Boring. Weenie Beenie was good. I appreciate the history. Not the vocals. Drums are good.
Hilariously campy. I think it performs masculinity to such an extreme that it comes off super gay. The only good thing about this album for me is that it’s so closeted gay, sometimes the drums are fun.
I’m going to be so sad and disappointed if this list is all mid white dad rock.
This album was way less about music than a strange performance of 1980s masculinity and strange patriotism after the counter culture. It feels gross.
It’s funny to me this is considered heavy metal. I just wanted him to shut up by the end of the album.
I’m sure there are other lyrical or musical feats that I’m missing—but overall it’s stupid
I looked up the history a bit and turns out the lead singer was gay and highly influenced by tom of Finland. Everything makes sense now. I appreciate the album better but I still hated listening to it
I actually liked the album. More dad rock, but that’s okay this time. I appreciated the lyrics that were criticism war and religion. It actually said something. I thought the songs were very long… and it did get repetitive and a bit boring hearing the same screaming male vocals. But, there was quite a bit of variety, really impressive instrumentation, I enjoyed the instrumental no vocals the most, and their slower ones with non screaming vocals. I can see how it was probably experimental and unique at the time.
Still felt overly theatrical and campy and too serious, but that’s the genre.
I would listen to more Metallica
First one I really really liked. I haven’t really listened to Dr Dre or old school hip hop before.
It was fun, experimental, imaginative. Genre bending.
However, it’s still rained by the obvious misogyny—even if it’s sexy or a joke—and the fact that he assaults people and women.
The music is fire though. Could definitely listen on repeat.
Loved it. Couldn’t help but dance. My cats also loved it
Didn’t think it was that good. Cheesy cliche lyrics, every song was gimmicky, and the discordant vocals sounded bad.
I fucking love her so much. This album was so good. Experimental. Animalistic. Emotional.
I’m upset that it took until day 9 today have a female artist. And of course she blows everything else that’s been on this list so far out of the water.
Confused by this album. Fun and hilarious at times. Innovative. Playful. Really sexually aggressive. I’m trying to figure out how to engage with very classically aggressive media made by young men at all, especially when it feels inspired mostly by sexist ideals and porn. However, it’s fucking funny. The different character voices were kind of distracting in a song, and not my taste, but it was funny and playful and experimental and that was the point. Felt soooo 90s. I’m glad that this is album was in the list because I probably would not have listened to it otherwise. Not sure how to rate this one because it’s completely subjective and I’m still confused by it
Fun, repetitive. Chill. Impressive.
I usually hate live albums but enjoyed this one. I especially liked their jams and melodies over their other more known catchy songs. It’s great for getting into a focused and meditative headspace. But, I was finding listening to is straight through on my drive to work, I wanted something with more stimulation. It was repetitive and got a little boring, but that’s why it would great music to get into a creative flow with.
I’m impressed with the very clean live recording. And I definitely preferred the melodies and jams over their catchier more well known songs.
