I can’t believe Metallica sampled the TF2 Engineer wrench hitting sound for the St Anger snare
if its the wrench hitting the building sound that wouldnt actually be bad.
“Buildin’ an album!”
poot good music here
@@ImpendingRiot83 "spahs sappin' mah album"
Either that or you could replace it with the og Half-Life crowbar hitting metal sfx and I would not even begin to tell the difference...
YEAH *clang* YEAH *clang* YEAH *clang*
(goes double Platinum just for being Metallica)
Lmao literally, metallica fans don't listen to any other metal than metallica it seems 😂😂😂
@@HeisenbinksMetallica is still my favorite band even though I love death core and a lot of death metal
@@Heisenbinksi do 😎
@@reapervich4192 @reeeeeeeman I love metallica too, but I can also acknowledge that they are overrated and released trash albums, like how can you defend the st anger production? Most grindcore and death metal I've heard has better production and that stuffs raw af!
@@Heisenbinks it's okay if you think that, i personally love st anger, but i don't defend its production as i know it's not good
I remember when I first got into Metallica I used to get all my music off of limewire. Unaware of this album's reputation I started downloading songs off of the album and I legit must've downloaded 4-5 copies of each song from different sources before I realized the album is SUPPOSED to sound like that and it wasn't some dogshit file somebody put onto limewire
Recently I got a file of Horrendous that sounds so much lesser quality than the original and it still eclipsed St.Anger without even a second thought
Lars’ secret plan to destroy limewire
i had trouble "understanding" the bad metal that dominated my friends CD players as a kid and my friend lent me St Anger to take home, to show me how good metallica is. That's a true story. It was probably 2004 and he was probably immersed in counter-propaganda marketing at release.
If I was gonna trust anyone's opinion on this, it would be a profile pic-less TH-cam account named metaldude. That's not even a joke. I was a LimeWire guy too. Real recognises real.
As a drummer i am impressed on how bad Lars drums sound
It’s almost inspiring
“Sorry, those thieves at Napster stole my normal kit”
as a drummer, i fucking love the st anger snare. its overhated. i think its just a case of a sound used in the wrong context. the st anger snare would go extremely hard on a Kublai Khan track, for example, but it doesn't work for Metallica who was known for super technically clean playing and super clean mixing before St. Anger
I get a similar feeling when I see bad writing. I'm kind of impressed, but I also feel better about my work.
@@memphiskash no it’s not over hated it’s just kind of trash
@@me-ou3hs i just disagree man. i mean even Zach Hill's live snare for Death Grips sounds eerily similar to the st anger snare. its a good snare used incorrectly
'You flush it out' needs to be on the soundboard
Next MGK release
St. Anger has some exquisite memeable lines.
It was the nü metal age, after all. Grown men, millionaires acting like edgelord tryhard 14-year-olds was all the rage.
Faccs.
@@Yuli_Ban also faccs.
@@Yuli_Banit wasn't all bad
“Besides the snare, what makes this album so bad?”
“Besides the gaping gunshot wound in your chest, how are you feeling?”
The Snare is the best
This comment feels like a Scott The Woz bit if he did music
@@chrome.beats.3worldlol so accurate
The snare is hilarious cuz it sorta sounds like some grindcore/goregrind stuff like Sulfuric Cautery
I think the review of this album on Apple Music is a refreshing read that doesn’t kiss Metallica’s ass, "St. Anger is certainly not Metallica’s best album musically, but it is their most compelling album psychologically. The title is not a misnomer: this is the sound of the most successful metal band in the world exorcising its demons."
This is what I like about the album, knowing what was going on during the recording, you know it's pure unaltered hatred. It's repetitive, pretty unoriginal and simplistic but it does sound genuine and it's a miracle there was even an album out of those sessions honestly.
I can see it working…on paper. In practice however it’s absolutely trash.
thats why theres a movie on the making of the album and a book on the making of the movie
my mum said when this came out she was so excited to listen to a new metallica album as she didnt think they'd release one.
so she listened to it and cried LOL she couldn't believe how bad it was.
