Ever since the 90's and Metallica's self-titled black album discussions has gone on about when the band lost their mojo. It's a matter of taste of course but one can't help wondering how relevant new music from the band is among fans. Whenever Metallica releases new music it's a roller-coaster of opinions. They might be the biggest Heavy Metal band in the world but unlike Iron Maiden-fans who go bananas whenever the band releases a new record and everything they do is nothing short of amazing Metallica's fans seems way more critical. The band do have a few hick-ups in their discography but ever since Death Magnetic (2008) the band has tried their best to go back to their thrashier roots. Personally, I haven't really been a fan of much of the band's work since Load (1996), an underrated album in my book but their last release, Hardwired... To Self Destruct (2016) was to me a come-back that felt focused and firey with a whole bunch of damn good songs. It was no Ride The Lightning (1984) but easily the best the band had released in ages.
