St Anger is a fine an dandy album, so is Load, and so is Reload. 

i kinda liked  ST anger it wasnt that bad. now death magnetic on the other hand

metallica sucks. 

Oh man, you said you liked every Metallica album that I think absolutely killed the band, so we can't agree.  Metallica before those albums is a great rock band.  It's too bad.

Metallica during and before Black album - good
Post-black - shit

Give your money to a band more deserving that actually needs it, and if you feel like giving them money go and buy Justice For All again.

As for Death Magnetic, I actually regret letting a friend burn me a copy, I can't even make it through half that album without getting bored and switching to some Megadeth.

I tried to edit the quote. I was referring specifically to "they've tried more different things musically than any other band"

I'll put it this way:

"I'll put it this way:

If someone hates St. Anger, they hate Motorhead.  If someone hates Motorhead, then that automatically makes them a bad person.

If someone hates Load, they hate good music.  If someone hates Reload, it's okay.  That album was just the leftovers from Load anyways.

If someone hates S&M, then you might still be able to be saved.

Also, those who like the Black Album in any way automatically likes mudkips too.

"

St. Anger was not a bad album. It just wasnt a very good Metallica Album. 

And Im just gonna say it.....I like almost all the new songs on Death Magnetic and alot of their older songs too. I honestly dont understand why so many people seem to despise their new songs and the album

Am I like the only damn one here  that likes Death Magnetic?

Metallica is still awesome

Oh please, like I haven't heard that one a million times before.Load and Reload were both good albums, just a different style which sends all the narrowminded metalheads crazy.S&M was very cool and probably my favourite way to listen to Metallica the majority of the time.Garage albums were fine.I liked St.Anger too.Some of the songs were shit but there were some good ones too;again in a different style.People find it hard to accept that they don't want to play trash metal all their lives.Death Magnetic was ok, but seemed a bit forced. "

I would say its been said a million times before because it seems to be the 'cool' thing to say, th status quo,  the norm, the expected. 

I'm not a fan of St.Anger at all.... Death Magnetic was a good album but what happend to moving forward? Seems like they noticed St. Anger didn't get the responds they wanted and all of a sudden hey lets just go back to trash and hey Kirk can you masturbate on the guitar with the wah on?

I guess that's what they do best?

Plus I'm a fan of Megadeth more so :).

St Anger was made as a reaction to how they were feeling at the time, its a product of their collective emotional states @ th time, it was certainly not a 'new direction' which required a 'response', it was a one off in terms of lyrical content and production and should be dealt with as such.

Even the worst Metallica record is better than anything else.  
 
Death Magnetic is awesome! Have you seen the new songs on live tour? They sound awesome and can proudly stand near songs like Master of Puppets or Battery. Seriously, buy a DVD/Bluray and watch it on decent sound system, it will blow your mind. 

Or bore you silly

I liked S&M. The reason No Leaf Clover gets a lot of radio play to this day is because it is a catchy song, yet it is still metal-ish..

Death Magnetic is full of great toons.  From the rockin' shit like Suicide and Redemption to the ballads Metallica's always done like Unforgiven III. 
St. Anger was full of energy.  That's what I loved about it.  That album was nearly more about the drums than anything else.  But the energy it puts out is just amazing. 
S&M was beautiful.  No Leaf Clover was a great song, and one of the only original songs on that album.  But being a fan of both classical and rock/metal, S&M was a beautiful combo of the two.  
Garage Inc. was a good compilation of covers.  And in many cases on that album, I prefer the Metallica cover to the original. 
 I liked Load and Reload just fine.  No more, no less than the older shit.  And I like the older shit just fine.  But I wouldn't go anywhere so far as to say that anything post-whatever album was crap. 
 
It's just another fucking bandwagon for people to jump on to say that anything post-xxx album sucks.  Especially when half the people that say it weren't even around for those albums.

*insert thread necromancy image*

Only CD I liked was Ride The Lightning. Also seen them live twice, first time I got bored and went home, second time I fell asleep in a toilet.

Metallica haven't done it for me since the Black Album. Everything since I've been infinitely disappointed with. They sound like a garage band trying to catch up with each current trend. Load and Re-load was an attempt to tap into the mainstream, St. Anger was an attempt to sound as raw, less technical and un-produced as possible and Death Magnetic is an attempt to sound as old school as possible. All of these attempts have failed, Metallica should just be Metallica and write original material, that buck trends like they used to. I honestly believe the well has run dry and they simply do not have any more good songwriting left in them.

Anger was an abortion of an album

Eh, as to the game in general, it's the only GH game I plug in anymore, although that's probably once a month or less.

St.Anger was a pile of shit, Metallica are capable of much more, as seen in the 80's with all first 4 albums, even the Black album was "Ok" but nothing compared to there earlier releases.
Death Magnetic sounds like they tried to hard to be fast and heavy and turned out sounding rushed and over produced, St.Anger wasn't a risk it was them being fucking lazy by cutting out solos and trying to get as many sales as possible.

St.Anger

  

Battery

  

Which ones better? "

They have yet to top fade to black, until they do I shall avoid talking about anything Metallica related.

" And Im just gonna say it... "

Loved Death Magnetic, they are old bastards and still they brought it. You can hate Metallica for not churning out the same exact sound for every cd, but then that just makes you a close minded dick.

Not a fan of Metallica. Never have been. I respect what they've done in the music industry but it just doesn't flip the happy, must listen switch in my head. Though my friend listens to Battery like it's essential to life. Like breathing to live. Seriously, I wish that song would just fall off the earth.

I don't even like Metallica and even I know St. Anger sucks.