You're a very lucky guy to have a mother like that
@@WFly101 death magnetic is better than st anger but it still sucks ass lol
also is the pantera thing really a “comback” if they were never good before that album?
@@WFly101 lmao literally never heard anyone call cowboys a comeback album, its literally the first album of their most well known sound 😂😂😂
@@WFly101what comeback lol, their previous era it's almost a meme Even between fans, the group basically started with Cowboys as the pantera all know
@@WFly101 she thought death magnetic was meh. she hasnt LOVED any metallica album since Reload.
The album is a perfect window into how the band almost completely fallen apart while recording thanks to literal decades of pent up rage and ego getting in their way, its objectively bad but sometimes when im in a bad mood I listen to some of the songs to vent. The only true sin of this album I cant possibly get over is the torturous length of most songs, if everything would be 3-5 minutes at best and this was a short but very punchy garage thrasher it mighve pretty okay honestly, snare aside
Don't forget the copious drugs and alcohol that also completely lead to the seizures that are every single track.
@@Remedy462 This was the era where they started to get off booze and drugs which is why James was going to rehab and his wife demanding an 8-4 schedule like hes an employee really didnt help their case. The movie highlighted how and most importantly why is the song production terrible, im surprised they didnt disband with how disfunctional they were during 2001-2003
@@armandklink4843 oh, well that makes sense too. I thought it was too much drugs and alcohol that drowned the previous two releases: load and reload, but this was not having a clear headspace with withdraw, egos, and feeling constricted and boxed in. They should've disbanded or went on an extended hiatus to recover, decompress, seek therapy, and rediscover a love for metal and what their art means to them. But, you know, it's easy for me to tell someone what they should do than be in their situation and have to realize it myself.
The riffs are good just the snare is questionable
i feel the exact same way. the lyrics suck, the drums suck, the songwriting is decent at best, annoying at worst. despite al of that, it’s almost a windows into their emotions and how they felt at that time, so i don’t really care that it’s objectively bad, because i can feel the anger throughout the album.
It was extremely progressive of Metallica to hire an entire crew of completely deaf people as their production crew. (In 2003!!) On top of that, the band members elected to wear earplugs throughout the entire recording process so that the production crew would feel more included
The weird thing is bob rock produced it, same guy as the black album etc
The songs are actually good every song has a good riff and multiple good moments it’s just mixed badly
@@lightfeather9953 it's always interesting seeing the people behind legendary albums be part of making trash albums too
Just makes me wonder how someone who clearly has an ear for making quality music can listen to utter trash and go "yep, chuck on the album, sounds finished to me"
What makes it even more crazy is that for most of the album Lars insists on hitting the snare double time and its completely unneeded even if the snare was tuned correctly
the STARK contrast between 5:31 and 22:19 is the perfect way to sum up how much of an absolute slog of an album this is lmao
LMAOOO
It’s not a slog of an album it’s actually pretty easy to listen to the whole way
yeah, when it’s on mute
Gotta hand it to the album: it's really fun to say "SAYYYYYYYYEEENNNT AYYYYNNGEERRRRRRR"
YOU FLUSH IT OUT, YOU FLUSH IT OUT
ROUND MAH NEHECKKKK
MAH LIFESTAAAAHL DETERMINES MA DEATH STAAAAHL
A RISIN' TAAAAH THAT PUUSHES TO THE OTHER SAAAAAAHH
HEEEEE NEVA GETS RESPECT
St. Anger is hilarious to me in the context that James Hetfield had recently gotten sober. Good for him, but like...he's metal's alcoholic stepdad, and St. Anger is the musical version of going home to visit and he's sober but somehow an even bigger asshole.
"What if we took the snare,
And replaced it with a gosh dang trash can?" - Lars 2003
Slipknot proved how that idea can actually work....but kept the snare because snare is good lol.
"What if we" - Everyone but Lars 2023.
There’s a video out there of him showing how to get that sound, he literally takes the snare off the snare, so you’re left with a no snare.
