Shadowmire

Drbebop
06.17.20 | Cliff is god that’s why |

06.17.20 | i just listened to invisible kid for jokes and holy shit is that song awful |

06.17.20 | So some notes on my choices here. I originally wasn’t going to feature the best and worst songs in my opinion given how itchy Metallica fans can get but I decided that wouldn’t be right. Anyway
St Anger is enjoyable. It’s not amazing by any stretch of the imagination and the production is shocking in some places but as it stands it’s a solid record. Compared to their other work though, it falls flat
Death Magnetic and Hardwired jumped around loads before finding where they are today. Hardwired falls apart a bit in the middle but has a great beginning and ending, while Death Magnetic has a great middle and a fairly weak start imo.
Don’t Tread on Me suuuucks
Load similarly falls apart a bit near the end where as I feel Reload was far more concise and on point with its hooks and riffs. That being said Mama Said is great
Ride the Lightning and Master of Puppets are pretty much interchangeable but MOP just barely won. Consider them both 10s
Now for the elephant in the room: Lulu. Yes it’s weird and difficult and long and fairly basic by their standards but the immense crackhead energy it gives off, Lou’s extremely vivid poetry and the experimentation on it, particularly on Frustration and Junior Dad (that eight minute string finale tho) make it really stand out. I first heard the record while I had a fever and it was just blasting in the background and I felt like I was coming up. Suppose I have a soft spot for it. I am the table |
Egarran
06.17.20 | What about Garage Days Revisited? Love that album. |
Drbebop
06.17.20 | I tell you, Bigweinerdon, when I first heard the OOOOHHHOOOHH verse deep in the song where James starts croon moan singing I was scream laughing it was so bad |
Drbebop
06.17.20 | It’s part of Garage Inc technically, Egarran so its songs were up for inclusion on the best and worst section but I felt the 98 sessions held up better imo. Still a solid EP. Last Caress/Green Hell and The Small Hours are both fantastic |
Drbebop
06.17.20 | Also I originally had Beyond Magnetic on here but cut it out cause it’s not an album. It would’ve slotted in between Hardwired and Load |
Yahwehisking
06.17.20 | Yeah Lulu is frighteningly bad but props for having a different opinion than the rest of the population. And I wouldve put Death Magnetic higher. For sure its is a little uneven but its got some great highlights. |
Ziggity
06.17.20 | 5 is 1 |
Pangea
06.17.20 | decent ranking i would put reload lower and load higher though |

06.17.20 | Incidentally, here's proof that classic 'Tallica could also do very, very wrong. What was James thinking?! Did he actually think the chorus sounded good sung like that? Thank fuck they didn't go with that vocal line for the final version!
