THANK YOU FOR 1000 VIDEOS! We've never really talked about this, and we've done CKN's top 25 albums of all time, so its time to speak about some of the worst. We've actually talked some of these already, but there are surprises in here, and something at the end that you're not gonna want to miss. Rage-CKN returns!
This is like the Metalhead version of the angry video game nerd.
Welcome to the metal community
Angry music nerd
Kevin Luper yyyyyyyyyesss!! LMAO!
He's gonna take you back to the past. To listen to the shitty records that suck ass...
But what is the E.T. of metal albums?
Finally, someone actually addressing the fact that AC/DC are repetitive.
hahahaha someone finally said it
Sean O'Reilly AC/DC are repetitive.
Sean O'Reilly AC/DC are repetitive.

eon14873 so you are
Diabolus in Musica is Slayers worst but its waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay better than st. anger
at least Diabolous had two tracks (Bitter Peace,Point) that were classic Slayer, I still listen to those 2 today
fuck no! diabolus in musica is a good nu metal album (and that comes from someone that hate nu metal) and st anger is WAY too melodic pretty shitty nu metal that feels like they rip off korn, and all of this combined with terrible snare
btw i prefer metallica over slayer im bearly even a slayer fan...
Not to mention that "Slayer's" library of intolerable junk noise is some of the very worst crap to be calling "music" in the first place....
His rage is so crazy I can feel him spitting on me.
Take half of Load and half of Re-Load, put them together, and you have one great album instead instead of 2 decent albums.
Fully Loaded
Not the same band though, should've changed the name
both of those albums were loads....loads of crap
both of those albums are crap. boring as fuck.

To save time for you guys
Cold Lake - Celtic Frost
Lu Lu and St. Anger - Metallica
Slave to the Game - Emmure
Subject to Change - Switched
Forbidden - Black Sabbath
Illud Divinum Insanus - Morbid Angel
Diabolus in musica - Slayer
1995-2014 Queensryche
First off, I don't like Emmure. I see people saying they aren't metal - idiots! Distorted guitars, screaming and breakdowns - there you go. Just cuz you hate them doesn't mean they deserve to be mis-labeled.
idiot
I'm pretty sure Blood on the dance floor have those things, they must be metal too
This shouldn't be a controversial statement. Lemme guess, Slipknot isn't metal either?
Emmure technically is metal, but you do realize that "Distorted guitars, screaming and breakdowns" can also refer to hardcore punk?
Yawn.
Completely agree about Load/Reload, I have to admit that I didn't listen to a lot of those albums because of what I saw people saying and found I was missing out on some great songs like The Outlaw Torn, Bleeding Me, Fixxxer, 2 X 4, Wasting My Hate, Low Man's Lyrics, Where The Wild Things Are, Devil's Dance, Prince Charming and so on. Literally everyone I know who doesn't like those albums hasn't heard the majority of those songs.
JoRdOguitarman1 you forgot ain't my bitch
AMEN!
Those albums have some gems.
Do you ever go on these rants when you talk to someone at the Music shop? Lol not meaning any offense.
it happens every so often, it takes the right person, someone who isn't gonna take offense. there's a time to be professional, but once you establish some good connections with the base, you can flash your behind the scenes personality toward things a little more freely.
The Zerk oh just let him rip this is rock music not the symphony orchestra. regards
+coverkillernation I want to make a point of saying that I'm glad how when you're not letting yourself rant you do try to be professional, reasonable, and serious. 'Taking your job seriously' is a trait that's not common enough.

Brandon Singleton
You said:
"Take half of Load and half of Re-Load, put them together'
----
Yes, you will have one HUMONGOUS Load of wet, stinking shit.
I have to admit, I chuckled at the Geoff Tate/Rob Halford part. XD
I lost it when he got to the Rob Halford joke. Just subscribed
Marcus Valle time stamp?
Marcus Valle nvm haha
You really should do a Slayer discography series.
The way you talk reminds me of Jack Black.
Jack. Black. Who
This guy should be in wrestling.
😁😆
Maybe go out left field and do an Anthrax discography..?
I don't care for LOAD or RELOAD very much, but I will say that I thought that LOAD was way better than RELOAD.
