Fresh Grabs

Mother(Load) of Metallica showed up today. Excited to give 72 Seasons a listen on vinyl. I've been streaming it the last week and is probably their best effort since the Black album.

Found a seller in Norway that had some early pressings that look like they were never played.

Two holy grail pressings of MOP. Both stone cold mint. The Elektra Club Edition has a bit of surface noise in the quiet parts but sounds excellent. The MFN 45rpm however...stomps all over it in my opinion. I would consider it the definitive pressing.

Couple more original EU Singles. Holy shit the Creeping Death is unreal. Lars and Cliff never sounded so good.

Stopped by a local I always forget about. Always stocked with good power pop, jangle pop and indie for exceptionally reasonable prices. My Vinyl Underground for anyone in the Portland area. I love the little descriptions on many of the albums, as so many of the bands I've never heard of.

Dick Diver - Calendar Days
The Tubs - Dead Meat

There's quiet parts on Metallica records?

My personal favorite is the solo sections of Master of Puppets, which they never ever played for years and years and years because apparently they just needeed Robert Trujillo going "hey, why don't you ever play that cool part?"

Before Death Magnetic, yes there were. (Disclaimer, I have never listened to the Load records)

you're not missing much. Although the load records do have some quiet parts, they are most notable in my mind for the twang. fuckin' mama said is some bullshit, imo. metallica should not twang.

I’m actually running through the disco currently, so they’ll finally get heard.
 
Man, I really appreciate that everything between justice for all and death magnetic is them stretching out and enjoying the fruits of their labor and fuck it, we do what we wants we're 'tallica, but there's a solid 10 year stretch where they vacillated between sucking really hard and being boring. I'm not even counting lulu in that -- that's just a lou reed album where metallica was like yeah we'll be the backing band for uncle lou, sounds fun -- but the rest of it? boring or sucks or both.

edit: I am also annoyed that they're so out of touch with their inner hesher kid that it took rick rubin sitting them down and going "how about if you just put out an album that sounds like you used to sound before you sucked"
