It’s okay at best. My problem with it is that it took the stereotypical Metallica style and turned it into a full blown album.
While it is nice to have some new music from them, it just doesn’t hit like some of their other albums. There weren’t as many “killer” riffs and solos, and the lyrics were lacking.
I understand that inspiration is hard to come by, but there were so many things about 72 Seasons that could have been improved.

I’d like to see these guys branch out and work on some other projects. The last few albums have been lackluster. Hardwired and Death Magnetic had a few good moments, but nothing that really grabbed me. It feels like they’re just going through the motions at this point.
