Seriously, Lars drums on St. Anger are likely the most annoying fucking sounds I've ever heard from a drum set.

Yes.

Worst. Snare. Sound. Ever.

 

[Hatebreeder]

Oh shut it for once, please?

My apologies.

Anyway, I have listened to St. Anger (mostly due to my friend's obsession with all things Metallica) and I have never liked it.

Kinda sounds like he just used pots and pans as drums.

lol @ this quote.

That's ridiculously funny. Thanks for finding that.

 

[Thoth-Amon]

the people who talk the most shit about st. anger don't ever seem to have actually listened to it.

the most metal thing the biggest "metal" band on earth could have done was release an album that sounds like shit in an aluminum shed.


not that it was great or anything, but "teh drumz r liek trashkanzz lerlerlerl" isn't any kind of valid criticism.

Actually it would be the most punk thing to do. Not the most metal.
And yes the drum sound is awful. It certainly is a valid criticism if the sound is constantly grating on you for 80 minutes.

I'm a newcomer to hip hop so I only listen to nas, old mobb deep, tupac, ghostface, Some of MF doom, immortal technique, canibus and jedi mind tricks,

I don't listen to too much Hip-Hop anymore but I have to recommend Aesop Rock

Exactly right. My 5 year old nephew sitting on his arse in the kitchen with a spoon and some frying pans. Next Metallica drummer?

metal observer is a terrible site

you can probably count the number of <7 ratings on one hand :/

That basically wraps up the whole article, too.

If it hadn't sounded like shit it would've been an enjoyable album, too. A little too simple but the vocals are awesome and the lyrics are too. It's so sad that such a glaring problem ruined an otherwise good album.

Perhaps it's because too much of the time the reviewers choose to review stuff that they liked rather than random shit that was handed to them.

LOL I just read this on wikipedia (talking about ...and justice for all)

"The song structures on ...And Justice for All were so complex that the band apparently had some difficulty reproducing the songs precisely for their Damaged Justice tour shows. The band stated many times in subsequent years that this kind of difficulty was the primary reason for the relatively simpler song structures on their next album, Metallica. Hammett said: "One day after we played 'Justice' and got off the stage one of us said, 'we're never fucking playing that song again.'"


was that album really that complex??

I do not see it as being overly complex. Metallica are not exactly prodigies and use to heavily booze so playing a 9 minute song could seem like a nightmare for them. I have no idea.
