Ok then imagine the music of a band you hate the most and understand that to them listening to Metallica is like you listening to the band you hate the most lol. This logic is same for musical genre too, some people react to metal music as how some people react to rap music. Yes, they equally feel like puking lol.
They both can coexist, outside of sharing one member and both being thrash metal they're very different bands.
I know...and their first five albums are killer.
Such a shame as Jason is an insane bass player; his Blackened riffs are mind-blowing, let alone the rest of the album. There's always been various stories and explanations as to why, but I'm not going to bother trying to sort through gossip tier stuff.
It's true, oh I remember the day I bought St Anger on CD, I'm a fan of more left field efforts like 'Endless Nameless' by The Wildhearts...or to a lesser extent 'Suicide pact, you first' by Therapy? like when a band goes mad for an album and tries to do something totally different...so I tried to make myself like it, I tried to tell myself it was avant-garde then it dawned on me it was legit terrible, then I saw that documentary with them, all man feelings and therapy and I was...okay I get it now.
It was definitely different, that's for sure. It has some issues even outside of the tone change, but I'm of the opinion that if St. Anger was released by a nu-metal band of the time it wouldn't have been so panned, I think the fact that Metallica released it was half the reason it got clowned on. Every song is like three minutes too long, but there's still some good stuff buried in it; The Unnamed Feeling I dare say is a good song. The vibes are there, just the execution kinda fell flat. That, and jesus christ take away the tin can from Lars.
