      Actually us old folks will be arguing that the cliff they fell off was the black album and how Bob Rock ruined Metallica.

      [–]ihabtom 25 points26 points ago

      Sonically, Bob made them sound better. He should never have driven the song-writing process, though. I love the production values on TBA, Load, Reload and Garage Inc. We won't talk about St. Anger.

      [–]GoddamnDiplomat 15 points16 points ago

      I liked St. Anger

      [–]ihabtom 13 points14 points ago

      I like parts of it. It had a certain charm at times.

      I understand the concept. They wanted to make it a raw, unproduced record that sounded like something recorded in someone's garage. You can literally hear the band falling apart around that record. Really, that record was as close to sonic-rehab as you're going to get. They made up for it with Death Magnetic, which was a testament to what Hetfield/Ulrich song-writing is all about.

      [–]ycerovce 3 points4 points ago

      Oh definitely. I love how raw and emotional St. Anger feels. I don't always like to listen to songs that are like that, but when I do, I'd rather it be from one of my favorite bands. The Unnamed Feeling and Sweet Amber are just so.... spine chilling. When you sing along, you can feel what Hetfield was going through.

      I mean, I don't always wanna hear a song about vague scenarios and general ideas, you know?

      [–]JCJen7 0 points1 point ago

      Oh man, Purify, in my opinion, is one of their greatest songs.

      Some Kind of Monster and the title-track are pretty sweet as well.

      The rest of the songs...whooo, not so much.

      [–]ycerovce 0 points1 point ago

      Yeah, see, I loved those too. About the others, for me, it was more if a like. I could listen to them if they came on my player, but wouldn't seek them outright.

      [–]LocalMadman 1 point2 points ago

      BURN THE INFIDEL!!

      Just kidding. Before St. Anger came out I got tons of shit for liking Load/Reload. shrug

      You mean you didn't appreciate Lars Trash Can banging skills, off Frantic?

      [–]SSJwiggy 6 points7 points ago

      I mostly agree. I liked the Black Album, but almost everything (I liked a couple songs from Load/Re-Load) was trashy. I just recently listened to Death Magnetic (first non-Bob Rock album since And Justice For All...), though, and think it's a great album.

      [–]snaxe 9 points10 points ago

      You can't argue the facts. Metallica fell when they ran out of Cliff's influence, and then Bob Rock proceeded to ruin them. Not just bent the corner ruin, shit in cereal ruin.

      But anyway, this conversation can wait for another 30 years.

      [–]ch1ck3nch4s3r 22 points23 points ago

      And Justice For All... was a great album. Your argument is invalid.

      [–]snaxe 9 points10 points ago

      Cliff helped write some of the material for "... And Justice for All", however the bass parts were all performed by Jason Newstead, and they are terrible. His tone is so scooped that it has no chance of cutting through the scooped guitar sounds on top of it. ... And Justice for All has got to be in the top 10 best albums that have the absolute worst recording quality. Regardless of how good the music is, the album sounds terrible. Plus, the album lacks the energy the previous 3 had. While some of the songs on ... And Justice for All are good, some of the songs have the lazy writing that encompasses the self-titled black album. After about the first 4 songs (with the exception of track 8), I'm done.

      My statement of "when they ran out of Cliff's influence" stands. Cliff influenced ... And Justice for All.

      [–]FiveEarthMinutes 4 points5 points ago

      Didn't they turn down the volume of the bass in "...And Justice For All"? It was some sort of weird hazing ritual for Newstead being the new guy.

      After listening to S&M and hearing Newstead play live, I have to say I was blown away by his abilities.

      [–]snaxe 2 points3 points ago

      People really believe the hazing joke? That's like saying you believe that Kurt Cobain was genuinely imitating Jim Morrison rather than sabotaging the pseudo live performance on Top of the Pops just to stick it to them for not letting them play live. A band with certified gold records doesn't purposely a botch a portion of their recordings just to fuck with a member of the band. That's their bread and butter you're talking about.

      The truth is, either the recording or the mixing was crap. Metallica always used Mesas with a very scooped sound, and in that album, Jason's bass recording was this terribly wimpy scooped sound that didn't offer up any sound on top of what their guitars already sounded like. It wasn't any louder or quieter than Cliff's playing, it just got buried under the guitars. Cliff's bass and/or gear gave off a completely different tone that was able to cut through against the two guitars.

      You can hear it in the multi-track recordings floating around on the internet. Jason doesn't play bad, but his sound on that album was weak and offered very little in the way of frequencies that the guitars weren't already doing.

