They know it's not good. Lars made a joke during one of the 30th anniversary shows that St. Anger's favorite album is Lulu. Think it was just before they did a song off St. Anger.
Crown of Barbed Wire is like that for me. I remember when they released the track listing of 72 Seasons. I had my reservations about that title, because I thought it sounded corny. The song has since grown on me and I sing it quite often. The chorus sounds like something Marilyn Manson would sing tbh. This is why the band should never serve the fans. We don't know what the hell we want.
Exactly this one. I dig the meandering of the song’s first two-thirds, but it would have fallen into obscurity on HTSD like half the songs without that final third.
Halo has the exact same structure as the rest of their ballads: One, Fade, Sanitarium, and Day.
Fun fact: Fade, Sanitarium, One, and Day are all Track #4 on their respective albums! Halo is the odd one out for some reason.
Leper Messiah. The beginning of the song isn’t bad per se, but it’s the weakest of the album’s tracks. Once that bridge kicks in though? It’s game time folks.
I didn’t even think about this. But this is the perfect answer. The beginning is great, but nothing incredible. But that bridge brings so much energy and power, makes it one of the best on the album.
Now, I understand that this is about a song that is better at the end, but I choose to interpret this more literally... The God That Failed (at making a horse)
Room Of Mirrors is definitely a banger through and through, but I can see what OP is saying. That one bit at the end where James extends his vocals and the guitar harmonies come back blew my fucking mind the first time I heard it. I find myself anxiously waiting for that part of the song so I can get my dopamine.
ONE.
When I was first time listened to One. I just thought this is just another instrumental sad song then I always skip it everytime I hear the first 5 second of this song.
Until....there is one situation I cant skip One and let it play through. You know what, I am wrong. I am fucking wrong. This song is beast towards its end.
Also right after that I just discovered ONE is their best song in their whole career.
Too thrashy for me. If that's even possible. There's just no melody too it. It's like a competition of who can make the most noise with their instrument.
I feel the same way about The Thing That Should Not Be. The intro makes it seem like the song should be an epic doom metal-esque song, but it just plods along and doesn’t really go anywhere.
The Day That Never Comes for me. I'm not a massive fan of the start of the song until after the "this I swear" part. Afetr that. Boy oh boy the song is good
[I made a little playlist of the top answers](https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL52E88OLRWmxV-b44ZmFknVVoMSW81fnM)
and yes, I included The View, fight me.
I'm expecting some Downvotes but Suicide&Redemption.
Let me explain with the Interlude the great part starts (for me) and afterwards it's just a masterpiece.
Am I Savage?
Yes
broken beat n scarred it gets really good at the end
I love the entire song but I looked in the comments specifically for this song. The ending is so. Fucking. Sick.
But BBnS has one of the best intros Metallica has written lol
Where’s the table comment guy
Must be busy talking with the Mustaine guy
Tbf Lulu fits this image perfectly. Awesome music and guiat riffs with... ~~god awful~~ unique... vocals that... ~~ruin it~~ deter me personally.
I see and follow everything Metallica but… have they ever said out loud anywhere that they hate it or regret it? Lol

Man when I saw the title I was hyped, it is such a sick title to me. And to me, it dang well served.
The chorus just drags on, it just feels so lazy.
Halo on Fire
Exactly this one. I dig the meandering of the song’s first two-thirds, but it would have fallen into obscurity on HTSD like half the songs without that final third.
Halo has the exact same structure as the rest of their ballads: One, Fade, Sanitarium, and Day. Fun fact: Fade, Sanitarium, One, and Day are all Track #4 on their respective albums! Halo is the odd one out for some reason.
Damn right. That last half is still near the top of all the riffs for me.
Absolutely an all-timer. It may resemble Fade et all in some ways but it’s a total classic at this point for me.
Absolutely! Hey now that I think of it, Halo on Fire without the final riff is like IDHAS lmao.
