Even in a game of comparing turds, someone still wins.

follow is the wrong word anyways, Metallica is probably the top5 biggest metal band still going if not #1--so they kinda get that information out

Where the fuck have you been? Dystopia is one of the best albums of 2016
There was a facebook group about metal opinions that used 'comparing turds'. Were you in that group?

It's the best new Metallica I've heard in about 25 years and it still sucks. If they turned James' annoying vocals down, layered the guitars like they used to so they actually have some heaviness instead of sounding like practice amps and included some slower heavy parts it'd possibly be ok.

I have this theory that Metallica set out to make the most bland and inoffensive album they could so that at the very least people will be happy it's not as bad as any of the other albums they've released in the last 25 years. That said we still haven't heard the rest of the album and they just might surprise us

Tbh while Dystopia is great that's not saying much.
They are such big fans they can't handle the fact that they quit making music worth listening to.

Re: Metallica
How do you become as mainstream and successful as they became and retain any degree of inspiration 35-36 years later that can fuel you to keep making great, or at least not mundane, music?
Especially if your band never really had any genuine, cohesive concept or point behind the music other than "fuck yeah loud shit."

Obviously that second part doesn't apply but Frank Zappa never quit making creative and not mundane music even though he had something of a weak moment in the 80s he still tried and managed to put out material that was worth listening to especially when it came to his live material. He ended on a pretty sweet note with albums like Civilization Phase III and Dance me this which again are great if you enjoy synclavier music.

OK then Voivod. Target earth and Post Society were both awesome and had actual musical integrity. They've been around just as long as Metallica even though the line up less stable.
Really imo they were only down for the Negatron, Phobos, and self titled run but then they got back on their feet with Katorz.

I mostly agree with this, except ,,,AJFA is quite an interesting and ambitious record even if I never listen to it these days. It's better than the snoozefest that is Master of Puppets.
