| drbunnig said: @Chrkeller I disagree about post Black Metallica. Not as good as the old stuff, but there's some top quality songs there on pretty much every album (except St Anger, but even some of that ain't half bad). Bleeding Me is easily one of the best songs they've ever done. The Outlaw Torn as well. A lot of great material. The biggest issue is the albums are too long, and some of the songs need trimming down (which is an issue they had dating back to Ride the Lightning). If they cut say 3-4 songs from each Load album and Hardwired, and 1-2 from St Anger and Death Magnetic (along with trimming the fat from certain songs on the last 3), they'd fare better I think. |
At the risk of getting chased out of town, I'm gonna say Load is my favorite Metallica album (although it would be AJFA with better bass/production). After Reload there wasn't much that hooked me though, except Unforgiven III which imo is right up there with the best Metallica songs, and The Day That Never Comes is also great.
I do agree on Metallica songs in general being too long.
