the trio of metallica albums that i wanted to react to has come to an end. is there anything else from their discography that could come next?
...and Justice for All absolutely
And justice for all
Their best album
Riff writing at its peak!
I'd suggest going through their discography in order as long as you're interested in listening to them, their career progresses in very interesting ways to say the least
Justice n black. That'll do ya
JUSTICE. their best album.
Orion. That is all.
@MetalManiaxe78 there is onion ring and then there is Orion belt.
If you bring Orion, there WILL be Damage Inc.!!!
Try and remember what you were doing in life when you were in your early 20's. I was TRYING to get high and laid....while Cliff Burton was writing Orion (and probably succeeding in getting high and laidđ). An epic talent.
@@VadersRage Orion was my introduction to Metallica. I was sat down by two friends (who incidentally got me into Iron Maiden the year before) and told "you HAVE to hear this!"
On really good headphones,
Transcendence.
I canât express how much this album meant to those of us who were lucky enough to be teens when this was released and feel like we were a little part of something so perfect.
We were!!!!
Iâm 23 but I wish I wash a teen when this album came out, I found this album when I was 16 but I wish it was back then and then I couldâve talked to my friends about it and jammed out to the album with them, but in 2017-2018 not very many people my age listened to it and also âŠAnd Justice For All my favorite album of all time
Totally agree, saw them on the previous tour and this one twice. Peak Metallica and RIP Cliff.
I remember a friend and I couldn't wait for the school day to end so we could go buy the cassette the day it came out.
I was 15 when my best friend ran out of a music store, album in hand security chasing him. Man, oh man buy this, buy this. He had no money. Best damn money I spent that year!
Here are all the band members for you:
James Hetfield - singer, rhythm guitarist (primary songwriter, wrote a majority of the riffs, often regarded as the best rhythm guitarist in all of metal and a downpicking god, he did play the first solo on master of puppets though)
Kirk Hammett - lead guitarist (focused mostly on the solos, however he has written some really cool riffs)
Lars Ulrich- drummer (the other primary songwriter, helps hetfield choose the best riffs and arrange them into songs)
Cliff Burton RIP - bassist (brought the concept of harmony into the band and wrote the masterpiece that is orion, sadly this was his last album)
He was in "...And Justice for All" with "To Live Is to Die" as the bass line is made with unused recordings Burton had performed prior to his death.
â@@AlexJPetrov nah they only used cliff's poem, they made the instrumental inspired by cliff.
@@billrobertjoe They used a German poem he used to say and some of his words. As far as I know they used some basslines from his recordings that are played by Jason Newsted.
@@AlexJPetrov i don't have time to explain just look up to live is to die andriy vasylenko
james is good but you have to admit in terms of rhythm dave is superior.. or lets say they are both as good, in best case scenario for james... he isnt above dave, if you play guitar you'd know whos more skilled
Their most progressive album is 'And Justice For All.' 'To Live is to Die' is a masterpiece and I just want them to play it live dammit.
they have debuted the song at the 30th anniversary and that was only time they played, nowdays they keep it safe regadless the setlist
They played it live, it was horrible.
Just again right? But not rushed and in the right tempo.
Would love to hear more from Beyond Magnetic too.
@@sadsadasdsadasdsadas Sure. That was in 2011 though, so not exactly their best times. Would've been a different story if they played it live during the AJFA era.
@@moistchris1at Seattle 1989 they played the crescendo of To Live is To Die and made it lead into the beginning of master of puppets, itâs not much of the song but itâs amazing the minute or two they play it.
"Drain you of your sanity/face the thing that should not be"
The slight echo on James' "BE" right there is probably my favorite single second of Metallica music. It's so badass.
âBAYYYYYYEHHHHHHHHHHAHHHHHâ
I saw them before u were born. Know ur p!ace bro..
@@rickyshaw4759 who?
I don't know if anyone else has mentioned it. I don't see it in the comments: this album was inducted into the Library of Congress in 2015 as a piece of art with significant artistic, aesthetic, and/or cultural value. It is the first metal album to be so preserved.
And only
well deserved.
One of the best albums in rock and metal. Every track is quality and there is plenty variety in the songs.