Watching the original stream made me realize how weird time works, I listened to fear inoculum which is 1hr29mins and when I finished I hardly felt any of the minutes pass by like 1 song is 15 mins and when I put it on next thing I know I’m already 5mins in but with this every single second felt excruciating long I never felt a album feel this long before it’s pure pain
I KNOW MAANAANANANNNNN HOW DOES TOOL DO IT AND METALLICA SUCK SO MUCH ASS
That’s cause fear is good
Fear Inoculum is a great album, but even as someone who considers it their 3rd favorite album of all time, it REALLY had to grow on me to get there. First time around I would've called it my worst heard album of all time, later topped by St. Anger (then Lulu). It's probably because it was so different to the TOOL discography beforehand and I went in with very different expectations.
@@ViVerna I was in the exact same boat it’s my 3rd favorite tool album but I had to listen to a couple times before I actually appreciated it
@@ViVerna Seriously?? There's something wrong with your ears bruh. I can understand not thinking it's that great at first but to think any part of it is near the ear rape equivalent to st anger is just objectively insane
Can’t wait for the: “listening to st.anger but every 10$ i restart the whole album” stream!
To rope back to Todd in the Shadows' In Utero comparison, it's like Lars thought "Yeah, Dave Grohl's snare is very distinct on that album, maybe I could do something like that on this record!" and this is what he concocted
I'm forever under the impression that Lars heard about Slipknot and went "the people want keg noises, huh? I'll give em fuckin keg noises"
Thinking In Utero's snare drum aren't that bad, Lars accidentally making that type of snare became a disease for the whole album. I mean, the drum snare was CLANG harder than road construction project inside a fucking industrial complex, while Dave's In Utero drum kinda Clang better but not really like a clang.
When this album came out my dad got it on cd and listened to it in the car and threw it out the window not even halfway through
Thats based af LOL
Thats so funny 😂😂
Lifestyle, Deathstyle, and madly in anger with you. Lyrical genius.
They're rivaled by "Look out motherfuckers here I come" and Only do I not know the answer,I don't even know what the question is"
The deepest, most profound lyrics a 14-year-old mallgoth edgelord in 2003 could ever have come up with.
It’s crazy how you could cut every song in half and you would lose absolutely nothing.
That would actually be a gain. You would gain precious seconds of your life not listening to this.
You’re all so cringe honestly it’s a decent album
@@kylehoulihan3875 I actually like a lot of the album, I listened to it when I was young. The problem is that the songs drag on without adding a whole lot. That's all I was saying.
Cut out half, add solos and some time changes.
@@kylehoulihan3875 people not liking something is now cringey? It's okay for you to like it, totally; but most listeners and critics don't.
Fun fact: The Home Depot actually sampled Lars' snare for their theme song
As someone who genuinely likes this album this is exactly how I expected you to react and I heavily appreciate it
The sound of the snare never fails to make me laugh my ass off, it's so bad
St.anger is the album that reminds me no one can do bonk like slipknot.
I was listening to Iowa and realized the twang was there, but it fit, it sounds like it belongs exactly where it is in the mix. Lmfao
Yeah they just have multiple percussion and mix it properly
tallah :)

Listen to St Anger out of curiosity
Lose your love for the band
Move on with your life.
Update : come back to Metallica cuz you are reminded of how much you love them
Accept their limits and flaws and vibe with them when they achieve greatness.
To be honest this band for me represents more than music it’s such a fascinating story with great ups and really low downs
when i listened to all the albums in order and i got to st. anger it compleatly killed all intrest i had in listining to the rest and it was first two years later i decided to continue
Goes back and realizes frantic and st anger are bangers and then life continues slightly better
@@pedrocarneirobatista9242 Gets surgery to remove railroad spike from head, judgement ability returns and remembers just how shitty those two songs really are. Life continues infinitely better.
I dunno how old you are but I'm a little over 40, and all the Metallica fans I know still pay a ton to see them live, even though we all agree the only good albums are the first 4-5. My friends completely forgive them for not making anything good after the self titled.
