I think the riffs on St. Anger are allright - the problem is that they are being stretched out over like 70 minutes on the album or 6-8 Minuts per song. If each song (maybe except a few) was around 3-4 minutes the album could have been dope, you know, like Divine Intervention by Slayer.^^

[@paulpv7]

More than 75 minutes 😂

[@BigMuff75]

@@paulpv7 Even worse. :D I could never listen to the album in one sitting.

[@Gatchi]

@@BigMuff75 that's how I feel about all of Metallica's albums since Load to be honest, increasingly so with the more recent stuff. It's like the more music they write, the harder it is to sit through it all. After thoroughly enjoying Megadeth's new record front to back and on repeat for a few days, I forced myself to listen to 72 Seasons in its entirety during a long drive... And emphasis on "force," as it really was a struggle to not take a break and go back to it. And I really can't place my finger on exactly what it is, because this is coming from someone who also loves Sleep's "Dopesmoker" and has jammed to that in a single sitting too and been hype the whole time. Idk what it is about Metallica, but I just lose my interest with them so fast after a bit of listening to anything that came out after the black album, even though plenty of some of my favorite of the bands' songs do come from those albums, (like Ain't My Bitch is a fucking JAM!)

[@kawakamihitoshi]

snare is unbearable

[@beirch]

Exactly. And the biggest problem with St. Anger isn't even the main riffs; it's the verses. The verses on every single song on that album are just drudgingly boring. Almost without fail you get hyped by the intro and the main riff, and then the verse comes in and all of the momentum is lost.

[@liquidv2305]

[@dookester.manoftruth7773]

This was the correct "VS." video to make. Both albums are a fairly hard listen in a complete playthrough. Both are still "Heavy" in unique ways, but are lacking in areas of which fans have come to love each band for. I'll take 'Super Collider' with an edge, over 'St.Anger' having some decent-to-good solos.

[@user-whiteper]

Not going to lie, there are some bangers on these albums. St. Anger and the Unnamed Feeling by Metallica; Super Collider and Forget to Remember by Megadeth. Super Collider always has me singing the chorus haha.

[@jordiumethar4963]

Tremendous friend!!! The truth is that I like them both.......St. Anger has some really killer riffs, they are really incredible....but then something fails together!!!!. Megadeth are without a doubt (Dave Mustaine) for me one of the great composers of the genre!!!.

[@dookester.manoftruth7773]

​@@runescapewarrior66 'Risk' is different than a "Heavy" overall style, but it's better quality that 'Super Collider', and probably could be compared to 'Reload'. Both Reload & Risk were pretty significantly different sounding than all previous albums, being completely commercialized. 'Risk' at least sounded mostly consistent with other Megadeth albums, being that it still had lyrics that related to everyday personal topics & *solos.* 'Risk' & 'Super Collider' both have a couple bad songs, but are an easier listen/ playthrough than the insufferable full length of St. Anger which only has a couple decent/solid songs.

[@Evil-Never-Dies]

Always loved these two albums. I get the st. anger hate resulted from raw recordings and *the* snare sound, but never understood the hate of super collider

[@johnknight9150]

I get frustrated with St. Anger as a release, because when Metallica play those songs now, re-worked, there are some pretty cool songs to be had. It should be up to management to say, "We can't release this as is, take a couple of months and go fix it", and it should be up to a producer to know when something isn't working yet.

[@ivankovachev8835]

Because until 5-6 years ago, if a thrash metal band released a non-thrash album, people got mad. Super Collider is an awesome album. St.Anger if you replace SKoM with the shorter version and fix the drums is excellent as well.

[@Edyime]

For St Anger it's not just the sound, it's the length of the songs that makes it a boring listen. I think Supercollider's hate comes from the cringe lyrics.

[@Warmianin_z_Mazur]

True. It's always funny to me how people debate why this album failed. "The riffs are allright, just too long"."There's no solos" "the snare sucks". And I'm just like: The album is so unbelievably bad that you can't even decide on why. And some maniacs still defend it, even though that it really shouldn't be an argument why it sucks, but a list.

The Super Collider riffs are a lot better and more unique but there’s really bad vocals on the album. I think the problem with St. Anger is they just did the whole drop tune 0-3-5 sequence that has been super overused. It sounds good but for a super long and poorly produced album it gets old

Really cool video, as always! The riffs here sound much better than on the actual albums lol. I always tend to ignore public opinion and give every album an honest chance, but I still ended up despising St. Anger. Pure physical and mental anguish trying to get through that one - it wasn't just the snare, there was nothing I enjoyed about it. My bottom Megadeth album is kinda tied between Super Collider and The World Needs a Hero, but I think I would pick Collider. I always thought Risk is a smudge overhated - some of it is pretty boring, some of it's pretty bad, but I really enjoy other tracks like Insomnia, Wanderlust and I'll Be There. Especially Wanderlust's intro sounds awesome.

[@perrymason9942]

I don't care what others say. I really, really like Super Collider. It isn't "radio rock", or "simple metal." You can't even call it exactly commercial, because Dave's voice, the guitar flourishes and tone keep it much more in the realm of aficionados than mainstream accessibility. Yes, Dave was trying to balance the music in a more accessible, "Countdown" style direction, because of the new contract with UMG. But I don't think he really succeeded in that. The metal was too strong in him. And for those that still don't like the album, Kingmaker is a stone cold classic and better than many songs on MD's classic albums. And then several others are just excellent metal songs.
