snare sound is actually nails on this. some of the songs rip (some shitters as well - invisible kid is god awful). honestly not a bad album. riff on st. anger is fuckin heavy as all hell

St. Anger and Frantic in particular are fucking great

Album Rating: 2.5 | Sound Off

some of these were the first songs I ever learned on guitar, because they're simple but heavy and groovy.



Honestly, never having thought about it before, but a common problem with bad metal albums is clunky riffage. St Anger has tons of problems but the riffs are surprisingly pretty good.

I just spun this for the first time ever today out of sheer curiosity. It's not great, but not downright awful, I guess. A lot of low points for a few high points.



One glaring issue, though (besides Lars's Cuisinart drum kit): why are the songs so goddamn long??

I actually have so many questions but I'm sure they've been asked before so I won't bother here

luckily for you all answers can be found in the some kind of monster documentary. seriously it's amazing and a must watch. unintentionally hilarious, sad, bizarre. i still can't believe it was released.

I read a bit of the background on Wikipedia for fun, and it is indeed amazing that the album even exists. I'll try to check out that documentary if I have time, thanks for the rec!

'Some Kind of Monster' and 'Invisible Kid' are the clear highlights here

Yeah you gotta respect the balls of them to release it. I'd definitely not be comfortable to be so vulnerable on video.

oh absolutely and obviously they’ve grown just a bit since lol. it truly felt like a fly on the wall. seriously one of my favorite documentaries ever.

Album Rating: 1.0

I believe this is one of the worst albums I’ve ever heard. It sounds like Kyuss, but if Kyuss was a high school band just getting their feet wet, in the worst way possible. Real fucking amateur stuff for such a legendary band.

That's kinda harsh

This was the first Metallica album I bought as a young teen so I have a lot of nostalgia for it. I kinda dig it nowadays I don't hate it and I surely prefer it to reload. But if I'm being honest with myself the Only good thing about this album is the riffs tbh. Production sucks, drums, cringy lyrics, no solos, extremely repetitive songs, hetfield still brought the riffs tho. I dig it more than a lot of ppl from nostalgia but it's kinda shit yeah lol. Everything that makes a metal album "bad" is on full display here in full affect.

I don’t think it’s harsh I’m not budging on that lol more power to you if you like it.

the songs are actually really good, yeah, James' vocal style is arguable but the instrumentation is pretty great......always enjoyed the live renditions of these songs that were played
