the cover always looks to me like it was drawn by an angry Dr. Seuss

I have a soft spot for St. Anger - not that I've ever listened to more than a track or two, nor will I - but I love the Some Kind of Monster film.

Loved the dustbin drums.

I tried to go see Metallica in 1998, but the clusterfuck of a disaster trying to get into the ONE vehicle gate at the Winnebago County Fairgrounds meant we got in to the show when they were playing "One", a little more than 2/3rds into the show.

I saw them IN THE ROUND, Load-era. Don't remember much about the music but the stage set-up was fun. Everything fell apart, a guy ran across the stage on fire, and then they all played "Battery" with teeny amps under bare lightbulbs to prove how real they were.

i saw em in 1997 and 1999. they were far better the second time, with a much less predictable setlist.
St. Anger might just be the worst excrement metal's ever been subjected to

Saw 'em twice on the most recent tour. (Will be skipping the Big Four Yankee Stadium thing.) Liked the first show (Newark) better than the second (MSG). Each time they had one great opening act (Newark: The Sword, NYC: Lamb of God) and one lame opening act (Newark: Machine Head, NYC: Volbeat). I liked that they were playing full versions of ...And Justice For All songs, instead of the medley they did on the live box.
― that's not funny. (unperson), Friday, 6 May 2011 21:35 (thirteen years ago) link
the main reason I liked the 1999 show so much is that they played Blackened, which at the time, they hadn't played (regularly at least) in ten years.

over a year later, and I still like it. Just put it on to get myself psyched up for the DVD release of Some Kind of Monster. It's going to be one of those records that is recognized, ten years from now, for being far better than people gave it credit for upon release.― Overbite (Roger Fidelity), lunes 10 de enero de 2005 1:27 (twelve years ago) Bookmark Flag Post Permalink

Hahaha I kind of like the drums. Not the sound obviously they sound like shit. But how insane it is to release them like this, they were probably just exhausted and said fuck it.

they're right on the verge of so bad they're good, but they didn't quite get there

- "Legendary album. Panned by critics and fans when it was released, but has stood the tests of time to become known as one of their greatest."
- "No kidding. Makes you almost forget that Lou Reed was once in another band."
- "Lou Reed? What album are you talking about?"

yeah I haven’t dug deep into this album but it certainly isn’t bad. I’ve really 180d on load, too.
― brimstead, Friday, 5 May 2023 22:11 (one year ago) link
well maybe not 180 maybe more like 90-120
― brimstead, Friday, 5 May 2023 22:12 (one year ago) link
Now that they've made plenty of returns to thrash, I think we can all admit that they were really trying with the songwriting on Load and there are some monster hooks.