Saddest thing is that they lost bassist Cliff Burton in a road accident and I feel if he had lived to make more albums with the band we might have seen them move in some interesting directions. Cliff an absolute amazing bassist. I love the story of him that when Metallica played Toronto he heard that Geddy Lee of Rush was there are he started pacing the dressing room floor going "Gedyy Lee is here? Geddy Lee is here?". He was so excited. What a player what a top bloke.
There are still good albums after this but I don't think they ever matched this album.
Lovely reaction.
Oh in case you read this, can you tell me without looking it up what the Latin motto is on your shirtđ?
Disposable Heroes is one of my favorite Metallica songs.. and strictly because of how lost it gets on Puppets.
It started the second side with a bang for those of us who first had it on cassette and vinyl.
The Battery intro is such a wonderful build.
This album features my favourite track by them ..Welcome Home ( Sanitarium ) a song that is prominent in the excellent documentary series Paradise Lost about The West Memphis Three. A brilliant piece of music.
Yeah, that chorus part is unmatched for me
Leper Messiah and The Thing That Should Not Be are my favorites off the album, both amazing
Yes! Master Of Puppets is one of the best albums ever made! It might be the best album of the eighties for sure! Orion is my favorite song by metallica ever. Sadly, while touring on this album they lost their bassplayer, Cliff Burton (RIP). He was responsible for the arrangments and composition of their early albums.
After this they put out their last album in the same vein as this, And Justice For All... This is centainly worth a listen to, if only for One and the title track. The opener and instrumental are also definitely good. The bass, played by Jason Newsted, is almost indistinguishable in the production of this album. It has been speculated that they made this decision in honour of Cliff. That, by doing so, they did a terrible injustice to Jason is ironic, given the album title. After 35 years they should man up already and do justice to Jason by remastering And Justice For All...
After that it's all downhill if you ask me.
Iâm a fanatic for âŠAnd Justice For All I think the unique mix they gave it made something special and it was such a distinctive sound they gave that album. The drums and guitar sound nothing short of beautiful, I wish albums like that were made today
Few things make the morning better than seeing Kira on my feed with a new album reaction! And such an excellent album, too! It's gonna be a good day
Great energy. Your reactions always make me smile. Thanks!
I would include ...And Justice For All in the bunch. Kind of like Metallicas 'prog' album. After that things start to get a bit dicey, the Black Album was a big turning point for them. Good and bad.
I agree completely, I love how âŠAnd Justice For All has progressive metal aspects and a beautiful layered guitar tone. The black album isnât as complex but sonically itâs an amazing album, what they did with the drums and guitars in the mix sounds amazing on a good sound system
I love your reactions! Great job! Itâs better that you appreciate and respect the musicality and how, Metallica especially, writes the music to evoke emotion! â€â€
Kira, you're such a boss. Never stop making these videos.
please do ...And Justice For All
This is a monolith in the metal scene. Never gets old. Do some Pantera (Cowbows from hell) reactions. Maybe it is a bit harder on the ears but there are some great melodic tracks in it.
Perhaps Metallica's peak. They were still young, still had the vigour, the boundless strength and raw energy of youth when you can stay up all night drinking and f*cking, and play your instruments like a machine all day, possessed by the spirit of metal essential for the driving speed and insanity of thrash.
But they had also acquired a profound maturity to their writing, musically and lyrically, able to create deep, dark, beautiful, philosophical music, and it's all in such perfect balance.
James's vocal and guitar work is powerful and impeccable, Kirk's solos intricate and heart-pounding, Lars' percussion thunderous and relentless, and of course, Cliff's bass a masterclass that serves as a fitting but tragic swan song.
It was 1989 before I heard it, but it seemed to be the perfect soundtrack to my mentality even then. An astonishing 37 years later... lemme check that again... yep, 37 years... it still holds up favourably against anything in their, or anyone else's, catalogue, and a very strong candidate for best metal album of the 1980s.
So happy that you recognised bass solos on Orion! Intro to Orion and the one from Damage inc. are distorted bass as well
Love the faces you make! It shows how much you enjoy the music.
If you want a bigger project you could always do Garage Inc(which is all cover tracks) and compare the songs on that album to the original releases. Even if it isn't their own original music I feel like they do such a good job making those covers sound unique.
Thank you for shouting out Garage Inc. It always gets lost in the shuffle due to it being a cover album.
Itâs so good.