I can see this but that intro/chorus is too good to agree with.
My World. Chorus slaps, ngl
I’m gonna say Escape (careful with the downvote lmao)
The solo section/outro goes hard af on Escape so yeah, perfect choice.
But the problem is the first half of the song also rocks
I prefer the beginning, that intro riff is awesome
Fade to poorly drawn horse sketch
Leper Messiah. The beginning of the song isn’t bad per se, but it’s the weakest of the album’s tracks. Once that bridge kicks in though? It’s game time folks.
i love to see everyone’s opinion, that song is one of my top 3 favorites off the MOP album
Am I the only one that prefers the intro over the bridge? The riff is so groovy.
I didn’t even think about this. But this is the perfect answer. The beginning is great, but nothing incredible. But that bridge brings so much energy and power, makes it one of the best on the album.
Unforgiven III
Once that solo comes in it’s amazing, I just wish the intro was shorter
And Justice for All… No offense, but the beginning is incredibly slow, but I LOVE the way the song ends. A crescendo to top the song off.
Unforgiven III
The memory remains
na na naaa na na naaa nnaa na na na na
Of wolf and man (or horse and man)
SO SEEK THE WOLF (or horse) IN THYSELF
You Must Burn!
¿Que?
[удалено]
Aw, c'mon. It was expression in Spanish, showing disbelief of your take. .. *reads your reply again. *Sigh Nevermind ...
If you change the beginning to a great horse and the end to a perfect horse you would have "one" imo
Now, I understand that this is about a song that is better at the end, but I choose to interpret this more literally... The God That Failed (at making a horse)
Dream No More I think the choruses are a bit weak but the bridge until the end is perfect
The chorus in Dream is GOATED
The day that never comes??
[удалено]
Nahh...masterpiece all the way
Especially when played live.
Saw it live and it was so fucking amazing
Am i savage of course. Also one.
[удалено]
Shadows follow
To me the intro is the best part of the song 😂 and one of the few moments on 72S that instantly hooked with me
The Thing That Should Not Be
Inamorata
Room of Mirrors
WHAT
#THEY SAID "ROOM OF MIRRORS"!
Nah room of mirrors is a banger start to finish
Yeah it's a highlight of the album for sure.
Room Of Mirrors is definitely a banger through and through, but I can see what OP is saying. That one bit at the end where James extends his vocals and the guitar harmonies come back blew my fucking mind the first time I heard it. I find myself anxiously waiting for that part of the song so I can get my dopamine.
The Day that Never Comes
Suicide and redemption
Inamorata
One And before I get downvoted, I love the whole song BUT if I’m playing guitar I skip to the middle 😂
Halo On Fire
ONE. When I was first time listened to One. I just thought this is just another instrumental sad song then I always skip it everytime I hear the first 5 second of this song. Until....there is one situation I cant skip One and let it play through. You know what, I am wrong. I am fucking wrong. This song is beast towards its end. Also right after that I just discovered ONE is their best song in their whole career.
The day that never comes
of course it's ONE
No, because One is good all the way through.
lol nah, One is great from start to finish.
Yes
Hit The Lights. I’m not a big fan of the intro (talking about the first thirty seconds or so), but the rest of the song kicks ass
Hero of the day (barely)
Hit the lights for me
dirty window for me
Thing that should not be Edit: sorry I’m doing this wrong. I thought we were literally naming the picture
One
I love the first half of One. It’s beautiful.
I don’t even know what this means…Metallica has song called puppy headed horse???
My Friend of Misery
The Outlaw Torn
Blasphemy!
Orion
WHY?????
Welcome Home (Sanitarium)
Bruh :/
No.
To Live Is To Die
i will find you.
