I had a listen to the cut down version and I didn't like it at all. I think that the original needs at least 10 good listens to appreciate how good it is.

I've heard better from blind and deag first year recording engineering students who've never seen a mixer before. I guess in that way shorter tracks will help, but they desperately need to remix that album. It's better than LOAD and St. Anger but that's not exactly a high bar to leap over. They need to understand that wanting a 'raw' album comes from the performances not by mixing an album like a bag of shit. I don't hold out hope for them to ever 'get it' again but I will be the first to welcome them back to the non-shitty band fold if they ever do. They basically should re-name this album ‘ear fatigue’

Too many music fans have far too short attention spans these days. Few of the songs dragged on too long from Death Magnetic. Song lengths weren't the issue -- the drums were. If you can fix that, then I might give an edited version a listen. Otherwise, the album is fine, flaws and all.

After I roll my eyes at him, I don't usually take the time, unless it's one of those songs that is supposed to go into the next track or something and I wanna throw it in a shuffle, but that's combining, not removing.. Like Tool's Parabola, it was such a tease to build up to the climax at Parabol and then have it skip to something random, fucking hate that shit lol Haha this is something my buddy would totally do, he loves to make his own ‘edits’ of songs that he feels has pointless parts.

I don't know if they feel that somehow it's more raw, or natural.. but it just doesn't do it for me. That god damn snare drum will be the death of Metallica. It's nice to hear Lars put in a little more work on the double bass though, and thank god for the return of Kirk's solos.
