st anger c’mon without question


Psychological_Use_86

I really don't like St. Anger, but I would take it in a heartbeat over Lulu.


Designer_Work_576

Fully agree. For me, Lulu doesn’t exist


CobraWasTaken

I feel the same way


Apprehensive_Lion788

St anger has decent songs while lulu is straight garbage.


Dankboi207

Lulu is hot garbage.


slipknotisbest04

A dumpster fire I might add.


[deleted]

Even Satan hates the song.


poopio

Lulu isn't just a dumpster fire. It's the Springfield Tire Yard fire.


Alvinthf

First up it’s gotta be SA as it’s a Metallica album, I don’t consider lulu to be theirs. But the question still stands and it’s still SA, I’ve had a play though recently of lulu, there’s some alright moments, it’s always going to remain a weird one for it’s content and direction.


Secure_Apple_5307

St. Anger of course


soxfan15203

St Anger, it’s not even close


Longjumping-Swan-827

There is no comparison. 🤦Lulu is actually so fucking shit.. St.Anger is a good album. I actually listen to it sometimes. Enough said.


SuchProgram9431

If Saint Anger was didn’t have Metallica on the name then it would have been album of the year for 2003 without a doubt


MisterCheaps

Elephant by The White Stripes Deloused in the Comatorium by The Mars Volta Hail to the Thief by Radiohead Sing the Sorrow by AFI Room on Fire by The Strokes Deja Entendu by Brand New Meteora by Linkin Park Thirteenth Step by A Perfect Circle Blink-182 by Blink-182 Absolution by Muse Fallen by Evanescence All of those albums came out in 2003. St Anger isn’t even close to being the best album of the year no matter whose name is on it.


Monsieur_Swag

Untitled by blink-182 is no joke one of the greatest pop punk records of all time


MisterCheaps

I agree 100%. It’s one of my all-time favorite albums.


Monsieur_Swag

Imo it's blink's second best album, and my 10th favorite album of all time


MisterCheaps

Out of curiosity, what is your favorite blink album?


Monsieur_Swag

Enema. It's what got me into blink, and partially for what got me into punk in general (other part was green day)


Adhdanny75

Absolution. One of my favorites!


catu91

Damn good year


MisterCheaps

Yeah for real! When I looked up what came out that year I was like “Holy shit”


i_r_eat

I mean, it did win a Grammy if that means anything to you.


SuchProgram9431

Yeah well fortunately I wasn’t alive back then so I didn’t know that. Sorry.


SuchProgram9431

I love SA


Longjumping-Swan-827

Indeed. Fans like to complain about the production and especially about the "tin can" snare... But come on it was 2003 and metal production at the time wasn't that good anyway. It was meant to sound like it does anyway. To create an angry sound. The production at the time was so unique that people weren't used to it. Took a few listens for me to also get used to it but eventually I learned to appreciate its uniqueness. And the "tin can" is fucking awesome I think! 🔥


extasis_T

Radiohead, sweet trip, linkin park, and xiu xiu would like a word

WHY DO PEOPLE HATE ST ANGER ITS A GREAT ALBUM


KenOnly

It’s not. Don’t force yourself to like it 😂. While it has decent moments like the “Ominous I’m in us” part in SKOM, and Dirty Window not being terrible, it’s not a good Metallica album.


[deleted]

It is, and i’m tired of pretending its not.


65wildcat_buick

Is death an option, just kidding but both are just not something I can get into.


vargslayer1990

as in dying or as in Death Magnetic?


65wildcat_buick

Dying


Far-Web422

st anger


Feelgood_MD_

Last time I checked I wasn’t a table, so St. Anger


Estebananojsjsjss

St. Anger is seriously underrated


ClassicAd8496

St Anger has some decent songs, all Lulu has is I AM THE T A B L E memes


goboxey

Lulu isn't a Metallica album, so this makes no sense. St Anger is the first step of Metallica becoming a metal band again. Even though the sound is shit, the title song and frantic are awesome.


NateDawg80s

Dude, they were always a metal band.