🛢️ BONK 🛢️ BONK 🛢️ BONK 🛢️
its hard to wrap your head around the fact that this and ride the lightning was made by the same band
2 people did a rerecording of this album completely mixed and played from the ground up. It sounds 10x better, and they shortened some of the songs which was NEEDED lmao
Also, some people have tried their hand at making videos like "X song if it was on Y album" with St. Anger songs. The best one by far being Frantic in AJFA style imo
MY LIFESTYLE... DETERMINES MY DEATHSTYLE 🍫⭐🐟
AND THE 🌭👅💧
Whenever the snare hits I just hear the metal pipe falling sound effect
The scariest part is that all of these songs have millions of plays, not just Frantic and St. Anger.
The whole album was a social experiment. Metallica wanted make the worst possible album that they could without it being too obvious to see if people would still actually buy it, let alone like it, based on name recognition only. If this was their first album, we would have never heard from them again.
Metallica fans don't care if they make bad music, they're unconditional fans for life.
Even listening to this album as a joke is a huge chore
It's like a leech that sucks all happiness and even anger out of life and leaves you a broken and hurt mess on the floor.
"All Within My Hands" has an absolutely AMAZING live version with the San Francisco symphony. Those of you who haven't seen it, see it.
Live acoustic version (on Metallica YT channel) is great too
i like the original better to be honest, their symphonic stuff isn't anything that great imo, their orchestrations don't add anything new
Koi no Yokan crying rn
you made listening to this album tolerable somehow
the power of video editing
This album is only listenable when you’re going through some hard times tbh, it clicked for me when I was pretty depressed and it was the perfect soundtrack for me during that time, looking back on it now I don’t think it’s as horrible as I once did but it’s still not that great, the live versions of these songs absolutely slap tho
honestly could not have said it better myself
When I used to work at Taco Bell as a manager I got pissed at a few of the employees being dumb; so I connected my phone to speakers and started playing St. Anger. The other manager on duty walked up to me and said "You must be pretty pissed if you're playing this song outside of a workout....."
If you were depressed enough to relate to this horrible album I feel terrible for you
@@dreamofyouandi theres albums that capture that feeling without sounding like absolute ass, metallica really dropped the ball on this one
i associate this song with when i was really depressed in 2019 before i was admitted to a mental hospital and i cannot hate this album if i wanted to. that being said, the production always got on my nerves but i could see past that and knowing the state that the band was in at the time it acts as a time capsule. still rather listen to 72 seasons and death magnetics lack of dynamic range
this whole album sounds like a THQ racing game for the Wii.
Metallica made a live album with the San Fransico Symphony in 2020, and that version of "All Within My Hands" is actually a very good rendition and does the song justice.
this album isn't completely awful, there's really some awesome moments they're just not constructed well, ive actually grown to love the snare sound actually from listening to a lot of grind and songs in that subgenre
I personally love the rawness and realness of it and it pretty much kept the band together in the end so can't hate it too much
@@jim62000, There’s a lot of stuff going wrong in production, but the riffs themselves are still great.
Even on this album, James rocks.
Also, the songs are too long.
In fact, you change the drums and you shorten the mess a bit, you get a pretty damn good album. Solos or not.
@@vinceaxld.t3944 hell yeah the riffs are great, one of the saving graces of the album, and yeah the production is very very DIY sounding and James just giving a super real emotional performance is so relatable just letting it all out and that part is great too, yeah just needed some rearranging or editing and better production, and some solos for christ's sake! i will still defend the snare tho it perfectly fits the vibe and raw visceral quality of the album
The riffs are great and can be really heavy and the guitar is probably the only good part of this album. Too bad Lars and his drums got in the way.
Honestly, my biggest problem with this album has always been the writing
There's plenty of great metal and hardcore albums with trashcan production.
