The long wait is over! Metallica’s new album Hardwired: To Self Destruct is now available. I downloaded it over the weekend and listened to each track several times. I don’t wanna give away too much about the album– you need to experience it for yourself– but while listening, I was transported back to the 80s with just good, hard-drivin’ rock-n-roll. If you’re a fan of And Justice For All, Master Of Puppets and The Black Album, then you’re gonna love their new one. Diehard Metallica fans will add this to their collection if they haven’t already. Rolling Stone gives it 4 out of 5 stars. –Laura
