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.

All their albums suck. Disgrace to metal music.

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.

Freeze! By the name of the law of music, this album is under arrest.

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.

Just because the soundscape on this album borders on Pantera-lite or whatever was cool and hip at the time doesn't make this a great album. Dig a little deeper and you'll find the songs are basically the same kind of fluff and virtually interchangeable with the crap that populated Turbo, Ram It Down, etc.

Add the cliched cartoon lyrics to the mix, and this is a ridiculously bad album that doesn't deserve the credit it gets. Halford was probably ashamed of this too, as he left the sinking ship soon afterward.

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.

To be honest, Ozzy is a good musician. Sadly, though, he hasn't aged very well.

This album is so stupid. Their fans call this metal, but it's simple nonsense. Brad Delson is the worst guitarist ever, and they think they're so original. I don't see why Slipknot is at the top, but that album is freaky.

This is music for weeaboos and "depressed" people in middle school and the first two years of high school. This album and the band are just plain awful.

To be honest, the only reason they exist is because of angst.
