Metalica *sigh*

[Wisemon]

Are they still good? Yes, but they got lazy. St. Anger is a steaming pile of indolence. Instead of using complicated guitar and drum compositions, they repeated the same melodies over and over. Instead of writing long and adequate lyrics, James wrote bullshit and kept repeating it to fill 80 minutes. Okay, "Frantic" works as a single, and "St. Anger" itself has some good energy, but the rest of the album is definitely shit. Also, Lars's tom-toms would've been cool for one song, but they're stupid for the whole album. Anyone who says that Metallica sold out is dead wrong. You have to believe in something to sell out. From "Kill 'Em All" to "St. Anger", their lyrics have always tried to pander to the majority of aggressive boys. Their tunes started to pander with "The Black Album", and that's how they became mainstream. True metal fans hate "The Black Album", but I'm not one of those psychos. Here are my favorite Metallica songs: "The Four Horsemen", "Seek and Destroy", "Hit The Lights", "Creeping Death", "Battery", "Master of Puppets", "Harvester of Sorrow", "Eye of the Beholder", "Don't Tread on Me", "Ain't My Bitch", "Hero of the Day", "Waste My Hate", and the S&M exclusive, "No Leaf Clover".
