EXACTLY my reaction.
Spin works its way further into oblivion.

Tweedy was listening to the Conet Project at the time, and a couple of bits of it are sprinkled in the recording, so you get some disembodied voice call letters. That's really about it.

Best Metallica cd's are:
1) MoP
2)...and Justice for All
3) Black Album
When I think of the black album I think "Ruff to never-never land!". That, to me, is James Hetfield jumping the shark.
"ruff"...lol. I know what you mean, but it's not that bad when you hear it in the context of the whole song. Enter Sandman was the first released song off TBA and it was played non-stop on the radio at the time. I had to turn it off at times it was getting so over-played and annoying.
Metallica, as a band, pretty much "jumped the shark" ten years ago.

To: T.Smith
ok well I act like I am in my late 20's, except that I am only in my mid 20's :)
As I said, Load had like one good song, but I hated that album and all the rest of them have sucked.
To: MotleyGirl70
I remember, in 1991, gathering around the TV with my friends anxiously awaiting the premier of the new Metallica video, Enter Sandman. We were so pumped. And then they played it...we all stared at each other and said, "What is this {expletive deleted}?".
I've been anti-Metallica ever since. Just think, their new album doesn't have one guitar solo on it. Kirk Hammett is the best rock soloist of all time (IMHO). Him recording an album without a solo is like Rembrandt painting in black and white. It's just not the same.

I don't agree - but that's a hell of a choice.

Thom Yorke's orange-alert worldview I LOVE the color-coded alert. I think it's useless, but it gives us so much mileage because it drives wimpy liberals inSANE.

I got a chance to them live last year here in SF. They were in the middle of a 40 shows in 40 nights swing. There were only about 15 people in the audience, but they sounded good.
To: GSWarrior
I haven't had a chance to see them, but I have seen Salas-Humara before. A serious talent.
15 people? In SF? I thought y'all were more attuned than that. I think the Silos would draw a lot better than that here in Atlanta.

"...Slayer - Reign in Blood"
With the 20th anniversary of that album coming next year, I hope a double disc reissue, with disc 2 loaded with unreleased demos, is in store. "Reign In Blood" sounded 2005 back in 1986. Not many albums that old still sound like they were recorded yesterday.

"HANSEN LIVE"...............THE BOX SET........hee hee hee
To: weegee
"Definitely the band developed the Lo Fi sound that seems to be everywhere in the indie/underground music scene."
I beg to differ. Lou Barlow (early Dinosaur Jr, Sebadoh, Sentridoh, etc.) introduced and subsequently perfected the lo-fi sound. Also, the Mountain Goats 1994 "Zopilote Machine" CD is a seminal gem.
Two other CDs mentioned on the list are worth picking up as well:
91. XTC, Skylarking (Geffen, 1986)
90. Sonic Youth, Sister (DGC, 1987)

Well Jon Spencer "wanted" to be Sonic Youth at one point. SY talked of doing a cover version of the Beatles' White Album but Jon's band Pussy Galore did a full release of the Stones' Exile On Main St. (recorded in 3 days).
It was a limited cassette only release (250 copies I think).

You're correct. Exile on Main St. was first released as a cassette then a very limited CD run. I had the CD at one point (long, long time ago).
