That's why the snare sounds like a knife going through your ears.

People can't learn to respect the fact that this album, as well as every other album they have made, is a reflection of how they feel at the time. The album has great raw sound but its real heavy too. The lyrics were great... Amazing to see these guys still given it their all at 40... ****in HEAVY.

If you hear like frantic live with rob playing bass all you can hear is the bass.. It is so powerful in that song live.

wow all i hear is little whiny b***ches copmlaining that it isnt old school metallica....DUH they are 40+ years old, and havent been "metal" since ...and justice for all. so...take the album for what it is, not for what you think it should be

And all I hear is 14-year olds complaining about the opinions of those who prefer metallica's older, and IMO, better, material. The album doesn't meet what they know and love Metallica as, and I think the opinions of the people who know what they used to be like are the ones that matter. We buy the albums for metallica, not some mess of a band that became FUBAR after ...AJFA.

Nice, I caught that.

But anyway, for all the lameass whiners who complain about there being no solos, who gives a shit? The solo is not even half of what makes the song. Don't get me wrong, the songs like, One, Master of Puppets, Battery, all have sick solos, and I appreciate that. So do most people. But thats not the point, assclowns. The point is just to make a kick ass song, and see what gives. The solo is just for kicks, more or less. Making a solo is retards work, no thought involved. Two handed tapping, accending and decending, then go up really high, do some bends, add some wah, maybe even some whammy if you feel like it. But to write the actual meat and bones of the song is twice as important. Having a sick solo is like having a massive dong. sure, it'd be NICE, but you don't really need one.

And for any of you who watched the documentary on how they made the album, "Some Kind of Monster", you'd realize that they all said that after the songs were all made and shit, they tried to put in the solos, but they sounded out of place and really shitty.

So basically, you dirty ****ers, who can't get on with your daily ****ing lives without a solo, **** off! Keep on listening to all the old stuff, (which is much better, i'll give you that ) and have a massive shit in your pants when they come out with another album, and when one of the songs has no solo, go crying to your mom, with you 80's "Flock of Seagulls" hairdo, and bitch and complain then. You're just stuck in the ****ing 80's, get over it (well, so am I, but not that much). Metallica will always > you and all your other bands. Get with the program, this is 2007 for ****'s sake! (Happy New Years, btw)

Yeah im all for songs with no Solo's but this is Metallica for crying out loud, and thats Kirk Hammett on lead guitar, they call it lead guitar for a reason and if i have to explain that reason you all need to be shot. I think the thing that annoys poeple the most is not just the fact theres no solo's in the album, as though they couldnt stand to listen to a song with no solo's but the fact that this album came out in 2003 which was a time when a lot of Nu Metal bands were at thier greatest and Nu Metal songs tend to have no solo's and slow/mid tempo heavy thundering riffs, just like Metallica on the album St.Anger

Yup i think i understand what you're trying to say, like people are more angered by the fact they sold out than the fact they have no solo's.

This is a great album - so they experimented, wrote different sorts of songs etc, WHO CARES?!

In terms of Metallica's work, this album is a letdown. They have done much better and I still believe they can get back to their more talented works even if they keep this more modern style.

In terms of the whole of mainstream music at the moment, this is a high. In a world where our radio waves echo with nothing but washed out modern rock, hollow pop, and depressing pseudo-punk bullshit this album rocks it all to shit.

(At least that's my opinion)

It doesn't matter what happened with Napster or whether you feel they sold out after AJFA or if St. Anger sucks to you. If you are a diehard Metallica fan like you all preach then show them respect for what they have accomplished. Can you say the same musically for yourself ? I know I can't but at the end of the day after reading these reviews and these comments I know Metallica rocks either way.

Dude you are insane. I would like you to right now put on "The Thing That Should Not Be" and sing along. His range and control is overlooked because of his unusual tone and vocal distortion style. Hetfield sings his ASS off on Master of Puppets and sounds incredible. He doesn't sound so hot now but don't tell me could never sing!

I won't lie to you guys, I can't be bothered to type up a long comment regarding what I think of those who say stupid stuff like "Metallica sold out"... Instead, let me just say this, something that's been said hundreds upon hundreds of times, but some people still fail to realize it: The band is getting old. Their older music was written by younger, admittedly less mature individuals; as they've changed over time, their musical styles have changed with them. Don't just rip on their new stuff because it's different, it's still Metallica.