+Paul Snow Splitting hairs, really
+Paul Snow GIMME FUE GIMMA FAH GIMME DABAJAJABAJA
+Paul Snow Two good albums imo. The problem is just that there is a big variance on those albums from pretty bad fillers to great songs.
a difference between getting punched in the face or the balls really
A punch in the face is much preferred :D
this guy is like the AVGN of music reviews. SUBBED!!!!
Yes.
The Alex Jones of metal music.
What does that even mean?
+A Sleeve Heart ...it's based on the way he's ranting, kind of sounds just like Alex Jones actually.
Yeahhh... Except this guy likes music that isn't the X-Files theme.
but this guy has facts
"recorded inside of a coffin" I just died.
It's true that AC/DC did pretty much the same thing after Back in Black but For Those About to Rock, Flick of the Switch, and The Razor's Edge are awesome albums! And their latest one Rock or Bust was pretty good too in my opinion. And let's face it, if you had the second best selling album of all time then I'm pretty sure you'd try to capitalize on it too. And are we forgetting that albums like Ballbreaker and Stiff Upper Lip have a more blues influenced sound?
+The Game Boy 'Rock or Bust' is pretty classic. I think there's a positive review of it from this very reviewer as well.
Stiff Upper Lip was different but fucking awesome.
Never Say Die actually has some good songs on it.
I like "Never Say Die!" - every played it on your MP3 player as you are sitting in a plane while it is taking off?
Good album
Never say die is a great album bro.
I like Never Say Die, too!
Nickelback is my favorite metal band.
same
I hope that everyone is being sarcastic
Oh, dear lord, someone send this gentleman to the nearest mental facility - pertaining to Whiskey Tangletrap whatever lol. Go back and help yourself
Justin Bieber is my favorite metal band!
hahahaha XD
nice
Am I the only one who thinks St. Anger gets bashed on way too much? It seems like everyone hates on it just because it is trendy to hate on the album and Metallica in general. Same thing goes for Slipknot IMHO. If you hate it and feel it from your heart, great. But if you are hating just because you feel you have to because you don't want people to judge you otherwise, then just stop. Be honest to your own opinion. Just like you don't have to love everything that everyone else likes it doesn't mean you have to hate everything that everyone else hates. Different folks, different strokes.
St. Anger had some good songs imo, but it was still a pretty bad album as a whole. But i don't hate the album, and i agree with you i think most people do it to stand with the most popular choice. And i think Slipknot has something good on every album so don't understand the hate there. But im gonna be contreversial and get it out there: AC/DC sucks monkeyballs... Attack me fanboys...
Oxaj
I hate AC/DC too. Angus Young is overrated as hell and their fanbase is full of bogans and yobbos.
Brandon Tadday Im glad im not alone! :)
Brandon Tadday heres the thing, St. Anger could have been a really good album, but what makes it shit for me is 2 things
1. the drums sound like trash cans
2. Bob Rock the producer on bass... must i say more
arconfighter169 Still not as bad as people say it is in my humble opinion.
Why does this guy move like a blind bobble-head?
I was thinking the same thing. This guy gets so angry, it's hilarious.
All metal heads are like this. Dogmatic ain't the word.
I agree with you on Metallica's Load and Reload.
In my opinion, Slayer's not my cup of tea. Of the big 4 Slayer is my least favorite. Just me.
+Geeky Metalhead ive kinda strayed away from slayer a bit once you listen to the same kinda shit for 3 years it gets really old
Blackend Thrashin Death 'n Doom Now we wait for the BILLIONS of slayer worshippers to attack us with pitchforks and torches.
XD
*attacks you with pitchforks and torches
+fr0zeN Shit
I like your rants coverkillernation!
forbidden isn't a great record but by no means the one of the ten worst.
Matthew Spaltro Rap Sabbath.......with Ice-T of Body Count!
Bands he needs to do:Slayer,Anthrax,Saint Vitus(St.Vitus),and Katotania
The thing that i have always added whenever the load album conversation happens (and would have prevented years of endless mud slinging) is..... they should have made it a side project , called it something else, and then if the backlash is heinous (as history will forever stand) they could have laughed it off, instead of alienating their established fanbase, I personally, from a musical perspective like all their albums
Load and Reload are great hard rock albums, just not exactly pure Metallica
“Nickelback will never be Metal” you just predicted Feed the Machine.
