"Some could argue that “Trapped Under Ice” and “Escape” are needless filler"



Who would argue that? Trapped Under Ice is fucking brilliant and one of their most underrated songs.

It took me a while to warm up to Escape. Up until about two or three years ago I'd skip that track. I used to hate how happy and upbeat it sounded. James hates the song, according to interviews.

I used to like Escape but now I'm convinced the others are better, that and Fight Fire are probably the weakest tracks on here

I remember back when Guitar Hero 4 was coming out, everyone was wetting their jeans over what Metallica song

would be in the game. Most speculated it would be MoP, RtL, or Fade To Black, while others guessed Hit The

Lights. When the gamemakers said it would be Trapped Under Ice, most people got pissed. To quote an IGN

critic:



"Why an obscure song from one of the biggest metal bands ever? They might as well have picked 'Poor Twisting

Me' or 'All Within My Hands'."

^Wow, I remember that too. I was guessing "Master Of Puppets" and was pretty shocked when "Trapped Under Ice" made the final cut. The critic you're talking about was Chris Smith, I think he got a lot of backlash for that.

Not a bad review, but I will reserve the pos.



You need to talk more about how the band has progressed compared to KEA and the huge amount of innovation comprised here.
