temu is really sketchy. they are filled with scams
Piss off load is great always was and I'm your generation speaking st anger is my least favorite and lulu is shit load is great and reload is okay
Dude that Swaggy look you created for the Temu ad was hilarious!
Temu L
Finn, you should probably stop promoting Temu. I’m going to assume you are unaware of the controversy surrounding them. Do yourself some due diligence, watch the video Mutahar did on them 2 months ago. It would be wise not to use them as a sponsor anymore.
If there is a megadeth deep dive, I will name my first son after Finn.
This comment is legally binding
i second this
Bro, I hate to break it to you.... this kinda IS a Mega death deep dive.
@@Highlander2475a whopping .5% of Metallica’s songs have Dave’s cowriting.
Here’s my deep dive of Megadeth
…
Only good years were with Marty Friedman and their best albums (third being several ranks above fourth and the rest) being Youthanasia, Rust in Peace, and Countdown to Extinction in that order.
1. Because the band found glorious anthemic songwriting and Mustaine’s BEST lyrics. Family Tree is truly unlike any other song out there.
2. Obviously, not #1 because Youthanasia has grown on me so much
3. One leg in each of the album before and after, rather extensive and progressive or catchy and pop influenced.
The rest is 90%+ of the time really try-hard thrash (which has time and place but C tier - which is S tier right? -, wonkily experimental, or so overdriven by elementary school level of political symbolism that, yeah, if you like it good for you, but even as a political empathizer, I find it drab, and extremely difficult to “Name That Riff” to a given song title.
Friedman truly made the band immortal, incorporating shredder elements that no other band has done in a more catchy way, really backing off when it needs to while still thrashing in the cage. Really adds so much atmosphere when he has to as well. Probably the best of any shredder from the 80s.
And that’s what you get for saying or heavily implying “Metallica’s discography is technically Megadeth’s.” While I have about the same number of songs (a few albums worth) I like from both groups, at least the songwriting of Metallica is so good that I can name the majority of their discography. Megadeth… eh, you either remember a silly idea “Sleepwalker” or the faint memory of a cool riff (hard to name something you ultimately can’t remember).
😂😂😂😂
Metallica was never the heaviest thrash band, but I think we can agree they were among the better songwriters of the entire genre.
Well thats the whole point innit???
Because of Cliff.
@@i_want_my_shuggah Cliff was never their main songwriter.
Ride the Lightning has some impressive songwriting for a group of 20 year olds
They ain’t thrash and ain’t been for decades .
"St Anger" was my introduction to Metallica. My uncle heard me listening to it and immediately switched it off, saying that he couldn't let me listen to "Shit Metallica". We went over to his and he put on "Ride the lightning". He was absolutely right to do so.
I loved St Anger. 2nd best album after the one with all the White Crosses
@@FredrickDouglass69 Don't get me wrong. I still have a soft spot for "St Anger". The lead single is normally one of the first things I download to any new phone but the earlier Metallica stuff I was introduced to that day is better.
I like RtL but I wish James voice was more like master of puppets era. Its crazy how much his voice matured from kill em all to lightning but theres still little bit of that kid energy in his voice which im not a massive fan of. In my alternate dream world we would have all those albums with early 90's Hetfield haha maybe with AI in the future.
I probably sound like I'm just splitting hairs here but obviously both kea and rtl are absolute classics and great albums
@@FredrickDouglass69 😄Good one! I get the joke!
Thank god for uncles with taste. All my favorite shit came from older family members. Without them, I'd still be listening to Back Street Boys and Nelson.
A lot of old "thrash metal" fans will dislike Load/Reload, but both albums have songs that are legitimately beloved by almost the entire fanbase. Fuel and The Memory Remains for example have been staples of their setlist for 25 years straight. I still enjoy both those albums a lot.
Fuel is total biker redneck bar rock and I still like it lol. Hated it at first, but over the years I’ve grown to appreciate it for what it is
@@luke5100 Metallica is my favourite band of all time (though I rarely listen to them anymore) and Reload was released just around the peak of my love for them so I loved it straight out of the gate, but yeah, it's a bit of a dumb song. Still a banger though.
