So anyone else have St. Anger?

Wednesday, June 4, 2003 by The DJ | Discussion: WinCustomize Talk

Had it since yesterday and really haven't given it a good listen; especially on my REAL setup.

Some tracks I'm feelin and others not. Thoughts?

I love the new album because it is so raw... quite better than reload...

I think the musical sound of St. Anger is better, but the lyrics are not as good as Reload's lyrics.

I like that Hetfield doesn't just yell. I find a range in voice better. A softer voice for softer parts of songs and growling for heavier parts.

If you rather listen to music that just growls and yells at you, I suggest you invest in death metal CDs.

Acidbath would be one of those I own but can hardly understand...

I just found my master of puppets CD I think I will listen to it to see how it compares to St Anger

After I am done with Stainds newest of course...

I've got both Master of Puppets and St. Anger in MP3 format on my hard drive. It's my goal to have my whole CD collection converted to MP3 files and stored to CD-Rs with my favorite albums stored on my hard drive.

#38 by Citizen anthony roberts - 6/11/2003 5:51:17 PM This article posted recently about sums it all up



Please, the guy took a shot at Henry Rollins in there too.
That article is worth crap, it's just that fella's opinion.

Never understood the big 'Metallica sold out' thing that goes on.
They're just 4 guys that play music. They're not emmisaries, they aren't curing cancer, and they won't ever set foot on the moon.

I've listened to it about 5 times now, and it totally blows away reload and reloaded.  You can't even compare them.

Heavy metal is not supposed to be fluid and smooth.  It's metal.  It should be choppy and raw sounding. 

This album sounds like they were having fun for a change.

"Heavy metal is not supposed to be fluid and smooth. It's metal. It should be choppy and raw sounding."

The etymology of the term "heavy metal" comes from a description of a Led Zeppelin song by a reporter, who figured it sounded "like a piece of heavy metal falling from the sky" (or so).

Personally, I feel metal should have "evil" riffs. Hard to describe what that means.

Heavy metal is spandex and sweatbands.
Not to be confused with aerobics, which is spandex and sweatbands.......

I think you all are probably dissapointed with Metallicas new stuff but insist on babbling mad tales of how incredible and brilliant this recording is merely to render me irrelevant and to crush my vote and silence my voice forever into non compus mentus status.

The spandex and the sweatbands are for the hair bands of the 80s.

Maiden, Judas priest, Kiss, Van Halen - All spandex and sweatbands, and they were bands that were there in the beinning of metal.
Hair Bands were make-up and bright clothing.

Yeah, whatever, bud.  I don't think that anyone said it was brilliant or incredible.  If you read it again and comprehend what you read, people are talking about it not being as craptacular as their last two albums.  You obviously don't like Metallica, so why do you even post to this thread?  And, when you do post, why don't you point out examples of why you do or don't like it instead of making passive aggressive blanket statements?

Anyone can post that "that band sucks" or "here's an article and it sums it up for me" or personally attack somebody because they disagree.  But you have yet to actually mention anything that *you* dislike about this album and why *you* dislike Metallica.  I don't care about articles written by other people.  Anyone can parrot somebody else's view.

(Oh, and I believe that the phrase is actually spelled: "non compos mentis".  And how can your voice become not of sound mind? It doesn't make a lot of sense: "silence my voice forever into a not of sound mind status." )

Times do change. I have been listening to Rock for over 35 + years now and it's all coming full circle back to the roots which is the blues and R&B. Metallica has to make some changes to stay a up with the times. Their best albums were thier first few and JUSTICE FOR ALL and the Black album (can't remember the name).

Bands are a dime a dozen now and you have to be able to change to survive.

That was it.  It was just called the black album as far as I know.

Actually it was self-titled "Metallica" but is known as the black album for the black cover.
