Six long years after the release of ReLoad, Metallica come back on the scene to show their 8th studio album, St. Anger. Many of you have almost lost all the respect for this band since the release of the black album, many others hate them because of Load and ReLoad and some others have now lost every interest in their music. Actually, what can you all expect from the band who left its early amazing style to get fame and glory on MTV?

Metallica's 2003 release, St. Anger, will most likely always be considered the low point of the bands discography. I'm not sure if I can completely agree with this. I personally believe Load and Reload are worse albums. Mind you, St. Anger is absolutely not a fantastic release. It rambles, has some bad tracks, and sometimes you wonder "what are they doing?" (listen to Hetfield's moans in Invisible Kid). But the album does have energy, something the band has had on about 3 tracks on the last 2 studio discs.

Staff pick by
Thryce

18.01.2011 So the biggest metal band on the planet is turning 30 this year.

As the story goes, back in 1981, some dude called James Hetfield answered a newspaper ad by a certain Lars Ulrich... and the legend was born. 30 years later, the success story that is Metallica still remains unequaled.

Happy 30th birthday, Metallica!

Rating: 9 It has always been the same story, all Metallica albums are different, except the Reload, for me the worst, and an absolute disappointment, and it is precisely because the record is the most similar at the previous album (Load). But this is Metallica, a band that can do anything and always with high quality, because they (like it or not) have proven they are great composers above all, so many great songs (yes, including The unnamed feeling ), their albums are so different, and so unfairly criticized... all of this is what precisely makes great at Metallica. Fortunately, I have the luck that I love her albums, for me are very good and I like them, leaving aside the style of the album, and I'm someone who says that the best albums for me are ...And Justice for all and Master of puppets.

They dont understand how you can put a 9 or 10 rating, and I can not understand how this disc is in the Bottom 20 albums of all time (3) Honestly, the album is closer to nine rating, so I think that you have many prejudices with Metallica, unfortunately because the Master of puppets is one of the best albums in history, and you can see many people frustrated, Metallica is much more than a thrash metal band, else not would be Metallica, probably the best metal band of all time.

Liberates the mind, if really you like Metallica.

Whatever though, I'm still mesmerized by the sudden resurrection of St. Anger as a topic to discuss. If you like it, we can't stop you.

What do you mean I have prejudices against Metallica? Why? Just because I don't like some of their music? But that's the way it is, one cannot like evrything; I for one don't feel anything when I listen to St Anger (except The Unnamed Feeling which I like). It's uninteresting to me, the vocals don't satisfy me, I miss that second guitar, what is Kirk doing exactly on this album? Honestly?!

I just don't understand listeners that put Master... and St Anger as equals. It's ridiculous as far as I'm concerned.

Rating: 4 This album was the last metallica's chance to recover the sense before the black album.
Just like many other people can think...
Surely what we can hear in this album is not the real metallica. hmhm... could be a think of many people wich were used to the Master of Puppets or Kill 'em All albums...

On the other hand...
This album coulda bring a hand to people to check out what metallica really was. I wonder what would feel someone who gets to listens Metallica for first time with this album and then checks out some Master of Puppets and Kill 'em All albums...

It is a great song! xD The only thing I dont like about it, is the "Get the f**k away from me" part. Cos it really does sound like James trying to imitate Jonathan Davis' style, and doing a very bad job of it as well.

Ive heard a few people saying this song is the only one on "St. Anger" that they like. I wonder why that is, its always baffled me. lol

Well, I don't know Thryce personally, but I think this could be all of these: 1) Humor 2) Get people rethink the value of this record 3) To celebrate Metallica.

The funny thing is that i've noticed two old albums being picked up lately (Windir, Metallica) and only the other one has been thumbed a lot. I think it's because of the album picked here

  I actually am listening to the whole album. It sounds like it has been recorded in someone's garage. The vocals are also lame. The songs are boring. Why did I need to listen to 3 songs when the lead song says it all? I remember that I didn't like it then and it was on MTV 24/7.

Void Eater - 24.03.2011 at 04:58  
  St. Anger isn't the worst album ever, but it sure tries to be. Generally I enjoy bad production, but this is just to awful... Lars seriously must have played with a tin can on this album. The "frantic-tic-tic-tic-tic-tic-toc" part of Frantic is one of the most laughable moments of metal history. The riffs reek of subpar nu metal, and even Slipknot would be ashamed of the whiny teen angst ridden lyrics of Invisible Kid. Of course, guitar solos might make the album better, so they had to remove them... But meh, you guys allready know all this. Awful album, but not the worst ever- That honor must go to Waking the Cadaver's first album. In this album's defense, I enjoy the song Shoot me Again for some reason, even though it's the most mallcore-esque song on the album.

Rating: 4 I rarely judge an album by its lyrics, but the lyrics are so ridiculously bad I can't listen to this album anymore. Songs like "Invisible Kid" and "Sweet Amber" are amongst the worst tracks I've heard, not just by Metallica. Frantic is a good song at least, and St. Anger isn't bad either.

Overall by far the worst album in their discography by a long shot (haven't heard everything though). I rarely hand out 4/10 ratings, but this doesn't deserve anything higher.

I totally agree. It was my first Metallica album when I bought it in 2003. Back then I knew basically nothing about metal, so it's not that strange I liked the album. The more I listened to it years after, the more I began to dislike it. And now I cannot even listen to it, because it's just a waste of time to listen to this rubbish when there's so much great music I can listen to.
