Getting good at starting over…….
Seriously, who actually bought cassette tape and actually put it in a cassette player and played it? I’m sure it is the collectors in us who bought those tapes.
On the other hand, I still prefer buying CDs for artists that I really like.
Today’s music is Metallica’s eleventh studio album ”72 Seasons”.
I received the digital copy of the album last night and had been listening to it since. At first listen, two outstanding songs that were not previously released for me are:
Having been a longtime Metallica fan, I am aware that each album is different from its predecessor; and yet sound familiar. It is going to take a lot of rounds of listening to digest the whole album.
By the way, if you could, pick up a copy of “72 Seasons” vinyl from an indie retailer. The copy I got comes with the album cover lithograph and a set of guitar picks.
It was 15 minutes to 07:00 pm and I was just leaving the Post Office. A notification popped up on my phone to remind me of Metallica Global Premiere of 72 Seasons.
I checked, and there’s a cinema 12 minutes away that has a showing of the event. I walked in the theater exactly as the screening started.
The screening started with introduction from Metallica band members, which later also introduced each song. Each song is accompanied with either a music video or some kind of visualizers.
After the screening, I walk back to my cars and Steiner driving home. Shirley, after, I receive notifications from iTunes Store, that the whole 72 Seasons album is now available for my listening pleasure.
“Too Far Gone?” is one that made impression on me tonight.
Well, I’m going to a local Record Store for 72 Seasons release party tonight.
I was about to write an entry as I received an email from Metallica. New song from 72 Seasons is released today; track number 3: Screaming Suicide
Just like it’s preceding single, Lux Æterna, this song has that 80’s flavored Metal music.
If you preordered 72 Seasons, you should be able to download the song now.
I’m excited about Metallica upcoming tour, but my bank account disagrees. I had to earn my “Snake Pit” pass instead of throwing a bunch of money to get one.
New song, new album, and World Tour… Metallica is sure to sell out the tickets. As much as having Metallica as one of my all time favorites, I would have to choose between attending the shows in style or use the money for some luxuries such as food for the whole month or three.
