I tend to have low expectations for all metal lyrics. Black Album included....

i'm going to listen to St. Anger in honor of this thread. I've never heard it.

ooof. listening to St. Anger is like dying in a bottle of diarrhea.


enjoy.

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.

oh my word. This really is awful. Just awful.

tic tic tic toc... lol

He's madly in anger with me? wtf?

I still enjoy Death Magnetic

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.

Kill 'Em All is my favorite.

I appraised a condo he bought in Vail.

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.

It reeks of nu-metal at times. This is hilarious.

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

Bargains, imprisoning me! All that I see: absolute savings!

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.

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

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

And then you watch the movie...and you are revived only to be killed again and buried again.

Hey, I like that movie.
