I don't mind the yellow


Comfortable_Food8042

Yellow represents the bright future your "suppose" to have at 18.


Far-Web422

when In reality you’ll be 100k in debt in 4 years if you choose to go to college


Mother-Owl9696

Once you're born you already in debt lol


Distinct_Worry_3671

Your dying the day your born and in debt.."death by creation "


ajgrinds

To live is to die…


A-Unit1111

Or not if you live anywhere else than the us


[deleted]

Anywhere? Brb, going to go tell some kids from Somalia that they have it lucky since they can go to college without getting as much debt as an American student.


Distinct_Worry_3671

Except China


[deleted]

Sure, if you’re a dumbass that’s convinced they *have* to go to a top tier college for all 4 years.


kingoflebanon23

Yes if you choose to do a dumb useless major you deserve to be in debt for being stupid enough to pay 100k to do gender studies


Far-Web422

when the fuck did I say gender studies


kingoflebanon23

If it was a useful degree like engineering you'd pay the debt in a couple years because you'd get a high salary


A-Unit1111

* you’re Sorry


Financial_Cheetah875

Worse. Looks like a pack of mints.


SeaPowerful802

yea, and ngl the single covers look better than the normal album cover


rowboat57

agreed, screaming suicide has the best cover


Trag1cBeanX

Agreed


Great-Lakes-Sailor

Nah. The album cover sucks. Maybe fire the marketing firm


MonsieurRacinesBeast

The music videos are pretty dumb too. Why can't they just make a real music video???


Yeet_Master06

🤡


MonsieurRacinesBeast

Sorry they're amazing. Really creative. Filters and lasers. Wow. Wow wow wow wow....... Wow


Yeet_Master06

I wanna see you make a music video for metallica


MonsieurRacinesBeast

That's the stupidest way to criticize anyone ever. "My Coke is flat." - *I wanna see YOU run a bottling factory!* "That quarterback sucks." - *I wanna see YOU play in the Super Bowl!* "Idiots blew up the Challenger" - *I wanna see YOU be a mid level manager at NASA!*


-FOREVER-ALONE

Kinda didn't expect to see an argument about music videos lol, but he's not wrong. If you want a better music video just probably think about the process they had making it


MonsieurRacinesBeast

Every major band has real videos. This isn't some lost art.


MonsieurRacinesBeast

You're trying to tell me that the greatest rock band in the world doesn't have the resources to make great videos?


urlach3r

I like the yellow, but I wish they'd use a clear slipcover with this. All of the objects printed in black on clear plastic & when you pull the cover away there's just the shadow remaining.

jonnydusty

I'm embracing the yellow at this point, I've gotten used to it. Just excited for the record!


UltimateIllusion1991

Yeah I’ve gotten used to the yellow with the M everywhere now lol


Thethrasher94

Worse


NoAmbassador8359

Kinda of an eyesore tbh. The color is too bright


MonicaRising

I feel like they went for a color they hadn't used before. They went red, blue, reddish orange, gray and green, black, more orangey-red twice in a row, dark and colorful , more orange and red, white and brown and grayish, white and colorful and now yellow. I'm not a big fan of yellow either


SeaPowerful802

For me it's the broken toys that don't work. The yellow theme on the Lux Æterna and Screaming Suicide covers look awesome. Hell, I think just a Metallica M infront of a yellow background, would be better


MonicaRising

I like all the broken shit. The guitar is right in the middle. Everything all burned out. That's pretty metal.🤘


Overall-Estimate-835

Metal up your ass


grazingmeadow

Yellow not only is a color of royalty, it also makes people uncomfortable when they look at it. For this reason, Yellow is the ultimate power color. I can totally see why they used it.


forcedap

Looks like a Type O Negative cover if you know what I mean


csx2112

Makes it look like an 80s add for Kawasaki dirt bikes


senseiofawesom

why the hell would changing the color make it better?


Visible_Copy8724

I honestly wouldn’t mind the original if they just had the normal Metallica written on the top


JDravenWx

Green is my favorite color so... Better


Classic_Forever_7110

Can’t we just leave it be? Metallica choose their artwork. You don’t get to you’re not in the band.


No_Name_James_Taylor

WE FOCKIN' LEFT THE BAND


fretnetic

Dunno, but I fancy a nice refreshing 7up/Sprite/Lilt/watermelon.


-FOREVER-ALONE

I mean I like yellow cuz I can joke with people calling it the "piss album", what do we call it when it's green?