As a big grunge and alt rock/metal fan I really like Load and Reload.
Load is in my top 5 Metallica albums. I love it. King Nothing is one of their best songs.
Load and ReLoad have some really good songs, but too much filler on both which makes them not amazing overall
We need A7X ranked next
I think it will go very similar to what we just witnessed.
Yes!
@@woofspider330 I’m sure he would have ranked it between death magnetic and hardwired. All those three albums are vaguely the same level of mid/ just good
Whole discography is great, probably because it’s all so different
Everything after Waking the Fallen is dogshit
Finn: I don't think Load is that different from The Black Album
Also Finn: Load is objectively bad
Finn again: The Black Album is the best metal album ever
The most amazing thing about Metallica is that they are the biggest Metal band of all time despite the fact that they essentially coast off the momentum of their first decade of output.
Their first 5 albums - 4 monumental Thrash classics and one uber-popular Stadium-Metal album.
That 5 album run proves to be enduringly and universally popular.
They have their fair share of haters but no other Metal band seems to captivate non-Metal fans as much as Metallica does. People can argue that Sabbath, Priest and Maiden are superior bands overall but Metallica have a different audience to those bands. They're the one Metal band that even casual Rock fans somehow get behind and appreciate.
As someone who has dived deep into many lesser known Thrash bands - I still don't think anything quite matches the greatness of Metallica at their peak.
It just goes to show - legendary status doesn't come from how long you hold your peak - but how high that peak is. They had a phenomenal decade and have put out some pretty good stuff since - but let's face it - it's that first decade that will go down as their immortal legacy.
You're 100% correct. Makes me think of GnR that really only made one great album and can still do massive tours.
Whenever I tell people Metallica is one of my favorite bands, I always have to preface that I specifically mean their 80s stuff. Ride the Lightning and Master of Puppets are two of my absolute favorite albums ever and I think their absolute masterpieces, but I haven’t regularly had Metallica in my rotation in like at least a decade.
To me, their entire legacy is their first five albums, and death magnetic because of nostalgia reasons. That’s the first record that got me into heavy metal music.
They've done great things for the Genre
Most bands can’t make one good album and they made 5 classics. I also really enjoy everything since Death Magnetic so I like 8 Metallica albums not 5.
@@xwhite2020GnR made 3 masterpieces, come on.
As someone who loves Metallica way too much and has been following you for years, i have to say you're killing me with this one, Finn! Your takes and the chat comments are hilarious but i'm secretly dying inside 🤣 I love it, man
The Lars "drum tutorial beat" comment got me 🤣
Watched this entire video to hear his take on the newest albums and he left it out. Once he said Master of Puppets I was like “oh shit, he thinks 72 Seasons is better than this?!?!” 😅😂
I was thinking this exact same thing. I wonder if he recorded this before that album came out? And only released it now
Oh so he didn't mention 72 seasons? I thought i was trippin and somehow missed it
I didn't care for any of the last 2 albums. I gave them a good college try, they didn't do it for me. They are average at best. I'd rather listen to St. Anger. Serious.
@@jimmym3352music is subjective and opinions are like assholes everyone has one. Everything from death magnetic till now blows away st anger but like I said music is subjective.
72 Seasons is my go to album for my long runs. Good energy, no ballads, and I can simply press play and go.
Load & ReLoad are often hated on, and while I do believe that they both have filler tracks, you gotta admit that the production/mixing is excellent on both albums. I do think there are great songs in each, like Bleeding Me, The Outlaw Torn, The Fixxxer, Hero of the Day, Unforgiven II, King Nothing, Where The Wild Things Are... If they chose to just make one album with just these songs together, it would've probably been a lot better.