This is exactly why I love reaction videos!!! Someone blown away by music
23:48 . Best reaction Ever . This was my reaction too when I listened this song for the first time in 1998 đ€đ»đ€đ»đ€đ»
It is very interesting to hear This Record with my ears 30 years later versus Teenage me who bought it the we came out and was utterly floored with this new flagship in this emerging style of brass metal. I think the band themselves were aware that the opening track was going to sit at the bar for what thrash was supposed to be in 1986, and Metallica made a defining statement with such a refined yet aggressive and at the same time super catchy and stomach tune to open that record. I mean they had done something similar either by pure guessing or blind ignorance or whatever with the two previous albums but you could hear that everything was coalescing and really coming to ahead and if the Metallica machine was not fucking around by this point. They knew they were ahead of the pack, they knew they had inspired other bands already, they knew they still had a lot to prove but they were moving into entirely new realm of popularity and exposure while still being able to do it on their own terms... In short they knew this album was going to be important. Perhaps that is an undercurrent that just wasn't in their mind with the two previous albums and they roast to the challenge in all areas. The production is great, the performances are first-rate, the lyrics are really a high-water mark they would never again try as hard as this and get so much of it right. The album after this was where they started to make music videos and that took them into a whole different level, most of which for me was kind of Paving the path towards the end of the year that I was actually interested in but this, this album, this lineup.. the album was released in a year when each of the big four put out legendary records that were all New Frontiers within the span of a year of each other yet this one, this is the best of the best. From you will always be the greatest Metallica album.
Love watching you to react the same way I did back when this album came out... I was in so much awe :)
Probably my favorite reaction vid. Well done. On to the next one đ€
I think you should do "...And Justice for All" as well, after that they changed style a bit for the black album. Then they changed completely :)
Any other genre you are interested in? I think you would enjoy something like the band Alcest. From there you can go on to more post-rock/shoegaze or venture into Black Metal.
Leper Messiah is a killer track, it's title lifted from a David Bowie lyric from Ziggy Stardust.
first. MOP is a true masterpiece. One of the best albums, if not the best, in metal history.
Thanks so much for giving me back the feelings from the 80s. I enjoyed every minute. đ€đ
This album was my introduction to Metallica back in the day, when it was new. I was immediately blown away, and to this day, I still consider it one of the all-time great albums, particularly in the metal genre.
Great reaction, my fav band of all time. Disposable Heroes shines for me. Subbed for the UK đđ€đž
Loved your accent.... This is indeed a masterpiece.... Half of the song drugs talking to the user, then the other half users talking to drugs... Masterpiece
The pinnacle and epitome of Thrash MusicâŠ..37 years after the release still considered the best containing 8 pure bangersâŠ.and today the band is on a two year World Tour ( released new album two months ago) selling out every venue ( stadiums / festivals) đ„đ„đ„đ€đ€đ€âŠ..LEGENDS and TITANS đ„đ„đ„
Cracking record but I have to disagree. If we're talking thrash then the epitome of the genre has to be Slayer's Reign In Blood.
@@BongEyedBastardyou can disagree but I agree with him, Master of Puppets is the pinnacle of thrash
@@zynnertime1 Half of the songs on MOP aren't even especially fast.
@@BongEyedBastard cool, but slayer has never written anything near the quality of Ride the Lighting or Master of Puppets
@@zynnertime1 I disagree with that statement too.
enjoyed listening to this album with you đ€
your reactions are pure gold â ïž
You might be the coolest react person I ever seen! :)
Battery is my all time fav Metallica track, so so good
That antique dipper on your shelf is bringing back so many memories from when I was a little shit.
This album is just perfect.
Damage incâs bridge riff is the single greatest riff by Metallica ever.
Your happy dances are so cute! Especially when contrasted against the darkness of the music. I can't remember the last time I've seen a person react to Metallica with such pure joy.
omg this so friggin amazing
âDisposable heroesâ is very relevant today.đą
âŠgreat job so far kiddo!đ€
You should do a reaction to the First S&M album, it is a live where they play with a full orchestra, it is truly a masterpiece, and many songs, like the call of kthtullu are even better there
I absolute loveloveLOVE seeing someone react so passionately for the first time to an album that I have loved most of my life. A timeless classic, no less. Thank you! And cheers! â€
I noticed a copy of House of Leaves on your shelf! Great novel!
