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...
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.
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.
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...
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
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.
+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.
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 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
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.
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!
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
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.
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.
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
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.
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?
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
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
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.
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!
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
+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.
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.
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.
worst albums, metallica : load and reload, st anger iron maiden : x factor and virtual x and new kreator : endorama slayer : diabolus in musica, undisputed attitude
"Progression" I would use Rush as THE perfect example of a band that went from Zeppelin rip-offs to creating their own language through music in a very short period of time. Metallica? Not so much after Cliff.
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)
People are just too bandwagony... Load and ReLoad as still awesome albums today. The only reason people hate them is because someone else told them, and someone else told them, and so on, that they aren't real Metallica albums because they don't sound like Cliff Burton or Justice. Bunch of friggin' sheep. Metal fans my ass. Those albums are chock full of heavy riffs, awesome Kirk solos, and a metal pioneer stretching themselves, and doing things no one else does.
I never went by what people thought of them. I didn't like them when they came out. I have learned to tolerate them over the years. But every time I try and listen to one of them I get bored and fall asleep. lol And who can't get enough of Kirk's Wah Wah Wah Wah Wah. Oh please. lol
Good to hear someone talking sense about Load / Reload. A fair amount of filler on there (especially Reload) but theres a lot of good stuff, the only way you could say its bad is if you were expecting thrash metal. How can anyone not like Bleeding Me? I'm proud to say I have never listened to Lulu and I don't think I will.
those bands made those shitty albums because they know that the big group of their fans have shitty taste ,so they keep both fans forever,and i agree with you on many of ur opinions.
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.
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....
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.

His rage is so crazy I can feel him spitting on me.
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.
This guy should be in wrestling.
😁😆
This is one of the reasons I have chest hair.
You really should do a Slayer discography series.
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.

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.
"recorded inside of a coffin" I just died.
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.

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.
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
Maybe go out left field and do an Anthrax discography..?
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.
I lost it when he got to the Rob Halford joke. Just subscribed
Marcus Valle time stamp?
Marcus Valle nvm haha
I have to admit, I chuckled at the Geoff Tate/Rob Halford part. XD
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
The way you talk reminds me of Jack Black.
Jack. Black. Who
“Nickelback will never be Metal” you just predicted Feed the Machine.
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
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.
"This album is just balls". Such a simple statement, and yet I'm laughing like a immature child at it hahaha.
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
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

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!
I agree with you on Metallica's Load and Reload.
this guy is like the AVGN of music reviews. SUBBED!!!!
Yes.
Videos like this where you get pissed off are the best!
I like your rants coverkillernation!
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!
Bands he needs to do:Slayer,Anthrax,Saint Vitus(St.Vitus),and Katotania
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?
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.
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!
You should do a Judas Priest discography

Disagree with you on Metallica and S.O.D

Bigger than the Devil is a banger but the rest I gotta agree
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.
This is one of the funniest videos I've ever seen.
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
The Metallica part was hilarious

exactly! very much metal and greatly soothing when you're angry or in a bad mood.

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
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

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
8:24 how can you scrape urine. Was the album really that bad the it broke how liquid works?
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
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.
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.
Dude I love your enthusiasm!! Great video :)
I thought the grooves on Cold Lake were kind of cool. The vocals are what make it a truly shitty record.
If it were better, the lake would be less cold -- and you know what that means: algae.
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.
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.
Vengeance falls by Trivium is just horrendous. To think they let David Draiman produce?
Finish the testament discography first if you decide to do slayer
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.
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.
He is like preacher I like his style
I just love how even bringing up St. Anger causes mental damage. ;-)
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
I miss you man
Top 10 worst
pretty much every Metallica album post Justice and every Anthrax album post Persistance, nuff said
Congrats on hitting 1000!
Damn right about Load and Reload
Can you review Power Metal bands like Blind Guardian, Iced Earth, Gamma Ray and Hammerfall?
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.
worst albums, metallica : load and reload, st anger iron maiden : x factor and virtual x and new kreator : endorama slayer : diabolus in musica, undisputed attitude
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 would include "The Unspoken King" by Cryptopsy in there too.
"Progression" I would use Rush as THE perfect example of a band that went from Zeppelin rip-offs to creating their own language through music in a very short period of time. Metallica? Not so much after Cliff.
By the way: Great video and happy 1000th video!
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)
15:44 I died, visited hell and then came back to like and post a comment, oh my... LMFAO
Nickelback is almost country-rock.
They're kind of alternative too.
Shockeye00 They're a meme
People are just too bandwagony... Load and ReLoad as still awesome albums today. The only reason people hate them is because someone else told them, and someone else told them, and so on, that they aren't real Metallica albums because they don't sound like Cliff Burton or Justice. Bunch of friggin' sheep. Metal fans my ass. Those albums are chock full of heavy riffs, awesome Kirk solos, and a metal pioneer stretching themselves, and doing things no one else does.
I never went by what people thought of them. I didn't like them when they came out. I have learned to tolerate them over the years. But every time I try and listen to one of them I get bored and fall asleep. lol And who can't get enough of Kirk's Wah Wah Wah Wah Wah. Oh please. lol
agreed man, was more in the hard rock vein if anything
Slayer has no bad albums. Diabolus In Musica is awesome! I love Desire and Point the best. You are simply wrong for putting Slayer on this list.
yeah fuck opinions
Is my seat in hell already reserved
DOODLEPIG Yes.
+The Devil good
+DOODLEPIG Don't worry though. Hell Ain't A Bad Place To Be. Just ask Angus Young!
Good to hear someone talking sense about Load / Reload. A fair amount of filler on there (especially Reload) but theres a lot of good stuff, the only way you could say its bad is if you were expecting thrash metal. How can anyone not like Bleeding Me? I'm proud to say I have never listened to Lulu and I don't think I will.
You should have like a guest on your channel, a fellow metal head! (like this girl!)
Congratulations. Fantastic video!
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
Holy moley did that Morbid Angel album suprise me. First album to legit give me a headache, yet it still has a good track.
Really? I liked Diabolus in Musica :O
those bands made those shitty albums because they know that the big group of their fans have shitty taste ,so they keep both fans forever,and i agree with you on many of ur opinions.
