It was only much later that I began to understand that I’d been listening to Metallica all wrong. Metallica isn’t about playing as fast as possible, it’s not about who can shred the best, it’s not about dual guitar harmonies; it’s about moods, hooks, grooves, dynamics and structure – the fundamentals of a great piece of popular music.

At first, I was quite disappointed by this release, which felt as uninspired as I feared. After some listenings, I must say that there are several good qualities in it, and some really great basis, which unfortunately are ruined by some major flaws which, by the end of the day, makes this album just average-good, yet still disappointing if you think of a Metallica product. Even if the album continues the “return to trash”-mission started with Death Magnetic, it does not manage to fulfil this mission in a satisfying manner: you get trashy sounds, trashy riffs, but you lose it all along the journey.

What is the deal with releasing double albums? Iron Maiden did it with The Book of Souls, and now Metallica has done it here with Hardwired...to Self-Destruct. Is it a payoff for the length of time between releases, or just an inability to edit and cut out songs to fit it all on one disc? The ludicrous situation comes when you have to put out THREE vinyl albums to fit the material on it! Obviously, if every song is strong enough to warrant inclusion then this is okay. Much like Maiden’s last release, I’m sure the consensus is that a little editing could have been done. Metallica: Riff Charge (The Making of "Hardwired")". YouTube.

The music is very sweet, very colourful and the instruments sounds incredible. It has so much depth. The moment you hear the gallops to Hardwire you hear the mass already.

Yes, Hardwired... to Self Destruct is probably their WORST album they've made so far, and I never thought anything could be worse than St. Anger, but they've done something so horrible, that nobody should be listening to this garbage. When I heard Hardwired for the first time, I was thinking this would be a great album. Then I saw the weak album cover, and something saying that this album would be more like Load with the sound of Death Magnetic instead of something as good as Kill Em All or Ride the Lightning. Moth Into Flame was just a garbage song proving that they're just a bunch of talentless tryhards who only care about money and being "Badass" than actually creating good music. The Production sounded like a modern pop song, and Kirk Hammett's solos are unoriginal and repetitive. He literally just plays a bunch of random riffs or random notes 4x then something else instead of playing an actual solo. TOP STRANIH – TJEDAN 48. 2016" (in Croatian). www.hdu-toplista.com.

Lars Ulrich shows an energy that we all thought that was lost with the past years. Robert Trujillo has a great performance proving to everyone that he deserves to be in the band but Kirk Hammet is the only guy here that decided to stay in the comfort zone. His solos are pretty commom but effective. Only in “Halo On Fire” and “Spit Out The Bone” we see him trying to do something more creativity but we can consider his job here more decent than on Death Magnetic. I don’t really need to explain who Metallica is. You know who they are, your dad knows who they are, babies who just came out of the womb know “Enter Sandman” and “For Whom the Bell Tolls” by heart.
