Metal Thread 2: In Metal There Is No Law

[Impaled Nazarene]

I've noticed melodic death metal comes normally from one of two main sources: British heavy metal or European power metal. I personally prefer melodic death metal inspired by power metal

Just In Case You Missed It!: Kar's 2015 Muhtallica Binge Review

Kill 'Em All: 7.5
Ride the Lightning: 8
Master of Puppets: 9
...And Justice for All: 8.5
Metallica (The Black Album): 9
Load: 5
Reload: 7.5
St. Anger: 1
Death Magnetic: 8.5

So a recap: Metallica (The Black Album) > Master of Puppets > Death Magnetic > ...And Justice for All > Ride the Lightning > Kill 'Em All > Reload > Load > St. Anger

I was going to do this after I finished the initial, independent reviews, but kept forgetting and putting it off.

*sigh*

Kill 'Em All: 9.25/1
Ride the Lightning: 10/10
Master of Puppets: 10/10
...And Justice for All: 9/10
Metallica: 6/10
Load: 5/10
Reload: 4.75/10
St. Anger: 1.5/10
Death Magnetic: 7/10
Lulu: 0.5/10

Lulu doesn't count, it's a collaboration.

Also, you're wrong about all of those except Load. Load is accurate. We agree on Load. You gave St. Anger a far too high rating though.

[Impaled Nazarene]

let me save the next 20 pages for you. Kar is right, kar is always right about everything. Don't argue, Kar is always correct and his opinions are fact

[Euronymous]

Except victim blaming IS pretty questionable.

Euronymous isn't an innocent victim. He instigated violence, it ended badly for him. Tough shit.

I am personally offended by this statement.

I think an average rating for Load and Reload is very generous.

[Cadonica]

It looks like Impy is very gangsta. Also he likes to blame victims, always a lovely character trait to have.

"Victim" isn't some wonderful magic word that frees the person from all responsibility. Whether someone is or isn't victim's fault is completely situational. And even if it's not victim's fault, it doesn't mean he/she cannot be criticized.

Meanwhile, I just got the newest album of Turmion Kätilöt. Kicks some major ass so far, currently at 3rd song. I also got Airdash's last album (Both Ends of the Path, 1991) on vinyl, but I'm listening to that a lot later.

[Kar-Esseria]

No, I don't believe I'm always right, I'm just passionate about my opinions.

Now Hurd on the other hand accurately fits this description.

Euronymous isn't an innocent victim. He instigated violence, it ended badly for him. Tough shit.

I am personally offended by this statement.

Hjalmarr?

Regardless, Hurd is wrong as usual. Euro isn't a victim. He started a fight and lost his life because of it. When you're picking a fight with a dude who has no problem setting fire to churches then you have to predict that there is a possibility that dudes gonna kill you. It was a failed act of attempted murder, so he's not a victim and Nazarene wasn't victim blaming.

Bottom line is Euro made a poor decision, fucked up, and got killed. The end. I only wish he'd taken Varg with him, it's not like he'd be missed too much. He'd be less missed than Hitler.

Load is an average album, tbh. Reload is far better though, I don't get why people think it's as bad, or worse, than Load. It's really not. It's a pretty solid album. Maybe not for Metallica it isn't, but it's pretty good regardless.

Good songs on Load: The House Jack Built, Until It Sleeps (one of my favorite Metallica songs actually), King Nothing, Bleeding Me (another favorite)
Good songs on Reload: The Memory Remains, Where the Wild Things Are

I should actually change those ratings now that I think about it...

[Cadonica]

Diskovibrator (newest Turmion Kätilöt album) started out awesome but after 6th song it kinda stalled.

Fixxer (two x's or three?) is also a good track, but there's not a lot I'd listen to on Reload other than that and the tracks you listed. I actually haven't listened to Load in its entirety, so I can't judge.

Thanks for reminding me of the other good song off Reload, it has 3 x's.

Part of me wonders what that song would sound like in a different genre. The lyrics are some of my favorite by Hetfield, it's a shame that the album sucked as a whole.

I still think Until It Sleeps is one of my 10 favorite Metallica songs. Very well structured and lyrically torturous.

Until It Sleeps is one of my favorite songs, as well. Dyer's Eve from And Justice For All is probably my number one, however.

I'd have to say Fade To Black.

Best song (with vocals) on Ride the Lightning.

Yes, I think Call of Ktulu is better. Hell, let me do this:

TOP TEN METALLICA SONGS
10. Until It Sleeps
9. Fade to Black
8. Welcome Home (Sanitarium)
7. Call of Ktulu
6. Dyers Eve
5. Master of Puppets
4. Seek and Destroy
3. Orion
2. One
1. Battery

Could someone make a gif of this please?

Been done already

It was a fourth result when googling "doom dance gif"

Euronymous is my puppet, I was kidding. I don't like Euro or Varg at all, fear not.

Good. No one should like Euro or Varg. They don't deserve to be liked.
