Still my favorite Metallica album. I even love the production, drum sound, and guitar tone.

Same here

Album Rating: 4.5

Yup. Although the previous two are classics in their own right, I always felt there was a tremendous jump forward in maturity from MoP to this one.

The production gives this album character imo

Album Rating: 4.5

So basically the production sucks in a good way, can we all agree on that?

Album Rating: 4.5

Agreed. Album is simply too good for production to matter.

The production gives this album character imo

It does



Still would have preferred more bass though

album fucking rules, but more bass would've been great

Album Rating: 5.0

This album's production, guitar tone, atmosphere, and even a lot of the tempos have always reminded me of a doom band gone thrash... which I'm all for. If Daylight Dies got a little thrashy, they'd probably be my favorite band instead of just kind of good.

I'm sorry but the production on this album is mightily bad, possibly even worse than St. Anger

Album Rating: 5.0

On the sound of St. Anger my cat had a heart attack. I immediately played To Live Is To Die in its ears and now I call it Lazarus.

Album Rating: 3.5

production doesn't drag the album down as much as a few of the tracks being a bit too long and redundant

Album Rating: 4.5

they needed long songs for the prog cred though

Album Rating: 3.5

why would you want that kind of cred

I agree some of the songs drag on too long, like the production is (IMO rightly) a sticking point for a lot of people but I don't think it would be as much of one if AJFA wasn't also a step down compositionally from their previous few albums.
