Niwid Posted June 24, 2003 Share Posted June 24, 2003 What do you think about the new Metallica album? Or do you even like Metallica at all? I think it goes back to their roots with a definite Kill'em All/Four Horseman sound. Hetfield's voice is much higher, and instead of his somewhat mellow sound, tends to yell. They did find a good bass replacement, Robert Trujillo from Black Sabbath. Tell me your thoughts on the album, or just contradict me and say they completely suck.

Boba Rhett Posted June 24, 2003 Share Posted June 24, 2003 I only enjoyed one or two of the songs. I could throw the rest away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

darthfergie Posted June 25, 2003 Share Posted June 25, 2003 It's not great...one or two songs like Rhett said. *puts back on headphones and start listening to Evanescence* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clefo Posted June 25, 2003 Share Posted June 25, 2003 Metallica's kinda lost it, I mean letting Avril Lavigne on their tribute show? Shameful! *Joins Fergie in Evanesance listening* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Niwid Posted June 25, 2003 Author Share Posted June 25, 2003 Avril *spits at the mere sound of it*......ruined a great song. Well, they have kind of degenerated in quality, but Black album still kicks. Now I must listen to even higher quality music! *Puts on original Evanescence cd, Origin* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Compa_Mighty Posted July 2, 2003 Share Posted July 2, 2003 I haven't listened the complete album but I didn't like St. Anger. I'm not a big Metallica fan, but the Black Album is one of the best rock records ever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nitro Posted July 2, 2003 Share Posted July 2, 2003 I think the new cd sounds like bad early 80's punk/grunge coming out of a cat's *******. But that's just me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth Homer Posted July 2, 2003 Share Posted July 2, 2003 I don't care for the new single, haven't even bothered with the new CD Goes and puts on some real music...LED ZEPPELIN with a QUEEN chaser Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heavyarms Posted July 4, 2003 Share Posted July 4, 2003 I hate that stupid single. It's so long and the words get stuck in your head too easily! It drives me insane! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pbguy1211 Posted July 4, 2003 Share Posted July 4, 2003 i'm still waiting before i buy the album... but I woulnd't say St. Anger is BAD. I'd just say it's different. They obviously don't play the same stuff they did 15 years ago, because that was 15 years ago. The band has evolved. It may not have evolved into something you like, but they've evolved nonetheless. They've also changed a LOT with the change in bass players each time. Keep in mind they've been the backup vocals as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Niwid Posted July 4, 2003 Author Share Posted July 4, 2003 I will definately agree that the songs are too long.... But what really makes me mad is that with length generally comes awesome solos....but there isn't a single guitar solo to be seen(err....heard)!!! Kirk is normally quite good with solos too.....my personal favorite is the one on Enter Sandman. And the single is wayyy too catchy.....been stuck in my head since the first time I heard it. Must.....drown....out..... *sings* Goin off the rails..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pbguy1211 Posted July 5, 2003 Share Posted July 5, 2003 Yeah in this day and age 7 minutes in a bit long for a single. Don't get me wrong I love long songs.... if they're good. I'm a huge Floyd fan so I'm used to the 15-20 minute epics... but they aren't the same verse over, and OVER again with the same riffs... St. Anger could DEFINATELY have been shortened.

Clefo Posted July 5, 2003 Share Posted July 5, 2003 If its good enough, the same verses and riffs again for 7 some odd minutes can work. "Where The River Goes" from STP's "Core" album comes to mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pbguy1211 Posted July 5, 2003 Share Posted July 5, 2003 that was 7 minutes? hrm... core was my favorite stp album... the others were all kinda lame. see what drugs can do? they make you play sh*tty music! don't believe me? ask eddie vedder!

XERXES Posted July 7, 2003 Share Posted July 7, 2003 I got the album purely so that my Metallica album collection is complete again. I dont like it very much though, the single..St. Anger I really cant stand it. I just simply dont like that new bassist. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry but I think it's alot worse than Fallen...maybe one or two of the songs I think are good and one of those two is a direct song from Fallen...almost the exact same cut in fact (My Immortal). Most of the songs on there arn't all that polished...lots of things that are just WRONG with it. *puts Fallen back on* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KoRndrumnkilla Posted July 14, 2003 Share Posted July 14, 2003 The new St. Anger cd kicks a**. It dosen't matter what anyone else says. My opinion matters. The people that don't know metal-rock music dont. And I think Metallica was as pissed as me about Avril *pukes in disgusts then shoots shotgun at picture of her in rage in rage* covering one of there songs on Icon. That was a digrace. Beside's, the new cd is a new thing for Metallica. It shows a little of there punk side. It sounds awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Billy Shears Posted July 14, 2003 Share Posted July 14, 2003 "St. Anger. This pretentious ponderous collection of religious rock psalms is enough to prompt the question: "On what day did the Lord create Metallica and couldn't he have rested on that day too?"

Clefo Posted July 14, 2003 Share Posted July 14, 2003 Meh, all the good bands from the 90s are either really crappy nowadays (Metallica) Dead (Soundgarden, Nirvana, Sublime) or not doing **** (Pearl Jam, Stone Temple Pilots, Green Day). Nowadays the radio's filled with pseudo-punk and constipated angry rock, bands don't have any diverse themes in their albums, just angst (i.e Linkin Park). Sure there are exceptions, but it's mostly that. And I really can't differentiate St. Anger from, say, a song by Chavelle. It's just more angry.
