5, for Ride The Lightning alone.
One of those bands that shouldāve called it a day after ā¦ five albums.
Kill Em All 4/5
Ride the Lightning 5/5
Master of Puppets 4/5
ā¦And Justice for All 4/5
The rest are fuckinā bobbins.
3/5
(this was meant to be a general reply, not to you @AcceptanceIII - soz)
Easy easy easy 5, even with all the garbage that came after the Black Album.
Kill Em All kickstarted a whole genre and a stupid amount of sub genres, and And Justice For All is a bit too over the top but still great. But Ride The Lightning and Master of Puppets are both very nearly perfect albums. Even if itās not your thing, the level of songwriting and musicianship on those is outstanding. Cliff Burton was an absolute genius and taken far too soon.
Lots wrong with them but for their initial run up until their commercial peak, their innovation and their influence in the genre, itās a 5 for me. If youāre not a fan but not really given them a try, would urge you to at least check out Fade To Black, Welcome Home (Sanitarium), Orion (maybe Call of Ktulu as well) and One - good departures from their general āsoundā and absolutely fantastic tracks.
In American comedies and that they always use Metallica as an example of someone being āwildā. āI canāt believe youāre getting married, seems like only yesterday we were at the Metallica concertā etc. Think that puts me off trying again with them tbh. You know Guy Fieri off the food channel? I bet he fucking loves Metallica.
thereās a few bangers on death magnetic imo (also some shit on there, obvs)
Canāt really hear their influence in the work of his band, smash mouth
Solid 4/5, everything up to, and including, .ā¦And Justice for All is absolutely fucking fantastic. After that is a huge pile of meh but, fuck, those early albums slap.
Thanks to them headlining seemingly every big festival Iāve ever attended Iāve seen them more than just about any other band. And Iām not really a fan. They just wonāt stop turning up and playing entirely solid sets of songs Iām not that fussed about.
Canāt give them less than 3 for the stuff I like, canāt give them any more because Iām sick of the sight of them. LEAVE ME ALONE METALLICA!
Copy and paste this for the nicest guy in rock and his foo fighting posse
I donāt like them much, but I do have fond memories of seeing them headline at some metal festival and a mate of mine belting out the words āSAND PATROLā to Sad But True, which caused loads of people to turn around and stare at him. Turns out he thought those were the actual lyrics, despite the title of the song.
For the tears of laughter that caused at the time, Iām going 2/5
Love this. In the context of the rest of the lyrics itās kinda beautiful.
Iām your dream, mind astray
Iām your eyes while youāre away
Iām your pain while you repay
YOU KNOW ITāS SAND PATROL!
It says a lot that theyāve been touring pretty much the same set for at least twenty years. If theyād broken up after the self titled album theyād be an easy 5, that first run of albums is great and Master Of Puppets is an absolute riff fest.
Itās weird that people talk about them reinventing themselves in the 90s because Load and Reload are just duller versions of what came before. St Anger is funny if only because itās so bad. Not bothered with anything after that.
They were a formative band for a lot of my friends but I never really had any emotional connection with them short of going āoh yeah this is a bangerā if I heard Battery.
3/5
Funkhouser restaurant analogy for every HGATR band, pls (or at least the bad ones)
They are the subject of one of my favourite jokes:
How does James Hetfield like his toast? BUTTERY!
3/5
Maybe he thought it was some sort of gulf war political commentary.
I like to stick what I know; slagging things off and food.
Iām imagining it as a really dark CBeebies show about a life guard whoās probably a dog for some reason and has some dark secrets.
think this is true for me as well, but thereās so many bangers I canāt not give them a fiveboy