I have a playlist of the best Load and Reload tracks in the order I think they should’ve been released in as one album, certified classic if they did that
I totally agree with all of this. Load was definitely the stronger of the two, but if you swapped 3 or 4 of the weaker songs for 3 or 4 of the best ReLoad tracks it would be a great album. And it's definitely my favorite mix/production as far as their albums go. I think mid-90s rock production in general was great. The black album is my favorite Metallica album, but Bleeding Me might be my favorite Metallica song
Just combine the best songs off load and reload then the rest could be like how death magnetic had the beyond magnetic, then the left overs could be like a bonus reload, load is the good, reload are the weaker songs
There’s some decent songs in there. 80s metal bands were really trying to find themselves at that time. They coulda been incredible if they went the Pantera route and did groove metal, I think.
@@matthewgallant3622 To some it may be a stretch, but I genuinely think The House That Jack Built was influenced partly by Pantera. From the pure groove of the instrumental to a lot of the details with the vocals. Obviously he isn't screaming, but I do think this song is reminds me of stuff like This Love when it comed to the mood.
Dude, you accepted a Temu sponsor?...
For a constant virtue signaler I was very surprised. Isn’t temu shamelessly some sweatshop operation?
What can I say? Get that bag Finn?! Even if it's a video sponsor ad read for a Chinese slave labor created products re-sale site. I understand in the end money is money, but if I could choose, I wouldn't buy my fiancee a blood diamond ring. That's me though. What's more surprising is that your wife doesn't mind you promoting Temu? Will your next video be sponsored by Rio Tinto, BP or Pfizer? Poppa needs a new pair of Vans!
Load and Reload are legit great albums. Great song writing, great hooks.
100%
And many b-sides material filler that unnecessarily weigh it down.
@@Soldano999yeah they could have been shorter
Bleeding Me is top tier Metallica
I first saw Metallica June 1988, and this was their setlist.
The Ecstasy of Gold
(Ennio Morricone cover)
Creeping Death
For Whom the Bell Tolls
Welcome Home (Sanitarium)
Harvester of Sorrow
Whiplash
Fade to Black
Seek & Destroy
Master of Puppets
Encore:
Last Caress
(Misfits cover)
Am I Evil?
(Diamond Head cover)
Battery
When they were good.
One of my favorite things about St. Anger is the remix video where he just says "Fran-tic-tic-tic-tic', but never says tock. Genuinely better than the entirety of that album.
Context is key. Kill Em All came out in ‘83. You don’t get a lot of that other stuff in the late 80’s without it and Ride The Lightning. Theres a reason that and Master of Puppets are consistently ranked in the top 10 metal albums of all time.
Meh, I dunno about this. You had Slayer's debut a few months later and Motorhead and Venom's influence was already spreading far and wide. I'm not sure many thrash bands were solely influenced by Metallica.
Next up: The AC/DC discography. The video will be 7 hours long just to rank every album as "it's not bad if I'm sitting in a dive bar or working on my Harley."
😂
There's Back in Black and then there's the rest. The end.
....... no 72 Seasons?! I assume this was recorded before April of last year?
As for your ranking I am actually surprised you don't like St Anger considering how raw sounding/ hardcore vibe it is. I love that album as I do love all their studio albums 🤘
They don't have a bad album to me, some are different than others but all rock in their own way!
Ive said for YEEEEARS, and stand by it...pound for pound, "...and justice for all" is their best offering. Every song is heavy, epic, and flows into the next. The mix was garbage, but the hook on "harvester of sorrow" to a small town deep south metalhead was unearthly! I traded a Motorhead tape for it. Check out the "...and justice for Jason" version
I recognize the mix is probably objectively bad but I kind of like it. It has that very 80s thrash typewriter-sounding kick drum and tinny-but-heavy guitars. It’s definitely of its time
Since Finn is an admitted big 311 fan, I would be really interested in his ranking.
I actually got into Metallica because I bought Reload when I'm came out in middle school. Then went backwards so I have a big appreciation for that era of Metallica. Having said that, Ride and Master are absolutely my two favorite albums from them.
I was the same except I bought load first, then went backwards.
Load was actually my first “metal” (let alone Metallica) album, so I’ll always have a soft spot for it. I was 17 when I bought it in early 2000, and while it took a couple listens for me to get into it, I eventually grew to love it.
I remember being really surprised when I later found out about the enormous backlash the album got upon release. Which I agree was pretty unfair in hindsight (and very of-its-time - I don’t think an album like Load would be as controversial/hated if it were released today), but it’s also probably a “you have to have been there to really understand it” thing.
Fortunately, hatred for the album definitely seems to have died down. And those who dislike it now seem to dislike it more for the quality of the music itself than for superficial/unrelated factors like the band’s haircuts or change in music stylings.
Sorry for the long comment!
He forgot about 72 seasons. To be fair, so did everyone else.
Temu uses uhygur concentration camp labor
Forgot 72 Seasons. Probably mid tier though. I have yet to actually make it through that entire album because it’s pretty meh in my opinion.
Metallica are not the heaviest band out there, but you’ll have to find a really strong argument against their songwriting, because I believe they are THE best songwriters in metal, at least for their first 5 albums. Unlike a lot of the other metal bands of their era, they showed a clear evolution in sound, musicianship, and ambition from Kill ‘Em’ All all the way up to …and Justice for all. Seeing them go from a pretty foundational yet standard hardcore/trash band to making 10-minute long borderline prog songs is astounding, however this wouldn’t be without their songwriting and of course Cliff Burton, who introduced the band to a lot of musical theory. You can shit on this band all you want, but there is no denying that they left an indelible impact on not just metal, but music. And to piss off all you Megadeth fans, I think Metallica kicks the shit out of Megadeth in the songwriting department.
NOOOO TEMU GOT ANOTHER ONE 😢😢
I am shocked! Shocked! Well, not that shocked.
The amount of friends that use it is crazy, I've warned them and tried to get them to actual do some research on it but they are like......ohhhhh look cheap
Thank you for including the Garage days ep! That was where I got in to them…it’s my sister’s only Metallica album she likes😂😂😂
It really should be treated as an album, any Thrasher back in the day had to have this tape😂
As a long term Metallica fan (AJFA FTW for me!) I feel like they became the “U2 of metal” after the black album - load/reload - Grunge, St Anger - Nu metal, etc
Fuel may be divorced dad core but I can't help but love it
"Lifelong metalhead listens tp metallica for the first time"
Oh hell yeah, brother! Starting right off with the Ja Rule collab! Right into I AM THE TABLE! Gold 😂
When I was in 7th/8th grade in 2003-2004, everybody made fun of me for liking Metallica. At some point in my life I figured out they are absolutely massive and are apparently loved by many. Maybe they were lying or maybe it was the St. Anger effect. Idk but AJFA will forever be one of my favorite albums of all time, regardless of sound.
Anyone I talk to will say AJFA, even though Master is sort of the most artistically complete album if you get my meaning. Personally, always AJFA. It opened the door to more progressive music which I will always be thankful for!
AJFA is, in football (soccer) referenses, Thomas Müller. Everyone thinks it's great, but it's still sort of classified as "underrated".
I came into Metallica when they were still making thrash albums. I think a lot of this has to do with how popular they were. Even when they were a thrash band, they were the top thrash band, and there was a lot of jealousy and resentment. Then after they changed, people had a sense of betrayal. I didn't care for their stuff from Load on. Just not my taste. But I don't undertstand why people get so mean about what music people like. If you like Metallica, great. If you like Megadeth, great. If you like Testament, great. It is all music
@@Bedrockbrendanmetal is full of close minded gatekeepers and popular is bad. People hate on Metallica and its members because it's "cool" and trendy to hate on them within the metal community. I don't think they sold out with load music wise it was the look that turned people off. The hair was trying to break away from the typical 80s hair band look but the make up stuff was a bad idea. This is James giving up control and letting kirk and Lars decide more stuff and it didn't work out lol.
Death magnetic is awesome...everything they've done after imo. Metallica was never 100% thrash even in the early days after like kill em all. Idk why people shit on them for not being 100% thrash when they stopped that in 1983 lol...I also love Alice in chains and stuff like that so the load stuff was cool for me. I don't care about them being 100% thrash because imo they never were anyways and I like alot of other styles of music too.
