I have got Hardwired - I was going to say I've got everything except Lulu and S&M 2, but now you have all these semi-official live albums and I haven't got any of those... I think Hardwired was a step up from DM and St Anger, but again the tracks are all too long and they're a bunch of riffs in search of a song. I just find it tiring to listen to.
I've fallen out of love with the band, basically... I even have to admit I'm more interested in the next Megadeth album than anything Metallica might do, and they've been shit for years as well.
The rest varies from good, or promising to filler, exactly as you describe, a bunch of riffs looking for a song which is a shame. Darn sight better than Death though which is a real tiring listen and obviously a load of riffs shoe horned together. Although I really love Unforgiven III and a few other tracks, the production is absolutely shite as well!!

I've always been a "listen to the whole album" person and I still am, even with streaming. But with some of these records I resort to playing the tracks in shuffled order just to give them a fair hearing.
The last Black Sabbath album, 13, was another example - I felt like I'd heard the first few tracks loads of times but I was always half asleep by "side two". What's wrong with 40-minute albums? 40 minutes is just right.
I think albums like Somewhere In Time were about the right length for me, about 50 minutes or so.

The Phoebe Bridger version and Miley Cyrus one is also brilliant, along with Biffy's version of Holier. Shows how good the songs are on that album.

I’m gonna order the CDs I think. I’m confused though, this and the Blacklist set arrived on Apple Music today. But the blacklist is showing as out of stock on Amazon. When is it / was it meant to be released? Is the Blacklist limited numbers on CD?

This set sounds mint, the remaster on CD and Vinyl is done so well, it sounds crisper. The original already sounded class, but it's definitely enhanced. The Tushino gig is great on vinyl too. Lovin life today!
Edit: Amazon says temporarily out of stock for the Blacklist

The blacklist is out on digital today. Physical on October 1st. I think Amazon have just sold their pre order copies that’s all. Typically “I’ll order that at some stage, I’m not in a rush” has turned into “I want that. Right now!”
This is mint though, I'm in teenage heaven today, the nostalgia is strong!!

I know it’s been played to death and most fans have heard it a million times, but it really is a pivotal album from my youth.