      [–]squidonthebass 0 points1 point ago

      | "Metallica always used Mesas with a very scooped sound"

      Not to be particular, but they used Marshall's for Kill 'em All and Ride The Lightning.

      Also, I think a large part of the situation that gets overlooked is that Jason used a pick, while Cliff plucked his bass. The two create two very different tones that can either cause a bass tone to stick out or blend in, depending on the other instruments. In this case, Jason's picking blended far too much with the guitars on Justice..., and the combination of that and the low mix made him about as loud as a cell phone speaker at a Sunn O))) concert.

      [–]ihabtom 2 points3 points ago

      I might be the only person here who thinks it wasn't that great. It was musical masturbation for the most part. It didn't have the dynamics that MoP and RtL had. It was a great thrash record, but far from their best work.

      [–]joop2323 1 point2 points ago

      As a bassist, I cannot agree with this.

      [–]ch1ck3nch4s3r 0 points1 point ago

      Well, as a drummer, I can't agree that any Metallica album is great...

      [–]joop2323 1 point2 points ago

      Lars may be a weak drummer, but they do make up for it with good song structure

      [–]ch1ck3nch4s3r 0 points1 point ago

        I think they started going downhill when Cliff died, and then they ran out of stuff to steal from Dave Mustaine

        [–]jaxter19 3 points4 points ago

        Yeah, because a huge drug problem didn't have anything to do with it.

        [–]CaptInsane 2 points3 points ago

        And you'll note that part of the reason St. Anger came out in the first place is because James checked himself into rehab (albeit for alcohol). Besides, Dave only became a druggie after getting booted out of Metallica (he was just a drunk first).

            As a nurse in a hospital. Somehow got to that topic by sending a woman named Myrna off to a nursing home for physical therapy. We realized there weren't going to be a lot of women named Myrna in the hospital in a few decades.

            [–]pizzaparty183 1 point2 points ago

            [–]pizzaparty183 0 points1 point ago

            I've actually been thinking about this a lot lately for whatever reason. Like I wonder what music is gonna sound like 20, 30, 40 years from now. It's changed so much in the past 40 years it's hard to imagine. Probably the music on the radio will continue to be garbage but I wonder about everything else.

            so the black album was bad? whatever you say

            [–]femaiden 8 points9 points ago

            The first four are thrash metal classics. The black album was a mainstream metal classic and a damn good hard rock album.

            And sidenote, AJFA has really shitty production which is why I will never love it like the other 3.

            Another sidenote... Saw them at the Big 4 show at Yankee Stadium. Fuck the haters. Metallica still rules the world.

            [–]TheMartinConan 0 points1 point ago

            Hell yea. I read they were only supposed to play like 2 shows in Mexico City but ended up playing something like 9.

            Saw 'tallica at Outside Lands this year and they were fucking awesome. They may not be the thrash metal band they used to be, but they still rock harder than most bands out there.

              This could also be because i used Load as a soundtrack while playing Descent.

              [–]wiggen_tree 1 point2 points ago

              St. Anger. I call it stanger or stanker interchangeably because I feel that by mispronouncing the title my utter contempt for the album is made abundantly clear. Obviously I am mistaken in my assumption, I apologize for any confusion caused.

              [–]JHallComicsJHallComics 1 point2 points ago

              I see.

              I love Load and ReLoad, I also like St. Anger. They are albums for different moods, and there is a really raw intensity to St. Anger that makes it enjoyable.

              [–]wiggen_tree 0 points1 point ago

              To each his own. If I'm perfectly honest I really don't hate it as much as I used to, but that goes with everything as you get older. I certainly wouldn't dig it out of a box to listen to it though. To me, it sounds like they decided to jump on the Nu-Metal bandwagon 6 years too late, then got bored while making it and just released the demos.

              [–]dsaavedra 0 points1 point ago

              [–]Szalkow 4 points5 points ago

              Confession Bear time: I liked The Unforgiven II better than the first one. Reload was solid. As long as we all agree that St. Anger was crap, I think we're okay.

              [–]LegatoBlue 0 points1 point ago

              NO!

              I accept that you like Unforgiven II. I think it's ok but how can you think that it's better than Unforgiven?

              I'm not asking in a accusatory tone, I'm legitimately curious as to what your logic is. Unforgiven is... epic. Unforgiven II is not.

              [–]Szalkow 1 point2 points ago

              They're both great, but there's a very different feel to them. The Unforgiven #1 is more of an ballad which, while epic, doesn't get me in the mood quite like Unforgiven II does. II has the great riffs and structure of its predecessor with a solid beat and flair that rocks me the right way.