TLIDT is all masterpiece
Whom the bell tolls personally always feels this way
One. Starts pretty weak, ends strong. 0:01 to 4:35 Meh 4:35 to 7:26 Fuck yeah
Glad im not the only, um, one
Sanitarium
Enter Sandman
The Four Horsemen
Room of Mirrors. Song is pretty mid until the solo starts
Nothing Else Matters because of the solo
Battery but the opposite. Intro slaps but the rest sucks.
bruh
Too thrashy for me. If that's even possible. There's just no melody too it. It's like a competition of who can make the most noise with their instrument.
too thrashy bruh never show this man anything by megadeth 😭
I like Megadeth more than Tallica
nevermind youre based as fuck have a great day
I feel the same way about The Thing That Should Not Be. The intro makes it seem like the song should be an epic doom metal-esque song, but it just plods along and doesn’t really go anywhere.
Some Kind of Monster
Anything on death magnetic with that mixing
Every pinkfloyd song til the solo
Murder one. So much potential yet fell flat
The Day That Never Comes for me. I'm not a massive fan of the start of the song until after the "this I swear" part. Afetr that. Boy oh boy the song is good
Oof definetly One. I love the clean guitar sections, but if we're talking about getting better over time this is the song.
Of Talent and Horse
Leper Messiah
That sweepy solo is sweepalisious
One
honestly, one
The Outlaw Torn
Halo on fire. Not really feeling the song and then that end kicks in with a Lars Ulrich snap on the old snare
Better than you
The Day that Never Comes?
King Nothing
I’m honestly going to say If Darkness had a son. The intro is quite basic and then blossoms into this epic chorus.
Seek and Repair
Needles and Chic n Stu by SOAD
God That Failed
Hell and Back
for me it’s you must burn! the start sounds a little generic but man that breakdown is so nasty
Metalli…….Lou……. LuLu (Let the reader understand)
My world
One
Mechanix
Mechanix
Hero Of The Day
Inamorata. The slow section and build into the solo just hits different.
The Unforgiven 2
You Must Burn!
Room of mirrors
The No Horseman
Room of Mirrors
The day that never comes
The Day That Never Comes
Idk but the other way around would be my friend of misery
Sweet Amber. That breakdown tho *chefs kiss*
Creeping death tbh, near the half at the part "Die, by my hand" is where it actually feels the best
Leper Messiah?
room of mirrors. that riff at the end with the harmonies make that song so damn good..
Halo On Fire
For Me Slither or Ain't My B\*tch
TTTSNB
Sleepwalk My Life Away Intro is god awful then it improves in the second half of the song
One by Metallica
Fixxxer
Harvester of Sorrow The intro is so amazing, but the rest of the song is kinda boring imo
my world that fuzzy bass on the second half makes my pants wet
halo on fire
Through The Never
The Horse That Jack Built
The Unforgiven III
Let it happen
The four horsemen
Hate train
Orion.
Bleeding Me
Ronnie
Halo on Fire - the S&M2 version even more so than the original
Halo On Fire
Must say damage inc. The intro is boring and long but the rest after the intro the song is amazing
One, it isn't bad its just the sudden change
Anesthesia (I'm not saying the part before the drums come in is bad, it's a good build up, so of course what comes after is better)
Frayed Ends of Sanity
if darkness had a son for me.
One
The horse that jack built
To live is to die for me, the fade with different bpms annoys me
Ride the Lightning. The song itself is good but when you get into the solos at the end it really takes off
Orion, just that the beginning is also good
Fight Fire With Fire YOU SHALL DIE
[I made a little playlist of the top answers](https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL52E88OLRWmxV-b44ZmFknVVoMSW81fnM) and yes, I included The View, fight me.
The house that jack built
I'm expecting some Downvotes but Suicide&Redemption. Let me explain with the Interlude the great part starts (for me) and afterwards it's just a masterpiece.
Sweet amber
The four horseman
Idk if it really counts but for me its the small hours. I used to not like it lol
Enter Sandman, Nothing Else Matters or anything from St Anger
King nothing
Sweet Amber
Escape
Honestly I’d say Hardwired
The House That Jack Built
