Spin Cycle: Metallica – Beyond Magnetic

by Grez on Feb 1, 2012 • 2 Comments

Three years. That’s how long it’s been since Metallica released Death Magnetic (which was their first studio LP in six years, following the universally-hated St. Anger). Three years since Metallica released what is arguably their best collection of songs since And Justice For All. Three years since fans and critics alike balked at the horrendous mix full of clipping and compression. Three years since Death Magnetic made the sound of a golden nugget of kickass dropped into a toilet. Three. Freaking. Years. And […]

(As if to ensure that no one would ever want to download their music illegally again, Metallica have teamed up with Lou Reed to craft an album that, judging by every measure of common sense, will function as an unofficial sequel to the Velvet Underground frontman’s Metal Machine Music in both themes and listenability. The Popblerd staff gave a listen to first official track “The View”; unable to saddle any one individual with the burden of listening enough times to write […]

The Big 4: Metallica, Slayer, Megadeth and Anthrax – Wednesday, September 14th 2011, Yankee Stadium, Bronx, NY I’ve seen Anthrax (with Joey Belladonna on vocals), Megadeth, Slayer and Metallica on more than a few occasions (Anthrax as recently as two days before The Big 4 event), so seeing them all play live again wasn’t necessarily earth shattering, but seeing them all play TOGETHER live and in the flesh was certainly a teenage dream of mine come to life. Much was […]

30. “Shock the Monkey” Peter Gabriel (1983) Peter Gabriel is often lauded for his video work, although most of his innovative music videos are overshadowed by his greatest video achievement (which we’ll get to later). Frankly, I still have no idea what the hell 1982’s “Shock the Monkey” is about, but it has everything – monkeys, midgets, dot matrix printouts… The song is apparently about lovers’ jealousy, but the video looks a lot more like paranoid schizophrenia to me. Whatever […]

Chart Stalker Extra: It Was Twenty Years Ago Today…(Almost)

When you see that there’s a Chart Stalker Extra, you know it means one thing. This week’s Billboard chart is boring. As. Shit. Really, it is. There weren’t any major new releases last week, so that means Beyonce holds on for a second frame at Number One, moving a still impressive 115,000 units. She’ll cross the Gold sales threshold next week, but her stint at the top will be over by that point. It looks like next week’s chart champ […]
