You faggots told me that this album sucks, but The Unnamed Feeling is the best song Metallica has ever written.
drums go boink boink boink uhuhuh
>>129483583>The song is about an unnamed feeling (which, according to James Hetfield, is anxiety)Hmm...
>>129483583No one even tries to pretend that this isn't good anymore, let alone pretend that it sucks
>>129483583FUCK IT ALL AND FUCKING NO REGRETSI HIT THE LIGHTS ON THESE DARK SETSPUT DOWN YOUR NOOSE I’LL HANG MYSELF ST ANGER ROUND MY NECK
>>129483583There are a few good tracks if you can get past the atrocious snare and guitar tones. I like Sweet Amber.Have they ever played them live in standard tuning? I bet most of the songs would sound a lot better.
>>129483684they did the whole album in-studio for the CD release and it sounds way better https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uvHE9kABE3k
>>129483767They also did a show playing Lulu with Lou Reed and it surprisingly sounded like an actual album instead of a joke.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FF2os5l2NogJust another example of Metallica sabotaging themselves in the studio despite being capable musicians.
>better than Reload>better than Risk>better than Diabolus in MusicaNot a great album but compares very favorably to the other experimental non thrash albums by legacy 80s thrash bands.
>>129483798>Just another example of Metallica sabotaging themselves in the studio despite being capable musicians.I don't understand them sometimes.Take this album run:>MasterOne of the best sounding 80s metal records production-wise>JusticeNo bass, terrible EQ on the the drums but at least the vocals and guitar tone are great>Black AlbumProbably the most polished metal record up until that timeAnd also this 4 album run:>ReloadUber polished>St. AngerCrappy drums mixed way too high taking over the entire song>Death MagneticMixed so hot you can hear the drums clip whenever Lard plays a fill>LuluSounds like two different artists, with different producers and engineers competing on each song.What a weird band they are sometimes. That's one of the reasons I still follow them though. Fascinating history.
>>129483883>Death MagneticI remember there was a Rock Band version (not sure if it was a game rip or DLC) that wasn't brickwalled and sounded a lot better. Apparently brickwalling it after they properly mixed it was Rick Rubin's only contribution.
>>129483898Yeah the Rock Band version is a thing. You can find it easily on Youtube. The Rock Band guys got all the stems separately so they could take out each instrument and the in game mix sounds a lot better. Alternative mixes also exist for St. Anger and Justice. I'm not aware of any alternative mixes for Lulu though. Or S&M which also sounds very shitty. Mostly James' vocals which were autotuned to Cher levels.
>>129483970The duality of men
WE THE PEOPLLLLLLLLEEEEEEEEE
Getting tired of saying it by now: every 'tallica alb is great for different reasons. That's why they're the greatest metal band.
>>129483583just because it's the best song they have ever written, doesn't mean it doesn't suck.
The best post-80s Metallica album, or at least the most interesting to behold. This one doesn't put me to sleep, plus Frantic's a genuinely good opener.
Remember kids: You live it or lie it! My lifestyle determines my deathstyle.
Lulu and St. Anger are masterpieces. Death Magnetic, Hardwired, etc, are worthless fanservice
Alone again on Friday night, huh OP? Go back to your goon session.
>>129487239Death Magnetic and disc 1 of Hardwired are alright.
>>129483970>Alternative mixes also exist for St. Anger and Justice.Were those guys who made those mixes also given the original stems?
>>129488225The St. Anger one is just the rehearsal tape that was released alongside the album. The snare is less prominent and James' singing is more polished.I'm not sure how the Justice remixes were made. Google claims the tracks from Guitar Hero were used along with digital tools to isolate the barely audible bass track from the final mix.
>>129487239Death Magnetic and Hardwired are alright.72 Seasons felt kinda stale although Inamorata is one of their best post 1980s songs. Great track.
>>129489181The way Guitar Hero works is they store all the individual instruments on separate tracks. That was why some songs had to be rerecorded since the original stems were lost. But basically fans just took those for the Death Magnetic songs and made better mixes.These days you can split stems for any random mp3 with mostly good results using AI-based tools (it's a different tech from LLMs). I think this is how a lot of people on youtube are doing remasters now and is how they get isolated drum or guitar tracks, etc.
>>129483583OoOoOoooo WHAT A GOOD BOY YOU ARE
>>129483609Really makes you think.
