Political & Metallica Speculation

It's fun when I read a story - this is about how Donald Trump used legally dubious methods for his tax return - and then read a reaction to it by Erick Erickson. In this case, the title of EE's article is "It Takes Five New York Times Reporters To Tell Us Donald Trump Did Not Break the Law. I then went on to read about those hoping for November 9th to be the end of all the finger-pointing and divisiveness are going to be disappointed, as this article speculates. Our entire nation seems as anxious as I am to learn what course we, as a nation, will follow for the next 4, possibly 8, years. It could be that long before there is another Metallica release.

Why would I speculate about that? Well, Metallica will release a new album on 11/18/16. On that date, 8 years, 2 months, 6 days, will have passed between their prior release - Death Magnetic - and Hardwired... to Self-Destruct. It could be another 8 years before the follow-up to the album that hasn't been released yet! On the same subject - Metallica's new album, here's a random thought. The sum of the music on Disc 1 and Disc 2 is equal to 77 minutes, 29 seconds whereas the sum of the music on Disc 3 – the Bonus Disc – is 79:37. Why did there need to be 6 songs on each CD?

But know what? I don't really care because this list of songs that I've heard on the new album has me excited.

1. Hardwired
2. Moth into Flame
3. Atlas Arise

Yes "Hardwired" doesn't have the best lyrics but the "Moth into Flame" & "Atlas Arise" sound awesome! In fact, so awesome that here's "Atlas Arise" again:
