And Justice For All is the best pure metal album ever.
Not really
Maiden's Powerslave kicks Justice ass, IMO.
And Justice For All is the best pure metal album ever.
Listened to Master Of Puppets last night after ages. Man, what a fucking fantastic album! Definitely my favorite of theirs. They were truly amazing in the 80s!
Sales figures and critical reviews were actually available to those people who were 'aware' in 1997, you know? we can go to AMG or Rolling Stone and see that they revised their review.
AND, of course you didn't address a single question I posed, which I suppose speaks for itself don't you think? Go back and try again with real world thoughts and hindsight and outside of what your anecdotal "midnite sale" thought. I have anecdotal evidence that says otherwise. Not that is was fucking Sgt Peppers, but that it was at the very least adenturous.
Let's try again (copy and paste):
What exactly were they apeing when they tried to steer the album towards more rock and roll towards the end of those sessions? What bandwagon jump was that? Was that a great ploy to sell millions?
What does the sonic dressing on Zooropa and Passengers owe to and why don't those albums receive the same charge of bandwagoning? Is it because the band hasn't given the apologists permission to do so?
It is absolutely a myth and nothing more.
More pointedly, it's merely an excuse.
I continue to defend an album that I consider average at best because we have automatons on this board that recite the same crap over and over......sorry
That's wonderful. Despite all that steering, there's not a single rock and roll track on Pop. Hell, U2 have only recorded a handful of rock and roll songs over their entire career.
I don't mean to go off topic and stray away from the U2 discussion but... when exactly is the Metallica album expected, does anyone know?
theoretically, Sep 08
Uberbeaver is still a douche.
pretty bad business move indeed, but a business move nonethelessA business move?
Pretty bad business.
Listing facts doesn't mean the hypothesis you're attempting to buttress them with is valid.
I still don't understand how POP was a bandwagon jump when they had gone even further into electronic music on Passengers. All they did was just blend those experiments with their own style. Pop is more of a hybrid, if anything, and it's certainly NOTHING like The Chem Bros., Prodigy, Underworld. Just cuz the band was listening to that stuff doesn't mean they were aping it.
Or have you not actually heard all the stuff you're talking about?
perhaps I'm confused but I don't believe I ever accused U2 of jumping on any bandwagon
I only got involved in this thread because you stated that POP was released WAY BEFORE Prodigy and Chemical Brothers released their breakthrough albums, which in fact was something like 1 and 4 months
Is this a U2 thread or a Metallica thread?
*pause*
Please don't answer with "U2".
Hammett's solos are back? Well, that's good. I'm still only cautiously optimistic.
