I know it's been about 2 years since that release but .... I posted this topic to express my disgust for this "album" (GOD forgive me) Although I am a huge fan of Metallica, this is the worst album I have ever heard in my life. I really can't find something worse. I even believe that Load/Reload were "ok". What is your opinion? My apologies if this thread has occured in the past |

Really, I'm sick of Metallica and all their BS. Their music got old for me a long time ago and I find them totally over rated. I didn't bother picking up this album, and probably never will pick up any other Metallica album, but from I've heard from it, I think it's crap. But I love all the St. Anger bashing, so let's just hope for another Metallica album in the vein of St. Anger.  |

Yes, in that the snare was replaced with a big red rubber dodgeball. *POOOONG! POOOONG* I think Bob Rock needs to be given the hugest Uber Wedgie of all time for contributing to the ruin of one of the most influential metal bands of the entire genre. I'm all for bands evolving, I just don't dig where thy went, personally. Also, I think that when a band start sounding like the bands _they've_ influenced (Slipnot, Korn, etc.)... it's time to pack it in. ------------- Pure Brilliance:

I prefer St. Upid. I couldn't believe my ears when I heard Load (of Crap) - what drivel!!! Metallica's first 4 albums showed a clear path of re-invention and re-definition both of the band and the entire Metal genre. Even the 5th is revolutionary in many ways. What is revolutionary about Load? It's dry, boring, ordinary Rock music. If it was done by anyone else, it wouldn't have sold as well - I bought it through curiosity - the early stuff had been brilliant, what would that sound like? I needn't have bothered - I felt stitched up. I still think it's crap more than 10 years later. And St. Anger is better than Load or Reload (Two Loads of Crap!), but it's not even nearly as radical or progressive as the early material. And I don't like it either. It's stupid!

IT'S A BIG DISAPPOINTMENT! Being a fan of their older works (from Kill Em All to the black one), this shattered my expectations of Metallica going back to their more interesting ways. My reasons are as follows: - Nu-Metal sounding. - Poor production. - NO GUITAR SOLOS! |

It probably got more recognition than it deserved, simply because it was released by Metallica (it's Metallica, so it must be good...). If any other band had released this I think it would have been received much worse. |

I always liked every Metallica album, from the thrashy early days to the most commercial releases of the mid 90s. When "St Anger" came out, I was expecting a mix of "Kill Them All" and the Black album... and got this bulls**t instead. Sound is horrible, production is horrible... I've not seen anything worse since except Annihilator's "Waking The Fury". If someone wants to hear what should have been the real follow-up to the Load/Reaload albums, try Paradise Lost's "Symbol Of Life". ------------- Destiny... Infinity... Eternity... |

I enjoyed it, I gotta say. Sure, it was no "...AND JUSTICE FOR ALL" or "MASTER OF PUPPETS". Sure; they're great albums, but if you want those, go listen to them. Someone said that Metallica is always changing, and I can see that. KILL EM ALL: Mostly speedy, with no time to catch one's breath. RIDE THE LIGHTNING: Quiet, melancholic parts mixed with speedier onslaughts. MASTER OF PUPPETS: No doubt; one of the greatest metal discs of all time. RIDE THE LIGTNING and KILL EM ALL times 5. ...AND JUSTICE FOR ALL: The lyrics are better, as is the music. A quantum leap in quality up from MOP. METALLICA: Their mainstream breakthrough; more commerical, shorter, more melodic songs, but a lot of thought went into them. I can tell these were well-written tunes, with huge hooks. No wonder it sold a pantload. LOAD/RE-LOAD: I didn't get 'em, simply because they sounded like a step DOWN in quality. What happened to the melody? ST. ANGER: Awful production, but well-written songs. If you're gonna dump on one, you might as well dump on all of 'em. The production AND writing credits read "Metallica and Bob Rock." So, it's a natural progression. Maybe they'll do...prog-death next time.

That's why I sad what I said. No lead guitar? So bloody what? Has that been in vogue lately? No. Simple riffs? So? Who cares? Listen to it for what it is...a decent album.

