You'd think it would have been Octavarium that gave you a Panic Attack!

Oh, the only thing I liked from Octavarium was the first fifty seconds of Panic Attack - I was being generous. I'd actively say that Images and Words was great. Awake was good, and A Change of Seasons (as an album) wasn't too bad. Other than the first couple minutes off of Home, or ten seconds of Dance of Eternity jamming, I'd rather sniff farts than listen to Scenes. Never since Pull Me Under were they as concise and powerful.

While Octavarium the album is generally terrible- The Answer Lies Within and I Walk Beside You are insufferable- the title track itself is one of the best prog songs of its decade.

Fun fact: While we're on the eternal Dream Theater controversy, I thought I'd mention Pitchfork's policy to never ever ever mention Dream Theater on the site. In its 16 years they have never had a news item, review, or mention of the band, highly unnatural given that Dream Theater have been one of the more significant non-mainstream bands of the past two decades. Their front page story at the moment is Coldplay btw.
 
This is just one of a series of anti-prog moves Pitchfork has made that has made it notorious on PA, but in this case it's funny because it's Dream Theater ;)

They DID interview Will Oldham. Maybe they're not all yuppie hipster c**ksucker trash worshipping stupid lo-fi garbage like Slanted and enchanted. Or maybe they really DO like Kanye West, the fat fag banker trash neandertal kublah-khan and a ringadingadominic I dont

Oh come on, the album can't be that bad. It sounds pretty ambitious.

Point taken, I'll stream Lulu and see how it goes.

Metallica haven't had the wherewithal to execute something ambitious well for a long time now.  S&M was glossy and overblown but at least it was listenable, not least because some of the original compositions had their merits, but Lulu is just Dead

I beg to differ. I couldn't get through it all because it was so far up its arse. 
And what I've heard from the album is terrible.

New album!

I'm terrified to actually listen to "Lulu" because I've been a Metallica fan since I was 10 years old, started playing guitar because of James Hetfield and Kirk Hammett, and I'm pretty positive that this album will be absolutely horrible. St. Anger wasn't good as an album, but it at least had a few redeemable qualities.

^That it made a handy table coaster? 

Can't say the same for the internet Lulu streaming. Can't even break the disc in anger (unless you manually extract the files as .mp3 and burn them to a cd, and then you're just torturing yourself in a roundabout manner).

You know, I'm starting to get a feeling that that might be a Metallica album I should actually check out, but I'm a bit too busy at the moment.
Released date are often when it it impacted you but recorded dates are when it really happened...

We should re-name this thread as "Let's beat up on the same 2 albums constantly and not really make a point."  Let the bands make the music THEY want to do and some people will like it and some people will not...who cares.

To me, Metallica ceased to exist when Newsted left (I know, for most people the dividing line was Cliff's death).  The people calling themselves Metallica now are impostors.

And with the possible exception of New York, Reed hasn't done anything to merit my attention in many, many years.

We all care, or else we wouldn't be wasting time talking about it. I REALLY hate the new Dream Theater, Opeth, Mastodon, and Metallica albums. f**k Porcupine Tree. There, I said it. Steve Wilson's about as untalented as Brian Wilson was talented. I want juice! To hell with CSI: Miami. It's free-floating hostility week here at Prog "full-of-sh*t" Archives. Winners receive lifetime tickets to all upcoming Glass Hammer concerts. Proceeds will be spent toward resurrecting Fran(z)k "Cough-ka" Zappa(holic) for the sole purpose of farting in President Obama's milk-bowl. 

I hate them so much it makes me pee on my socks. Can't you just feel the importance of this rising up from my pasty white-ass skin, homie?