              My general barometer of rock and metal songs could probably be summed up as, "how well would this song sync up with a badass preparation/transition scene in an action movie?" If the song conjures up images of Bruce Willis driving to the bad guy's hideout with a trunk full of guns, it's a winner in my book.

              [–]CaidenTheGreat 5 points6 points ago

              I can see how someone might like Load and Reload, but its not for me...

              [–]CaptInsane 3 points4 points ago

              If you forget St Anger was a Metallica album, then it's not bad, but onces you connect it back to Metallica, it's total shit. You can thank Bob Rock for that abortion

              [–]BrittanyRenegade 5 points6 points ago

              The only thing bad about St. Anger other than the fact that the whole album was very dark and depressing is the way the record was produced. The sound was fucking awful. Lars is a great drummer but whatever the fuck they did with the snare drum on that album kills it.

              Yea every song had the same sound. It was hard to listen to. Even Load/Reload had a couple great songs. Different isn't the problem. Death Magnetic was a lot heavier than anything else they have done and its a pretty great album. Nothing can beat the classics though.

              [–]CaptInsane 2 points3 points ago

              No there are none on the recorded album. But when i saw them last, kirk played a solo when they played purify.

              [–]JHallComicsJHallComics 0 points1 point ago

              I believe they decided to add solos live because of the backlash from the fans over the lack of solos on the album. And then everyone got pissed that the solos didn't fit the songs live. It's like you can't win. So much butthurt.

              St. Anger i don't even acknowledge. I kinda lost interest in Metallica's new stuff after their Garage Album.

              [–]herenseti 0 points1 point ago

              Fortunately it wasn't just a metallica album, they were only half responsible for it.

              [–]ihabtom 6 points7 points ago

              I don't get it either. People would rather them be Slayer and release the same fucking record every other year. I'd rather a band experiment and fail than rehash the same shit for a quick buck.

              People make that argument about Korn too. I'm not a huge fan of theirs, but I give them credit for not making the same record twice.

              [–]JHallComicsJHallComics 2 points3 points ago

              Fucking THANK you. It's like, if you want to hear MOP again and again then fucking listen to it. As a band, Metallica has taken way more chances and were braver than most influential acts coming out of the 80's and 90's. People generally don't give them the time of day and make up their minds before actually hearing anything simply because it's Metallica. It has been said, and I agree, that if Sonic X released "St Anger" it would be critically acclaimed.

              Meanwhile, Slayer hasn't done anything new since 1986 and people think they're the kings of metal.

              [–]JHallComicsJHallComics 0 points1 point ago

              Yeah I mean I've always held the belief that Slayer is good at making one album. It's a good album, if you're into that, but they aren't really a great band in that regard.

              [–]WolfInTheField 0 points1 point ago

              I actually like these albums too, but they are nonetheless obviously commercial efforts. Metalheads are very good at feeling betrayed, but these two records really were a punch to any hardcore metallica fan's nuts.

              [–]Lyianx 0 points1 point ago

              They are different moods me. No, they are not 'thrash' like we were use to hearing, but i enjoy the heavier sound they bring when im in the mood for metal but not something that fast. (it really is good background gaming music)

              [–]shitpplsay 7 points8 points ago

              It is actually scientific fact that Metallica's hair length is in direct correlation to their album quality http://www.thegauntlet.com/article/339/15676/Does-hair-length-affect-Metallicas-songwriting

              [–]Abedeus 0 points1 point ago

              Now, we just have to somehow force them to grow their hair to 3 feet each.

              Without breaking their hands, they might need them.

              Except the bassist.

              [–]SodaNinja 0 points1 point ago

              Well they certainly have the cash for hair color for men.

              Agreed. Metallica hit their highpoint in the late 80's to early 90's. I was a freshman in high school at this point and I'll tell you this I will NOT be anywhere NEAR a retirement home in 30 years.

              I'm from the future and I can confirm that the odds of you being in a nursing home at age 48 is slim. You'll probably be dead.

              The future is bleak. Ever since that Dec 21, 2012 event... No one thought anything of it seriously but wow. That day changes everything forever.

                  I thought this as well. Whats even funnier is that old people complain about kids being out of control these days, but the metal heads, when they turn geriatric, will complain how pussified the kids are.

                  "When I was a kid, we would go out and smoke dope and do beer runs, and get into fights! Not complain about how much life sucks and crying into a pillow."

Lela comes in and asks him when he's going to quit acting like a loser sitting in his apartment listening to classical music. The song he is listening to is by Sir-Mix-A-Lot.

                  The "Bob Rock" curse is a real thing and shouldn't be joked about. Sure, he'll produce your best selling album but everything you record afterwards will either seem contrived or a blatant attempt to pander to your original core of fans.
