| Easy poll this time, since Metallica was once considered Prog, they should be in this part of the world. Vote and post, its easy really... Just two choices. |

| Worst cd ever? no. Worst Metallica album? yes. Terrible album? most assuredly. |

I thought the song "St . Anger" was incredible and almost seemed a
little proggy; very rough and awesome. I haven't heard the rest of the
album , but I heard clips and it sounds pretty crappy.

No one can say an album is "THE WORST CD EVER", but I'm sure St. Anger is one of the worst out there, and more than an incredibly bad and disastrous CD, this is one of the biggest disappointments in music ever. I voted YES, it deserves it. ------------- Autenticidad, actitud, pluralidad, espiritu e inteligencia, si es prog bien, si no, tambien. |

It seemed like Metallica was trying to get back at fans for downloading their music. Either that or Hetfield really has lost the creative gift that went into their classic stuff in the past. ------------- Eternity |

HAHA, indeed this very morning I was thinking about my metallica collection and how sad the decline was. I actually used to like Load and ReLoad, but then one day I just gave up on them. As for St Anger, I believe I actually thought to myself, word for word, "Worst album ever" ...although in all honesty, there's got to be something worse. as long as Ludacris is still rapping, there will be albums worse than St. Anger. ------------- http://www.myspace.com/altaic" rel="nofollow - http://www.myspace.com/altaic ALTAIC "Oceans Down You'll Lie" coming soon |

Worst Metallica CD, YES, definitley. Worst of ALL time? Dont think so.. Virtually ANY Rap (spelt with a silent 'c' my friends) would easily be less listenable for me. |

Wow,while I don't think St. Anger is their best album,I like it.After crap like the Black album,Load and Reload I thought it was cool that they went back to a heavier sound.But it's still no Ride the Lightning,Master of Puppets or And Justice for All. -------------  |

| I f**king love it! Maybe I'm the only one, but I always here so much energy and power when I play that album. Definately their worst album, but hey, I like 'em all (Even Load and Reload have high points). |

| I think that St Anger is a great album, I love it! I prefer it to the "Black" album. I think it was quite a brave album and they got totally bashed for it. |

I like St. Anger, although I think that the production is too trashy. Of course the "trashiness" was deliberate, but I think it was just way over the top. Also, the rhythm guitars are terribly out of tune ... every professional guitarist SHOULD know that when downtuning, you have to use stronger strings to maintain the proper tension. ------------- https://awesomeprog.com/users/Mike" rel="nofollow">Recently listened to:

Agreed.
Worst album ever - no way Worst Metallica album - yes (although ReLoad comes close) every great band deserves a bad album though. |

I think mettalica is pretty sh*tty. They blow pretty hard to be honest. The question I have is when was Mettalica considered progressive? Or more of a question is how were the considred progressive, I mean what dumbass thought that up? ------------- And The Meek Shall Inherit The Earth |

I think it is not even Metallicas worst, as I would go with Load. Definitely not a good album, but not the worst ever thats for sure. ------------- http://www.last.fm/user/Philrod/?chartstyle=Geldropdown-small">

| I'm not a Metallica fan, but you can get a one CD(-r) full of great tracks from their 80's career. Their "re-loads" and "whiskies in a jar" are terrible. Compared to these St.Anger is a masterpiece (IMO). |

It's NOT the worst CD ever! There are probably 2.000.000 CD's that is worse than this. I like the album but it's nothing compared to "Black Album" and "Master of Puppets". ------------- RIO/AVANT/ZEUHL - The best thing you can get with yer pants on! |

When I heard St. Anger, my first reaction involved wanting to punch the
producer and engineer that thought "We've got the snare sounding like
exactly like a rubber dodge ball rebounding off a brick wall...
PERFECT!"  My second reaction was... when you make an album that's so obviously an attempt to sound like the bands you originally _influenced_ (Slipknot, Mudvayne, etc.)... it's time to f**king wrap it up. HORRIBLE album. I'm sure there's worse, though. ------------- Pure Brilliance:

I think one album of theirs is progressive metal,and that is And Justice for All.That album is prog metal IMHO.Especially the songs And Justice for All and Eye of the Beholder. ------------- |

Well, St Anger (what a name for a CD...) deserve a 0/10 note, but a lot of album also get that note... I think nothing will ever top the sh*it that came out of the 80's... ------------- Vive le Québec libre!... |

I had worse. Like Arcturus "disguised masters" To me the best Metallica album is "And Joustice For All" then "Master...", "St.Anger" really sucks it`s a big, smelly pile of sh*t and I hate it , but as I said I had worse. So the question should be: Is "St.Anger" the worst Metallica CD? I think more would wote "Yes" then |

NO, loaded was their worst by
far since it was the one bringing all the "transformation shock".. I
remember my uncle got it for my birthday (by accident, he was supposed
to get the black album I had lost) and I said, what the heck, I 'll
listen to it... and then I realised I was swinging from one side to the
other as if I was listening to Greenday. Not that And Justice For All was a great album either, it was all about death and doom and apart from the a.j.f.a. song and one, the rest were merely catastrophic. At least those days they didn't paint their nails black or wear make up and eye-liner lol ------------- http://www.etherealstatus.info - http://www.etherealstatus.com |

album(Not too big of a fan anyways), but one of the worst albums I've
ever heard that is/was very popular. |
