[QUOTE=RoaRing_Roach]Here we go...

This album was announced the worst of the year and most people will agree
I am probably the exception of this forum.I love the album!However,it's a bad production cant deny it.
I just want to point out that the snare drum isnt supposed to be with the snares put on all the time(some people say it sounds like Lars is bashing tins just because the snares are off)
I adore Lars' drummin this time and kirk's riffs.The last two songs shoudnt exist
I won't take into consideration the production cause it doesnt bother me.I still bang my head!
3.8/5[/QUOTE]

Hi to you clueless, this album totally sucked the big one. Taking Back Sunday's new CD is better than this one. All the other Metallica CDs kicked so much *** too :(

Or think of it another way...I have one more cd that I can enjoy than you
taking back what??Jesus Christ!

[QUOTE=Prodigal_Suns_Rock]The songs do get really repetitive. The lyrics are also really bad. They seem like James is just makin **** up. It took me a bit but i did eventually get into the album. I have to go from start to end though.[/QUOTE]

lars and kirk wrote a lot of the lyrics if not all of them...im not sure if hetfield contributed to the lyrics on this album. overall i havent listened to it, the pangy snare drum has annoyed me too much, st anger and frantic sounded good live when they came in to town, other than that thumbs down to that album

i think metallica should have stick to what they are good at which is whisky enhanced vocals and long heavy solos.
im pretty shure i spent 20$ on a big piece of s*** :angry:
i award them no points and may god have mercy on their souls

I think this was their worst album ever.... but it wasn't that bad.
It's cool that they are using different tunings instead of standard and the songs weren't that bad.
The most annoying part about the album was the repetitiveness and those **** snare drums. And it was under produced.
hopefully they stay true to their roots on the next album


I still love tallica and they've made kickass music
I'm gonna give this album 3.5/5

I don't know what the big dissapointment is all about...metallica sucks now just as much as they have sucked always. The only good thing about Metallica was CLiff Burto, if there has ever been something good about them...

i really liked the guitars on invisible kid. they weren't as muddy and the riffs are insanely heavy. the unnamed feeling was good too. i loved how when they played dirty window live, kirk threw in a solo. i hate how people say that metallica has sold out and only play ****.ty music now. i saw them in denver last april and i was blown away. the only songs they played from the last decade were three off of st. anger and fuel. everything else was old stuff. i loved it.

When I first got this cd I thought to myself how could this possible be Metallica. Then the next day I put it in my home CD player cranked it up real loud and took another listen. I first heard Frantic. At first It didn't even sound like the same CD to me. The guitar seemed louder with the volume up and drowed the drums out. I thought how awsome off a song Frantic was. Then St.Anger, I thought well a nice beginning and not to bad. I give the first 2 songs a 4/5. Next was Some Kind Of Monster, Dirty Window, and Invisible Kid. I was sold I finally relised this was a good CD. Then came My World, Shoot Me Again, and Sweet Amber. My world had such an agressive beginning it was awsome. Shoot Me Again had such and awsome meaning I always listen to it before football games. Then Sweet Amber awsome intro good lyrics and overall a pretty good song. Then came the Unnamed Felling just a good song with an awsome corus.

I give it a 2/10

Its definatly metallicas worst album but if you pretend its not metallica then you can enjoy the album. A good snare and solos in the parts where they repeat themselfs would have made this album great.

btw have any of you noticed that metallica only started to suck when they started working with bob rock?

I knid of like this album. I REALLY like Some Kind Of Monster, and I can't wait to see the film over in da UK. St. Anger the song is alright, the rest is OK. Hetfield sounds good imo, especially on SKOM and St. Anger, his voice sounds rougher, more mature whereas on previous records it was very 80's, not very defined, blended in too much etc. Although Metallica are not my fave band by a long shot, I prefer this album to Master of Puppets and Justice for all, which are the other MET albums I ownbecuase it sounds more modern (I like 80's pop, 60's rock, but not 80's metal!). The drumming isn't bad, but the trebly snare pisses me off, but on St. Anger and SKOM it is played down a little so I don't mind.

[QUOTE=metallica_pyro]9 out of 5!! One of Metallica's best albums!![/QUOTE]


are you ****ing joking! that was their worst album so far! In my opinion all of their albums up to the black album have had some of the best music on i have ever heard! It aint terrible but it aint exactly their style of music.

you've gota give 'em brownie points for trying

2.5/5 (mainly for trying something new)

[QUOTE=jimmymcmahon2001]This is album is good in small doses. I can listen to each song at a time, but i cant do it all at once. The first time i listend to it, i got a headache at song 7.
Each song on its own is all right, but as a whole, its un listenable.
2/5[/QUOTE]

Atleast i've got an album that will put me to sleep at night! no joke it's my sleep music.

but i understand what your saying the drums are very annoying!!!!!

[QUOTE=Raijo]Metallica's best effort, 1000000/5 :rolleyes:[/QUOTE]



ARE YOU ON DRUGS????????? I MEAN GEEZ WTF WERE YOU THINKING WHEN YOU WROTE THAT HAVE YOU NOT HEARD THEIR TRULY GREAT SONGS FROM THE EARLY DAYS WHEN YOU WERE A WEE NIPER AND I WERNT BORN!

I'm this guys friend you say he can't spell then look at you

there worst album, but still a lot better then most albums released today. 3.5/5.

-1 production -1 lack of solos -1 "ooo what a good boy you are"
+1 lars drumming (sounded crap, but it swung like never before)
+0.5 DVD

[QUOTE=manuscriptreplica]i tend to agree with Bartender - just because its **** compared to old metallica doesnt make it the worst album ever and deserving of .5/5. like really, you cannot possibly conceive a good charlotte CD is better than this.
i gave it a 3/5... i couldnt really care if they 'sold out' im sure they had enough money that they didnt need to go mainstream to get more money, its to expand their fan base. i am sure their next album will be back to 80's metallica and everyone will love them again.
well thats what i think anyways[/QUOTE]
I really hope you're correct, and if you are, well I'll go out on the town and shout everyone drinks.

I must of wrote that a while ago

drop c is ok for a couple of songs, but not for a whole album. drums are **** too, and the singing is too repetitive. this is my first metallica album, i was going to buy black. i think maybe i should've.

:upset: ---> CAPS LOCK :smoke:


EVERYBODY SELL OUT!!! you'll make more Money!!! :eek: :lol:

No Quality
 

This Album has no quality and without quality in their songs they sound like starters.

Nothing else to say about St. Anger

Before this pice of **** came out Metallica was my favorite band. Since then my my favorite band has swiched to Metallica's biggist rival, MEGADETH. So that just goes to show you that putting out a piece of **** you can lose avid fans.

This album has gotton a hell of a lot of attention as well as selling quite a few records. There is still talk about it, even now, so in the commercial world the album gets a 4/5. But there's no getting around that Lars's drums are awful, they tuned to drop C and quit soloing, and Hetfield had some of the worst vocals/lyrics ever. For these reasons, I give it a 1/5.

this guy was way off about Hetfields voice hes always in Key on that album......