I actually like Diabolus In Musica. It took a while for it to grow on me, but at the end of day, I enjoy a lot of the groove-ish riffs on it, and Paul Bostaph is a beast on the drums.
You should do a Judas Priest discography
I personally think Load & reload were metallica's saving grace from the imposing take over by the grunge / skateboard rock scene . Sure it wasn't Black Album style, but I think there's some shit on the 2records that still connects with me today and is more memorable than that skateboard grunge shit
Agreed sir.
Skateboard grunge shit? WTF are you talking about?
Videos like this where you get pissed off are the best!
"This album is just balls". Such a simple statement, and yet I'm laughing like a immature child at it hahaha.
The Metallica part was hilarious
Cannibal Corpse Discography?
"1/500's of this channel is me talking about goddamned Lulu!" 😂😂
How is Nickelback metal? It is an annoying mainstream rock...........
Nick Moser ckn didn't say nickelback is metel
I did not say CKN stated this absurdity
Oh i know it's really dumb people think that
like people think Beyonce is a rockstar LOL
Nick Moser its not metal, alternative
I kind of feel about Morbid Angel's last album the same way I felt about Celtic Frost's Into The Pandemonium. Both were hugely experimental and for me if you take away all the songs that feel out of place(eg. on Celtic Frost it would be Mexican Radio, One in Their Pride, and I Won't Dance) there's some good solid tracks there on both of them.
1st vid, just subbed. Great rant & totally agreed. LOL'd at the "if its not recorded in a coffin, encased in in glasss, etc.." - classic!
Here's also another worst metal albums as far as I know: Helloween's Chameleon; I thought you're gonna include that.
I agree that I don't like Load & Reload because Metallica shed their Thrash & Heavy roots, but St Anger is more bad & Lulu takes the turd cake that makes Re/Load sound like classics.
I agree that Emmure isn't even metal & amen to your say about Geoff Tate!
that rant about queensryche...
that was funniest shit i've seen for as long as i can remember.
The Chratheostic the mettalic rant was the best in my opinion
15:10 you may not have tried but you made a perfect homer simpson impression
Congrats on a 1000 videos man. Been watching from the beginning.
Ya know what band i dont recall you ever talking about? The Ocean. You should talk about that amazing group sometime
one of my bosses just showed me that band. they gooood
How much coffee did you have. I was expecting that you were gonna pull your shirt over your head and turn into cornholio.
This is one of the funniest videos I've ever seen.
I thought the grooves on Cold Lake were kind of cool. The vocals are what make it a truly shitty record.
I disliked the "Loads" because it WAS the signal of Metallica's descent; ... into sellout status. They started following trends on the rock charts and abandoned their soul for radio success. I, and I know I'm in the minority here, liked St. Anger more than the previous two albums simply because it finally had some fucking soul again. Despite the redundant lyrics, lack of Hammett solos, simplistic riffage and piss poor production, it was more inspired than skidmarks that came before it.
At the time, and justice for all was seen as the beginning of the end.
After the black came out, I had a little more fondness for justice.
I actually like Diabolus In Musica.
guilty pleasure for me. Araya's screams to me make the album since its not normal nu metal vocals, it makes the nu metal riffs actual seem sort of..good.
Yeah, I don't get the hate. It's not the best Slayer album, not by a long shot....but it's not a bad album.
ANYTHING Disturbed should be on the list, I can't stand that fucking band. The singer, the covers, everything!!!!!!
Noah Theologou me too. in fact, i think one of best songs ever written from slayer is on this album, point. that track is brutal! lot of other good ones on there too. not my fav by far, but it's damn good
Point is a badass song!
It's frikkin great - one of my fave Slayer albums
I still like DIabolus in Musica. It was my first Slayer Album in fact. But i kinda cant understand the Hate on DIM. It gets better with Age, at least for me. Or am i the only one?
Thank you ckn! Overkill discography review? Necrophagist's two albums?
Attila's "Guilty Pleasure" was released after this video so throw that in the top 3
Shamus Gerrity bitch stole my haircut
:)
Vengeance falls by Trivium is just horrendous. To think they let David Draiman produce?
