Mithrandir Posted November 14, 2019 Share Posted November 14, 2019 I've never been a Metallica fan. I bought Master of Puppets in 1986 and was very disappointed. I just couldn't get into it. And in 2016 I listened to the whole album on youtube to see if I'd feel differently about it now and see if I'd been missing out, but it sounded just the same, like a bad punk album. I buried that Music For Nation vinyl copy in the pond in the field not far away in 1986 and in 2016 I had no urge to go out and dig it up again! Let Metallica stay buried.That is THE greatest "speed/thrash/whatever" heavy metal album of all time. No, MOP is the GREATEST METAL ALBUM OF ALL TIME, not just thrash. This doesn't include all the great proto-metal and 70's hard rock when'heavy metal' was a term loosely thrown around and undefined before NWOBHM helped cement the genre.I still don't like it.Not surprising considering you think Opeth is great :) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steevo Posted November 15, 2019 Share Posted November 15, 2019 None of ém. Better Metallica poll imo would've been: - Damage, Inc.- Dyer's Eve- Battery Or - Orion- To live is to Die- Call of Ktulu Just how I see them now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm an opinionated old f**k Entre, deal with it :nya nya: 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nova Carmina Posted November 15, 2019 Share Posted November 15, 2019 I don't know from thrash/speed/heavy/retro-slop/etc, but know in my bones that Master of Puppets kicks ass in every mode imaginable. World-historical great album. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is nothing punk about that album.There's something crap about it though, from top to bottom, IT f***ing SUCKS! Well, sucking and punk rock go hand in hand together so I can see why you think it sounded like that. Maybe you haven't heard the right kind of punk. How about some Propagandhi. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CqWsreZl_dw&list=PLcZMZxR9uxC98izRhq-RDindXuU4WhjBB&index=7&ab_channel=EpitaphRecords That song had a more metal style riff than a punk one. Still, it's an ordinary, unspectacular song like most of the genre. The only punk band I ever liked is The Offspring. They're punk but at least they have a standout sound. PUP is another Canadian punk band worth checking out. They’re a breath of fresh air compared to those Radio Disney posers in Fallout Boy and EDM faux rock bands like Maroon and Imagine Dragons. I feel about FOB the way Elvis Costello feels about Morrissey. Great song titles, bad songs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
