"Metallica's music wouldn't sound right if the drums were more technical. Sometimes simple is best and I think that applies here."



I agree but his playing is still very sloppy

Eh. Not really. They'd still be just as much Metallica with a better drummer.

For the first few albums Lars quirkiness/inexperience works in the favor of the band. The odd playing is surprisingly complimentary of the rest of the music.

I find Lars from Ride the Lightning to Reload to be pretty acceptable, with the obvious peak being AJFA. St Anger on tho...

"with the obvious peak being AJFA. "



Despite the drums sounding very stale and clicky, plus how he single handedly killed all the bass on that album? (They SERIOUSLY need to remaster that one with proper bass lines)

Yes.



The drums sound absolutely fine.



The album is in no way hurt by it's lack of bass.
