Everybody complains about this one just because it's Metallica, if it was made by a less known band no one would give a shit. It isn't a good album, but I find it "enjoyable".

Besides, it contains The Unnamed Feeling, one of my top 5 favorite Metallica songs.

>>72439847
I think the reason why people don't like it is because of the production, which is completely fucking retarded. At least compared to their other records.

korn? metallica? what is this, the 90s?

Korn [Epic, 1995]

The cover art depicts a frightened little girl on a swing set cowering as the menacing shadow of a hook-handed rapist draws near. The band loves this image and flaunts it in all of their trade ads as Sony flogs their death-industrial into its second year. They also sing about child abuse--guess what? They're agin it. But if their name isn't short for kiddy porn, the band should insist on a music video where they all get eaten by giant chickens. C+

Life Is Peachy [Epic, 1996] *bomb*

Follow The Leader [Epic, 1998]

Korn deny they're metal--that's Judas Priest, all four-four pomp and solos. But they nevertheless demonstrate that the essence of metal, an expressive mode it seems will be with us for as long as ordinary whiteboys pity themselves, fear girls, and are permitted to rage against a world they'll never beat, is self-obliterating volume and self-aggrandizing display. Calling up death metal's signature groan to prove he's authentic, poor not-actually-abused Jonathan Davis creaks, clicks, clacks, groans, and scats his way through dull verses, eerie licks, strange bridges, and a hyperactive rhythm section. How much his fans identify with such lyrics as "I'll kiss your lifeless skin" and "You trick-ass slut" is unclear. But I'm parent enough to hope that they find a more fully-formed designate than someone whose idea of social commentary is netcasting softcore S&M to any teenager with a logon. C+

Issues [Epic, 1999] *bomb*

This one is completely different from the Pantera everybody is used to, but I like it. A lot. One of the few 80's metal albums that REALLY sounds like 80's metal to me.

>What it is: An album that deals with a anthropomorphic version of Reznor's addictions in to a vile woman he loves and hates. and just wants to get out of her grasp.

>Why it sounds like it does: Because Reznor was still in a fragile state of recovery and went to Rick Rubin for advice on releading a personal album without it nearly fucking killing him like The Fragile did.

>Popular opinion here: It's too commercial sounds, WITHA TEETHA, GOT MY ARMS IN FLIPFLOP FLIPFLOP

Some LP releases deserve a 2.20 on RYM. This is not one of them, and one of their only two actually musically interesting releases.

The album was fucking awesome, falsies couldn't handle the unique and rough production.

>>72439877
This. It's alright.

>>72440068
This album made me cry, listened from it from beginning to the end, the release which comes with Right Where It Belongs belongs to one of the best moments from Trent's discography.

It needs much more love

>>72440817
Absolution was better and even more underrated by """patricians"""

Paramore - s/t
Paramore - brand new eyes

These are both solid albums.

>>72440836
I was actually tossing up between posting OoS and Absolution, I still return to both sometimes

>>72439865
It was decent continuation of Hvis/Filosofem. Compared to the garbage that followed, Belus was pretty great.

>>72440861
I wouldn't call them outright garbage. They both have their moments. I don't think that he should have upped the production quality, though.

>>72440897
Fallen was halfway to being a good album, he tried something new but didn't really vary it beyond the first track.
Personally I thought Umskiptar was a sloppy mess. Sleep-inducing but not in the good way.

>>72440984
Oh, yeah, I agree there. Maybe it's a good thing that he went full fucking Skrillex after those two, I don't know.

none of their albums were really bad, but they receive a lot of hate.

>>72441021
It's probably because of the weed, ska influences , and the pasty white kids that listen to them

40oz to Freedom is a fantastic album. Not a bad track on it. Most people that hate Sublime are just contrarians.

The wide aray of ever changing insults about this album never landed safely in my opinion, there's clear things people could point out and say "this is why I don't like it", but instead they stick to their "they don't know how to write songs anymore" arguments.

>>72439847
It proved that they could write decent riffs even while actively selling out to nu metal/post grunge but completely losing guitar leads is retarded for a band like metallica.

>>72442806
Literally their best imo, either that or around the fur. White pony is overrated

>>72440842
Wholeheartedly agree, s/t was a fantastic progression/experimental time for the band

>>72439847
St. Anger is fucking good and everyone who doesn't like it has shitty taste in art.

Daily fucking reminder that even though the first four Metallica albums are masterpieces of their genre, their top artistic contribution of their careers and their musical peak was Load and Re-Load, giving an honorable mention to St. Anger.
