1 around the world, selling over 800,000 copies worldwide in its first week. The album was produced by Greg Fidelman with James Hetfield and Lars Ulrich/

"Metallica has embraced its adulthood, reclaiming the attack of its music while jettisoning the image of a hard-rock band as young, fast and out of control," according to The New York Times.

Meanwhile Rolling Stone stated, "Metallica's 'Hardwired' shreds back to vintage eighties terror."
