What in the actual fucking fuck!?!?!? https://www.wearethepit.com/2022/12...022December6/5905031/6424942&etsubid=30355353
So I've only heard St Anger, Black Album, S&M and Death Magnetic in the past two decades and, except for the most popular cuts, the rest of their discography is pretty much a blind spot for me. For the early stuff, would you recommend giving the remasters a listen instead of the original albums? The formers are the only versions available on Spotify.
I mean Hardwired being last immediately told me it was outrage bait, Lulu being #5 was just the icing on the cake It's not a serious list, it's there purely to provoke shares and negative reactions on social media
i’ll play.. ranking studio albums: 12 lulu 11 kill 10 reload 09 anger 08 garage 07 magnetic 06 load 05 justice 04 ride 03 hardwired 02 black 01 puppets and imo, there is no ‘worse’ metallica album. i see what they were tryin to do with lulu, and musically, metallica does quite well. mistress dread, junior dad, dragon are solid. my main gripe with kill is the sound, as in if they were to rerecord the album with today’s mastering, it could be in my top 5 easily. my goto is their live performance of the entire album from the orion fest in … 2012? it’s easy to point to the drum can snare and lack of solos, but st anger is a solid effort, even easier to understand if you watch the ‘some kind of monster’ doc. master i think is their defining album. black is their most mainstream, which i think they did well folowing that mainstream template with hardwired. hardwired has a bit of everything as far as styles: slow sludgy ‘dream mo more’, groovy ‘now that we’re dead’, even old school thrash in ‘spit out the bone’. lux aererna sounds like a continuation of what they did with hardwired, and i’m ready for it.
I would have far less qualms about liking St. Anger if they actually played their instruments properly instead of going for this weird idea of what a garage band would sound like, as if that's what anyone wanted to hear from a Metallica album. Thinking in that sense, it's actually not that surprising they collaborated with Lou Reed.
The production is bad but it’s weird to say they don’t “play their instruments properly”. There are some excellent riffs on that album
I'm mainly talking about the drums. The glaringly obvious issue that almost everybody comments on when talking about this album.
That site is garbage in general so I shouldn’t be surprised, but dear god that list is hilariously bad
Nice another good one. Now that single day passes are available me and a buddy got tickets for the first night in Jersey. Not the best seats but still pumped!
Has "listening parties in cinemas" been a thing for a while? It feels recent, I remember Rammstein doing it for Zeit.
I think it's a fairly recent thing; I went to the Rammstein one here in Oslo and it was great; people were bobbin' their heads back and forth, rockin' out, it was great. I also saw the Coldplay concert one a few months ago and that was fun too.
