now that the dust has settled, St. Anger actually had a really sick, raw sound, and the only weak parts were the cheesy lyrics, hiring the token latinx from suicidal tendencies, and lack of solos because they were chasing the groove/nu metal fad.
Trujillo was an asset to Suicidal Tendencies, which is still the most underrated metal band to come out of that era. They were way ahead of their time.
HE RUINED ST, homosexual! He took an OG trash band, and turned them into slap-funk "metal" that sounds like it came from the Jerry Seinfeld show, and his bullshit dealth ST its death blow it never recovered from when Rocky George ended up getting pushed out. Rocky was the backbone that made the band so legendary among punks, skaters, and metalheads alike. After he was gone, it was all slap-funk bass-wanking that just collapsed everything.
I really like how the guitar playing on their debut album was really different from all the subsequent albums. Like the guitarist was playing mini solos in place of riffs.
Rocky is without a doubt the most under-rated OG trash guitarist in existence. All of his little subtleties were just brilliant. Then the bass player quit, and that taco-gorilla auditioned and got the job. It's been bass-wank ever since.
Denis D'Amour or 'Piggy' from Voivod is my other favorite. But I agree. Bass-wanking never makes good metal. It's just stroking individual ego bullshit and Metal suffers when it's not about energetic and angry riffing but technical prowess.
Metallica sucked after And Justice For all anyway. There are a few good songs on the black album (Sad But True) but not many. And they got addicted to what the Unforgiven/Nothing Else Matters sound did for them publically. It softened them and made them seem "experimental" and then they went on a long shitty journey of experimentation. And Justice for All was the last real "this world is a big pile of shit and death" angry Metallica, which was Metallica. Everything after that was the birth of a new band of "artists" that kept trying to re-invent themselves with each new album.
>then they went on a long shitty journey of experimentation
What. Them hiring Bob Rock who fricking produced Bon Jovi and going for commercial stadium sound was already their downfall. They then went even more lame and safe. They were quite experimental with early albums already.
Their first four albums they considered themselves a thrash band. They played thrash band songs, sang about thrash band themes, toured with thrash bands, were part of a thrash band movement that was a real thing in the 80s, and they were basically considered the priemiere thrash band, deserved or not. You can't listen to the first four albums and tell me they didn't become something else with the 5th. Even Garage Days is still a thrash album. They just thrashed up cover songs. Their experimentation was limited mostly to expanding the sound of thrash metal with tempo changeups and playing with time and sound and thematic albums and such. But they were still a thrash band. And then they weren't.
The drums sound like absolute shit, and sound quality-wise it's like they learned nothing from the killer sound quality of the Black album. Plus the lack of solos because Lars wanted to be more gunge was fricking moronic.
>Plus the lack of solos because Lars wanted to be more gunge was fricking moronic
Grunge was dead by the 2000s and replaced by post-grunge, nu-metal, and metalcore, the latter two being the sounds Lars wanted to imitate.
Moreover, actual "grunge" bands like Soundgarden and AIC had songs with solos.
The only thing really wrong with the songs on St. Anger is they're too long, James' lyricism wasn't good, and sometimes the arrangements seem a bit muddled.
Longhairs can cry all day about muh downtuning and muh nu-metal and muh snare but there's some hard frickin' riffs on that album.
Miseryyyyy
She needs me
Oh, oh, but I need her more
Miseryyyyy
She loves me
Oh, oh, but I love her more
Miseryyyyy
She kills me
Oh, oh, but I end this war
Miseryyyyy
She fills me
Oh no, but she’s not what I’m living for
I used to hate the “dude you need to be a broke loser living a life of hardship and toil to write good music lmao” crowd but it’s surely not a coincidence that James got a divorce and then wrote their most sovlful track in years
In terms of audio quality nothing beats the black album. In terms of songs, Master of Puppets is just perfect. There isn't a single shit track on it. The whole thing's good. I really wish they'd remaster their catalog to the black album's level.
Load and Reload are Metallica's best albums. Not that the other ones are bad, but these are just really good.
That's a hill I can easily die on.
P.S: Garage Inc. is also great.
Safe bolmer tier taste. You lot would have been listening to Neil Young or some b***h-blues band if you were younger. Load , and Reload were regressive in fact.
Nah, I personally just think it's growing up. The themes in Load and Reload just resonate differently than anything else. Plus I really like James' vocals in those albums.
Can anybody link me to the vid of the Unforgiven gay parody? It starts with Hetfield banging Lars I think, and I remember one line being "deprived of all his wieners" instead of "deprived of all his thoughts" lmao.

