“I love how this gives the band’s perspective on things and exposes their music. It really gives you a sense of what they feel and had felt. You learn a lot of new things from this podcast which is awesome. Overall this just exposes the band and gives the fans something. -Sebastian”

“As much as I love Metallica, the production of this podcast is terrible… Extreme overusage of segue riffs, repetitive material episode after episode… you would think the History Channel produced this… any proud Metallica fan knows 80% of the content to begin with anyways.”

“Spent nearly $5000 on air fares, accomodation and tickets to see them here in Oz and they cancelled. To say we were disappointed would be an understatement :(”

“A fantastically well-layered, provocative production with crucially important, funny and interesting input from key players in one of the most celebrated and successful albums ever released. It’s spurred me to get re-listening to the album all week since I started Ep 1. Great to have the bonus...”Read full review »

“also for those that hate the album - it explains a lot.
BUT - the reason it is not 4 stars is the production is SO self indulgent and wasteful. Way too much intro with high production voices and sounds - some eps it is like 30% of the entire length. It will turn people off.”

“Sadly we have another massive name conform to the richest man on earth.
A band, the biggest band on earth arguably, that only recently acquired the rights to their own music have sold out to a multi-billionaire who’s profits come from a product that NOBODY NEEDS.

“Appreciate the guys and everyone involved putting this together for the fans. It’s always great to hear from the band but to also get to hear from some of the folks that work behind the scenes was pretty awesome.
Hope we get more of these in the future!”

I Love Metallica with passion and it’s cool that in a way I get to know them better that way. The only little problem I have with the actual podcast is that it’s a bit over...”Read full review »

“The over the top accent of the narrator is a turn off and the content is more of the same; this band is James and Lars and they make sure any chance they get that we understand that. Lars talking “you and I” referring to James and likewise in the other direction. You would think after all these...”Read full review »

“If you are a fan of Metallica, or heavy metal in general, this is a perfect snapshot of one band's journey to creating one of the most inconic albums of all time.

“Podcast is completely over-edited. Conversations and ideas have zero flow, and subject matter jumps around entirely too much. There are non-sensical music bits that have no bearing on what’s being said. Metallica should find a new team to produce these. Embarrassing.”

“The band interviews here are interesting and entertaining, plus it’s nice hearing from contemporaries and folks like Bob Rock on how the album was made. Nothing is very revelatory here if you know the band well, but it’s still a nice tie in to the remastered re-release.
What’s baffling about the...”Read full review »

“The Black Album by Metallica was what got me into heavy music. I was a teenager, I was still figuring out who I was, and this album and the stories about this album helped shape me. This podcast is fantastic. Love hearing the band talk about the album and all the stories that come from this album.”

I find the editing frustrating and I hear the same stories repeat on different episodes. The episodes feel a little overproduced and in your face, like a Michael Bay movie, which is not my style, but realise some like that.
I also find the...”Read full review »

“Great show. But so repetitive. They tell the same story in each episode it seems. Ya we get it James used to double his vocals but tell another story not that one in 3-4 episodes.”

“Insightful and fun to listen to but needs some editing to improve it. So many repeated sound bites across episodes and even in the same episode. Drop those and the adverts and it would be a much more concise and pleasurable listen.”

“Too many producers. Too many extra voices, too many edits, too many song inserts. Should have been just James, Kirk, Lars, Jason, Bob Rock and maybe a moderator to direct the flow of the conversation and make sure they hit certain historical points in the timeline. Less is more next time, just...”Read full review »