The problem here is that the band takes turns either sounding like generic groove metal or generic alt metal, this being coupled with lyrics that a 15 year old would write and no solos is what makes it truly garbage in my eyes, and better production would not fix those problems
If all the songs were like half as long this album would be legit great. The riffs slap, the lyrics are hilarious (unintentionally, but it’s still a positive for me), and the drum production never really bothered me. Also, All Within My Hands is a top 3 Metallica song and I’ll DIE ON THAT HILL
I even love the length. But I agree with all this too
I agree with the length being too dragged. All the songs feel like filler.
@@andrerey29 Yeah like they intentionally took out the extended bridges leading into a long guitar solo that their songs usually have, but instead of streamlining the songs by doing so they just added 2 more verse-choruses to each one that they really didn’t need. Still, I like the album overall
I love the album instrumental but I despise the lyrics, if they re-released it for it's 20th anniversary with reworked lyrics (or just a pure instrumental) it would be one of my favorite albums by them.
i respect the opinion but they have like 50 songs better than all within my hands, maybe if it was shorter and better written and produced i could see it, the remade acoustic version is pretty good tho

As soon as I watched the title and thumbnail, I directly gave Brad a like even without watching because I knew it should have been hell of a work for him 😂
Thank you for subjecting yourself to this torture for us Brad, your sacrificed mental health and love for Metallica shall not be forgotten after listening to this disaster
"this should've been a career killer"
It kind of was. Not that Metallica stopped making music or that they haven't had further influence, especially regarding DMCA and music on the internet unfortunately, but their relevance in the metal scene was nearly completely nixed after St. Anger. They'll always have the legacy of their first five albums but only reason many people still listen to anything new they put out at this point is to see if they're still making bad music.
EDIT: also the fact that they've only made three new albums in the 20 years since St. Anger, compared to seven albums in the 20 years preceding it
St. Anger should've been a warning for the state of the band going forward, even today
72 Seasons is plagued with the biggest issue of St. Anger: They no longer know when a song is dragging for too long, and they don't have enough cool ideas to warrant their length 90% of the time lmao
No way near a career killer tho. Metallica are as big they’ve always been and sell out stadiums all over the world. There priorities are different than from 20 years ago. They obviously don’t make music as they used to do, but not even close to a career killer.
death magnetic slaps and i will die on that hill
@@defaultdan7923 Honestly can't get into Death Magnetic, every song is a year long. I do really like Hardwired though even though I know its really nothing special haha
@@whatastandupguy3050 fair enough, i personally believe that the songs are justifiably long, but i can also stomach st anger so that might say more about me than anything. i feel the riffs in DM more than make up for the length.
St. Anger is mindblowing. You think you know how bad the snare is, but it's so much worse every time you hear it.
When I was a kid, I pretended to be a drummer with an empty pot and a wooden spoon. It sounded almost exactly like the snare of this album. 😂
i love the snare but not in this context, it’s like a grindcore trash can snare but it’s used in a dad rock nickelback cover band way
This album is a collection of loud (like really loud) abrasive songs that for me, are actually pretty good individually. The bad ones are unlistenable, but the good ones at least rock out. Listening to it in its entirety was never going to work out. I listened to this album in full on the bus once, and got a headache halfway through.
Listening to 3 songs once in a while is how I take it
Back in 2018, I reacted to St Anger single and got a lot of Metallica fans upset at me. The video is no longer available on my channel but its a deep part of my channel history/lore. I feel like its almost a music react channel rite of passage. That tinny, metal snare needs to keep making a resurgence ever year through a new person listening to these songs for the first time.
This feels like when a video game from a well known developer comes out broken and unfinished
24:19 I FUCKING DIED
Best Slipknot album.
For those that have sworn off the album, I encourage you all to listen to the radio edit of Some Kind of Monster because it sounds COMPLETELY different than the album version. The production is much cleaner and punchier, it's trimmed down to 4 minutes, and the pingy snare is toned down a lot. While it's still a little uneven structurewise, I think it actually sounds pretty great! Like it's crazy how much of an improvement it is. Honestly if the whole album sounded like that and the tracklengths had been shortened, it could have been pretty decent
I agree to an extent. The issues that are not related to the drums might still be there. Bad writing, no solos, riffs are hit or miss. I think shortening each song would do the album a ton of favors.
it's so weird that they didn't give the rest of the songs the same treatment as that radio edit
"Alright guys, we're going to release the 4th and final single of the album, but we're going to try something a little different than what we did for the first 3. We're going to make this one listenable."