Damn right about Load and Reload
Load is actually one of my favorite Metallica albums, and I'm not really into Metallica, I think they're highly overrated, and I rarely find any interest in mainstream bands like Metallica, I'm not saying they're bad, but I'm so fucking sick of Metallica because of all the fanboys that claim it is the best metal band ever, which is a fucking stupid claim since there are so many underground bands the kick the living shit out of Metallicas music.
If you like it, good for you
Morfeusm oh fuck off, so what if I like it? or at least I used to, I haven't listened to Load for many many years, so I honestly don't know, but still, why do you even care?
Psytex Anonymous
Actually you misunderstood me. Maybe I should be clearer: If you like this album, that is completely fine. Music is subjective thing and if you enjoy that album, then good job Metallica! Additionally it takes some balls to admit that you like release people tend to frown upon.
I do not care that much, but it just cached my eye.
Morfeusm
oh sorry, usually when people write "good for you" they're being sarcastic.
They've sold the most albums of any of the "Big 4" of 80s Metal, but quantity doesn't equal quality. They sold out to sell more albums. Fact! I'm not saying that all of their albums and songs are bad, but some of their stuff is so horrible, that there's no way that I'd listen to it whatsoever!
Kill em all and Master of Puppets will always be my favorites... Man I was just heart broken because I looked to them as metal heros... I know that sounds corny but I always thought I'd hear some new heavy riffs and lead... That they wouldn't let me down.... When I put in load I was ready to get to a track that made me want to headbang... It wasn't there and so I flailed that CD out my window... I was pissed... It was like walking in on your significant other cheating.... Then I really started to look around... There is no new Pantera ... Sepultura... Tool was changing " undertow was my fav"... AIC was different because of Lane .... I was pissed and disappointed... So I started to want to write my own stuff and people do respond... They tell me I'm different.... I'm great... Or whatever... I hate today's music and it depresses the shit out of me to hear what's coming out on the radio... I hope we head back towards talent and get away from this safe politically correct cookie cutter bullshit... This poor misguided generation needs to hear real music as I did as a child
Tool and AiC discography review????
When I was a young impressionable middle school Metallica fan, I bought into the "descent of Metallica" crap and to this day have not heard all of Load or Reload. Having long exited that phase, is it worth going back to listen to them?
They are both full of little gems, they just aren't heavy or thrash metal. they have a bluesey, western feel that is very unique. It's like a blend of hard rock and lynyrd skynyrd. listen to hero of the Day, prince Charming, Fuel, the Memroy Remains, mama said, and possibly the best is Wasting my Hate
They're solid albums, but they're not metal.
They have some good songs on it but also some filler garbage
Benj Ikeda it's basically hard rock
Industrial Grade Ramen you again
I just love how even bringing up St. Anger causes mental damage. ;-)
I don't care what people say about the st. Anger album. I actually like it!
exactly! very much metal and greatly soothing when you're angry or in a bad mood.
coolboy But that snare drum though....
coolboy whats metal about that piece of shit?
Hellcreature36 i think it"s trange the snare gets so much hate on st anger, when many albums nowadays have a more ridiculously loud snare and it doesn"t get mentioned
KingEdwards me too but St Anger never gets no respect
Dude I love your enthusiasm!! Great video :)
He is like preacher I like his style
Hey CKN! CONGRATULATIONS on your 1000th video! Here's to the NEXT 1000! Imo,the BIGGEST mistake with "Cold Lake" was releasing it under the Celtic Frost name. It should've been a Tom G. Warrior SOLO album instead. Personally,I lost "faith" in Slayer pretty much during the ENTIRE 90's. The only 90's albums of theirs that I really like are "Divine Intervention" and "Undisputed Attitude" and ,except for 1 song,that's an album consisting entirely of other bands' songs!!! I totally agree with your takes on the last Morbid Angel album and the Queensryche MEGA- decline.GREAT post,CKN!
