AlexKzillion: editing metallica

AlexKzillion 04.21.23	72 m/////////////// also yes all of these are still maxed out at 45+ minutes despite only being 6-7 tracks besides st. anger, really puts into perspective how long these songs are
thumbcrusher 04.21.23	They should definitely aim for something like this, I’d have included Wasting My Hate, Where the Wild Things Are and All Within My Hands tho
wham49 04.21.23	one lp is like 43 minutes, so that does not surprise me, since cd's became the new medium and were 80 minutes long most groups were making 60+ minute albums thus 2 lp's
IsisScript80 04.21.23	I agree with a whole lot of this... I'd take 'Cyanide' off of DM, and have 'Broken, Beat and Scarred' on there (or 'Hate Train' from 'Beyond Magnetic'--again, puzzling to me why that was left off the main album), and definitely 'Dream No More' off of H...tSD because I think it's kinda shite and the only low point on a very solid first half, but other than that, good picks IMO.
AlexKzillion 04.21.23	@wham the main thing that surprised me was that kill em all is 50 minutes and master is 55 minutes yet they both apparently fit on one lp???? mainly cause those albums never felt all that long to begin with
IsisScript80 04.21.23	Ancient (CD age) proverb: Just because one may use 80 minutes, doesn't mean one SHOULD use 80 minutes.
wham49 04.21.23	are you sure Masters is one lp, I have to look and but I thought that my masters is 2 lps
insomniac15 04.21.23	yeah, most of the edits are fair
AlexKzillion 04.21.23	@wham i'm just going of wikipedia. would not be surprised if that's wrong tho as that seems excruciatingly long for one lp
Titan 04.21.23	Alex bro trying to do this with 1 is a sin Props for 7 though, that would make for an amazing record
wojodta 04.21.23	I think Justice is perfect just the way that it is. Maybe shave a couple minutes off the title track, but that's it.
DoofDoof 04.21.23	Dropping ‘The Frayed Ends of Sanity’ is tough to take ‘Chasing Light’ is the best tune on the new one - essential inclusion, drop ‘Too Far Gone’ Also, I like the idea the cream would come to the top if Metallica had been forced to limit to 45 minutes…but also Metallica released albums a lot faster before this period. You might have got most of this material just over an extra four or five albums
DominionMM1 04.21.23	you’re definitely on to something with justice although I’d drop tlitd and throw in shortest straw also add ronnie to load yeah i said it
JDubb 04.22.23	One lp length (~42 min) is the sweet spot. Doesn’t wear out it’s welcome. Feel somewhat cheated with a 30-35 min album. And 60+ min - typically get bored/distracted. EPs (ex. Beyond Magnetic) are perfect 4 leftover tracks.
ToSmokMuzyki 04.22.23	every band ever take notes
Xen0scale 01.22.24	Cool list!
budgie 01.22.24	ajfa like that is fuckin clean
budgie 01.22.24	" although I’d drop tlitd" get tilitd out yo motha fuckin mouth
Wildcardbitchesss 01.22.24	I’d replace Unforgiven 3 with Suicide and Redemption, but that Death Magnetic track list is sweet. And agreed with whoever brought up Beyond Magnetic. That “little” EP is legit probably the best thing they’ve done since Justice.
