generational lines are so stupid nowadays anyway, the boomers made sense because they were named after a specific event that influenced the US population, same can kinda be said for the generation that actually fought in WWII, but it seems like everything after that is just arbitrary blocks of like 15 years with not that much tying them together as a generation. Generations should be based around cohorts with some widespread commonality, regardless of how many years its been since the next/last one. I know 'millenial' was supposed to be 'people who came of age around the new millennium' but it goes from 81-96; the person that was 19 during y2k or 20 on 9/11 has nothing in common with the person who was 4-5. The world went through an insane change/revolution with high speed internet/internet capable phones/social media, thats something worth naming a generation after. i feel like if you were highschool or older on 9/11 you should be a different generation than people younger than that. People who watched he-man as it broadcast are not the same generation as people that played gaia online, neopets, or club penguin, and they're still different from the kids that were watching elsa/spiderman foot pregnancy videos because their mom handed them an ipad and ignored them between 18 months and whenever they started doing meth. and yeah yeah I know  https://twitter.com/leonkennedymilk/status/1544728060548845570

Todd in the Shadows had a great take on the St. Anger snare-- "it's like Jar Jar in the Phantom Menace. Everyone knows how hated it is. If anything it's probably over-hated. But no matter what you think of it, you can't ignore it. It's always there. It's always influencing the experience."

flavor.flv posted:I applaud and envy your decision to have never once listened to St. Anger It's really not that bad. Tight heads; loose wires. A pretty common drum tuning technique for metal, recorded and processed a little more 'raw' than it usually is for heavier groups like Lamb of God. I chalk most of the hate for it up to group confirmation bias: like the 'loudness war' stuff about Death Magnetic, a few reviewers talked poo poo about it and it snowballed into the hate meme everyone seems to have now. Most popular heavy metal is mixed like that, nobody batted an eye when you could hear the slammed limiter on LoG's Wrath.

The drums sound bad, but so does everything else on yhe album. Load and reload may not be metal but they are more listenable than St Anger. Death Magnetic was fine even if it was not memorable.

Arivia posted:Yeah but Wrath is a way better album. I have a soft spot for it because it was basically the first LoG album I sat down and listened to, front-to-back. Went out with my college roommate to the record store; I bought Mastodon's Crack the Skye and he bought Wrath. We agreed to sit and listen to both. I initially felt assaulted by the aggressive limiting, but I think he made the better choice, in retrospect. I was a huge Mastodon fan but CtS was right about when they started to spiral up through a crack in they asses. There are like four excellent riffs on that album and they're all over far too soon.

I like Metallica but I've never been a huge fan, always thought the only really good music they have was the stuff written by Dave Mustaine. But like, I would listen to them if they come on the radio even now, and they have some decent bangers imo. When st anger came out they were my brother's favourite band, he was unbelievably excited about it and stayed up to listen to the entire thing on the radio at midnight when it released. Had like a deluxe preordered copy to pick up the next day etc. For about a week he got really mad at me whenever I pointed out that it was absolute garbage. Took him about another week after that to realise it was basically unlistenable poo poo.

Arivia posted:bobby prince was infamously a big plagiarist for the doom soundtrack https://www.doomworld.com/forum/topic/15339-bobby-prince-is-a-filthy-thief/ The first time I heard "Them Bones" by Alice In Chains was weird as hell, because I knew exactly what was coming up next in the song because I knew the Doom soundtracks back to front. That and the intro of South of Heaven by Slayer. They were used almost verbatim in Barrels O Fun and Dead Simple, respectively. I heard that, as it turned out, it wasn't actually so much that Mr Prince was a thief as the iD guys handed him a stack of metal albums and said "rip this off as closely as you can without us getting in trouble", and that before he was a music guy he was a lawyer, so he knew how far to push it.
