[no country for old wainds]

load is better than the black album let alone st anger

Lyrics about love/relationships are not inherently more thoughtful than any other sort of lyrics, you queer.

Not inherently, no.
But in general, I think.
Or maybe not, I don't listen to a lot of shitty romantic pop.
Come to think of it, the last love song I listened to was Motorhead - Too Good To Be True (which is an awesome song).

 

[Blind Guardian]

Standard metal lyrics doesn´t have to be boring,although most are. Watain is a good example though,the lyrics doesn´t neccesarily have to mean something to you personally but in Watains case i just enjoy reading them while hearing the music,lyrics that create pictures in your head. Metallica is one of the better metal bands lyrically.

 

[Zephyrus]

That would be a first for you, I think.

He has made a few threads that generated good discussion, though his participation was scarce even within those threads.

 

[mutantllama]

^Truth. Also, a lot of the time the threads are made to get things back on topic.

 

[waif]

true, like the guns thread.

It's just that people always set these oppositions up in such an unfair way. When people praise some lyrical approach at the expense of metal lyrics it always seems that they are opposing something they view as good or valuable against metal clichés, but I could do exactly the same thing in the opposite direction because anything that has solidified into a genre or trend has its fair share of insipid clichés. Furthermore, something is not of higher value merely because it concerns itself with introspection or some human feeling.

 

[Blind Guardian]

Anyone else feel obliged to buy this new Metallica outing although you´re90% sure it´s going to be crap? I shouldn´t buy this considering what a huge letdown st anger was but still i´m probably going to for some reason. I mean,if it wasn´t for what they´ve done over 20 years ago they probably wouldn´t even be able to get a record deal with the song material of current years.

Yeah, I agree, definitely.

I own all their others, might as well...it also seems like it might be good.

They'll have tracks on Myspace, and that will be enough for my judgment.

 

[Uncreation]

Well, I'll probably get it. No reason not to, really. Only 1 album I don't like from them, so there's no reason to not buy it based on that.

 

[Zephyrus]

What happened to chicken man?

 

[Uncreation]

He lost his magical poultry superpowers and faded into obscurity.

 

[Zephyrus]

He was usurped by my pals Budgie.

No. I haven't bought a Metallica album since Justice, and I am thinking about tossing that one in the camp fire. Why would I feel obliged to buy anything from any band?

 

[Life Sucks]

And Justice for All is my favourite Metallica album. I hate anything after it, though.

same here. black album was the downfall of metallica

 

[Winter.]

More like Death Pathetic, amirite?

Honestly, if I can hear the bass on this album, that will be a step in the right direction in and of itself

Not looking forward to this album... it's just screaming FLOP at me.

Saint Anger 'round my neck
Saint Anger 'round my neck
He never gets respect
Saint Anger 'round my neck

You flush it out, You flush it out
Saint Anger 'round my neck
You flush it out, You flush it out
He never gets respect

You do know you could just not post at all right? You're a weird mother fucker

He was looking at Manowar and you know what looking at Manowar does.