St Anger, is the album in question. Definitely Some good songs, but in my opinion I found that the songs went from Fast and up beat to an almost sudden stop like in St anger when James starts to sing " St Anger round my neck ". If they would have put less " slow " parts in the songs and Replaced a few of them with solos the album would be Amazing.

In my opinion, is the old metallica better? HELL YES. Am i gonna hate newer metallica because its different? HELL NO. METALLICA OWNS.

Okay so, this song i found, Chains of pain. I really dont know if its metallica or not. I found it on limewire while looking for some of their newer stuff and i found this. " Metallica-New Album-Chains of pain". I honestly have no idea if thats really metallica because if so then James is doing screamo. But I've looked it up and i cant find any artists that sing this song.

So, in my opinion. If this is NEW METALLICA? ; HOLY SH*T, RIGHT F*CKING ON BOYS!

If this isnt Metallica; Who the hell!?

If solos don't fit in the songs...Then maybe the songs aren't worth having. I mean, face it. They are hardly musical masterpieces!

It annoys me how people say that this album sux and that they 'threw it out after just one listen.' This album needs a few listens and I GUARANTEE you will learn to love it!

This band can do no wrong and i'm glad their hardships created this masterpiece. Especially after watching 'Some Kind of Monster' I appreciated this album much more after realising how close we were to never getting it.

One other thing, don't blame Bob Rock. Metallica are big enough to not need to succumb to what the producer wants. Besides, even if it is Bob Rock's "fault", that means he got them on a new creative path that in my opinion truly showcases their diversity.

lol. There really is something to be said for coherence. If you think Metallica is the best band out there, you really haven't heard much; and if you think that mass consumption is a sign of quality, you are sadly, sadly mistaken. Au Contraire, there is plenty of reason to say "bullsh*t" about Metallica, just too little time to say it all.

Lyrics: 6.1 - The lyrics are awesome and deep, 'nuf said.

Impression: 6.4 - I might agree on this one... Or at least I understand why it is rated 6.4, although I loved the impression of the album.

if any other band would have come up with something lie this then it would be considered their best work.

also, they tried to put solos on this record but they didn't sound good.

is your viewpoint different.
i thought this album was alright.
i dont think its nearly as bad as everyone puts out.
it is a very aggressive record. that was the goal.
the sound quality sucks, that was its goal.

get over it
metallica is not dead
go see em live.
they're alive and thriving.
and i cant wait for the new album.

and to be honest
the songs on this album are pretty fun to play.

Another small detail you might want to reconsider before spewing your ringer is the situation the band was in at the time of St.Anger. They were so ****ed! Look at "some kind of monster". Hardly a band thats stable. They go from "what ****in' intamacy??" to group hugs!

Im going to stick my neck out and say that the next album will piss all over "St.Anger", will have all you fakes scrambling to say "oh, i knew they'd come round eventually" and if im wrong so what? I'll still love this band. The ammount of postive things Metallica has given us compared to the negative is massive. If anyone in this columm can say that Metallica's music hasnt in some way brightend up their lives then what are you doing here? Just dissing a band you dont like? Get a life.

I think you're mistaking their new exercise in pro-tooled backpeddling for their old material (which I can only assume you haven't heard). Listen to Hit the Lights and tell me what that fire in Hetfield's voice is if not pure passion. No, the difference is that back in the day they had talent and songwriting ability, and now they've lost both those things quite completely.

Also, don't be a dick and bring Cliff into this. You are in no position to state a dead man's opinion for him, and to be fair, neither are any of the detractors who try and use him to support themselves. You obviously need to work on your "open-mindedness" though, since you don't seem able to appreciate the fact that just because some people won't gobble up every turd thrown to them, doesn't mean they can't be open-minded.

Yes, this album was raw and passionate. But it could've been raw and passionate with actual good songs and lyrics. Going for a raw sound isn't an excuse to make crap songs.

This album thoroughly annoyed me... the snare, the lack of solos (which usually wouldn't be a big deal... but this is Metallica!), I don't really mind the production quality, but the lyrics were definitely lacking (in fact, the lyrics were what annoyed me most. "Fuck it all and no regrets, I hit the lights on these dark sets"... does that sound familiar to anyone? Damage Inc. maybe? Or, perhaps, Hit the Lights?). The only thing that I can think of that I enjoyed was Hetfield's passionate vocals.

And yes, I agree with Nightstrider. Leave Cliff out of this. Nobody gets to decide what his opinion is. I know he can't tell us what his opinion is, but that doesn't mean that everyone else gets to decide for him.

