I love Metallica. Always have. I respect the way they tend to just forge ahead in whatever way they see fit for themselves and often James’s in particular is fearless in his self expression.

That last point really shows in his lyrics for this track. However I feel like the actual harmonic and rhythmic structures of this song fail to live up to the title and thematic content of the track itself.
