It’s got more bangers than Hardwired but more importantly, better filler tracks too. I love 7/12 tracks on this album. Inamorata is now #1 of my favorite Metallica songs.

Lux Aeterna is a fine song but very different. It’s very radio friendly, you can put bits and pieces of the song in advertisements. Kinda like BTS.

James sounds ageless, they haven’t skipped a beat.

If Darkness Has a Son’s chorus made me laugh out loud with how cheesy it is.

The best way to describe it is that it’s a post 00 Maiden album where the good stuff is GREAT and the not so great stuff is ok-good.

Only now realising that I seem to have always thought this album was called 72 Seconds.
Needless to say I guess, I havent come to give it a single spin yet.

I really like this album. After the first few listens I thought it was OK. But coming back to it after several months, it's totally clicked!