Heres a fact for everyone - 90% of Metallica fans refuse to believe that the band can do any wron. Most people's reply to that is 'You're just saying that because you like Megadeth'. Yeah, I like Megadeth - I also like Kreator, Exumer, Sodom, Coroner, Onslaught, Exodus and Heathen. Just because I like Megadeth doesn't mean I don't like Metallica too, but in all honesty they only have two truely great albums (RtL and AJFA). Metallica fanboys need to pull their heads away from Metallica's collective penis and smell the coffee already.

Firstly, there's the people who say, "True Metallica fans should still like Metallica no matter what type of music they make". This is total crap. So if I want to consider myself a true Metallica fan, am I supposed to like every single album they make, even if they (god forbid) decide to make a freaking britney spears style pop album? Think about what you're saying. If a band changes it's style too far away from the style that their fans love, well that's reason enough for their fans to not like one of their albums. I'm not saying that a band doesn't have a right to change their style, but if they do, their fans are free to stop liking them, and should be able to do so without you *******s judging them for not being true fans.

Secondly, there's the people who say that this is the greatest metallica record alongside MoP, or just behind MoP. I assure you, half of these people don't like MoP that much, otherwise they'd probably put St. Anger behind their other classics like AJFA and RtL. They just want to try to avoid being flames, and know that MoP is considered to be Metallica's greatest album by so many people. Imo, if you like St. Anger:
1. I don't understand how you can actually like this album, but
2. At least grow some balls and admit that you like it more than Metallica's classics. In my eyes, doing this is more respectful than hiding behind popular opinions to sheild yourself from flaming.

lol you clearly don't "love" everything that metallica has done.

I agree that the black album got boring. It's very unimpressive when compared to the albums that came before it.

I like a few songs off Load... but overall I didn't like it that much at all. Same deal with Reload, except Load was marginably better.

There's only one song that I'll admit is actually pretty good on St. Anger, and that's Sweet Amber. Imho, by far the best song on the album. Everything about it is so intense. But it would've been twice as sweet with one of Kirk's infamous wah abusing solo's.

RIP cliff indeed. Originality, creativity and talent, he had it all.

Music is Music no matter what it is and its up to no one to say wat is good or bad since music is not based on science or ethics so there is not "right or wrong".....

Opinions are welcome but they hav to hav some ground they should not just be,"This album sucks" or even,"this album is great" they should widen up on it more.....

for my personal opinion i thought st. anger was not a great performance..... from some other band it wud have been ok but from metallica,the kings of metal,it was mediocre... still it is worth anyones time....

Oh and darkfalco, well said....

Anyway, screaming =/= talent as a vocalist. imo, I don't mind his voice... but if your only argument to how good his voice is "omg he can scream! lolwut!", it's a pretty damn weak argument.

I've said it before and I'll say it again: People who hate this album are still true metallica fans. When a band changes their style a lot, people can stop liking that style while still liking the older style that they used to have. A lot of people don't like their ears to bleed whenever they put on an album from their favourite band, which is why a lot of metallica fans don't like this album.

btw the lyrics suck. It doesn't matter whether you know what they were going through or not, they were incredibly weak. The lyrics you just posted, "wash your back so you won't stab mine", is quite possibly the best lyrics on the album, and it's not even that clever. Very under metallica's usual standard. Epic lyrics would be stuff like "For Whom the Bell Tolls". Check out those rhyming patterns in that song... it's epic. "Take a look to the sky just before you adie, it's the last time you will! Blackened roar, massive roar fills the crumbling sky, shattered goal fills his soul with a ruthless cry". That is what you call awesome lyrics.

i totaly agree with u when u say that the lyrics and the album itself isnt the best of metallica, anyone would say that..and i agree, for whoms lyrics is in my opinion one of hetfields shining efforts in lyrics.but i do disagree that the lyrics suck. ther not that bad at all.. everyone writes lyrics based on there feelings n stuff, and at that time, they probably felt that those wer the best lyrics they could come up with.. even know ther not the best, you still gota give them a pat on the back for it, i dont even know why your hatin on them, id like to u see you try n become as big as metallica or any band, i dont think anyone should be talkin shit about any band and there lyrics n music if they cant do better.. if you can, then be my guest.

