Also it's way better than the Load albums, that's a no brainer. Don't give me that revisionist crap about those albums being acceptable.

I think the revisionist crap is more due to nostalgia from when people were in high school and they liked the singles. Those albums do have some pretty fun pop rock singles, but other than that they're pretty tedious to listen to as a whole. Hardwired to Self-Destruct was basically the first time in forever where Metallica actually managed to kick a notable amount of ass, but I can literally not remember a single thing from it so I'm chalking it up to all style but no substance.
