Although the sng St. Anger itself isn't THAT bad...
But I won't start about the rest...
Even though I never liked Metallica
It's not the solos.. it's just the lack of ANY complicated guitar work (doesn't have to be a solo.. Solos are overrated because too many people feel obliged to put them in) really made it a BORING ass album. Drumsound + the AWFUL, garage-like (they wanted to make it "pure") production makes it sound like noise you hear from your neighbor's garage.. And these guys are almost 40.. not good, not good.
I found Load tolerable (was much better than the rest of the shit on American radio stations) - but this is very wearing. I would've NEVER even thought about spending my money on such an easily accessible album (you can download it ANYWHERE, it seems) before actually listening to some of the songs. And I have and it sucked.
I mean, this band is still my favorite band of all time - fuck Napster shit (get yourself a dc++ if you're still crying about it), fuck st. anger.. I can just pretend they never existed .. The shit they've made in the 80s... is still beyond awesome. Nothing will ever change that...
