Reviews"The Strongest Songs Tend to Travel at the Breakneck Speed of Vintage Thrash Metal...", "What they’ve always excelled at, and the area in which their contemporaries could never touch them, is their mastery of the melodic ballad, the anthemic arms in the air number that hits you in the feels.", "On 72 SEASONS, Ulrich, James Hetfield, Kirk Hammett and Rob Trujillo seem to block out the noise of critics and comments and, instead, find a groove within each other.", 4 stars out of 5 -- "The whole album roars past in an unremitting and intense 77 minutes....There are no ballads here, just speed demon anthems purpose built for mosh pits, bedrooms, car journeys and anywhere else you choose to head-bang.", "Metallica have always been masters of corpulent, groove-heavy riffs and labyrinthine song structures, but now, with more than 40 years of experience, they play with more purpose than in their speed-demon days."
Additional InformationA big, heavy record containing no ballads and plenty of songs where James Hetfield comes to terms with childhood trauma.