All I have to say is that, for a Metallica album, St. Anger is not very good. But as a Rock/Metal album, it is very good. If any other band was to put out this album, like a band that just came out or whatnot, this album would be praised. At least that's how I feel about it. It's definitely listenable, and pretty cool to have in the car.
I would Have to agree with you there, But lets look at this as a metal album, not a metallica album, it has awesome sounding riffs, the drums are almost perfect, they compliment the vocals and guitar perfectly, James's voice isn't the best, not exactly The black album or master of puppets (my personal faves)and the lyrics do kinda suck, but hey, i would say go and buy this if u want a pretty good metal album, but if ur looking for heavy fast paced metallica don't bother too much with this album. overall I'd say it's pretty good, some bad points and some good points, 7/10

Really, I've listened to a few songs, and while it's not vintage Metallica, it's still alright. I'd probably give the album around a 5 or 6. It's just different.

Most of these reviews didnt help me, either you liked it, or you didnt. Some kinda helped cause the people writing didnt sound totaly biased, I havent heard it yet and am debating weather to buy or not so... buy it!!!! i bought it when it came out. lost the cd and had to download it because i loved it so much. it is probably one of my favorite metallica albums for the simple fact that it is just raw and heavy. i've listened to every metallica song a few times. i love them all because they are different aspects of the same band. everyone loves led zeppelin but forgets that they were partly a country band. if you listened to all of their stuff. As for the "drums being annoying" ya theyre supposed to sound like that. the entire band didnt want a perfect sound. they took as few takes as possible and some of the being first takes.

I don't think he uses a steel snare, maybe wood but that wouldnt make the snare sound like this. They didnt screw up the snare or anything they just turned it off like how alot of bands do. I think its just the mixing thats bad and the snare sound louder. Listen to children of bodom, they have their snare turned off but they don't get flamed. It's just that the mixing is bad, the music however is brilliant.

sound quality: it sound like it was recorded in a tunnel. i know it was recorded at an old military base, but they couldve used better equipment to fix that.

NO SOLOS: wtf is tht? no solos from metallica? thats a sin against nature. they are way to skilled to just skip out on solos. frantic would be alot better if it had a guitar solo. same with st. anger.

I bought St. Anger the day it came out and was pissed off by the time I got halfway through it. I chucked it on the shelf and didn't listen to it anymore.

Death Magnetic came out and rekindled my interest in my old favorite band. It quickly became my favorite Metallica album, surpassing even Justice and Puppets.

Last week, I decided to listen to St. Anger again. I have no idea why... I just saw it there on my playlist and hit it. I was blown away by how badass it was. Maybe it's because Magnetic gave me that old-school fix I needed, but I was finally able to appreciate the balls-to-the-wall ass-kicking this album delivers.

Before you flame me, I totally understand why some people hate the album. It's okay to hate it. But if you haven't listened to it since it came out... give it another shot. Your tastes may have changed. I know mine did!

Unfortunately, now he’s forgotten how to play solos.

It kind of made them seem human for once, in general for me my favorite muscians seem more than that, mostly because i have no personal connection with them.

It is probably a nice life having all the money, but it seems to have taken a toll on all of them and I can understand why St. Anger sounded so different.

They were going through a turbulant time in their lives and careers, and I know they are fine now but had i watched this upon its release i would have thought they were going to break up.

As for no solos Kirk even comments how he doesn't like it not because he doesn't get to shine, but because it makes it something that metallica isn't. And if anyone does not realize it both James and Kirk play solos, Kirk just plays more because he is the lead guitarist.

I still can comprehend why people use the stupid Wah pedal argument, its a signature sound he doesn't use it all the time and he plays solos that sound good. Thats why i think he is good, often times a lot is lost with speed and he can incorporate both.

I'm not saying he is the best guitarist ever but claiming who is best is just a stupid argument, because no one really is the best as everyone has different opinions. I have guitarists I like and ones I don't but the ones I do not like I don't believe to suck, i just dont like listning to them, its taste.

Anyway, I think this album got a lot of uneeded hate, I used to harp on it until i really listned to it for a second time and got the story straight. It changed my opinions on a lot of them, for the better in some cases.

I think everyone is extremely polar in their opinions but maybe thats the way the internet is. Everyone seems so content on hating everything, I honestly do not know how some people havn't died from soo much anger. I don't like some music, but I try hard not to go bash it, its a hard thing to understand why some people may like it and you don't i struggle with it, but in the end am much happier.

Of course I also don't believe most of the people who hate to have sat through all the tracks and went through 'supposed torture'. Usually if I don't like a track I just change it, problem solved and move on.

