine, but nothing to write home about! Some times if feels too loud! Just a mess at times it seems

Would be a much better album with a better mix and every song wasn’t compressed and limited to death. A lot of distortion. However there’s some good songs on it.

Yes

This album has a ton of great tracks on it and they really did a great job on this. Favorites: Suicide and Redemption, The Day That Never Comes, The Unforgiven III, Cyanide. Suicide and Redemption always gives me chills down my spine when I hear it, its one of the best instrumentals out there! This is an album that I can listen to the entire thing, without skipping any songs

Only come in after Load. This album has a great length with plenty of diversity. Something for everyone. This is their last great work as of 2023.

There’s some good stuff in this album. The production is mediocre, the riffs are really memorable, and it sounds great live

Excellent

When they came back with this album I was very impressed that they managed to do it even with the change of voice. And the thing is that with the rhythm’s of those songs, the voice is perfect.

Broken, Beat & Scarred is the most original sounding riff Metallica has produced on this record. Cyanide is another good song with positive message. There’s just too much departure from the sound of all the earlier albums that’s not comfortable and hard to relate. I love the positive message of broken beat and scarred. Needs to be more songs with positive messages on future albums. Love Now that we’re Dead on new album in that regard.

The split second since S&M 1 that they had their sanity.
