72 S feels like Hardwired’s tone and pseudo-thrash meets Load and ReLoad’s hardrock. It leaves much to be desired, especially considering I felt that there wasn’t any “Spit out the bone” moment on the album. The lyric content tho is great and is defo the most introspective album. Album barely gets a pass for me considering it was made (I think) during lockdown, but I’m willing to be that this is what the rest of the band’s albums will sound/feel like. I get that this isn’t the 80s and James, Lars, Rob, and Kirk are much more mature than back then and good for them to establish a much more sustainable lifestyle/relationship with the band and themselves, but I’m willing to bet that this is probably the final nail in the coffin for any hopes of “thrash” style of songs. Bit of a shame since they can still write good thrash style songs [i]points to death magnetic[/i], but oh well I guess I can get my fix from Anthrax or any of the 2000s thrash revival bands.
