Spotify Playlist

Kind of randomly listened to "Damage Inc." after years of dismissing it, and I ended up including it on my ballot for that intro alone.

just catching up now.

wow, those really are phenomenal graphics. truly, a work of art.

interesting to see Lightning blowing everything else out of the water. it's always been my sentimental favourite, but i tend to meet more Puppets worshipers.

eclectic results so far! the opening riff on Eye of the Beholder slays me every time, slow crescendo and all. Damage, Inc. is such a rush. maybe their heaviest song, pound for pound.

that live version of Damage Inc. is beastly

It's one of those -you-had-to-be-there things, but one of my best segues back in college radio days was going from "Eiffel Tower High" by Hüsker Dü into "Damage Inc." - starting the latter about 40 seconds before the former had ended.

Been scouring around for a copy of " ...And Justice for Jason," and so far ... no dice. It's on youtube, in pieces, and there is supposedly a version with his isolated Guitar Hero tracks mixed in, but it's been pretty well scrubbed from at least the first few layers of the internet.

while we're celebrating Metallica, i was thinking about their more complicated/proggy tracks and how, even more than most metal bands, the writing seems really natural and unforced. maybe it's just because when i committed them to memory in middle school i didn't know how to break it down, but i never think about the time signatures when i listen to them. i'm pretty sure they don't either. they're just composed of little cells of riffage that can be expanded, contracted, rearranged, etc.

Do they have stuff not in 4/4 or 3/4?

this is essentially the failure of death magnetic imo, songs that try to simulate their first four records but come off forced and unnatural

"sanitarium"'s time signature is all over the damn place.

Black album was when I first listened to Metallica. All the scary guys at the local swimming pool wore Justice or Puppets tank tops so I just assumed from that that I wouldnt like them

Thing I remember most about Enter Sandman was how awesome it sounded to me that very first time, and then later how disappointed I was by the video

"A fucking TRUCK? ... How is that scary?"

Do they have stuff not in 4/4 or 3/4?

it's not like they'll play in 5 or in 7 for a whole verse, but on AJFA they're constantly taking a 4/4 riff and adding or taking away beats. 'Blackened' is crazy.

My step-brother got me to listen to Master of Puppets on our summer vacation to Florida. It was one of those first times where I got excited because here was something new that I was definitely going to enjoy.

Though that trek out of "Orion" and into that whale song intro of Damage Inc. could lull you to sleep before turning on you and making you go

Tell you what, that is one hilarious gif.

haha so otm

I discovered that I liked Puppets when one of the guys in my art class put it on the cassette player (art class is where dorky me learned about anything that wasnt played on the radio)

i remember hearing Orion in that class and being like O_O

I wonder if the reason we only got 18 ballots was because ILX skews young now and no one remembers /V|etallic|-\ when they were relevant?

idk if it's exactly that, though different age groups might have different levels of engagement

my metallica fandom was definitely extended by my 70 year old piano teacher suddenly becoming a big fan of s&m

gonna leave that sentence as is

lol

Hey, the italics show up on my browser.

xxxxxxxxposts holy shit pp i want to stitch that shark-jumping timeline together and share it with the world

constantly jumping the shark, like some 400m hurdle race of shark-jumping

staying true to their roots man

Been scouring around for a copy of " ...And Justice for Jason," and so far ... no dice.

"Of Wolf and Man" was my #1, fuck everybody

Puppets was my number 1 album, though I was torn between that and Lightning so pleased with the winner.

EotB is my only track so far. Someone said upthread that they think it's a weird choice for a single, but I don't think so at all! The 'do you x what I x' hook is so catchy!

But the incredibly tricksy tempo/groove shift between the verses and the chorus might be a bit much for the radio, granted.

Been revisiting (or re-revisiting, if you will) the Justice songs since we started running this poll. It was the first new Metallica record I ever bought, and honestly, the whole thing just ran together. There was the do you do what I do song, the one that started off like the wizard of oz, "one", etc. Funny how a few years later, one of my favorite bands would be Pavement, and I don't know half of their song titles either.

Ha, roger. Feel free to stitch away. The only reason I cut up that timeline was to make it fit ILX formatting. Otherwise, it would've looked like one big skinny thumbnail.

I see Europe is well into its day already. Is lunchtime in the States ok for the next batch, or would earlier or later better accommodate everyone?

Could watch that all day long.

Relistening Puppets, I only now realised how much Battery is the blueprint for the Justice album.

But I can hear bass in "Battery"?

;-)

Q: What's the difference between me watching and posting these, and my dad losing his shit laughing so hard because Lou Piniella stuck Icy Hot in someone's jock?

A: There is no difference.

Clip's pretty good, but I'm just posting this one for the screengrab.

I'd go ahead and start, but since Metallica's from the Bay Area, may as well let them get to work first.

Though they start Monday Night Football in the middle of the damn day, they're probably used to it.

I'D HATE FOR METALLICA TO MISS OUT ON NOS. 20-11 TODAY.

WAKE UP LARS

It's like there's nothing else on youtube but dudes showing up Kirk Hammett.

What if we did these polls as a podcast? How fucking annoying would that be?

"OK, ILX - I Love Music - it's, um, the Metallica poll, so yeah. Um. Thanks for your votes. Um. Here's an 11-minute song from Death Magnetic. Who knew it would chart so high, right?"

All right.

Nice how we got things started with the intro riff to Sandman? Day 2, let's flip the poll over and see what's next.
