Jimmy Petulla ,

Thank you!

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!

Drivel

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.

Its a must listen for fans of the band and this album

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.
