Used to get deep into CoK, actually me and my friends would sometimes have mammoth sessions of the Call of Cthulhu RPG with it playing on repeat in the background.

Nowadays I find it a bit overlong and clunky in parts. The build-up is still classic though.

i regret not voting for Some Kind of Monster as some kind of peak, it has brought so much joy to my life.

Wow, was 'Kirk's Birthday' cut from the film? So good!

"If some fucker would tell me when I'm supposed to wear a fucking Hawaiian shirt".

"I'm permanently ambushed by this fucking shit with these shirts"

stfu, lars.

I love Bob's "But it's the day after Christmas!"

Call of Ktulu an awesome track. Great extra step of an ending too.

I keep forgetting to repost the Spotify link.

one of the perks of running a poll is seeing how things shake out ahead of time and seeing cool coincidences like this:

Favorite part of that last video is James just sighing, turning to the back and going "Searrrrccchhhignnnn..." one more time.

Very surprised at this showing. I also know who exactly to blame for this.

it just occurred to me, did anyone vote for this

Funny you should mention it.

Same dude who voted SBT #1 threw that one in there as well.

Was never the same after I learned it wasn't "Sand Patrol". It wasn't among the trio of black albums songs that slid off of my ballot (Of Wolf and Man, which placed above, probably should have been). A hell of a song though, undermined by being way overplayed during its heyday. Is there a black album single that wasn't overplayed though?

This was the overwhelming winner of metallica metallica poll poll

Seek & Destroy would have been my #1

Man, I just don't get SBT.

I snickered at Of Wolf & Man like the needlessly stuck-up Metallicaficinado that I consider myself to be, but even that "Off to the pool deck eyyyyye go... " has a catchy gallop to it.

This one though --- that's it, I'm calling it. Sorry, but it's my least favorite song on this countdown.

i like it, mostly just the riff though i realized the other day it really does PLOD

13. "Harvester of Sorrow" • …And Justice For All, 1988
184 points | 9 votes

Studio Version
Reunion with Jason, 2011
Harvester of Skelter, Beatallica

lol revealing myself as untrue here but i was introduced to metallica mostly through that first apocalyptica record, and the riff for "harvester of sorrow" was basically simultaneously the meanest and prettiest thing i'd ever heard played on a cello

I remember being kind of intrigued / scared by Metallica due to the mulleted guy with the METAL UP YOUR ASS muscle-t in my study hall circa 1987. But somehow I ended up with a cassette of RTL a year later - I have no idea where it came from - and I used to listen to that or the Doors Greatest Hits tapes on my yellow walkman when I mowed my grandmother's lawn.

Still would have voted for Puppets over Lightning, no question. My favorite record from any band often ends up being the one I heard first, this is one of the rare exceptions.

For some reason whenever I heard Escape, I always had a made-up video in my head of James driving shirtless through a desert full of cacti singing at top volume and driving a shitty brown 70s van with one of those diamond shaped windows in the side.

Very surprised at this showing. I also know who exactly to blame for this.