When I was in 6th grade a girl made fun of me for liking RATM because it wasn't on the 'So Fresh' top 40 compilations. She was shocked when I told her that they'd won Grammies and were bigger than anything she listened to. I was an annoying kid though.
There's a video on youtube of AJFA but with more present bass. It's called and justice for jason i believe.
In an interview Anthrax guitarist described their approach to bass. Turn the volume down until you barely hear it and then turn it down again by half.
Learning that Anthrax agrees with you on something musical must be like learning that you have one niche political stance in common with Hitler. Like, yikes, better re-evaluate that one...
@@ChrisStoneinator Justice for dan lilker!
Shocked that there was no reference to Metallica's lone country song off Load - Mama Said
"Music that painters listen to while painting their house" is so accurate, I listened to kill em all during one of my art exams 😭😭😭
Death Magnetic is so underrated. The songwriting actually sounds like they put effort in (tsk tsk 72S), and even though the mix can be literally painful, isn’t metal supposed to be rough around the edges?
That album has some bangers on it. That was just your life as a concert intro is probably there best
That album came out while I was in middle school and was my first real exposure to Metallica and heavy metal. I absolutely adore that album since it got me down to rabbit hole of older Metallica and more metal music I never would’ve found if not for that album.
Putting my nostalgia aside, sadly I think by the time that album came out many people had already given up on metallica and they were just a legacy by that point
All Nightmare Long is one of my faves.
My Apocalypse is brilliant. A great way to end that album.
I just recently listened to the …And Justice for Jason album and it was so nice to hear Jason Newstead’s genius on the bass. My biggest issue with Metallica is how they treated Jason and And Justice for All is a perfect example of how far they’d take it. If Metallica has been consistent in anything it’s having very talented bass players
And justice for all has always been one of my top choices . Just the rawness and the tightness. Black album had such great production
If you're not a fan of the cardboard sound of this album, There's a video out there called and justice for jason where the bass has been raised. It sounds awesome.
I'm stoked for this, Coach Finn! All I know is "Fight Fire with Fire" was my favorite Metallica song, but that could change after this. Curious how you rank albums. I think Metallica, Master of Puppets, Ride the Lightning are the only albums I listened to fully, but I can't say I'm a fan....because I gotta go and no time for love, Dr. Jones, except for your insight...when I have time....is like. a fuse. short. and. burning. fast! Meaning! I could say I'm a fan since you did say Metallica is everybody's favorite band, but now the moment has past, and just don't want to keep living in the past, and my past is your present if you're reading this comment now...sorry for the late Christmas gift!
Have a great day getting down with the fitness, Team. Ooo-ah-ah-ah!
I like all of their "bad" albums and The Unnamed Feeling is one of their best songs.
Fite me.
Not a fan of St Anger, but The Unnamed Feeling is an absolute classic banger. Fantastic track.
Bro you can't even spell fight 😂
@@nemesis8626 First day on the internet?
For real. I'm not a Metallica fan, but I listened through St. Anger to see what was actually going on, and the main riff of The Unnamed Feeling is so simple but feels so good. I recorded St. Anger with shorter songs and better production. The Unnamed Feeling still bangs, but so does the rest of the album now. St. [b]Anger available on my channel now. XD
I actually consider St. Anger a return to their thrash roots. I'm one of the few who like it. I was just glad they got heavy again even if the sound quality was shiite. I really hated them putting out songs like "I disappear" which is just cringe, I was glad they went away from the sell out route with St. Anger. But they definitely made some mistakes.
Has anyone ever bought anything from Temu that was not broken or did not work? My wife made three separate purchases, and all three of them were either broken damaged or did not work.
love this video! maybe you can do this for stuff like pantera or sepultura as well!
Yep i did one for pantera!
@@FinnMckentyPRMBAoh cool thanks!
Another amazing video as always.
27:20 literally as soon as I saw the corner of the video before it was played, I immediately knew what it was. That video is a certified hood classic
“Give burger fries and soda on the side”
"Gimme juice, side of fries and a burger from "Five Guys!"
