In a shocking turn of events, Eicca Toppinen, the cellist from Apocalyptica, has come out and said that Metallica’s infamous album St. Anger is actually a great album 🤔. We know, we’re all thinking the same thing: “Has Eicca gone crazy? 🤪 Has he finally succumbed to the pressures of playing the cello for too long? 🎻” But hear him out, folks!
In a recent interview with Pipeman Radio, Eicca shared his thoughts on the album, saying: “I think it’s a great album. It’s a really great album.” 🤩 He even went on to say that the album’s raw, lo-fi production is actually a refreshing change from the over-polished music we’re used to hearing today 🎧. We’re not sure what’s more surprising, Eicca’s opinion on St. Anger or the fact that he’s been listening to it a lot recently 🎵.
For those who may not be familiar with St. Anger, it’s the album that Metallica fans love to hate 🤬. Released in 2003, it was met with widespread criticism from fans and critics alike, with many citing its lack of guitar solos, unorthodox sound, and, of course, the infamous “tin can” drum sound 🥁. But Eicca thinks that’s all part of its charm 🤩. He’s even gone so far as to cover the title track on Apocalyptica’s latest album, Apocalyptica Plays Metallica, Vol. 2 🎸.
Now, we know what you’re thinking: “But Eicca, what about all the haters? 🤷♂️ What about Rolling Stone’s list of ’50 Genuinely Horrible Albums By Brilliant Artists’ 📰?” To that, Eicca says, “I understand that people have had difficulties with St. Anger, because the sound was not approachable.” 🤔 But he thinks that’s what makes it so great 🤩. It’s like the album equivalent of a punch in the face 🥊 – it’s raw, it’s honest, and it’s unapologetic 🤬.
Lars Ulrich, Metallica’s drummer, has also defended the album, saying that the band was going for a raw, unedited sound 🎧. And Bob Rock, the album’s producer, has said that both Jimmy Page and Jack White have praised the album 🤩. So, maybe we’ve all just been wrong about St. Anger this whole time 🤦♂️. Maybe it’s actually a genius album that’s ahead of its time 🕰️.
In conclusion, Eicca Toppinen thinks St. Anger is a great album, and we’re all just wrong 🤯. But hey, being wrong has never been so much fun 🎉. So, go ahead and give St. Anger another listen 🎧. You might just find yourself headbanging along to “Frantic” or “St. Anger” 🤘. And who knows, you might just discover a new favorite album 🎵. 🤪🎸🔥
