What were they thinking?

What were I thinking when dragging this album out for another listen?

What were I thinking while making this thread?
 
They were not.

I was hoping it wasn't as bad as I remembered. It is worse.

I was thinking that Maiden Downunder is fucking boring, and I wish I loved everything like Blitz does.
 
Lars just shouldn't of tried to get a sound that was current with a few bands, then forget to produce the sound a bit. I have noticed a few bands that use a very snap sounding Snare, but the get the tinny sound out of it in production
 
St. Anger is a massive pile of shit. I thought it when I first heard it and I still think it. IM RIGHT TOO.

People who think its even remotely ok should be locked up.
 
You like St. Anger? It wouldnt be fair to fight someone so intellectually inferior to me Southy. It would be like Darth Vader taking on an Ewok.
 
I've only heard the 2 singles off of it.

They both sucked harder than hard. Poor songwriting, and indescribably bad production. I have produced better sounding recordings by sticking a few mics at random locations around the rehearsal room and running them into an old 4track.
 
I think it could have been a brilliant album, but it was just handled sooo poorly. Give it the production of the black album, or perhaps something similar to Load but heavier, and edit the crap out of the songs and cut and paste a few things, and it would have been brilliant. Alas.
There is still some good stuff on there though, Sweet Amber and The Unnamed Feeling are awesome songs, and there is other good bits here and there. The only song that I think completely blows and could not have been turned into something great, is Purify, what a piece of shit. Worst song Metallica have ever done.

What were you thinking when you spent money on it?
