Metallica (Official Thread)

Re: Metallica

I thought the piano segment was fine, just the leadup to when the hooks finally kick in kinda bored me a lot. I like songs with a build up but that just seemed very monotonous in parts.
I like the first Unforgiven because that one has a much better buildup in the intro, had a good structure where its heavy during the verse and melodic in the chorus, Unforgiven II was the opposite. But Unforgiven III while as I said I have heard worse songs, just did not do much for me.
I dunno, forgive me if my posts made me sound like a complete *****.

Re: Metallica

^^Sounds to me like you are fussing over nothing Riff, your post was fine, you went into detail...the colorful description could have been a little over the top but if that's what you feel we know you well enough to expect the honest truth when you write about something.

I like Death Magnetic, I think it's a good "comeback" album for Metallica. I have two versions, the studio release and then a "doctored" one that a hard core fan with studio expertise remixed that sounds better than the original.

Re: Metallica

^^ fair enough, I do fuss too much but I do worry a lot about not going too far but at the same time I don't wanna sugarcoat my opinion
Ill give you the songs I have actually started to like.
This Was Just My Life with a very good melodic opening then it is just a brilliant heavy song throughout and quite catchy too for a fast song.

Broken Beat & Scarred - Another song that I have come to like, I like the varied intros to the songs on this album, this has a catchy chorus also, like the SHOW YOUR SCARS part.

Suicide & Redemption - Very big song but awesome instrumental

All Nightmare Long - Another good intro, it builds and builds with the intro into the next section of the song before the first verse. Good hooks too.

The Judas Kiss - Not much to say other then a song that changed my mind for the good.

I have more acceptance to this album then previously, it is at worst a solid return for the band.

August 31 ... on this day in 1991, Metallica's "Black Album" hit #1 on the billboard charts (released on August 13th). The album stayed at the #1 spot for 4 weeks before being knocked by of Garth Brooks. 4 weeks at #1 was pretty interesting in this year, considering HALF of the year the #1 album of the year was one of these three:

Mariah Carey (11 weeks)
Vanilla Ice (8 weeks)
Garth Brooks (8 weeks)









Track Listing:

1. Enter Sandman
2. Sad But True
3. Holier Than Thou
4. The Unforgiven
5. Wherever I May Roam
6. Don't Tread On Me
7. Through The Never
8. Nothing Else Matters
9. Of Wolf and Man
10. The God That Failed
11. My Friend of Misery
12. The Struggle Within

The album went on to sell over 15 million copies. The album also

The God That Failed should have been the last song, the other 2 after it were kinda shit.

Didn't realise it spent 282 weeks, that's one hell of an impressive run
Just looked it up and it finished no.8 on the end of decade (1990-1999) chart for US Billboard 200.

Please tell me this is a joke Metallica. This is beyond pathetic.
St ****ING Anger is better then this.
