St. Anger, from the snare to the awful lyrics and the lame 'riffs' was a turd, no question. If you can rock out to any of the tracks on the album, then you have problems.

And Load/Reload are still better than St. Anger; Devil's Dance, Ain't My Bitch, King Nothing and The Memory Remains are still way more listenable than anything from St. Anger.

Hahaha.

Anyway, there is no way DM is underrated, there's not a single killing song on it, not very memorable.

I thought for something to be underrated it has to be good but unrecognized by the general fan base plus it has to be out for sometime too.

The Beatles are also more listenable than Slayer, but that doesn't mean, that they are better. And if Slayer would play a Beatles style album, what would the fanbase say?

And St. Anger has many rock out tracks like Dirty Window, Frantic, MyWorld, Some Kind of Monster, Purify, All Within my Hand and with the Unnamed Feeling a half ballad that's better than Unforgiven II...

By listenable, I don't mean commercial, as for me Slayer are way more listenable than Beatles, whom I hate. By listenable, I mean that I can stand to listen to it. Although just because of the fact that you somehow think that going tick tick tick tick tock is even remotely something that you can rock out to, then you must be fucked in the head. Seriously, how can you think Frantic is a great opener when Metallica are/were capable of the likes of Battery and Blackened?

Because Enter Sandman and Hit the Lights are also great opener and also not the same like Battery or Blackened. And even Battery is different compared to Master of Puppets, Sanitarium or Leper Messiah. Blackened is also different compared to and justice for all, One or The Frayed Ends of Sanity. Hit the Lights is different compared to Four Horsemen, Whiplash or Seek and Destroy.

And Frantic is not only "tic tic tic tic toc" but also

Quote:
If I could have my wasted days back
Would I use them to get back on track?
Stop to warm at Karma's burning
Or look ahead, but keep on turning?

Do I have the strength
To know how I'll go?
Can I find it inside
To deal with what I shouldn't know?

Could I have my wasted days back
Would I use them to get back on track?

You live it or lie it!

My lifestyle determines my death style

Keep searching, Keep on searching
This search goes on, This search goes on


And I think that the lyrics are not that bad.

If you listen to it superficially, you're only hearing the ding ding of the snare, and the tic tic tic toc, but, if you listen to it more than one time, you can enjoy it - sometimes. ;)

St.Anger is certainly NOT their best album but their worst, I agree.

But to be honest, I can enjoy some songs from it.

And you have every right to enjoy some songs regardless of what people might think and we have a right to say we rather listen to Joan Rivers on speed talk about her life while a doctor gives us a prostate exam wearing gloves coated with poison ivy :D

The crap lyrics are partly what's fun about St Anger. Pity the songs are all too damn long, even moreso than DM.

It ain't the fault of metallica, that some people are not able to listen to long songs. Maybe the MTV Videoclips has fucked their heads so much, that they have only a attention span of 3 Minutes...

:wacko:

long songs are fine if they're interesting enough, but 8 minutes of the same riff is boring.

Then you can't say that the DM songs are too long, because there are no songs where there's only one riff... :P

One interesting riff >>>>> many dull, boring riffs. As in, Meshuggah - Bleed >>>>> Metallica - Judas Kiss.

Yeah, Viscera Eyes by the Mars Volta is 9 minutes and is mainly just 2 riffs, but it's an amazing song and never gets boring.

:lol: I agree, after listening to St. Anger after getting over the shellshock from the shitiness of the songs, I coudn't believe how hard I was laughing, especially on Invisible Kid.

And MetalWarrior, those openers/songs have one thing in common: they are actually fucking good, unlike Frantic. I wasn't saying that Battery and Blackened are the same, I was saying that they're killer openers. Also quoting Frantic isn't such a good idea:

Stop to warm at Karma's burning

My lifestyle determines my death style

:lol: especially the second one. But fuck it, to each his own.

Also I saw the vid for The Day that Never Comes, and I have to say it's pretty awesome, except for James' vocals which are getting quite shit, but otherwise it's a great song, in the style of One (but nowhere nearly that good, obviously).

Frantic IS a good song!
Probably the only true good song on St Anger.

There's a number of 'good' songs on St. Anger.

There just isn't any great ones. I thought Sweet Amber came the closest.
