    Since it's the unpopular music opinions thread...

    I love (some of) St. Anger. I don't really reach for it when I'm in Metallica Mood but fer me it's like a metal mental cousin of full on raw records like Fun House, Skip Spence's Oar, first Judee Sill, Peter Laughner/Rocket From The Tombs, early PJ Harvey etc.

    It's like a brutal primal scream purge. First thought, best thought anti-aesthetic emotional release. The 15 minute drum sound, the loose performances, the vulnerability in James' off key vocals and lyrics; it's all so inelegant and, for me, so powerful for it.

    Usually when I listen to it I go for a shortened version like

    Frantic
    St. Anger
    Some Kind Of Monster
    My World or Invisible Kid
    All Within My Hand

    signing to a major label is the worst thing you can do as a human being, let alone band

    i don't actually believe this. i'm acting out on line.

    Half the bands out there don't know what their best or worst albums are. Thursday probably think playing their "worst" would be ACbtLD given their fanbase's stupidity when it came out, but it's their best one, etc.

    That would be even funnier - a band version of The Producers where they try to make a tour bomb by doing what they think is their worst material but everyone ends up loving it

    I used to love St. Anger because my mom won pit tickets on the radio to see Metallica on their Madly In Anger With The World tour (holy shit at that title) so my first concert experience was Metallica playing a bunch of these songs live. But anyways I'm gonna give it a spin to see if anything holds up.

    I think in theory the idea of St. Anger is sort of cool, a sort of raw primal release, but they needed someone other than Bob fucking Rock, maybe someone who doesn't specialize in big glossy rock records, or can keep a band in check. Or maybe can write better lyrics. No reason that record should be any longer than 35 mins.

    Some Kind of Monster is an unintentionally hilarious movie on par with This is Spinal Tap