But anyway its all my opinion and people are entitled to hate and criticize how they please, just my view on things.

I wish Rob did some bass solos on the album. Like how Cliff did.
Cliff has played two bass solos: Pulling Teeth and Orion (has actually two of them). And if you count the bassline of The Call of Ktulu and For Whom the Bell Tolls as a bass solo... Bass solos are overrated. Cool bass licks are the stuff. And that's what Cliff and Jason did. And Rob doesn't even play on this album.

It is a mortifyingly bad album, Metallica's collective mid-life crisis forever captured on disc and digital.

If not for "Lulu", StA would be the very worst recording Metallica ever made.

That's so true what you said. People hate the album because they want to hate it. It's easier to hate music that you really like than like music that you really hate. But if you have an open mind and don't think that "this is Metallica and if it's not as good album as Master of Puppets, it sucks." I haven't really listened to this album. I have heard some tracks, not really a fan of them but I still respect Metallica. And some people hate Load and Reload. I have heard some songs and I have liked them. They may not sound like Metallica but they are good songs. It's a good thing that Metallica can change their style unlike Slayer for example. All their songs sound the same and they have not changed their style (that's not a bad thing but it's great that some bands can change their style and still make good music). I think good musicians should respect every artist even if they hated their music (and by respect I mean that if you don't like it, don't comment that "Justin Bieber sucks," just don't listen if you don't like). Not everybody has the same music taste as you do. There's no such thing as "good music" or "bad music," it depends on who's listening to the music.

And about Kirk: He has very recognizable style so that's a good thing. Even though he over uses some licks and wah pedal, he still has his signature style that some guitarists don't have. And isn't it a good thing when you hear the first note of the song or solo and can tell that this is Metallica or Kirk Hammett? It means that the band has their own style. And I have started to respect all the guitarists that play in a band. I have noticed how good they really are. People bash Kirk Hammett but I think he's much better than almost anybody here in UG. If you have played in a band, you'll notice the same things as I have.

As a stand alone album it's quite good. Drum sound is annoying, some tracks ar too long and repetive a la Invisible Kid, but still have great riffs.

No solos...could have done with some Hammett here there and everywhere - perhaps then some songs would not seem so tiresome or repetive then?

Overall, not half as bad as what every narrow-minded 'old-skool' fans say it is, a real good album to listen to if you're angry and full of some very good riffs.

For reference, if you thought this was shit - check out Lulu!! This album seems like Master Of Puppets compared to that!!

Bingo.


Anyway, not much of a fan of this album, decided to read some reviews since it was on the front page.

I do like the 'heaviness' of the album though, they got that right. Hetfield also has some pretty bad ass vocal parts in the album.
It IS a very repetitive album though. Sure the songs are long but that's mostly down to parts being too long or being repeated too many times.
Lars's drums...We all know the opinion the sound quality. It's a shame he didn't change his sound aswell for this album since they where pretty much experimenting. This was his time to shine. He is a REALLY good drummer, he just doesn't show his potential in songs, possibly because he drums what FIT'S Metallica songs perfectly instead of what is technically amazing but it is a real shame that he is the member that does get 'trash talked' about the most for lack of skill, when he does actually have alot of it.

The lack of solo's is another shot in the foot for this album. Solo's aren't everything, sure but one of the reasons I love Metallica is because I love Kirk's Solo's. He is my hero and I have looked at him as a God since I was 4 years old. Sure he isn't the best guitarist ever, I can name many better but best =/= favourite. It was saddening for him not to be able to do his thing in this album.
It's even more saddening to hear the reason is "solo's aren't cool any more, other bands these days don't do solo's"...Damn sell outs D:

Overall though, yes, this was a total 'sell out' album and they should be ashamed for the reason's of why things in this album happened (Mo' money) but it's still a half decent album and has alot of good quality's about it.

You don't need to hate the album. Disliking and hating is two different things. And you don't need to bash Metallica. Some people like this album. My point is that we should respect what bands do. I'm not saying that you should like all the music but you should respect every artist, even though you don't like them (and by respect I mean that you don't talk sh!t about them: If you don't like, don't listen to it).

Seriously, this and Lulu are painful to listen to. I might even say that Lulu is better, at least when Lou stops singing/talking the background music isn't bad.

Load and Reload aren't particularly good either (liked them when they came out, but interest waned as years went by, except for a few songs), but at least they're only mediocre.
