Yeah. No bass either :wink:

I grew up on metal and metal adjacent music, so I should have loved this. But I donā€™t and I never did.

For something thatā€™s supposed to be one of the pinnacles of metal I think it sounds really tame, which is possibly something to do with the production. Itā€™s too clean.

These days if Iā€™m listening to heavy music I prefer it to be either crushingly slow and hypnotic or so fast it sounds like a droning blur of sound. This is neither of those things. And James Hetfieldā€™s voyyyeeeeeaaaaaccaah does my head in.

Thatā€™s ā€¦and justice, Cliffā€™s bass is fantastic.

It was a comment about how the production basically minimised the bass until the Black Album. This is what they said in Some Kind of Monster

Itā€™s a cracking album. Easy 10. One of the best metal records of all time. I love it

Iā€™ve never seen some kind of monster. I donā€™t need that in my life :scream:

Voted for James Brown as Iā€™ve never quite got round to listening to an album by him, will be a good excuse.

MoP is just one of those albums that bemuse/amuse me. Nothing against it, just not for me. Itā€™s obviously considered an absolute classic.

Oh dude, you absolutely do. Itā€™s a masterpiece.

Wasnā€™t that just because they never really accepted Jason Newstead?

An almost perfect metal album let down by some of the drumming. I donā€™t always mind Larsā€™ pedestrian plodding, but sometimes you can literally hear him counting beats. Particularly in fills.

I think I probably prefer Ride the Lightning on balance but theyā€™re still both 10s. Changed my best song vote from Battery to Orion because itā€™s sorely underappreciated.

Itā€™s undeniable quality makes the subsequent 35(!) years of Metallica seem even more terrible and confusing.

Only good thing Metallica have ever been involved in IMO.

To paraphrase Larsā€™ dad, theyā€™re fucking stock.

Iā€™m just not sure Iā€™ll be able to listen to Metallica if I watch it.