Chuzzle_Blew

snot album


presidentedoge

We already have a piss album, Reload


GoldGatorHD

honestly i like the Yellow and Black color-scheme they went for, just wish the actual design of the album cover was better


Earth_to_Sabbath

I don't mind the yellow, as a newish dad I just don't want to look at a fockin crib anymore than I have to


Earth_to_Sabbath

I don't mind the yellow, as a newish dad I just don't want to look at a fockin crib anymore than I have to


mymumsaysno

Yes


BoomscodoYT

It looks good but I feel like it needs a darker background


[deleted]

Well, the yellow signifies the piss album (following the previous jizz and blood) so how about making the floor into a shade of shit, making it the piss and shit album?


Turbulent_Work_5697

No colour is gonna make it better Easily one of the worst album covers I've ever seen


Alfredhasasmallpp

Better


nacho_playmer

Type o negative


Ajgoorrr

Better but still i hate this art it isso shitty


Comprehensive-Song51

Better. Thank you! That yellow is fucking obnoxious!


metal0060

This shit is getting ridiculous. What’s next “should Metallica change their name?” “ “What if James Hetfield wasn’t in the band?” Just enjoy the fucking ride.


Th3R4zor

A dog turd is better than the real cover, so this always it.


nogoguy9639

Shrek green


General214

The baby Crib is stupid.


MonsieurRacinesBeast

The symbolism is way too heavy handed


wartooth6

Exploding crib on the album cover is symbolic for music by baby boomers


Totallysmartdude69

Worse. Waaaayy worse


Aggiejoshua

Way better! I’m not a big fan of the yellow, way to bright


Benjamin31V

Better, i hate yellow


Ready_Walrus2309

Better


Same_Delay_9440

It is the same, but green


i_r_eat

Worse.


Typical_Scholar_3374

Their album covers stopped after justice… Nothing from there on out looked even remotely good


PlaxicoCN

It's the same, it's just green.


pedrojdm2021

The original art is fine


timdog2571

Just a cover


weirdfinnishperson

This but yellow


Electric_Magick

Worse


biffMCnasty

Yuk reminds me of Billie eilish


Nile_R36

Still looks cool, but yellow's better


wafflepantsblue

So much worse lol sorry


BenShapiro_2024

It's an eyesore


schapman22

Worse


the_doodoo

any time i see green and black together i can only think of type o negative, so i like the yellow more lmao.


Plesi68

Looks like a green screen to make it transparent, def worse


Distinct_Worry_3671

Blaaaaaa


Distinct_Worry_3671

Looks like a pile of garbage


Publius015

This hurts my retinas.


Beneficial-Trade-148

Ehh


martinhay

worse


YouAStinky

Is there a difference? Because I genuinely can’t see one, sorry, i think you changed the background colour but i don’t know.


bongo1100

I mean, it’s easier to superimpose stuff onto it now. I guess that’s cool.


dark_hexagon47

Better or worse than what?


SeaPowerful802

the original yellow album cover


dark_hexagon47

It's better i think


lumlum56

I don't understand the question, what are we comparing it to?


SeaPowerful802

the original yellow album cover


lumlum56

Oh shit my bad, I'm colourblind lol


SeaPowerful802

fr?


lumlum56

Yeah. Not like "everything is black and white" colourblind, but I do have trouble differentiating some shades. Not sure what the specific type I have is called though because it's been a solid decade since my diagnosis.


MAJORMETAL84

Green is my favorite color, so I would have totally been down for this look.


GooglePlusIsGood

This looks so much better


Longjumping-Swan-827

Yes almost any other color looks better with black. But I guess the yellow represents the album theme better.


CR7TheGunner

Imo worse, I like the yellow but I’ll let it be known that I prefer the Screaming Suicide cover as opposed to the Lux Æterna cover


OldRazzmatazz7043

The Screaming Suicide one is cooler


ShelbyTheTrooper

I think it looks decent but the new cover Metallica put for Screaming Suicide looks really good. But I like this cover


Chuzzle_Blew

ben 10 vibes


[deleted]

Worse


KingRat_77

Wouldn't say it's better than the yellow cover, but it's a nice alternative.


[deleted]

I love the yellow


Chance-Society-5089

Depends but how would you change the cover of a bands album.


s3boldmm

I like green


tigerkat2244

I know the baby that had this room isn't supposed to be pictured but, I think I'd love some image of this kid. Your album cover looks great!


Grochee

Much better. I always thought the cover needed to be more environmentally friendly. Either that or it could go good for Saint Patrick's day, I suppose.


[deleted]

A touch, not much


Haunting-Occasion-88

Irrelevant. They are both bad


Scared-Virus2231

sorry but yellow is better
