Songs are way too long plus, y'know, should've been Lars…

Someone told me it wasn't that bad but after being scarred for life thanks to the tin pan drums on st anger I'm in no rush to listen to it.

It's not bad at all if you skip each song after three minutes…

Yeah it's way too long. There are some cool songs, but as a whole I can't say that I'm enjoying it too much. Best song is obviously the "Ronnie Rising Medley", as Metallica is like the greatest cover band of all times haha.

Metallica has steadily gone downhill ever since Cliff Burton's passing.  Jason was still ok but Cliff was who made those original albums what they are.  Then Nirvana came along and changed music causing Kirk Hammett to essentially give up on writing a decent solo.  Ever since then their music has felt progressively more lazy.  They've really turned into a prog-metal band with no progression throughout the songs.  They used to have 5-6 riffs in one song.  Now they have 5-6 riffs in one album.

I know this is controversial, but I loved Lulu (not the Scottish singer). I'm a massive fan of Lou Reed, not so much Metallica. This album is a tough listen but so rewarding. Junior Dad is a classic. Here's James Hetfield claiming he is the table. Enjoy!

PS how do I remove?

More controversy, I feel it's time for Yoko Ono to be more appreciated. Here's a collaboration with Cat Power

Two of my favourites combined - John Cale covering Hallelujah by Leonard Cohen

Still hooked on this album, I think it was @riffblaster general 's post that put me onto it in fact.

The latest one is equally great too!

Will definitely check it out after this!

It's been a great year for doom. Here are my two favourite songs of the year:

Smiley face indeed! Opeth is without a doubt my favourite band. Deliverance is one of their best "live songs" as well imo. Thankfully I've been fortunate enough to see them a couple of times.

[PattyCakez]

Ah, that's amazing @Peter! I think Opeth may be mine as well… Deliverance was the first album I ever bought and is hands down my favourite album by them.

The first time I saw them live was at the Mayan in Los Angeles, but they were supporting their Heritage album at the time so it was an all acoustic set with no 'heavy' riffage and/or growling.

When I learned they were playing the special Deliverance / Damnation set at the SSE Wembley in London back in November, I knew i HAD to go. When they finally finished with Deliverance... I could die happy. If only they were able to perform 'Leper Affinity' it would have been a perfect concert for me... but cest la vie. I could go on about them, but I'll stop for now in case I get a bit too enthusiastic for my own good...

[Peter]

Awesome @PattyCakez! And it's ok, you can gush about Opeth all you want haha. My Arms Your Hearse is my favourite album by them. I even made up my own verse from all the songs on that album and inked it to my ribs..

[PattyCakez]

@Peter Haha that's a great tag to have..  If only we could get the dog tag machine back up and running….

I recently purchased Still Life and it's amazing. The Moore is such an intense track, it's gotta be one of my favourites now. Just because you went to the extent of tattooing your own created verses on your ribs based on My Arms Your Hearse, I had to buy the album. It shall be delivered to me today and I will give you my thoughts on it soon.
