Unpopular opinion: This album is by far better than anything Metallica released after it, INCLUDING Death Magnetic. To me it sounds genuine, like it came purely and naturally from their hearts of hearts without any care if it would sell or not, and I like that. On the other hand, anything Metallica released after St. Anger sounds like that "How do you do, fellow kids?" meme... its cringy how they try so hard to catch that Ride The Lightining "lightning" in a bottle 40+ years after...

bruh is this joe rogan talking?

The beginning of the end !

@5:53 - WHICH interview?!?...

I got an ad for Tylenol during the video. Pretty much sums up my feelings. There is a fan remix of Frantic on RUclips that honestly brings the song up to a C Grade Metallica song so I just take that remix and run away from this album.

Those albums got me into Metallica. I was more into Punk, Rock and Blues. I liked a bit of metal but more stuff like Danzig. Those two albums were just really fuck rock songs with a metal edge. Now I'm more of a fan of current day Metallica. I know thats blasphemy in some circles but I don't care. Hardwired and 72 Seasons are my favorites at the moment, then Death Magnetic, then Load/Reload. But all Metallica is awesome regardless. Except maybe that one album... Also, Lulu. What the hell was that? Worse than Saint Anger. Ok, I'm done 😂

90s grunge and alternative sounds changed the music industry incorporating Mello sounds with hard or heavy guitar I like the variety.

My friend of Misery is My top 3 Metallica songs. At times it`s Nr.1. Depending on My mood.

Justice has NO flaws, its hands down the BEST Thrash and Metal album w/ Master of Puppets. NOTHING can touch it.

Weird how Hetfield and Cantrell are best buddies now.

I'm sorry but Pantera owned that Monster of Rock show in Moscow.

I was a kid when Fuel came out and I love that song. Metallica’s old stuff was too long, no offense to y’all who like the Cliff era better

i love both albums

My cutoff was Justice. When Load came out it was pretty much confirmed that Metallica was no more. I remember how underwhelming it was hearing their "World Premiere" release of "Until it sleeps" on the radio after so many years of hearing nothing from them. I mean congratz on them seeding the genre of "Dad rock" but nobody will convince me they are the same band after Justice. I will give you the Black album, but for me it was a weak follow up to Justice. It was an easy pivot to Pantera from that point.

The Black Album sucked.

Metallica - PreLoad 1. Ain’t My Bitch 2. Fuel 3. The House that Jack built 4. Until It Sleeps 5. The Unforgiven II 6. King Nothing 7. The Memory Remains 8. Bleeding Me 9. The Cure 10. Fixxxer 11. The Outlaw Torn That’s the album they should’ve released. I love listening to this version.

For me Metallica only put out 4 albums plus garage days as a bonus

I think Load was a great album particularly lyrically, enjoy Reload but its not as strong. St Anger is the only Metallica record that i don't like or have time for

Nobody wants to do guitar no more. It's like having your eyebrows, pulled out one by one.

I always liked Load and Reload.

Joking about Cobain's suicide and Layne Staley's crippling heroin addiction... That was really classy Especially coming from a guy who forced his fellow bandmembers to go into group therapy bc he couldn't lay off the sauce himself

Dirty window's chorus sounds like Attack by SOAD

"Compelling fills and beats" uh are..are we talking about the same Lars Ulrich here? Dude has always just played the absolute bare minimum necessary. He is a lazy drummer that has played the same basic bitch ass rock beat for nearly 50 years now.

In a RUclips interview, Peter Steele from Type O Negative commented on Metallica cutting their hair, saying, "It felt like they didn't need to try anymore. People say Type O Negative has gotten heavier, but I'm not sure if they mean the music or our weight since we've all put on about 20 pounds. I think a band should maintain an image. If you take that for granted, it shows fans you don't value them. That's why I keep my hair long. I want to look the same now as I did 20 years ago. If you change your image too much, you're letting down your fans. Without them, we are nothing."

If Dave muster crated Napster.

I've always said that St. Anger is the best demo from a new unsigned band with no money that I've ever heard... unfortunately neither the album or the band are (or were at the time) any of those things. The album isn't bad for what it is, but rather for what it isn't but so clearly could have been. Antidotally, I was 15 / 16 when this album cam out and a buddy I had chem class with when out and bought it the day it came out and burnt me a copy. The next day he hands me the copy he made for me and said "it sucks" and nothing else LOL.

