I haven't made it through the entire record in one listen.
It is so exhausting and fatiguing to listen to.

Put on a Strapping Young Lad album- it is so much easier to listen to- it isn't squashed but is still dynamic and soooo fking heavy.

This offering from Metallica is doing them no favours at all.
It is a pity because they are almost back on form with the material- well I'd like to think so, but to be honest it is hard to know because the mixing/mastering processing is so OTT.
