St. Anger is good. For one of the hugest bands in the world to do something that's dirty, grimy, and lo-fi takes a lot of guts and a true sense of "I don't care what people think." From Metallica fans I know, I've heard nothing but complaints. One referred to it as "banging on pots." I don't think a lot of people really get it. This record has some amazing moments. The somewhat scattershot lyrics can be questionable, and some songs lack focus, but the record's experimentation and pure intensity make up for it.
Many people feel that Metallica should have kept playing thrash on every album, but in my opinion if they did they would have hung it up a long time ago. Take Slayer for an example. They haven't really changed from album to album and people still buy their stuff, but no one puts them on a pedistol anymore because they have the same stale sound and has turned pretty boring. When a new Slayer album is released you don't have to get exicted about it because you already know what its going to be like. Metallica has kept everyone on their toes to what their next move is, and no I don't agree with everything that they have done, but they keep it interesting.
Hot hot heat kick ass, as do radiohead. The band that really needs to stop, now, is "The Who", if you can call them that still, and The Sex Pistols. Punk is officially dead when The Sex Pistols play a reunion tour. Im fine just as long as theres no Led Zeppelin reunion. At that point I will kill myself. But pretty much any artist just making music for the money needs to be struck down, and fast.
gonna be hard for Led Zeppelin to reunite, actually it is impossible.
And I agree The Who have played their role, lets keep the good memories we have of them. I never listen too or read anything that is about Deep Purple. For me they made their last album with "Come taste the band" in 1975. Oh I was very excited about their reunion in 1984 but then I thought more about it and said no way. I cherish my Deep Purple, but "MY" Purple laid off in 1976.
We should add Kiss to this list