The intro of the first song sounds like they're recording someone across the street play music while hitting the snare
22:25 I find it really funny how Brad said that this music is Guantanamo Bay torture music, because the US military literally used Metallica music as torture for POWs at Guantanamo Bay. And worse yet, James Hetfield said he's proud that his music got used like that
Chris Hetfield???

29:15 "What's worse St. Anger or Results May Vary?"
What's worse? A migraine that has you screaming for an hour or being bored out of your mind for an hour?
The Unnamed Feeling is one of the better songs. It has great lyrics about anxiety and panic attacks.
Yep. It might seem cliched, but if you're in the unfortunate position of being able to "get it" then you'll know it's actually mercilessly authentic.
watching this one live was excrutiating. on the last 2 tracks it was almost impossible to keep going.
as a longtime defender of this album (even though i think it's a 6/10 at best), this video actually makes me really happy lmao
i feel like the album is absolutely unconventional and you have to be in a certain mood to even begin to appreciate what it tries to do, but with that being said, i still understand why people hate it and agree with most of their criticisms. watching people's horrified reactions to songs i actually love (like frantic, the title track, sweet amber and the unnamed feeling) is always a treat to me
I AM THE ANGER! St. Table 'round my neck.
Like how even though this is a completely different genre you still take jabs at her. She deserves it.
St. Anger is one of those albums on my “so weird and interesting to me that I can’t hate it, but too terrible for me to say it’s good” list of albums. It sits proudly alongside Speedin Bullet 2 Heaven, Angelic 2 The Core, Philosophy of the World, and Honestly, Nevermind for me.
Wooow, was not expecting Brad to dig the “… my life style determines my death style” line. I personally find it a little on the nose lol
It is but Metallica has tons of on the nose lyrics at this point & it’s a unique line that stands out in a good way imo
There's a really high quality remake of this by just one guy here on yt and with a normal sounding snare and slightly updated production a lot of the songs actually graduate to decent quality, notably the title track. To me this album's biggest sin is that its the most glaring example of metallica's biggest weakness: tone-deaf songwriting. They tried to capture the lightning in a bottle that was the nu-metal wave of the late 90s and early 2000s and in doing so revealed just how out of touch they were. Weirdly enough though, the songs have actually aged rather well, which isn't hard to see if you look up recent live performances of the title track. From a comment I read listening to that remake for the first time, "If this had been some unknown band's first album it would've been a huge success for them, but the reality is this came from Metallica."
Edit: its also worth noting that this was when it became obvious that metallica was surrounding themselves with yes men in the studio
i own this on vinyl
I still find it crazy how THIS album is what got me into metallica, i remember thinking to myself at the time, " Hmm, it's alright. I wonder how their other albums sound." Boy if i only knew
As a person that enjoys this album unironically this is hilarious to watch
Love your content, Brad
YOU LIVE IT OR LIE IT YOU LIVE IT OR LIE IT YOU LIVE IT OR LIE IT YOU LIVE IT OR LIE IT
Brad's gotta cover And Justice For All and the Black Album at some point
How to fix the album:
1. Cut all of the songs in half
2. Add appropriate interludes and guitar solos
3.Fix all of the cringey vocals
4.Get a different drummer???
5.Maybe a limp Bizkit feature?
6.Does anyone have any other ideas?
tbh i have to share some words of my life
i've been growing up with rammstein, linkin park, and specifically this album. and tbh, i don't know if its just my pink glasses but i legit love this album. now i'm 26 years old and have acomplished nothing. i still live with my mom struggling to find an education because of my insane procastination. therefore frantic hits even harder for me.
and its kinda sad to me that everyone hates on this. it sounds raw, dirty and just unique. i can feel the anger, i can feel every emotion that went into the songs. to me personally it still holds a special place in my heart and i wish more people would appreciate it.
