I couldn't get a recording or pick out any lyrics because it was in a supermarket and there was a lot of background noise. But if you've heard the song, I think the title might be enough. It had a very sparse instrumentation, drums fairly prominent, male singer, very strong melody.

Before their latest album, I was something of a casual Metallica fan. I liked a handful of their songs, and considered the rest of their songs to be recycled versions of their songs that I liked.

Then St Anger happened. I thought they were maybe getting too old to keep raging like hormone-driven teenagers, maybe they should start releasing c&w albums or something.

Then 72 Seasons came along and blew my tiny little mind.

I'm not massively keen on every song, but (imo) there are no weak songs on this album. It has a different energy, they tried different approaches to lyrics, soloing, drumming etc, while incorporating those fresh ideas into their established sound.

My personal favs off the album are Lux Æterna and Inamorata. Such great energy and great messages! My boss at work loves Inamorata so my colleagues tolerate it, but they are sick to death of Lux Æterna (I had it on repeat for a long while).

So that's my Metallica story. What's yours?

On signing up, I was offered an auto generated password and stupidly didn't write it down. I also didn't provide an email address. Is there a way to change my password? I'm trying to log in to jerboa and I need access to my password to do that.

Hello people!

Reddit has been my main (and often only) social media site for years. Due to third party apps getting slaughtered, and the official app being a bag of pus, and reddit admins making bad decision after bad decision, I saw Lemmy mentioned as an alternative and thought I'd try it out. So far I can't make sense of the settings, how to search for things etc, but I'm sure that will come with time. I hope so, anyway!
