What are you listening to?

It's not a perfect album, but the production is good, the writing and musicianship is tight, there are no real stinkers on it, and the high points (All Nightmare Long, The Day That Never Comes, Broken Beat and Scarred) are brilliant. It was the album that said that they were through their awkward middle phase and ready to start making awesome music again.

It was fine. Not top 5 for me.

BTW, I'm listening to And Justice For Jason... now as I do mindless data entry and reminding myself just how freaking good that album is and could have been.

That's fair. My barb is aimed at people who dismiss Metallica post Justice without listening to it.

[CatoTheElder]

You can't hear the bass on Justice and one third of the audibly remaining musicians is Lars Ulrich.

I don't like Lars but he's not a bad drummer.

Trying to learn One on bass was a terrible experience, though.

[MBGreen]

Hell yes, great song. Dudes just churn out phenomenal riffs at will.


Bro, I love Kill 'Em All!
The fact that i personally rank it 5 out of their first 5 shows how awesome I think they are. It's a great metal album, no damn doubt.

Dude...you really need to make it to a tailgate next season. You'd fit in so well.

I found it on Spotify, will give it a listen.

Along those lines, Death Magnetic (great album) was brickwalled when originally mixed and sounds like excrement.  Someone found out that the version on guitar hero (I think) was a different mastering and wasn't brickwalled. They stripped it off there and it sounds a lot better.  I saved in on my computer in case I could never find it again.  It's probably out there in the bowels of the internets.  Edit: I think they fixed it most places now, nevermind

I'll do my best. Tried for this year, but life and circumstances.
It hasn't happened for me yet but I never forget it, every year, and I'm always jealous haha. Hopefully I can show up for the 2023 SB campaign.

There's a remastering you can find on Youtube called And Justice For Jason..... which has the bass elevated in the mix to where it perhaps should have been. It's definitely worth listening to.

Edit: here you go.

Holeee excrement, where has that been my whole life?

Anyone else listen to Turnstile and feel like the lead singer was just generated by an algorithm?

I read the hype and I try to understand it but I don't. They seem like a band I should be into - I'm generally quite into shouty punk adjacent music with decent production values - but they just don't do it for me.

I get an uncanny valley response from them, like the music is not actually coming from people.

[Derek Smalls]

Definitely on team Ride the Lightning over Justice, though One is the best song on either album.
