Thanks A Lot, Lars
It is no secret that Metallica’s 2003 effort St. Anger wasn’t their best. In actual fact…it was one of many worst albums ever released by Metallica, known for mega platinum albums like Kill Em All, Ride The Lightning, and 1991’s iconic Metallica, better referred to as the Black Album. Compared, St. Anger’s heavy snare drums made the album almost not possible to enjoy, and to emphasize exactly how terrible the snare drums on that album were, some type soul on YouTube took it upon himself so as to add those very snare drums to the band’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 stop laughing – it is so bad! It’s so hilariously terrible when paired with the original ‘Master Of Puppets’, known for its big, nearly punishing sound. It nearly makes us wonder if St. Anger was secretly a unbelievable album, and we just missed out as a result of the snare drums were intolerable. The world may never know, however within the meantime, at the least there are other Metallica albums to go back to for comfort.