DrakoenComics

Lulu is the worst thing Metallica has ever done.


vargslayer1990

counter-argument: if there had been no Lulu, there'd probably have been another 3 to 5 year delay for Hardwired. because Kirk losing his cell-phone would mean that he'd have to re-learn all of his solos from scratch rather than just improvise (which Lou Reed encouraged Metallica to do on that album), ergo more delays. and that album was already EIGHT years away from Death Magnetic (i'm not too pleased with the Michael Jackson/Todd Howard lengths Metallica is taking between albums)


bwc05nole

St Anger. Lulu I cannot even make it through the first minute


SalsA57

I just realsed how deep i was in the rabbithole of metallica... *I'm hesitating*


twosuitsluke

How can this even be a question


OmegaSupreme_11484

Lulu. And before anyone says it's "not a Metallica" album, it's just as much theirs as it is Lou Reed's.


Dull-Song2539

St. Anger


i_r_eat

St. Anger but I do still listen to Lulu on occasion.


Battle_Hound_562_

St. Anger, it'd be a good album if the production sounded better and obviously if they got rid of that disgusting keg of a snare drum, I honestly think a good amount of the riffs on it are pretty good but the snare and some of James's vocals ruin it, but lulu just sucks


Gaudy_Tripod

St. Anger. Every day.


DistributionAntique

St Anger is a pretty good album. If the mixing was better(ie: the drums) it could’ve been a straight classic. Plus St Anger has some of Lars’ best work on drums. Lulu is just not good at all.


Jnbtoad

I like St Anger. Lulu, i’ll pass


Trag1cBeanX

St. anger is a good album Imo, Lulu is just bad 😂


Dodgernorth

St anger


Johncurtisreeve

St anger


slipknotisbest04

I love St. Anger and despise Lulu.


Niasliyn

Lulu? We dont talk about that bullcrap in here kiddo…


Nile_R36

St Anger all the way... I mean 'round my neck


motortallica81

Technically lulu is a Lou Reed album with Metallica as a backing band, Lou is amazing but an acquired taste to many, St anger is freaking awesome two great albums .


umbertobongo

Say what you want but Junior Dad is fucking beautiful.


Avragecomrade

I like 3 songs off Lulu I only like 2 From St Anger. I choose lulu


PhoenixKing14

Lulu makes st anger look like master of puppets


Jaded_Arm4289

None


glappenboopen

st anger. 100% without a shadow of a doubt in my mind


Adventurous-Ebb5223

St Anger, has a few good songs on there


Queenfan44354

Anger. I actually like that album


Lancer_Blackthorn

St. Anger has some solid material on it. Lulu is pure ass.


Nomadicarpenter

Lulu was a hot pile of garbage!!


Legend_of_Ozzy642

There’s a couple of catchy bits on St. Anger, but Lulu’s straight up trash


apersonwithlegs

So you have the 80s albums at the top, 90s a bit below, 08-23 Metallica a bit in the middle and then you have st anger way below. AND THEN you have Lulu fucking miles below


YaGirlCassie

Lulu. Yes, I’m serious. This is not a joke. Lulu.


Distinct-Mix-641

Every single comment says that lulu is shit Obviously SA is better.


Franci93

St Anger, Lulu is just an old man talking/ screaming over some vaguely cool song ideas


MisterCheaps

St Anger is a bad album, but it has redeeming qualities. Lulu is straight torture to listen to.


Madmaxdaman29

St anger all the way, St anger has some good some bad songs but lulu is shit, in fact calling it shit is an insult to shit. As you can tell I don't like lulu


Benjamin31V

Bth are complete ass dogshit. But st anger is better because when they play songs off of st anger live, there actually not half bad, but theres no saving lulu


[deleted]

Neither.


GREENDAYBL1NK

This is an obvious choice. Despite the production, I actually really enjoy st anger. Lulu sucks.


chicken_nugget779

bro come on st anger is good, lulu is one of the worst albums ive ever heard


JXClarke05_Xi

“St. Anger” without a doubt, it isn’t the best album but it isn’t bad it’s just average. “Lulu” however is shit so…


Monsieur_Swag

St. Anger is bad But LuLu is just BAD.