I think Ride the Lightning is a bit easier to listen through no skip than Master of Puppets but the best songs on Master are slightly better Ride. …And Justice for All has that tone and Lar’s best drumming. Three way tie for me
I mostly agree and see what james was going for with the guitar tone but the album sounds really bad imo and a lot of people especially today feel that way. Andy K (sp?) and others have done good remixes on UA-cam. I cant listen, it sounds so empty. A good live mix is better
I actually feel the opposite way about Lightning and Puppets
@@connormaloney2180 I understand there is always variation in opinion. For me, I skip Battery, Sanitarium, Orion, and Damage. I knew this sounds like an odd mix but they don’t do it for me. I never slip Escape on Ride because I actually like the song.

I guess I'm too normie... I like 90s Metallica. Nostalgic memories of dad playing the Black Album on cassette while grilling on the weekends, all the time spent in the car hearing the singles from Load and ReLoad on "the Eagle! Playing nothing butt rock!"
I don't think you're a normie, some people just can't branch off out from their older music. Load and Reload are great hard rock albums, I think it's more normal to say you dislike them, more cliche.
You didn't include their newest album, witch is actually quite good.
I think when talking about Metallica, I take into account that they have always evolved, never been afraid to take the risk, and I can respect that. Yes, what they came out with isn't going to be a fit for any one audience, and that's the big challenge with them.
Plus, you have to remember, they are a live band, and the quality of their live performances are good enough to carry them through whatever album they put out because they make their entire fan base happy with their live set.
Yea i noticed that see well. I even checked when this video was made. I wonder why?
Its because their newish one is absolutely shit
@@allanallan4791it's not their best, but definitely better than St. Anger for example.
The beauty of Metallica is the album rankings are defined by the era you got into them... Personally, I got into them around the time of the MI-II soundrack, and enjoyed St anger. After that was able to go back and got to discover the early years which I also love.
Interesting observation on Finn’s rankings of when he got into Metallica. I’m 54 and my top ranking order is the first four albums as they came out. I definitely agree with Finn’s bottom four rankings. 🤟🏻🎸
I think the first five albums are top tier, having said that, it was Load that got me into the band. I was 12 when that came out and I saw the music video for Until it Sleeps on MTV when it came out. So that album and era will always hold a special place in my heart. I love those albums. Load and reload, S&M, Garage Inc. I Disappear. Even some songs on St Anger are killer live.
I like this video, you should do these more often😊😊
Actually, the Fuel song was my introductory song into Metallica, but when I discovered their older material, it definitely blew their buttrock stuff out of the water.
AJFA is my favorite . The guitar tone and the overall mix (appart from the lack of bass) fits perfectly the era and the album IMO.
i think the mix on justice suits the subject matter of the album perfectly
My oldest brother had the “one” vhs of the music video. We watched it all the time as my mom cried watching all her sons become metal heads.
2:37 Remember… you’re s 45 year old scene kid.
Actually a solid list. Metallica was the gateway for so many into “heavy music”. Their success speaks for itself. Fond memories learning from my Kill ‘em All guitar tab book. Listening to Ride the Lightning on my walkman. Finding the Garage revisisted CD at a pawn shop thinking I found a rare gem.
Unironically love St. Anger, used to listen to it front to back playing Gears of War 1 on the 360
Exactly. It’s my 2nd favourite album of theirs. These boomers need to GTFO
Check out the version of the album I uploaded to my channel. Re-recorded the whole album but shortened the songs and updated the production. Album slaps cuz the riffs are dope.
@mshea_audio ST. [B]ANGER! LMAOOO love it
@@artoridagon3847 Well I ain't lying, it is a banger. XD
Ive never seen Finn jam to a song this happy. Thank you.
Good series , made me click and watch the whole thing😊
I always loved Metallica since I was in middle school. For some reason St. Anger is the record I keep going back to the most. And I even love the snare sound
Rare shit u got there
When I saw Lightning and Puppets ranked where they were I was thinking you were going to rank 72 Seasons above them, but that album wasn't covered here, was curious of your take on it.
