Pretty hard to argue with that, at least in metal circles.

For me Rush's Hold Your Fire was a bit of a personal letdown. I was really into Tool before Lateralus came out, but I just couldn't get into that one for some reason.

Load totally turned me away from Metallica.

My biggest disappointement ever is when larry lalonde left possessed for Primus. You know, that sucked big time

Pardon?!?!?!

7th son of a 7th is the pinnacle of Iron Maiden's career. It is their best album. Go to www.metal-archives.com, on this site, people are extremely harsh with albums a little bad, and hell this album got a average score of 97%.

I respectfully disagree... it may have been produced during the pinnacle of their career, but they had made their three absolute best albums long before 7th Son came out. In no particular order:
  • Number of the Beast
  • Piece of Mind
  • Powerslave

7th Son is good in its own right, but it doesn't hold a candle to those three albums. Ever wonder why their current tour looks like THIS?



The diehard fans know what era of Iron Maiden rocked the hardest and looked the coolest. And yeah, they'll play some stuff from 7th Son. But read up on what they're doing for the theatrics and stage design.

metallica fans who hated and continue saying they hate St. Anger, are not TRUE metallica fans.

Powerslave/Piece of Mind...nothing's better.

Seventh Son was amazing, but it's still hyped from the Powerslave era.

Anyway, it's all good...

except for NPFTD & Virtual XI.

IMO anyone who will blindly support a group releasing subpar music are not TRUE music fans. But if you honestly like something like a St. Anger and aren't just saying it to be loyal to the band, than I can't argue that.

BTW I consider myself a true Metallica fan and I don't like St. Anger. I always look forward to a new Metallica release.

Beat me to it. Honestly how can anyone blindly devote themselves to a band. If you like anything Metallica releases just because they released it (and not because it's music you like): You're not a Metallica fan, you're a moron.

That is not a stab at anyone who likes St. Anger, if you like it, more power to you, but if the only reason you like it is because it's a Metallica album... not cool. I still think all those who say, "I love Metallica but everything after Justice sucked" are still true Metallica fans.

This album was also well hated by my peers


But I kind of liked it (don't tell). The beginning of Disco