Finish the testament discography first if you decide to do slayer
What. Category. Dose. Gretta. Van. Fleet. Fit. In. To. Are. They. Rock. Or. Metal
In no particular order
1. Morbid Angel - Illud Divinum Insanus
2. Celtic Frost - Cold Lake
3. Slayer - Diabolus in Musica
4. King Diamond - The Graveyard
5. King Diamond - Abigail II The Revenge
6. Mercyful Fate - Dead Again
7. Metallica - The Black Album and anything afterwards with the exception of maybe Death Magnetic
8. S.O.D. - Bigger than the Devil
9. Black Sabbath - Forbidden
That's all I can come up with for now. I know some are repeats of what he said, but I can agree with him on this entire video.
Agree - i do like dethmagnetic also
Disagree with you on Metallica and S.O.D
blasphemer9, How about literally anything by Metallica?
Bigger than the Devil is a banger but the rest I gotta agree
load and re-load both kick ass.right on ckn!
Scott Bivins nope full disappointments
Scott Bivins not there greatest ablums of all time but not really bad
I have always thought that if St Anger had been put out by some new band as a debut album I think people would have said that it was a fairly descent album, but just how "New" and "Fresh/ Different" the sound was. I honestly think the worst thing about the St Anger album ended up being Metallica's name on it.
Agree. Sometimes it just seems to me that there's an imaginary "Guide to the politically correct metal fan" everybody follows. Thus the first albums that come to mind to most people when it comes to name the worst ones are mainly the "officially" considered great bands' supposed missteps (which sometimes really are, sometimes not. sometimes, who knows, they're just a matter of taste for the listener and/or a matter of legitimate change of direction for the band). In case you don't think Metallica, Megadeth and Slayer are absolute shit since an X album up to now (tipically Metallica's black cover, Megadeth's Youthanasia, Slayer's Diabolus in Musica) many fans will see you as a leper, or, well, at least someone who has no idea about what real good metal is.
***** Maybe you have a problem with your reading comprehension ? If you read my entire comment it's plain to see that I'm precisely being critical of the people who "give a lecture" about what is and what is not "real good metal". Given the context, quotation marks were not necessary, I thought, but who knows, English is not my first language. Anyway, I'm afraid I'm not your "Lord of Taste". Peace.
I confess, and I guess I'll take that punch in the mouth: I liked at least parts of Celtic Frost's "Cold Lake" - it's not the best 'Frost album by any stretch of imagination, but I kind of enjoyed seeing a lighter side of those guys, and most of those songs were still above average for that style of metal. The leads were annoying, the cover art dreadful, and sometimes Tom's vocals were just bizarre (and not in a good way), but when the songs worked, I think they worked OK. I'm a little more fond of this one than "Vanity/Nemesis", which I felt was certainly more even than "Cold Lake", but just a little too cautious for a Celtic Frost album - Celtic Frost always seemed best to me when they were weirdest.
Nickelback is almost country-rock.
They're kind of alternative too.
Shockeye00 They're a meme
Add Machine Head's Catharsis.
Cold Lake, LULU, every EMMURE album, later KORN albums(the 1st album is the only good one IMO), every BVB album, SLAYER-Diabolus In Musica, the last MORBID ANGEL album(don't know or care whatever it's called), etc.
Follow the Leader and Issues are good too #Korn
+MAC KB yeh i usedto like korn and those were good .
Bvb isn't even metal in the first place. It's more hard rock. They aren't horrible but they aren't that good either.
KoRn's first 3 (KoRn,Life Is Peachy and Follow The Leader) were all decent, they lost me at Issue's
Issues was also a great album ! :D
Have you ever considered adding album covers, or pictures in general, to the reviews? And fantastic countdown,
Have you even listened to Diabolus? much better than Divine intervention
Divine Intervention was fuckin awesome if you ask me.. Too bad it only sold about 3 copies.
I have one as well! Still listen to every song to this day. I also like and listen to every song in Diabolus in Musica - the Slayer album I hate the most is Undisputed Attitude, I hate punk, album is punk covers.
Since Chris Degarmo left QR they never wrote another great album, Empire was the last of the great albums.
I remember when Diabolus in Musica came out. Everyone I played the album to all agreed that Bitter Peace was the best song of that album.
+lynchie137 Point was the best.
Albee213 Liked that song too.
"Born to kill sweep and clear" is the line that gets me in that song.
Albee213 That's a good lyric.