I literally forgot it exists lol
@@FinnMckentyPRMBA Understandable!😅
Holy cow, I’ve been listening to Death Magnetic since its release (and it’s my favourite from their 2000s albums) but your description of the front cover cannot be unseen now. 😱
What did you think it was ?
@@Soldano999 always saw it as an image of a coffin being buried surrounded by a magnetic field (particles). Apparently the album started as a tribute to music stars who have passed like Layne Staley. Hetfield also explained in an interview: “Thinking about death…just like a magnet, some people are drawn towards it, [and] other people are afraid of it and push away.”
I absolutely love the attitude that “I’m too cool and waaaay too heavy for Metallica” because it’s such a high school way of saying that you are soooo incredibly awesome and even to Metallica fans, it impresses the hell out of them too, since you see cooler than their favorite band. Gotta love the HS psychology.
Picked up Puppets in middle school in 86' and have been on the Metallica train ever since. IMO there are no bad albums. While Load/ReLoad are not my favorites, I can still honestly say they are solid albums with some really great songs...that's why many of the tracks are in their live sets. You can shit on St Anger's (people love to shit on it don't they) snare sound all you like but it's a pingy snare, So Fucking What...there are still some bangers on there. The first 5 albums are perfection and put out in less than 10 years...that is unheard of but they still have put out some great material the last 30 years whether you are man enough to admit it or not. It's called evolution, that's why they stand on top. I love Megadeth but some of their albums are hard to tell apart..Slayer just kept making the same album over and over again...Anthrax on the other hand grew and evolved as well (but they're another band people like to shit on). LuLu is not a Metallica album and how the fuck are you going to leave out a fantastic album in 72 Seasons? 38 year's ago Metallica said “Following our instinct, not a trend, Go against the grain until the end”...they kept their word and we love them for it.
This. They've always done what they wanted, when they wanted and how they wanted. Didn't care what the fans or label or anyone else thought. That's the opposite of selling out which is why I find it odd so many people say they "sold out". Just because they tried different styles and were very popular doesn't mean automatically they sold out lol. Alot of people say that just because others do aka the blind sheep syndrome I call it.
If you took the best songs from Load and Reload - It would honestly be a great album. King nothing and Until it sleeps are one of my fav Metallica songs ever.
That's actually two songs genius. I'm guessing from the number of grammatical errors you made in a single sentence that you're a product of the public school system. I'd wager you probably didn't do very well either.
@@travellinmike4333 I appreciate your input. English is my third language.
Thank you for pointing out Damage Inc.! It's one of my favorites from them and I always felt it's underrated.
When you were talking about the kids witn the metallica shirts it brought me back. I was the same way
You didn’t rank 72 Seasons
Finn why did you leave 72 Seasons?
The Temu sponsorship is alarming considering that company's track record
1:20 your a dialogue is amazing. 😂
these guys sounds insane live, their soundguy must make a shit ton of money
I’ve always enjoyed them live until I saw them at Allegent Stadium a few years back. Not sure if it was the crowd or venue size but it felt dead
@@UnhumanNewman yeah it happens sometimes. I've seen them live maybe a dozen times, last year at Download they sucked. They were doing this European tour where they played 2 sets over a weekend for absolutely no reason
oh shit. I must have seen the good ones then..never seeing them again to not fuck that up@@UnhumanNewman
St Anger is now seen as better now because it's the first Metallica album that lots of people that are now in their 30s heard
There are people who can look back with nostalgia goggles, but I'd only heard St. Anger a few times on TV when I was a kid. Listening to the album as an adult with no nostalgia, I can hear what they were going for, but they just did a horrible job. The ideas are pretty good, but everything else is mid or bad. That's why I made some changes, re-recorded the album, and put it up on my channel. I saw what it could have been if it was done well. :P
Please do Korn sometime. Would love to hear your opinions
...And Justice uses such an extreme v-scoop EQ. That's why I love it.