Metallica used to be my favorite band a while ago, but now their music has gotten old to me, especially that album. I think Ride the Lightning is better. My problem with Master of Puppets is mainly the first three songs.... Battery doesn't flow, Master of Puppets sounds constipated and drags on for too long, and The Thing That Should Not Be sounds retarded, IMO. And I prefer Fade to Black over Welcome Home. But I really like Disposable Heroes (my favorite Metallica song), Leppar Messiah is ok, Orion is brilliant (mostly on Cliff's part), and Damage Inc. is good. And the whole tone of the album, as usual for Metallica, sounds really anal. Of course, my opinion doesn't change the fact that it's one of the greatest metal albums, but I think it's over hyped and I've heard much better, IMO. |

Hyped; no doubt. It took a while to grow on me. I didn't see what the fuss was all about. But the more I listened to it, the more intrigued I was. It IS an important disc beause it was one of the forerunners of thrash, along with PEACE SELLS BUT WHO'S BUYING and REIGN IN BLOOD. ------------- Some world views are spacious, and some are merely spaced... |

I like "St. Anger", a furious and extremely RAW album, where is evidently the problems of James Hetfield with alcohol and the crisis the band had before they release this album.
It has an unique guitar and drum sound, very trashier, not so rock as "Load" and "Re-Load".
Sometimes it makes madly bang my head. But the problem is that it has not guitar solos, as some of you said before.
So: "IF THIS ALBUM HAD GUITAR SOLOS, IT'D BE EXCELLENT, JUST LIKE ON THE EARLY DAYS ...."
 I hope their next album to be like a return to the origins, and if it has the "St. Anger" sound, it's OK. It'll be out this year, I can't wait !!

I used to be a HUGE Met fan. I even liked "Load" and "ReLoad".
"St. Anger" is the first truly dishonest album they ever did. It's supposed to be angry, but it all sounds forced. The songs are their least inventive ever. ("Some Kind Of Monster" has, what, ONE CHORD?)
And drums are not supposed to go CLANG. Unless you're Einsturzende Neubauten.
It is time for them to call it quits and go back to counting their money.

garbage drums. That's WHY it's good! And I agree with those in this thread who have said "bands who try something new get dissed". It's all too true. Sorry folks, Metallica is not going to make the same album over and over. If you want old Metallica, LISTEN to old Metallica... |

I somehow hate it, but still love it.
Invisible kid is great! And The Unnamed Feeling, and Frantic and St. Anger, and other..
It is clearly same old Metallica, listen macrostructure! And it's also different. Zeuhl :) But I think album deserve little high voices - drums: ride, for example. Or crazy woman screaming (singing). It's almost boring, underground (also like they were playing underground), but still electonic. But i think that is one of the points in that album. It's sovereign. Although, i find something good on everything. But also something bad. In conclusion, i like it, it's better than most music in the radio, but it's not best of metallica or best for me. 2,8 stars -------------

The St Anger album was a total disappointment for me. Kirk Hammet isn't the best guitarist in heavy metal, but I surely missed his solos here. And Hetfield's vocals are worse than on any previous albums. ANGER indeed but not the case to mess up his vocals. I don't know what kind of drums Ulrich was playing but they have a pretty awful sound. There are some catchy riffs and some good ideas but they kinda get lost along the way.
I do like two songs though that, in my humble opinion, stand up from the rest: Unnamed Feeling and Invisible Kid.

It's better than Load or Reload, but still very samey and lacking in experimentation: It seems like a lazy album to me, with no real passion - which is why I don't like it.
And since my brother gave me the DVD of "The Making of", I have much less respect for the band than I did after I heard they were joining the RIAA in their clampdown of music "pirates" - and that takes some doing. They were amazing before "Load". ------------- The important thing is not to stop questioning. |

Hetfield needs to start f**king palm muting some riffs again(more than he did on St. Anger) , it sounds like muddy crap when you play that many power chords without something do chop up the sound, and the drop tuning doesn't exactly help with this problem. -------------

| Most likely the New Metallica album will sound slightly better, but still sound like Lars saying how much downloading sucks. |

Heard it a long time ago, I remember almost nothing about it. The album cover's pretty crummy, though. It's the angry red fist of angry anger... IT'S ANGGGRRRYYYYY!

It´s a piece of sh*t, and Metallica has delivered a lot of sh*t since Load (I would even say that the Black album is a great great album!) but St Anger takes the cake

It's a good cd.
Obviously not Metallica's best, and I don't think anyone elses favourite, but overall it's a good record.
Take out the crappy drum sound, no solos, and rather simple cover, and you've got some badass riffing moments. Frantic, St. Anger, Some Kind of Monster, Shoot Me Again, Sweet Amber and The Unnamed Feeling are all really good songs.
