Below is mine vinyl of Metallica's new best-selling studio album (first in 8 years!) "Hardwired To Self-Destruct". The record has been signed by the whole band during their midnight premiere event at London's Oxford St. HMV a few days ago. Additionally I was lucky enough to win ticket to see their exclusive album release concert at intimate House of VANS last Friday - in front of just 850 fans! The show itself was webcasted live throught the world.

Good Metallica week so far! And the album is pretty decent with some solid tunes on it, especially on first disc. Still, it could have benefited if shortened from almost 80 mins (2 discs!) to like 50-60 mins as there are a few fillers on it. Still I believe it might be their stronger record in 25 years!
