Thanks A Lot, Lars
It is no secret that Metallica’s 2003 effort St. Anger wasn’t their greatest. In truth…it was one of the worst albums ever released by the band, known for mega platinum albums like Kill Em All, Ride The Lightning, and 1991’s iconic Metallica, better often known as the Black Album. In comparison, St. Anger’s heavy snare drums made the album nearly impossible to enjoy, and to emphasise exactly how terrible the snare drums on that album were, some kind soul on YouTube took it upon himself so as to add those very snare drums to Metallica’s ‘Master Of Puppets’.
Fun Fact: St. Anger was a departure for the band with its raw production style, most notably the much-discussed snare sound. It additionally marked a turbulent period for the band; Hetfield’s rehab stint and Newsted’s exit.
Guys, we can’t cease laughing – it is so bad! It’s so hilariously terrible when paired with the original ‘Master Of Puppets’, known for its big, almost punishing sound. It almost makes us wonder if St. Anger was secretly a fantastic album, and we just missed out as a result of the snare drums were intolerable. The world might never know, however within the meantime, at least there are other Metallica albums to go back to for comfort.
