Worst Metal Albums
Definitely, this is the worst "metal" album ever made. Lou Reed sounds like a living death (well, technically, he is). James' and Kirk's riffs are repetitive, motoric, and simply boring. Lars' drums are simple (not as bad as on "St. Anger," but close enough), and you basically don't hear a lot of Rob's bass lines.
Don't get me wrong - I like Metallica (I even used to love them for some time), but this is literally crap. You can listen to "St. Anger" without hitting a wall with your head. Here, you cannot.
This piece of junk should be banned and forgotten, forever!
I'm sorry, but this album is just plain bad. The songs are way too long and repetitive, and the vocals are done very poorly. I don't know what James was thinking when this album was made because apparently, Bob Rock had nothing to do with it.
Not to mention the drums. Lars literally sounds like he walked into the kitchen and started bashing on random pots and pans like a bloody two-year-old. Sorry, Lars, but in the year 2003, you should have just stuck to playing tennis!
I only like two songs, which are Frantic and St. Anger. Invisible Kid and the others are the worst, well, I don't know. But you're right, Lulu is the worst album. I get it, it's a little too bland, but I think the trash can snare is a clever idea because it reminds me of that red drum snare from my grandparents' house.
Frantic's riff sounds more like a distorted synthesizer. No wonder it's nu-metal.
Limp Bizkit is a stain on metal as a genre. All their albums and songs are terrible, but this has to be the worst thing that has ever been put out in music history.
I would literally take any album in any genre of music (yes, that includes the Lou Reed album Lulu, which isn't a Metallica album by the way, Midnight Memories by One Direction, and probably the worst of them all, Epic by BOTDF) over this disgrace. Hell, I'd take any album on Earth over any of Limp Bizkit's albums.
Chocolate Starfish and the Hot Dog Flavored Water has one thing going for it, and that is the meme that is Rollin'. I don't mean the song. I mean the part where he says Rollin'. The song is garbage, maybe the worst on the album.
I don't think any song will ever top Break Stuff on a list of worst songs of all time though, except maybe Gucci Gang by Lil Pump. That is... no... just no. Oh, and I like how Limp Bizkit's most popular albums are the worst and are all in the top 20s on this list.
My version of metal hell would be listening to this and St. Anger back to back for all eternity.
Biggest slap in the face in death metal. This album is beyond horrible.
My review for this "thing" translates to the last four words of its title.
The quality was the worst of all Pantera albums in the glam metal era. Nobody loved the Terry Glaze era since Phil put Pantera on the groove.
All their albums suck. Disgrace to metal music.
How is Slipknot (of all bands) ahead of this?! Better yet, how is this album behind Significant Other and Chocolate Starfish (which were also not that good. At least they were much better than this, though)?
This album is quite possibly the bottom of the barrel for music in general, and that's saying a lot, especially given how most tracks aren't even bottom of the barrel - they're the grime under it. Disgraceful.
The Newcomers
Some people might call me conservative for saying this, but this album is totally overrated. People obey it like a praying mantis.
Some liberal views aren't bad, but there's a cult among the left that worships this group. Korn - Follow the Leader was on this list, and that wasn't a bad album at all.
Lazy songwriting, vocals that sound like Jeremy Spencer has a cold or something, and lyrics that frame sexual assault and other heinous crimes toward women as sexy in a pleasurable way.
This album gets a negative 10 out of positive 10. It deserves to be #1 on this list and is, in my opinion, the worst album ever made. I'd rather listen to Richard Benson - at least he doesn't put damaging messages into the world through his music.
Pretty surprised this isn't higher up. There are plenty of albums above this one (some by Iron Maiden, Metallica, and the like) that may not be the best metal albums out there, but at least they're somewhat meritable musically.
This, on the other hand, is so juvenile and unlistenable that saying this is how a Satanic metal band would be portrayed in LazyTown would be vile slander to LazyTown.
Corey's voice sounds like a little girl. Stupid poser.
Worst metal album ever. Period.
Worse than Lulu. At least Lulu didn't have pop beats.
Just plain weird. It's worse than St. Anger.
Metallica peaked in the 1980s, and while they were always heading downhill, they went into hyperspeed straight to suck on this one. Cutting their hair was irrelevant, but smearing on makeup and whining like a bunch of queens ruined this band for me.
My first impression when I meet a Metallica fan is that they don't know very much about music.
Load is a great album, and they thought it would get more popular by just releasing Reload. This album is just a mess.
When you're one of the biggest thrash bands and then turn around and release dad rock, be ready for a riot.
This album sucked. The Black Album was okay. It sounded like they were trying to slow it down and be more moody like Sabbath. After that, they seemed to be trying to suck like Linda Lovelace. They have succeeded. If Cliff Burton had lived, he would have left this band long ago.
This album was atrocious. When Battle Born is the single, you know you have a problem.
Freeze! By the name of the law of music, this album is under arrest.
I haven't listened to it, but based on the songs I have heard by this awful poser band, it must be terrible.
Get this trash to number 1, please. This is worse than all the albums in the top 10 combined.
I don't care if they are trying to be funny. They are terrible comedians and musicians.
The absolute worst metal album of all time. Intentionally so.
To be honest, Ozzy is a good musician. Sadly, though, he hasn't aged very well.
