Rabs Posted November 29, 2022 Author Share Posted November 29, 2022 (edited) I would just like to add.. Meh!!! They should be called Popallica 😄 (edit or the more obvious Mehhtallica) Edited November 29, 2022 by Rabs 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sgt. Pepper Posted November 29, 2022 Share Posted November 29, 2022 (edited) James loves saying Hey and Yeah in every damn song. I'll take Puppets and the bass-less And Justice before that. Ride was good to. It all just sounds the same as the last whatever 'Tallica did. Its like Motorhead, if you got Ace Of Spades and you don't need anything else. Saw them on the Black Album Tour and Hardwired Tour and that was three times to many. The last time I saw them, I knew no songs after The Black Album except Fuel, cause I heard it on the radio a ton of times. Edited November 29, 2022 by Sgt.

I was also into the Black album at the time and saw them gig loads during that era but never listen to that anymore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't stand Kill Em All. Its too raw for me. I have the first 5 and then I checked out. The Black Album is meh for me. Edited November 29, 2022 by Sgt.

Pinch Posted November 29, 2022 Share Posted November 29, 2022 Oh dear. I can't believe they actually put that out. Much less how people keep supporting them to the point where they sell out stadiums. Why would you encourage something this bland? I'm sure they're still good live, but Jesus... The song pretty much couldn't be worse. They gone so far beyond meh, it's not even funny. YMMV, but then you should probably check your engine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sparquelito2 Posted November 30, 2022 Share Posted November 30, 2022 I have no real history with Metallica, truth be told. I am familiar with some of their albums and songs over the years, I guess from exposure to youTube and some FM radio. But I have never been a storied, die-hard fan of any sort. This song, and the frantic, slick video though; I like it. I find nothing meh or repulsive about it. But that's just me. I'm nobody in the grand scheme of Metallica bashing.🤔 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If ‘Tallica fans will buy St. Anger, they will swallow anything they put out and want more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pinch Posted November 30, 2022 Share Posted November 30, 2022 I guess I'm old school - I like more than a single note for the vocal melody in the chorus. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm old school to and liked 'Tallica when they made good music. Now its like any new Tool album, its the same album over and over. A few more hey's and a few more yeah's. How am I supposed to pronounce the second word in the title. How do you pronounce a A smashed together with an E? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

saturn Posted December 1, 2022 Share Posted December 1, 2022 The guy on the radio today was talking about how many people were *****ing about the drums. Mainly the kick drum. I don't get all the controversy. Sounds like typical Metallica to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I'm not gonna listen to it again 😉 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pinch Posted December 1, 2022 Share Posted December 1, 2022 To lighten the mood, I'll add that back when Lars could be bothered to practice, even though he was in no way a great drummer, he still had his own style that I liked. Basically, he played to Hetfield's guitar, which is an unusual setup, but I liked it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wasn't that in the Documentary where they all cried, acted like a bunch of 5 year olds, and hired a Head Shrinker to analyze them? Then we would be saved from this garb.

But this new song was even blander than the anything on the last album, which in itself set a new record for blandness. To my ears, it was remarkably meh.