You know what? In all my years of being a huge Metallica fan when I was a Metal noob in 6th grade and the Black Album being the first album I bought. I was not even fully aware that it was THE notorious “black album” because I wasn’t aware that it was actually just a self titled album and everyone called it the black album after the fact. And though I haven’t really been into them for the better part of the last 15-20 years I certainly listened to the entirety of their discography enough times for a lifetime. I fell off after Death Magnetic because I finally grew up after High School lol. But point being, in ALL THIS TIME!!! I never noticed the Black Album really is a FLAWLESSLY MIXED album! Bob Rock for as much of a goober as he is and how meh everything after it was… earned his paycheck with that album alone.
Why do people think you have to "grow up" or "move on" from Metallica as if you cant enjoy their shit past a certain age which imo is ridiculous. I saw them in st louis in November and it was packed and such a badass show I seen people from children to 75 years old and everyone in between and everyone was loving it. It's trendy to hate on Metallica or demean people for like Metallica as if they're somehow "metal noobs" because they like Metallica. They're so popular that the metal gate keepers 0 in on them and their fans. This is just my .02 being a 40 year old guy who first got into them in 1991 with the black album when I was 8.
@@midnight347 facts, no matter how much people cope no metal album comes close to Puppets and Justice, they're the kings for a reason
UNPOPULAR OPINION: Death Magnetic is the best Metallica album
And Justice For All is def my fav Metallica. I’m glad you put them above Master and Ride the Lightning. I don’t understand why they never went back and remastered it and turned the bass up though.
Did Finn include the new album?
Do In Flames next
💪💪💪
As a 15 year old kid who first discovered Metallica by chance at my local record store in 1984, the only albums I listen to are the first three. Cliff and Dave were the reasons this band WAS good
Yes
Wrong. But I'm sure you're used to that. Being wrong.
@@danielhudson5186 Clever 🙄
i had a ride the lightning shirt in like 10th grade and we were in class once and the power went out and that’s when i realized the back image (the guy in the electric chair) glowed in the dark. pretty rad imo
The way you credit german thrash ♥
Ride the Lightning has the most of their top quality songs IMO. They hit higher highs on Justice and the Black Album but Ride the Lightning is so consistently good top to bottom, makes it my favorite from them for sure
could you make a ranking of slayer’s discography please? really curious to see your opinion on it
Thank u for The Accused reference! One of my favorite bands. Saw them in Everett Wa few yrs back
Dude. I was a painter and I probably listened to Kill Em All while painting your house one time!
St. Anger is Metallica’s best album, and I’ll defend that to my grave.
💯
congratulations on having objectively trash taste
@@_Mike.85 thank you.
You're wrong lol but at least you stand by your opinion. Respect for that
Father of all... is the best Green Day album, definitely
St. Anger is easily and unironically the best album relased by any band between 1995 and 2005
They then made the best album of the following 10 years, Lulu
@@Vivi_9 That's your opinion and it's hard to argue otherwise, but there's probably 2-3 albums I'd put above Lulu.
Nope
HAHAHAHAHAHAHA
California by Mr. Bungle (which was released in 1999) beats Load & Reload, St. Anger, and all the mediocre thrash together. Don't type stupidities.

Finn , the same producer that mastered the black album also did dr feelgood, same powerhouse and as far as sound I place it above black album. Also, props for and justice for all and the ranking it got, I was also in 6th grade when it dropped and i was addicted to it’s tinny sound ❤
Love the commentary!!!😂
TEMU sucks ass. Bad idea bro.
Excellent ranking. My favorite is ... And Justice for All, though I only listen to the ... And Justice for Jason, where the bass can be heard.
Considering youve stated many times how you never owned a Metallica album or really listened to them, this video was your secret weapon
Your funniest video yet! I mean satirical TEMU ad followed by an algorithm trigger >
Good vid Finn. Agree.. as a Metallica fan. Heard black album too many times but still listen to Justice all the time. The frayed ends of sanity, my number 1 song. Justice lyrics are very good. Live they are great to watch. Fun🤘
Dude yes! Frayed ends of sanity is their best song!!
Wondering what is your opinion on 72 Seasons?
You really need to do an entire episode wearing that temu outfit
And Justice for All was always my favorite. The guitar tone was so brutal and slicing no matter the quality. When i started playing guitar that tone and Dimebag's were what I wanted the most
