If you for some reason were curious about those albums which I didn't include on video: Lulu - 3.869.480 streams Garage Inc. (including the B-Side) - 910.612.447 streams All stats were taken from Spotify.
St. Anger is so fucking underrated. If they would do it with normal snare not with a metal bucket, it would be some if the beste metal albums in history.
one of the best metal albums in history? yet it loses to any old megadeth album, any pantera album, most avenged sevenfold albums, ALL dream theater albums even the astonishing, and ABSOLUTELY any periphery album in quality
The entire disc 1 (except halo on fire) + spit out the bone got more than 50m+ streams, with hardwired having 150m+ and moth into flame with almost 110m
@NM-xi8or I mean they’re not exactly perfect but load in particular is better than death magnetic at the very least in my opinion. Definitely not gonna go and compare them to the black album or master of puppets
@NM-xi8or bro I honestly think if you take the best songs from load and reload and just make them into one album it’d be one of the greats, as I said obviously not on par with the thrash stuff, but honestly on par with the black album for me though tbf I don’t exactly love the black album
@NM-xi8or I mean fair enough it's your opinion, but I just personally think there are some underrated songs on load. (tbf the black album is definitely overrated and they've fallen off since the 90s)
In those days no one expected anything good from Metallica, after leaving so many years since they made St Anger, that's why it went unnoticed by many, apart from those were the EMO times, many didn't listen to heavy metal in those days
The three albums that I really like are bottom 3... Sad. St. Anger is an underrated raw gem of an album, it just feels raw and angry, adding to the atmosphere of the album. Wish people understood St. Anger a lot more. 72 Seasons, sure is new, but has pretty awesome songs, like Crown of Barbed Wire, and Room Of Mirrors to name a few. It feels like the album has incorporated the sound of every Metallica album. And Load… It’s just so damn underrated! Load’s songs hit like a truck straight to the heart, Bleeding Me, Mama Said, Hero Of The Day, these songs make me cry, especially Mama Said. Whilst Ain’t My Bitch, 2x4, and Wasting My Hate has uplifting lyrics. The bottom three are just very, very underrated albums. Metallics is not just a Thrash Metal Band, it’s a joyride, full of emotions, and lyrics that you can relate to. I just wish more people knew that, instead of hating Metallica after The Black Album, and how they became sellouts. They are not sellouts people, they never felt like sellouts to me. Taylor Swift is a sellout, Justin Bieber is a sellout. Not Metallica. Such raw, emotional music requires heart, soul, and passion put into it, unlike many modern artists today, who are just in it for the money and fame.
Am I the only one who liked St.Anger, I don't know, like the snare really fit the terms METAL, and its add something to the album that made him special, overhated and underrated album
It's for sure their weakest album. Which is saying something. St Anger and Unknown Feeling I'd say is the only songs on that album that fit with the theme that were good imo, frantic too but man, I can't listen to frantic unless I really want too. It's just one of those songs. The rest forgotten about. Don't even rate them. I know I'm not the only one, maybe at an extreme push some liked invisible kid.
Reload will always be my fav. Love all except anger, but reload is the most poetic and carefully plotted of them all, Load has some amazing gems as well with Bleed and Outlaw and Sleeps, but I do love the two new albums as well. Best band of all time. Absolute geniuses and legends
Death Magnetic is honestly one of the peak Metallica material, people are just put of by the mix. Listen to Mexico 2009 or Quebec Magnetic and you will Understand how good this shit is
I'm with you, bro. One of the few albums I can listen to straight through. I know it loses points for the lack of an audible bass line, but I still love it. "One" made me want to play drums.
How is it possible that Kill Em All is below Hardwired!? Whiplash, Jump in the Fire, Four Horsemen, Seek & Destroy, Hit the Lights. Hit after hit song, yet only Hardwired song I even remember the name of without googling is the title track 🤣
Idgaf. Load, Reload, st anger are all GREAT albums. People who don’t like those projects just want to keep Metallica in a box and not wanting to let them venture out and be more versatile in their sound
Lol crazy that ajfa is not their number 1-3. It's so obviously better than lightning imo, regardless of the production. I think it sounds incredible even if it's unconventional.
I've never seen so much collective Load and ReLoad glazing, I'm still sure 90% of the hardcore Metallica fanbase hates them (with good reason) but it's curious seeing a few people thinking they're underrated
I know, it says most streamed ranking. Okay let me reword it to satisfy your palette. No way I believe people actually with intent streamed Death Magnet and Hardwired more than Load. And if it was a best album ranking (which its not) that would be more of opinion than anything which is cool. Ride the Lightning is my favorite of theirs with the black album a close second.
Well, i can understand the whole rank, but let’s not running away from the fact that 72 seasons is the most important album of all time!, in mentally and emotionally way, and you can’t argue with that, I think that Metallica was releasing that album on April 14th last year, was the ultimate perfect gift, because everyone was suffering in noticeable or not, and we as humans were needed that impact that knocked us down and start to look our life on different vision, for all our life we are so “flat” on our mindset because we are never looking on the deep thing or the deep situation that we’re in, I’m seeing that people have so much complaining on nothing, like: “the solos were bad so we don’t like that album”, or “this person is ugly and fat, so we are not following him” it so makes me so sad because how us as humans are not appreciate small thing in our life, and we are not understand that small things that we’re missing is sometimes gives us this life shifting like Lyrics or personality or a dark true story about our life, i know that us as a community we all stuck on social media and chasing after things that isn’t necessary for us just for fame and followers, and yes i’m a Gen Z that been out from social media for years, because i was a monster when i was in that, my parents were kicked me out from the house, my good friends were left me and i was deserving it because i was that monster because of social media because of chasing something that not gives me some positive feelings, and yes i’m in rehab almost a year and the the greatest thing that happened to me forever now, my life got a shift 3 years ago when i was disconnected from social media, but i didn’t know how to communicate, how to speak your emotions, because i was so angry for no reason and now that i’m in mental rehab and listening to 72 Seasons, my life is improved, my communication with my parents is been better for the last year, my friends is now so close to me now, i can now express more of feelings and yeah, I’m feel blessed, and if you ask me i think we need to give 62 Seasons a Huge standing ovation, because this album is a life saving if you like it or not
72 seasons is literally the embodiment of what metallica has become : a greedy lazy band that has completely forgotten the roots of where they came from
