Nordick posted:Uh Could have been more precise of course, and less facetious, but what would be the fun of that. But it is not like Metallica have produced anything on the same level as the quartet Ride, Master, Justice and Black, where Black came out 91. That is 25 years ago, and it is pretty naive that Metallica would be able to return to that. Especially considering Hetfield would need to return to being a stage-frightened alchoholic as well as the return of Newsted alternatively raising Burton from the grave.

I don't mean to drag up an argument literally older than I am, but when you put together Metallica's best run of 4 albums straight, you seriously leave off Kill 'Em All in favor of the s/t?

I don't think anyone can say Carcass has done any real bad, so that's more than can be said for some groups of middle-aged musicians in the metal genre.

Decameron wrote a really cool song that's half Metallica and half Swedish meloblackdeath. I've never heard anything else like it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6gNxGPQiEFA

Not that its ideal, but I'd rather listen to Swansong than Heartwork. Heartwork is like nails on a chalkboard for me.

yeah the idea of an artist or band peaking and never getting back there is stupid case in point: sonny sharrock the reason bands like metallica or whoever drop off a cliff is because they quit writing all the time once they don't have to do the constant album/tour cycle to make a living it's a skill like anything else. if you don't keep working at it atrophy sets in

I listened to the new Metallica last night all the way through and it basically just struck me as a groovy doom album since the same riff just gets repeated in slightly different ways

The songs are much better but they still suffer from way too loving long syndrome which has plagued Metallicas albums since St Anger. and for gently caress sake someone needs to sit Lars in front of a drum kit with no snare drum and tell him to come up with some loving drum fills. Just the tip of that iceberg though.

I'm thinking McBrain on Somewhere in Time. Outstanding drum work on that album and lots of interesting snare technique. Ulrich can't even come up with a good, basic drum pattern, so let's be real -- fills are beyond him. Listen to "Man Unkind." The dumb fucker plays 3/3 waltz patterns over a song written in straight 4/4 and it's distracting as poo poo. He's a loving retard with zero technique.

I ain't a drummer either but my metric is deciding whether they're just around to keep time, or are actually using the drums as an instrument. If you never notice the drummer while listening to a song, they're an overpaid metronome.

It doesn't sound like his playing on any other album. http://www.soundonsound.com/people/metallica-one-classic-tracks quote:"'One' was played entirely to a click track, and it took us probably half a day to figure out the varying tempos,” Flemming Rasmussen now recalls. "The chorus was actually a lot quicker than the verses, so I had to manually punch in and out a Linn Drum click track on the 24‑track to make sure we got that tempo transition over the bridge, before it then fell back to the original tempo for the verses. Kirk and James played their guide parts together with the drums. Then we took the tempo from that and, once we had laid down the click track, Lars did a quick run‑through and the guitarists played their parts to that. From there, we started building the track, section by section. Snowy posted:Has anyone written a thorough examination of all the ways Lars sucks at drumming? I have a work friend who thinks it's all unfair hate but I don't know enough about drumming to explain it. the short answer is they're pretty much the only metal band where the guitar is the primary timekeeping instrument The Muppets On PCP fucked around with this message at 01:13 on Nov 17, 2016 |

May as well just dump the sequencers & faux bass modules, pick up a guitar, a bass & a drum set, & make some REAL dark Music. It's called Metal, & has many shades ranging from Thrash Metal to Melodic Death Metal to Satanic Death Metal to Black Metal to Blackened Death Metal to Ambient Metal to Grind to Industrial & many other sub-genres. Techno music is for fourth graders.
