Metallica - Frantic but it's 23% more frantic
Frantic, like much of Metallica's 2003 album St Anger, is one of those songs that is chock full of incredible riffs and an honest, aggressive energy. But it's also 6 minutes long. My friend Nick and I decided to whittle the song down to its core components and throw our own twist on it!
😡 STREAM THE ST. ANGER EP: ffm.to/stanger 😡
The idea was to bridge the divisive conversation about St Anger - If you love the original, you may think this is just pretty good... If you hate the original, though, you just might find that this version is actually pretty good!

LYRICS:
If I could have my wasted days back,
Would I use them to get back on track?
Stop to warm at karmas burning
Or look ahead, but keep on turning?
Do I have the strength to know how I'll go?
Can I find it inside to deal with what I shouldn't know?
Could I have my wasted days back
Would I use them to get back on track?
You live it or lie it!
(You live it or lie it)
My lifestyle determines my deathstyle
Keep searching, keep on searching
This search goes on, on and on
Keep searching, keep on searching
This search goes on, on and on
Frantic tick tick tick tick tick tick tock
Frantic tick tick tick tick tick tick tock
My lifestyle determines my deathstyle

Always thought this album would be massively improved with just some trimming (and better production, of course). The songs themselves have a lot of good parts, they just repeat endlessly until you hate them.

Desde el Load & Reload vienen haciendo eso. Alargar y alargar las canciones en el intento de ser pegadizos y aunque en algunas lo consiguen en otras tienen dos riffs buenos explotados hasta la saciedad.

Trimming, yes, thats why they need a producer with the job to actually produce (ie Bob Rock in the early 90s) towards a more conmercial approach and structure. All of the latest metallica albums have the same problem, its just endless new parts and bloated sections. 72 seasons is a bit better on some songs, but most of them could essily loose two thirds. Or more.

the sound is truly unique, they really do suffer from some extremely sub-par mixing and recording, honestly. but i love St. Anger. it's such a unique album. the snare-fix remasters on youtube make it very enjoyable!!!

Bruh, trimming is putting it lightly, the album should only be 30 to 40 minutes long, take it from someone who will defend the original version of all within my hands with his life, there is no reason for any of these songs to be longer than 3 minutes, and the album clocks in at roughly 75
As a huge Metallica fan this fucking kicks ass! Awesome work.

Listening again, and realised that this song (and presumably others on St Anger) are raised simply by using a decent sounding drum kit. One of my lecturers at university when I was studying sound production said that the St Anger snare sounded like, and I quote, "a skeleton having a wank in a biscuit tin".

Love this cover, and I actually love the original song. St Anger has a couple of okay songs, but it was clearly an album that needed to happen for Metallica's sake. They were clearly not in a good place, and the fact they managed to push St Anger meant they could get through anything. Death Magnetic and Hardwired are great, imo. So for that reason I'm glad St Anger exists.

This is really good. I was a Metallica stalker before and during the St. Anger period. I remember in interviews the band said they were going for a rough garage feel. And went on to say that they used cuts that they knew the guitars had gone out of tune somewhere in the mix. I thought oh know that does not sound good. Then the album came out. I listened to it a lot. And everytime I liked it a little more. I always felt there was a classic album in their somewhere. Years later You Tube comes along and talented fellows like you proved it. You live it or lie it.

The tuning of the guitars, the evenness of the drums, the synchronization of the parts, and the mixing/mastering of the track were all better than the original. And I feel like the original has no excuse on the mixing/mastering front, given that it was released in 2003, a year after Disturbed put out Believe.

I mean there was a reason for the awful mixing and drum tuning. Metallica was behind the Napster lawsuit and Lars got all petty and said "what if we made something so awful nobody would bother stealing it?" What he failed to realize is that it was so awful nobody wanted to buy it either. St. Anger is one of the most notorious metal albums of all time because of it. Shame it was a losing battle.
