Re: Terrible music you used to be into.
The Black Album is great, better than most of their other stuff. The line about people playing just above their ability level in that article Jorge posted really rings true for Metallica, except they were playing way above their level before the Black Album.

I remember hearing the first maybe 8 seconds of St. Anger (song) and getting really excited...and then a few seconds that feeling was quickly dead and buried forever.

Ride the Lightning, Master of Puppets and ...And Justice for All have a bunch of killer tracks. I never saw the Black Album as anything but a regression into rock 'n' roll mediocrity.

Re: Terrible music you used to be into.
Complexity does not equate to quality. Not dissing early Metallica, but I don't think their later output is even the same type of music, so that kind of comparison doesn't mean much to me.turned2black wrote:The Black Album is fucking terrible. Overblown production, shitty lyrics by Hetfield and simple song structures that betray the power and grace of early Metallica.

I like the St. Anger music video because Lars looks like an angry lemur

I haven't heard this album since right after it came out, but I remember the consensus among my friends was that this was Metallica trying, and massively failing, to be System of a Down or something.BurtReynolds wrote:It reeks of nu-metal at times.

Probably not much savings involved in buying a condo in Vail.

Some Kind of Monster (the song) is a political song with no point.
