Mama, they try and break me
The window burns to light the way back home
A light that warms no matter where they’ve gone
They’re off to find the hero of the day
But what if they should fall by someone’s wicked way?
Still the window burns
Time so slowly turns
And someone there is sighing
Keepers of the flames
Do you feel your name?
Did you hear your babies crying?
Mama, they try and break me
Still they try and break me
Excuse me while I tend to how I feel
These things return to me that still seem real
Now, deservingly, this easy chair
But the rocking stopped by wheels of despair
Don’t want your aid
But the fist I make
For years can’t hold or feel
No, I’m not all me
So please excuse me while I tend to how I feel
But now the dreams and waking screams
That ever last the night
So build the wall, behind it crawl
And hide until it’s light
So can you hear your babies crying now?
Still the window burns
Time so slowly turns
And someone there is sighing
Keepers of the flames
Did you feel your names?
Did you hear your babies crying?
But now the dreams and waking screams
That ever last the night
So build a wall, behind it crawl
And hide until it’s light
So can’t you hear your babies crying now?
Mama, they try and break me
Mama, they try and break me
Mama they try
Mama they try

the scheme and wording.... wow. I've never seen them written out like this. I always thought this was their best work, but I never actually took the time read the lyrics. Damn

Load [Elektra, 1996]
The good thing about being old is that I'm neither wired to like metal nor tempted to fake it. Just as I suspected, these Johnny-come-latelies-meet-the-new-boss-same-as-the-old-boss-es can no more do grunge than they can double ledger bookkeeping. Grunge simply isn't their meter. So regardless of what riff neatniks think, this is just a metal album with the song lengths shortened and the tempos slowed, which is good because it concentrates their chops and strengthens their songwriting, and bad because it also means more singing, which they can't.

Is he fucking serious? When you take a time to actually read his nonsense, his writing prowess is really that of a middle school nerd trying to sound smart. Even his famous THE FACT THAT meme reads like a 6th grader's essay homework.

Metallica is shit, entry level garbage. Kill Em All is okay.

...And Justice For All [Elektra, 1988]
Problem isn't that it's more self-aware than Puppets, which is inevitable when your stock-in-trade is compositions rather than songs. Problem is that it's also longer than Puppets, which is inevitable when your stock-in-trade is compositions rather than songs. Just ask Yes. C+

>>73620586
Is he implying composition isn't pretty much the song in its entirety especially an instrument heavy genre like metal?
>>
>>73620617
I think he's never managed to figure out how metal works. He seems to not understand how instruments instead of just vocals can get the message of the song across.

That's a problem with critics in general, they can only write about lyrics since it's difficult to describe sounds. It can go some ways to explaining why critics have never liked metal.