I also had a bunch of their songs grow on me. Battery and blackened were just unusual to me so they put me off a bit, but blackened is one of my faves nowadays
i love how you just mean-mug into the camera when you're really feeling it, haha
I'm REALLY enjoying these Full Album reactions! Keep 'em coming, Kira, you rock \m/ Can't wait to see some more Iron Maiden in here, "Killers" and perhaps a more recent album like "Dance of Death", with some longer song I'm sure you'll enjoy quite a lot!
I'd definitely recommend "And Justice For All"
Orion is a masterpiece. damn near perfect song. Their recent song Inamorata is one of my favourites as well, you should give it a listen, it's really good
It's a shame that inamorata's interlude sounds exactly the one from judas priest victims of change
YES!
Great reaction to a great album. Would love to see you do And Justice For All in a few months time.
This is one of those album's that every song is good, and many are amazing!! One of the best Metal Albums of all time, and Metallica's best album IMO. I am not surprised that on so many songs you were like this is my favorite on the album, and repeat and repeat, because there are just so many great songs here. thanks for the reaction.
Another great reaction, Kira! I miss the times you would jump up and run around your room! Lol I hope you react to and justice for all next. I think itâs worth the react vid!
The next album, ââŠAnd Justice For Allâ released in 1988, two years after Master of Puppets, is their best album in my opinion. Itâs their Magnum Opus, the pinnacle of Metallica. It includes a lot of progressive metal alongside some thrash metal. Itâs my favorite album of all time by any band. If you give it a chance and donât hate on it because of the mix, youâll realize itâs an incredible album for 1988 and some of the complexity in rhythm and drum work will blow your mind.
Master is my favorite Metallica album because the atmospheric parts, Kirk solos and Orion. She loves bass guitar, she surely will loves last 2 Havok albums maybe.
By-the-by, wanted to thank you for making very musical edits here. I realize you can't play the whole song unless you're going to put it up on patreon or something like that but your edits here actually still having musicality and a float of them in the places you chose to stop and start so pretty cool it's almost like a Remix album
As other have said.. those of us that grew up in the 80s had the best music to choose from. Back then we had cassette tapes in our cars. This tape and the first Guns N Roses tape lived in my beat up high school ride. Oh PS.. Damage, Inc is my all time favorite song of any thing all time ever! lol. But Orion is cool because you can put your own lyrics to it. Just follow Kirks guitar notes. The guitar is the "voice" in this instrumental.
"Aren't instruments fun!" - Band Geek, American Pie 2
For me it's Battery, Master of Puppets, and Damage Inc. that makes the album one of my favorites.
I have 5 favourite tracks from this album, 2 tracks I kinda and one Iâm not particularly bothered by.
Not bad for an 8 track album.
Makes sense though, itâs been consistently voted the best heavy metal album of all time since it was released. By both Kerrang Magazine and I believe Thrasher did too.
It is also the first metal album to have been preserved in the National Recording Registry by the Library of Congress for cultural significance.
This alsbum is a stonecold masterpiece. Sit with the tracks that you didn't quite vibe with, when you really get the feel of thrash (the double time stuff) it feels good, gets the blood flowing and the energy up. I think you'll grow to love them.
The Thing That Should Not Be: Stonehenge sized riffs!
13 year old me from back in 1989 was right there with you.
Same
3:29 - Love this album and looking forward to your Sanitarium reaction (my favorite Metallica tune). Another note - if you love the thrash metal double-kick take a look at Anthrax, particularly Among The Living and Persistence of Time. Slightly different tangent - if you're up for skater thrash metal with unusual depth - Suicidal Tendencies (How Will I Laugh Tomorrow, Controlled By Hatred, and Lights Camera Revolution).
This is my first video of yours. So enjoyable to watch. Haha.
One artist that is popular yet I don't see reacted to very often is Cradle of Filth. So, I nominate Cruelty and the Beast for an album reaction.
You totally seem like someone who would love "House of Leaves" haha. Couldn't help but notice it on the shelf in this one, cheers!
When I heard this album back in 1986... after listening I just couldn't sleep. Oh really. Then I became metalhed until today. It makes me happy that today's kids are discovering it again.
I Love your reactions you're so unique.... I Love Youuuuuuuuu period đđđđ
I proclaim that 'The Thing That Should Not Be' is the heaviest track Metallica ever did... both lyrically (pure Lovecraft worship) and musically... đ
It's definitely up there but I think although it's faster Blackened maybe heavier
âThe heaviest number known to man kindâ
@@samrudroff9543 A very Lovecraftian way of putting it.. đ
@@cbn6635 thatâs how Jason Newsted anounced it during the live at Seattle in 89 đ
23:48
Metallica were on fire in the 80s. Still enjoy their stuff now, but they set the bar incredibly high with their first four albums (and to some extent The Black Album). Sad that this was the last album with Cliff before he passed away later that year.
