[@mdurst2009]

Its not a bad album just bad by Metallica standards

[@noahodum9737]

The production was bad, it was missing that signature Metallica tone, Lars is the drummer, they had a studio bassist that was not NEARLY as good as Jason or Cliff, they were going through therapy together, they ran out of Dave Mustaine riffs, and the aggression just wasn't really there. The songs were heavy.. Hell throw one of those riffs through an EVH 5153 and set Bass at 6 mid at 5 and treb at 8, pres at 6 and gain at 5.5 and it sounds heavy as fuck. But you could tell that the aggression from earlier albums wasn't there. If it was released by any other band, my criticisms would have been the same. With the exception of the signature metallica tone and lars drumming part. Metallica carries weight in the industry for a reason. That album was terrible by their standards and should be judged by that standard because they are the ones who created it. No one cares if a local band wrote St. Anger. Hell we wouldn't even be talking about that album if they did.

I have sound-colour synesthesia and I interpret the key of C as having a deep red colour, so that deep red guitar was suuuuuuper satisfying Edit: WOW some people like to comment without doing any research. I know the official name is chromesthesia, I gave it the simpler name so that more people could understand what I meant. The general estimate for the amount of people who have synesthesia is around 4% - approx. 320 MILLION people - but some studies have estimated that it's more like 1 in 23 people. Not exactly some hyper-rare brain condition that everyone in the comment section "suddenly has". Also, one of the main components of synesthesia is different people interpreting the same thing in different ways, i.e. a musical note being green to one person, and purple to another. It doesn't have to be interpreted the same way by every synesthete to be real - in fact, it's one of the main things we fight over. I really fucking hope that clears some things up before even more of a shitstorm gets created.

4:02 WTF I never recalled Metallica ever using anything but E standard tuning!

[@austindavis4606]

YoyoEthan 11 yes, we’d all like to forget St Anger even though it gets better with age

[@mike5177]

They've used drop D and also standard D tuning.

[@i_am_a_music_maker5212]

YoyoEthan 11 even on master of puppets, the thing that should not be is in drop D

[@QaysSyed]

They've also recorded drop G# on Invisible Kid

Yee!

[@tacticalespoinagesam]

love how long this video is in comparison to the others, also some of my fave riffs are in here!! drop SËÊ is heavy as shit

[@NikNocturnal]

Yee buddy!

[@REXOZero]

The moment you realise that you love almost every song on this and there might be a reason why... DROP C all the way, baby

[@mikesmoviemadness24]

Drop C aka the official tuning of Metalcore.

[@witcherrr1466]

Yesssss the Bullet For My Valentine riff.. Thank youuuuu, The End is amazing

[@WheresSeamus]

No My Curse or Waking The Demon?

[@NikNocturnal]

Wanted to keep it to one song per band

[@noahodum9737]

Waking the demon is a banger as well as My Curse (They are always in my repertoire of warmup songs) but they aren't the heaviest of those 2 bands. I vote Numbered Days as heaviest KSE song and 4 words as BFMV's heaviest. But then again I thought everything after SAF was trash by them and they've always sounded like a watered down trivium IMO.

[@primedisappointment9741]

Honestly I loved drop C but in 2019 it sounds like classic rock

[@darkflame1337]

Thats sad

[@MLPaz]

Dark Flame I actually think it can be used for good. Bands like Mastodon use it for prog and it gives it a heavy sound without going down to Baritone tunings

[@simoneartini3302]

Band like Neurosis can make songs in E standard heavy as fuck.

[@NikNocturnal]

Oh damn

[@primedisappointment9741]

@@simoneartini3302 I agree some bands can pull it off. Like Hammer Smashed Face by Cannibal Corpse is in Eb and it's heavy as shit but most bands that use that tuning don't come close anymore considering that something as ridiculous as drop G is now considered a normal tuning.

[@grantbowers2319]

E standard next?
