Metallica finally launched its 12th studio album six years after “Hardwired…To Self-Destruct.” The new album, titled “72 Seasons,” has 12 tracks totaling over 77 minutes, with a captivating first song, “Lux Æterna” that somehow combines an upbeat, kind of fast and pretty much joyous song. Initially, the genesis of “72 Seasons” began during the Covid-19 pandemic, with the band attempting to work together remotely on Zoom, as the band notes. The band also announced the M72 Tour, a special tour with forty-six unique shows in 22 cities worldwide that will blow your mind.</p>
<h2>U2 &#8211; &#8220;Songs Of Surrender&#8221;</h2>

<p>U2’s latest album, “Songs of Surrender,” is curated and produced by The Edge. In short, this album pretty much sees the band revisit some of the most famous songs of their 40+ year career, including “One,” “With or Without You,” and “Beautiful Day,” for a musical reimagining resulting in a completely new recording of each track, to include the arrangements and, in some cases, new lyrics. The standout highlight in this album would be that the 40 newly recorded tracks are collected under each of the four band member names across four separate albums and “Pride (In The Name Of Love),” becomes the first track from this brand new set of recordings.</p>
<h2>Depeche Mode &#8211; &#8220;Memento Mori&#8221;</h2>

<p>The mighty Depeche Mode made a comeback this year with their anticipated new album called “Memento Mori.” In a nutshell, this is Depeche Mode’s 15th studio album and it’s the first as a two-piece lineup of Gahan and Gore, following co-founder Andrew “Fletch” Fletcher’s tragic passing back in 2022. On this note, it’s more than safe to say that the album’s 12 tracks chart a vast expanse of moods and textures, from its ominous opening to its closing resolve— running the gamut from paranoia and obsession to catharsis and hitting myriad points between. It’s a perfect balance of melancholy and joy, to say the least.</p>