Rocky George is directly responsible for the guy you claim ruined ST being in ST to begin with, and he left when Rocky did.
Everything you're moaning about was Mike's fault.

wrong homie
Yeah St. Anger is at least more interesting than every album since then. There's some good songs in there buried beneath the muddy production.
The only thing really wrong with the songs on St. Anger is they're too long, James' lyricism wasn't good, and sometimes the arrangements seem a bit muddled.
Longhairs can cry all day about muh downtuning and muh nu-metal and muh snare but there's some hard frickin' riffs on that album.
they literally tried to copy Korn. even jonathan davis lowkey said "I knew what they were trying to do" but he said the unhinged snare still sucks
>really sick, raw sound
Boo to that. It's loud and thin and annoying. It's an over-engineered attempt at being "raw". Totally inauthentic.
I like it better than any of the other generic shit they made after. I even like the snare. Come at me.
>Tomorrow will take us away far from home
>No one will ever know our names

i like that song. bob dylan wrote it but never recorded it so his then girlfriend used it. what's the story with metallica?
Metallica is a cover band

Reload is a good album and I'm tired of pretending it isn't.
Load and Reload are Metallica's best albums. Not that the other ones are bad, but these are just really good.
That's a hill I can easily die on.
P.S: Garage Inc. is also great.

you must be trolling, I can barely get through those records. Aside from maybe 3 songs they all sound shit
Garage Inc is high for me too, Astronomy and Mercyful Fate brother
Astronomy's the best song in the album, but yeah, whiskey in the jar, mercyful fate, turn the page, loverman, they're all great
Safe bolmer tier taste. You lot would have been listening to Neil Young or some b***h-blues band if you were younger. Load , and Reload were regressive in fact.

Cool story, bro.
dags att bränna en ny koran känner jag
>counters your awful mixing with awful mixing
just tone down the mids and it would be perfect
Metallica fricking sucks and I'm tired of pretending they don't.
Metallica fricking rules and I'm tired of pretending they don't.
The Metallica threads, the /druk/ threads and the occasional fat threads prove that this board is full of "boomers".
I still like Metallica though.
>I'm gonna start writing songs that aren't about death
what a mistake
Anyone want to listen to 7minute angsty heavy metal songs from millionaires in their 60s?
Then i have the album for you
>THEN THE UNNAMED FEELING
>COMESSSSS ALIVEEEEEEE
>get the FRICK out of here
>I just wanna GET THE FRICK away from me
cant do buttrock Metallic a sorry sirs
What bands other than Metallica do you guys listen to? I am open for recs.
Other than Metallica I like Radiohead, Interpol, Converge and Pink Floyd.
Rammstein, Kyuss, Guns, Tool
hetfield secret band
Can anybody link me to the vid of the Unforgiven gay parody? It starts with Hetfield banging Lars I think, and I remember one line being "deprived of all his wieners" instead of "deprived of all his thoughts" lmao.
SHE AINT MY BIIITTTCCCCCCHHHHH-AAAAA
Isn't that a Cake song?
No warning? No second chance?
>No warning? No second chance?
Literally me after getting permabanned for posting gore on Cinemaphile
St. Anger is a kino album and mogs the ever-living shit of everything they released after.
