 Topic: Love Beach vs St. Anger
Posted: May 18 2010 at 13:44 |
|
The two masterpieces of progressive music will now clash in an epic battle only worth that of the battle of Team Edward vs Team Jacob. May the best album win.

The one with the tasteful epic and drums that don't sound like trash cans.

Sorry, but I can't vote, as I really can't abide either of them

They both are terrible, but I'll go with Love Bitch on this one (I can't believe I just voted for that!  ). St. Anger is unlistenable, though. I can't listen to more than 2 minutes of it without being ready to puke!

I haven't heard either of them, but Love Beach has a cool cover.

If you look beyond the cover Love Beach has some great songs. I remember buying St Anger when it came out and returning it the next day.

I can't endorse either album. I'm not a huge ELP guy, though I can listen to them in small doses. Not Love Beach though.
Metallica are one of my favorite bands, and St. Anger and the Black Album (having maybe 3 songs on it I like) are the only two of their albums I can't stand to listen to. I do find the Some Kind Of Monster film entertaining.

Almost nothing EVER can be as bad as St. Anger. Love Beach gets my vote, of course.

I don't know Love Beach yet, but I can't imagine it being half as bad as St. Anger is.

Hell yeah. Underrated album, underrated drum sound. Love Beach isn't that bad either.

I have unfortunately heard Love Beach, and it is truly rubbish. I'm too scared to try St. Anger. So, that is probably a good thing.
No vote.

Love Beach is one of those albums that gets waaaaaaay more flak than it deserves, it's really not half bad. I'd give it a 3, maybe even 3.5 if I reviewed it.
St. Anger is an absolute joke, not a single second of decent music to be found there.

This topic is a lot more one sided than I anticipated it to be.

Love Beach.
I hate it with a passion, but St. Anger is my least favourite album on this site.
