As much as you guys poo poo on Metallica, a lot of people (including my self) wouldn't be into metal if it wasn't for songs like Battery, Enter Sandman, or One. Sure they aren't the best songs for a metal head of refined taste, but for angry 13 year old Durendal, AJFA was the loving poo poo.

In a year when Anthrax, Testament and Slayer released their most flaccid, most easily palatable albums to date Metallica veering their sound toward a more tech-thrash direction must have seemed like a pretty ballsy move. I like AJFA.

AJFA was the first metal album I bought for myself (on loving TAPE, no less) so it will always have a special place in my heart. I still think it's legit good but cannot really separate that from personal nostalgia.

AJFA is in my Top 5 albums of all time. I was 9 when that album came out and I still remember watching / listening to One for the very first time: I was blown away. It still holds up very well up to this day and in my opinion it's the best album Metallica has ever recorded.

Exactly the same here. Bought it (albeit on CD) when I was 12. "Blackened", "Dyers Eve", and "Eye of the Beholder" will always be nostalgic to me.

Neck of the Woods just released their debut EP, after only having a demo before. Really interesting progressive death. I'm liking it a lot so far.

You know, I noticed that while covered in blood from Darkened Nocturn Slaughtercult's set last night that when walking the streets and interacting with the people of Baltimore, you tend to get poo poo done much quicker.

I get that for some people any band filling a room with more than 5,000 people automatically turns the band in the "too mainstream/poo poo" category, but saying Metallica is 'bad' is just dumb. Unless you're a musician and you can show me the music you, yourself, composed, it's very hard to take such comments seriously.

Discuss.

Because that is just dumb. We all have ears, we know when stuff sounds good.

if you consider a band's music to be in the lowest, say, quartile of all the contemporary music of a similar style then it's pretty normal to call that band a bad band. I don't see this as controversial.

It sucks to talk about metallica can we talk about literally anything else? I've been digging the Tau Cross album, crust supergroup with dudes from Amebix and Misery: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JOBssPbHRVY.

Does anyone else find Triptykon kind of boring or do I just have bad opinions about death metal?

Edit: Also the Indian food truck at Edison Lot is surprisingly solid. Will report back if I regret this move in a couple hours.

Nope. You're right. As a (lovely) musician, I think that if Tom G. Warrior wasn't who he is then nobody would give two fucks about Triptykon. I only want to hear Hellhammer and Celtic Frost songs anyway.

Well they aren't a death metal band so it wouldn't really matter either way
