Why does St. Anger get ridiculed for the snare but AJFA gets a pass for the missing bass?
>>
because even if there's no bass the songs are fucking amazing
st. anger is just shit all around and the snare is the cherry on top of the shit sandwich
>>
>>128016253
Because they were around 25 when they made AJFA, which has some of their best and most mature songs, while St. Anger is embarrassing angsty garbage made by 40 year olds trying to stay relevant.
>>
>>128016253
Imagine asking this question at all. You’re a retarded turbo nigger, OP.
>>
>>128016253
you sound incredibly stupid
>>
>>128016253
Because one has One, and the other doesn't.
>>
>>128016632
All Within My Hands and Unnamed Feeling are two of their best songs.

>>128016612
Live versions of St. Anger songs sound great and get great receptions, disproving the "the songs are worse" narrative.
>>
>>128016661
now you sound even more stupid
>>
>>128016253
Did you see the movie that goes with St Anger? That is why it's ridiculed.
>>
>>128016253
>AJFA gets a pass for the missing bass
it doesn't??
>>
>>128016253
the biggest problem with st anger is not the snare, it's the vocals and lyrics.
>>
>>128016253
SA gets ridiculed for:
- the snare
- the bad songs/songwriting
- James' embarrassing lyrics
- no Kirk, no solos

AJFA gets ridiculed for the
- no bass production

That's how it is. You're an idiot and you sucked your dad's cock
>>
>>128016253
Nobody cares about bass
>t. bass player
>>
Both retarded reasons to hate em. Every 'tallica album is good.
>>
>>128017308
>James' embarrassing lyrics
They actually shared songwriting credits and the doc showed it fairly well, although most still came from James.
I'd guess the corny lines are likely from Kirk and Lars.
>>
>>128018101
you literally see james come up with the "wash your back so you don't stab mine" lyric in the doc.
>>
KILL KILL KILL KILL KILL KILL KILL KILL KILL KILL KILL KILL KILL KILL KILL KILL KILL KILL KILL KILL KILL KILL KILL KILL KILL KILL KILL KILL KILL KILL KILL KILL
>>
>>128018111
Don't see the problem with that.

Because people hate change. St anger best fucking Metallica album ever
>>
>>128016253
you're asking why an album gets attention for having something loudly bad versus one that has something quietly absent

and besides–there are resonant bass frequencies present on the album even if it's not coming from newstead. Listen to the album on some good speakers–GOOD speakers–and not your airpods or whatever, it sounds great.

my pet theory about AJFA is that its dedicated to cliff burton
this is the first album after cliffs death, Lars and Hetfield have maintained over the years that they believe the bus driver was high and fell asleep at the wheel and the official story from the Swedish police is essentially a cover up
the cover, james and Lars sneaking back in last minute to cut the bass from the album. makes sense to me at least
>>
>>128016253
Because the songs on AJFA are GOATed and fun to listen to. Hell people even defended Death Magnetic because the Guitar Hero versions sounded amazing compared to the album versions.

St Anger is just absolute trash all around. Every song sounds exactly the same, there's no memorable hooks, no memorable parts, that fucking trash can snare that Lars still defends to this day, and no guitar solos because they thought the era of guitar solos was antiquated(there's words according to the documentary)
>>
Well just listen to st anger the snare fits. The production is warm and fuzzy and kind of doomy
>>
>>128018101
>I'd guess the corny lines are likely from Kirk and Lars.
No its clearly all on James here. James was trying to be Kurt Cobain, except he didn't the level of angst, pain and actual insightful lyrics Kurt could write.
>>
Give James credit for the fact that he was dealing with serious shit while writing the album
>>
>>128019741
I mean it sound good in theory he was drawing from a lot of what he was going through, like Cobain was. Problem is, James is not the best songwriter in the world, I mean Enter Sandman's lyrics are really bad when you dig into them.

Being deep and personal is not what Metallica is known for.
>>
But the sound is my personal favorite part. It’s not too different from bongzilla
>>
>>128016253
AJFA doesn't get a pass. When I was a teen, that album was underrated because people talked shit for not having bass. It's just such a power fucking album that over time, we realized it doesn't matter there is no bass because it fucking shreds.
>>
What about the fact that papa het is the only person who knows why st anger
>>
>>128016253
Is this a thumbnail for a video?
>>
>>128019637
that's true but wth is that image
>>
>>128019701
>St Anger is just absolute trash all around. Every song sounds exactly the same, there's no memorable hooks, no memorable parts, that fucking trash can snare that Lars still defends to this day
all lies detected
>>
>>128019686
>it sounds great
Listening on EQed planar headphones that can play deeper and cleaner bass than most loudspeaker setups, it really doesn't. Easily the worst sounding of their first five.
