Definitely, and it started before that really. Seasons In The Abyss is very pop in a lot of ways. Lot's of catchy lyrics and riffs on Reign In Blood too. Same can easily be said about Metallica. They started doing a lot more with every album as well after Kill Em All. I'd just say that Slayer doing metal beats Metallica, and Slayer doing rock beats Metallica.

Metallica had melody and hooks in Kill 'Em All. That is one of the best reasons I love that album; metal meeting melody and hooks, which is the reason they are supposedly that big band that changed it all - not just thrash, I tell ya. You might not notice it if you're more into that raw metal sound, but it's definitely there. Like with Diabolus in Musica, Metallica always had that catchiness to their music. And that is probably why you do not like them.

I love raw energy, and I love catchy tunes, along with melody. It's too bad others do not so much, but that's why old Slayer is there; for those who aren't too into the mold that Metallica went for...

What? When I think of pop, I think of simple song structure meant to be catchy and easily digestible to a mass audience. This is kind of an open ended definition, but I wouldn't call Metallica's eighties or Slayer's material pop. Otherwise you're just talking about pop in the sense of music that isn't classical music.

I love Slayer, they are the one metal band that comes to mind that has sounded the same for 20+ years. On the other end if that I love Metallica because they can adapt to different genres. Who knows maybe Tom Araya has a beautiful voice and could do the same but I would rather not know.

Being boring is a capital offense in metal. If this were Indie rock it'd just make them mediocre, but it's the greatest sin in metal.

His voice isn't suited for any other genre. He sounds like he's still trying to cling to his metal voice while attempting to sing melodically.

That's actually a pretty accurate description of Metallica as a whole, not just his vocals.

So many questions, FTD…

So his voice is suited for no genre. Tell me, what makes his voice unsuitable for rock? Should it be deeper? Do you think he needs more range?

And if its suited for no current genre, is he pushing the bounds of what a genre is? Are you suggesting Metallica is a Prog band? Is James achieving tracendance within some other genre that he’s moved out of?

And what makes him “cling to his metal vocals”? Is he barking, or singing, or is he doing both? Is he the Tuvan throat singer of popular American music? Has he somehow managed to capture the spirit of two different things simultaneously?