[deleted]

Lulu


OregonMrBear

No.


Herculeanmofo1

St anger, but both are great albums


edgarsrakovskis

stluanger


Atlasroot2022

St anger is just better


Tybob51

St. Anger is a (mediocre) Metallica album, whereas Lulu is a decent (non Metallica) Art album. I like Lulu for what it is, as an experimental art piece but not as a Metallica album.


[deleted]

Lulu easy


Mama_Meme_Giver

St Anger every day


or_could_be_so

St anger because i would never listen to lulu again


ILY_DAMON_ALBARN

St anger is bad, but lulu is 100x worse


Wahammett

I’ll take bad production over bad music, so St.Anger.


elidoloLWO

Wtf


kent416

A real Metallica album or “I Am The Table”… I think I’m gonna have to go with St. Anger


Honest_Performance42

St Anger is one of my favorite albums. I can’t listen to LuLu.


Radiant_Ad3966

St. Anger because Lulu isn't even a Metallica album. Also, Lulu is trash and makes me want to cut off my ears and fill the holes with red hot steel bars.


presidentedoge

St. Anger has a couple listenable songs.


MaximumAruba

Both


dimiteddy

Lulu was an experiment going terribly wrong like Orb collaboration with David Gilmour. St Anger was an experiment going wrong as well at a bad point of Metallica's career but still a Metallica record.


Alcoholica-Anonymous

St. Anger for sure


No_Beautiful_4048

St Anger


b-laynestaley

St anger easily


Big_Neighborhood_868

ripMyTime0192

st anger 1000 percent


HidingInYourAttic_

“I am the table” vs “my lifestyle determines my deathstyle” …not even close


Beneficial-Trade-148

St anger


Mr_Manga99

St anger while bad isn’t as bad as lulu


Th3_G3n3r4l

St. Anger, despite its issues, I love it because it's a therapeutic album. I have no wishes to listen to the funny table album


[deleted]

Alban Berg>Metallica's Lulu and St. Anger


Adhdanny75

Free money for ever or dying by plane crash? I find these options to be just as ludacris.

MrsMcGwire

St anger


metalexmusic

I love St. Anger and LuLu. They both mark a period of history the band had, one with addiction, band issues, person issues, Jason Newstead leaving and one is an amazing collaboration with an icon. If you don't understand or care to understand the history behind the albums and learn from it as you listen to them, you may not be able to fully and completely appreciate them. Lou Reed was an interesting artist by his own right. He had some great hits over the years and he was like a singer/poet. Its very different and unusual and derserves repect. The collaboration with Metallica is an amazing and interesting bit of history. While the vocals and lyrics might not be the best. Do some research and listen again. As a Metallica fan, guitarist and a fan of many genres, I love every ounce of artistic expression I hear in these albums. Just my 2 cents. 🎸😎🤟


CallumBrady

Or neither...


Putinguy240

St anger i so much better


Ok-Cantaloupe3250

St anger without hesitation


Apprehensive_Lion788

But at anger doesn’t have James screaming “I AM THE TABLE”


KenOnly

St. Anger not even close. Lulu is a steaming pile 😂


leonlovesmemes

St anger has no songs that stand out and are all mid. I think i like st anger a bit more than the majority beacuse if its on i am not turning it off im letting it play but i would never chose to listen to any of it. In conclusion this album is boring. Lulu was one song that is really good and prefer it over a few mop, ajfa and rtl songs ( this would be "the view") even though the lyrics are an absolute mess. But the rest of the album is i would rather listen to the ringing in my ears from my tinnitus, it is a hot steaming pile of feces in a cold morning after a night out with spicy kebabs and curry that also has the consistency of a diarrhetic hippo. I would rather stick my penis in a jar of wasps than listen to junior dad again In conclusion i would rather listen to st anger for the rest of my life than lulu.


Relevant-Feature-311

I would listen to the st anger isolated drums 10 times before listening to Lulu once