They don't because it's complete and utter garbage
as soon as the album started, all I could hear was "DONG DONG DONG" from the snare LOL
Brad's random singing and rapping and talking and playing samples all sounded better and more well-planned and more well-produced than anything on the original track. It almost made the instrumentals bearable.

@@cotopaximusic you OK bro?
I'm madly in happy with you, Brad
This was my introduction to Metallica in 2003, I was only 9 years old at the time, and it was what really got me into them. Then I listened to RTL and MOP and they blew me away and they became my favourite band
The whole album sounds like a demo tape
I… I like this album
Against all odds, I hated this thing for years but I really enjoy it now
Props for suffering through it though, Mr. TasteInMusic
WHA??? Members video uploaded early?? Thanks Brad! btw has Koi No Yokan been filmed yet?
The backstory to the creation of this album is way more interesting than the album itself. Although I will say a positive about this album is that it’s noticeable that the band members were going through a lot, and the music clearly conveys some unhinged anger in it. I understand what this album is saying, but the sound of it is so grating on the ears that it’s hard to stick around.
I love this album unironically but Brad's reaction was still priceless.
The sound they were going for (confirmed by Bob Rock) was a garage band sound in basically every way and the snare sound (confirmed by Lars) came from the fact that the snare was in the off position for all 11 tracks to match the sound they were going for, that's why the snare rings out like it does.
this is like the cyberpunk 2077 of metal albums
This album, despite being a colossal pile of garbage, sold more copies than Motorhead's entire discography, and was #1 in nearly 30 countries. HOW
I hate that this was my introduction to Metallica; the song St. Anger will always have a place in my heart because of waking up at 6 in the morning to see the music video before school....
At least you have childhood nostalgia to kinda color this album in a better light than most of us who were just absolutely beaten to near death and spat on in a weeping mess on the floor lol.
“Aside from the snare” is like “but other than that, Mrs. Lincoln, how was the play?”
I'm glad I never took the risk to go through this album and get to vicariously experience this sonic torture while getting some laughs out of it. Thanks dude ;)
I love this album. Sweet Amber, and The Unnamed Feeling are my favorites
Bruh i havent even finished the vod and you've already edited and uploaded the stream. ADHD is fucked, im on day 3 of watching the VOD lol.
Highly recommend checking out the St. Anger cover by a band called Gurschach. They are from the Bay Area in California and they actually make the song not only listenable, but jammable
we deserve justice now
I relistened to St. Anger about a month ago because I wanted to get into Metallica's discography--I liked the first three albums a lot and then decided to return to it. It was both a better experience and a worse one at the same time. Better because a few songs positively stuck out and I wasn't really bothered by the snares. Worse because I forgot I had skipped half way through most songs and forgot how excruciatingly long the project was for each song. For a band that typically has some of the best long-run tracks, this was a pain to get through again, WITHOUT skipping.
Can’t believe y’all voted this album just to hear Brad trash it when he could’ve listened to Koi No Yokan a deftones masterpiece 😭
Maybe it can still happen. That album is a spiritual experience.
Album art reminds me of Arthur's fist
I love how Brad's body was trying to defend him from the music by knocking his ass out halfway through the album.
Watching the documentary changed my perspective on this album. I like what it stands for and how it fits within Metallica's history. It had to be made. Could it sound way better? Hell yes. The drum sound (how does one go from Black Album's drum sound to this monstrosity is beyond me), song length (some of the sections were legit copy-pasted in pro tools just to make the songs longer) are the main problems. The "live in studio" version kind of fixes the first one. There were a few guys who rerecorded the album back in 2015 I think and it's pretty decent.
Unnamed Feeling is to this day my favorite Metallica songs and I wish it was constructed in other way, because the lyrics are amazing (besides the "been here before" part)
