Been listening to Metallica consistently for the past 3 days. All albums in their entirety. Still contemplating many things but a few observations for now...
1. The music is angrier and more aggressive from 2004 on.
2. Load, when listened to after every preceding album is pretty weird.
3. Lars's drumming in the early days sounds better. He uses his toms much more. His more recent drumming really focuses on interplay between the kick drum and snare. He does some pretty cool stuff with that but the lack of "flair" (ie killer metal fills) puts all the focus on the snare...which at times sounds bad.
4. Lars is a pretty "groovy" drummer. Listen to his kick drum. He'd be much better suited playing in a band like clutch.
5. Old Metallica songs are songs. The new stuff is a collection of riffs thrown together.
6. Reload is better thAn load
7.the black album is a great fucking album.
8. And justice for all contains the most expertly constructed strong structures.
9. Lars 's kick drum sound on justice through reload is booming. Listen to it on a good system with a subwoofer.
10. Lars gets so much shit for being a bad drummer...is the reason because he's merely a good drummer surrounded by far superior players?