I've always had a lot of respect for Jason. You often hear of guys quitting bands but it's almost always from a place of bitterness and anger but Jason just understood that it was time for him to go. Their paths had diverged and it was okay but needed to be acknowledged and actioned upon. To have the poise and grace to make that decision and go about it the way he did at 38 years old and to do so despite the band being one of the biggest ever really shows a lot of character. I wasn't yet alive when Cliff died and despite Robert being the longest tenured bassist (about 22 years at the time of this comment) Jason will, to me , always be "the bassist from Metallica". I say that to illustrate the impact he had on the band, it's success, it's fans and on music.

Metallica was my favourite band until this album

Never forget: Jason was in the band longer than Cliff.

I lost them after Justice, one of my favorites, I can't rank them as I love them equally for different reasons up to Justice. And the bass boosted fan mix , Justice for Jason is cool, giving new life. If they wanted some quick dough they'd re-release their own bass lifted mix. Maybe I missed it if they did. I dug a couple tracks on black but they were played ad nauseum, couldn't escape it at the time. Every track, just heard over and over, bars, parties, jobsite radio. Couldn't take any more within a year. Garage inc was fun. Then it became obvious who they were becoming. Shitting on other bands, many comments about fans related to napster, after. The way they shit on Jason. But Load, Reload was repellant. St Anger, I didn't even know about it luckily. I'd followed music but ducked radio.

How many of their contemporaries are still around and as popular as Metallica is still today?

I have been a Metallica fan for so long and I actually love both Load and Re-Load. The more recent ones, maybe not so much.

The perfect record: 1. Fuel 2. 2x4 3. The Memory Remains 4. Until it sleeps 5. King Nothing 6. Bleeding me 7. Devil's dance 8. The Unforgiven II 9. Ain't my Bitch 10. Fixxxer 11. The outlaw thorn

Pantera is better. Rex is a better bass player also.

Oh good, I thought I was in the minority for not liking this album

Jason is and was to me the Metallica bass player.... He was way more Metallica speed then Rob or even Cliff.... Rob and Cliff were to good, and Jason's whole additude was Metallica

No matter the reasons, James and Lars are two assholes, great musicians, but fucking assholes

Solid documentary buddy, never listen to them nowadays, or should i say their post black album stuff, Fun to see some material around these two records, used to hate both of them

Nirvana Alternative Metal Experiment

2 of my favourite albums, screw the hate. Nothing wrong with a bit of blues rock

Putting metallica on a bill with Pearl Jam or Nirvana is tantamount to putting offspring on tour with the Dead Kennedys or the clash I’m saying Metallica is to thrash What offspring is to punk. It started out good, but now it doesn’t even belong in the same conversation .

I can't agree more, while given the state of rock and metal music at the time the change was understandable, and while there are genuine gems in this two albums like The memories remain, King nothing and Fuel, it is also full of filler, nothing burgers and self indulgent songs that do absolutely no favors to the experiment or the reputation of the band. Hell, the first song on load is Ain't my bitch, a drag of a song despite being only five minutes long. You could easily cut the two albums to just 10 and have a very solid hard rock album that keeps the band at the top of the music charts while protecting some of their old credibility but as things stand... these are the two albums where the real problem in post black album Metallica start: their incredible inconsistency, a problem that has just gotten worst and worst ever since. (sorry for the bad english)

I know it's a bit sacrilegious but these are my favourite Metallica albums. Personally they were there for me in a really dark time and I felt like I connected with them a lot, and I'll never forget it. Understand the hate and frustration people have towards the albums, but I can't shake the personal connection I have to them.

Newsted has been with short hair already during Black Album tour. 😂

Had to stop your video at the Napster take. Your oversimplified conclusion is terrible, especially taking modern streaming into consideration.

Metallica is such a case study, such big albums up until the Black album. The Black album was huge but in their quest for Michael Jackson fame they lost it. Only thing keeping them alive since 1992 is their live show and now it has turned into some kind of circus/Pink Floyd goulash. Between the screens, pyro and the band beating on oversized drums🤨Forever grateful to have the first four albums but they have tarnished their legacy for many people.

Being a fan since the early days, I get the evolution. I wasn’t always thrilled by the directions they took at times, but being a fan of a band for 40 years, you understand they can’t stay the same all the time. Creators and artists want to evolve and experiment.

Bob rock killed that band

Garbage 🗑️ Black was the last good album they need to retire .

Black album was such a disappointment. I knew it was 100% over. I had to accept the fact metallica died with Cliff. 😢