Metallica was on fire in Montreal '92, during 80's they were on booze and coke /sarcasm
5th grade. The 1st album I ever fell in love with. Made me pick up the guitar. Sanitarium was the first song I ever learned
You ride the lightning, is the master of...and kill 'em all! One of the most passioned music listerner out there. So enjoyable to see.
"The Thing That Should Not Be" and "Call of Ktulu" from Ride The Lightning cement Metallica as Lovecraft fans! 2 of my favorite songs of theirs and both of them are about Lovecraft's Cthulhu!
Thanks â€
You are like THE most likeable reaktor on the planet. Thnx đđ
damage inc is and will always be my fav
Saw them live for the first time in gothenburg last sunday with my dad who saw them for the second time, his first time was in 1993, crazy how time flies. The show ruled
I can see you're into the slow and heavy side of metal. I recommend exploring Doom, Stoner and Sludge Metal. They're the subgenres that have the most Sabbath influence. Pentagram, Candlemass, Trouble, Sleep, Electric Wizard, Saint Vitus, Melvins are some good bands to start with. If you love Sabbath you'll most likely love these bands.
And justice for all!!!
9:45. Being sober, it gives you less moments of intrigue, and exasperation can set in.đŒđżđș
You can't close the circle without ...And justice for all
I follow you since you listened first Heavy Metal song (Black Sabbath), Lokk at you now become a Trash Metal fan :))) What a journey! But you should continue with "...And Justice for All"
First ! Nice reaction
I'm certain you'd love Porcupine Tree. They can make a 17 minute song like Anesthetize work and even really put you on a journey. One of my all time favorites.
Probably the 1988 album 'And justice for all' by Metallica... worth checking out! đ The album was progressively longer, lacked a bass sound, and was brutal - one of their biggest albums of the Metallica catalog.
If u react to Metallica's 1996 album 'Load'... u will likely be shocked, cos it sounds nothing like Metallica of 1986 (They cut their hair... the songs on the record are not 'thrash metal'... hell, it's not even a metal record!) The 90's were just a weird time cos 80's bands were trying to fit into the 'grunge' and 'alternative' rock scene that was popular... and Metallica were making million$ at that point and wanted to play something closer to Alice In Chains, Oasis and even Lynyrd Skynyrd...
I remember when this first came out⊠I had previously heard the Ride the Lightning album and was blown away (Fight fire with fire was the first Metallica song I heard) I never heard anything that heavy before. I rode my bike many miles away to the mall to buy MOP cassette! Iâll never forget the day Cliff passes and the sadness of the local metal scene (I live around the SF Bay Area). Many people were crying, It was a devastating loss that is hard to describe since Metallica at the time was the voice and emotions of us young rockers who saw them as the heroes of the day. We all lost something irreplaceable.
I've been trying to find a weak moment of this album for decades....haven't been able to.
What a f..king masterpiece. I remember i was approximately at Kira's age, when i first listened to 'Master of Puppets' back in 1986. And i had the same reaction:)
The best album by Metallica on mi opinion just a đmasterpiece đ€đ¶đ„
You Must get Tickets to 72 seasons tour.. 72 in my opinion has the vide of the early stuff. I just seen them at Downloaded UK. Still full of so much energy.
Leper Messiah is so very underrated!
A lot of Orion was actually lifted from green manalishi by fleetwood Mac. Early fleetwood Mac with Peter green before they went all soft rock are definitely worth a listen Kira.
This is it. This is my absolute favorite album - of all time. Orion is my favorite from this record.
Watching a first reaction like this helps me remember how much I enjoy this entire record.
Uno de los mejores album de la historia del metal
12:53 - I haven't heard The Thing That Should Not Be in years and it's funny, just the way these riffs chug along it reminds me of how Jerry Cantrell (Alice In Chains guitarist) does his sludgier stuff. Probably a big influence on him.
Love master of puppets but the perfect listen all the way Metallica album is...and justice for all. I would love to see a country music reaction Kira it's almost as varied as Metal.