+lynchie137 Every man had once a Metallica period. For some it was brief, for others lasting up until their self demise on St Anger. Now nobody likes them except Bob Rock and Lars Ulrich's dad.
congrats on 1000 videos! I discovered your channel about a year ago and have enjoyed watching every video since. btw, I love slayer but please don't go through the painful experience of a discography review if you don't want to.
I love Load and Reload by Metallica.
I would include "The Unspoken King" by Cryptopsy in there too.
slayer ain't god no bad albums!! bow down!!
As a Slayer fan, I didn't like Repentless, and both Diabolous and God Hates Us All only have 3 great tracks each (but the 3 great ones *are* that great)
Cold Lake wasn't that far removed from Pandemonium. I feel like the hatred comes more from the image rather than the actual music itself.
St Anger was James letting out his feelings about being an alcoholic after his therapy. Now, yes it was not as good as the others, but it wasnt at all as bad a Lulu.
St. Anger makes me wanna break that CD and burn it
טל טול This is proper reaction, because that album is to release anger
Exactly
It is also because St Anger is not worst album of all time, it is just really mediocre which makes it just bad m
ckn i listened to we are morbid by morbid angel and i have heard much worse.I dug it bro,and I don't even listen to morbid angel.you brought me to it,and i just don't see your point.
I listened to that album, and actually ended up enjoying it - it was weird, loopy, and indeed kind of goofy in places, but I felt like it was the most adventurous Morbid Angel album I'd heard in a long time, and appreciate that Morbid Angel went out on a limb and tried something different. I never once got bored listening to it, and a few of those songs were actually entertaining and catchy.
LuLu is not a Metallica album
Yes, it is
Donovan Kaiver Its a Lou Reed album that Metallica simply played musics on for songs that Lou Reed wrote.
+Richard Oranger Actually, Metallica co-wrote the songs.
One thing you should expect about the next Morbid Angel album: The title of it will probably begin with the letter "J", given their interest in the alphabet.
You should have like a guest on your channel, a fellow metal head! (like this girl!)
15:44 I died, visited hell and then came back to like and post a comment, oh my... LMFAO
breathe mate,breathe
3theharris like the song pink floyd
Magic I guess Turbo isn't such a bad album? I guess it's probably a pretty good album.
+Mark Santucci Not nearly as good as NOSTRADAMUS
Five Seconds Of Summer Is the best metal band EVER!
.fortyfour uh no if your joking good joking but if it's for real then no
Best thrash metal band ever. Next to Slayer and The Beatles
Some one is triggerd
Also there not thrash metel there rock and roll at best
Adam Niccum
What the fuck is that in your picture, it looks like Lemmy back in his crack smoking days..
I miss you man
If you play this at 0.5 speed it sound like a drunk guy rambling nonsence hahaha. On normal speed it's a top notch rant though of course ;)
I like LULU (well I don't mind it, it's just OK). It's a beautiful morbidly, disjointed and tortured mess. The album cover is a masterpiece: a broken mannequin with a fearsome human face and...blood, now that's intriguing! Sadly, I cannot recommend this album to anyone. It really tests your patience and a good number of tracks are forgettable. I personally think that this album should be re-edited into 7 or 8 tracks so that we can finally sit through it without tuning out. Oh yeah, I should mention that I listen to some weird experimental noise like the Boredoms, and even Sonic Youth. So this album was no shocker to me. On second thought, I think you can just ignore my comment and live a happy life without LULU.
Emmure are nowhere NEAR metal, heavy "riffs" do not make metal
Yes, they do
8:24 how can you scrape urine. Was the album really that bad the it broke how liquid works?
The World Needs A Hero should be on this list.
Yes, there's maybe 2 or 3 OKAY songs on this album but the rest are just annoyingly terrible.
Except it had a few good songs on it, not like these albums
The World Needs A Hero wasn't remastered. I don't think they would either, they'd just be losing money on such a shitty album.
No they don't, they sound better. Only remaster that sounds worse is Risk.
True. And my believing The World Needs A Hero is absolute shit is also subjective and is my opinion. If you agree or disagree, that's fine.
Celtic Frost and Morbid Angel should tour and just play Cold Lake and Illud
