bah! Judas Priest and other bands released albums that are considered classics and all, albums that would be outdone, but metallica are the only ones getting shit. stop trying to be 'elite' :roll:
The only reason Metallica is getting shit here is because Metallica's Master of Puppets is the album we are discussing. You know, there are people who don't think some Judas Priest albums are classics. Check the Sad Wings of Destiny thread, where some people (*gasp!) said that they disagreed with the fact that it was classic. However, instead of doing what you did and calling everyone elitist because they don't like a popular metal album as much as others do, defenders of the album, such as I, actually defended our position without name calling! I know, its a crazy concept, but I swear to you, it works!

it-s one thing to not like it, i don-t like Priest, for example, but they, due to their tremendous importance, have total respect from my part. even though i dislike most of their music i dare not say that there is something 'sucky' about it. and if A or B come out and name something from them a Classic here, i can only agree.
If you dare not say that there is something sucky about Priest even though you don't like it, its probably because you're a complete pansy. You see, that's the thing with opinions: YOU CAN ACTUALLY EXPRESS OPINIONS THAT OTHERS DISAGREE WITH! Another crazy concept, I know. If you're too scared to dare express something that other people disagree with, its not our problem, and we will continue posting our opinions regardless of your hurt feelings. And why should I respect Metallica? Because I think that they got popular over hundreds of more deserving bands?

if Metallica hadn' taken a wrong turn later in their career... most of thir critics would stay shut. and either way fact is THEIR PRESENT DOESN-T ALTER THEIR PAST!!!
No, you see, if Metallica hadn't take a wrong turn later in their career, most of their critics would stay shut about the later albums. However, right now we're talking about this one. No matter how shitty or good later albums become, it cannot change an opinion on another album. Therefore, I am actually judging this album on its own as opposed to the later ones, a concept which seems to have escaped you. I know, that's the third crazy concept of this post. Isn't learning fun?
In conclusion, you need to learn those three concepts I detailed out for you, and accept the fact that just because someone doesn't call a popular album great, does not mean they're trying to gain krieg kvlt internet elite points, and could actually be expressing what they thing. Good luck, and tell us how it turns out!
