Metallica's 'St. Anger' Verdict

[J.J.D.]

Although it's a lot to take in after a couple of days, I already know that 'St. Anger' is a huge return to form for the band.

What do the rest of you think?

 

[Mark]

Not a return to form, but rather an example of the band's further evolution. I mean, if metal fans hate it as much as they do, they must be doing *something* right!

 

[J.J.D.]

Actually, I've been more suprised by the number of people I know that have liked the album (Even if it does have a couple of dissapointing moments).

 

[Boozer]

The music is great! The lyrics and vocal rhythms eat cock cheese though.

 

[J.J.D.]

'Eat cock Cheese'? (Laugh)

i have to say i have not heard the entire album but what i have heard and seen so far proves that metallica are evolving as a band. but not in a good way. i dont like it at all.

 

[MetalNations]

St. Anger is one on their worst albums. They lost their touch. Sorry...There is no going back once you left.

It's the best thing they've done since ...And Justice. But it still falls way short of a worthy, brutal slab of Metal that Metallica used to be able to produce with ease. 6/10

 

[TinMan666]

I've only heard the first single (title track), and I think it's bloody horrible. Everything about it is bad, especially the production.

 

[Celestial-Todd]

St Anger is probably the weakest track on the entire album.

 

[KoichCPA]

and the others aren't much stronger.

 

[Celestial-Todd]

But you still shouldn't judge the entire thing by one song

 

[KoichCPA]

but I'm just telling Tinman that he should, because if you put the cd in your cd player, it will be cuuuuurrrrsssseeeeeeeeeeeeeeed.

 

[Clarky]

Worst album ever.
production is...crap and annoying
(this is coming from a grind head as well!!)
musically is boring
the vocals suck
the lyrics are weak

more like st.ass

Gotta agree with you Clarky - I've seen puddles deeper than the lyrics on St. Anger.

I choose to pretend that they never made an album since Justice. Makes for less disapointment.

Well said , I'm lost for words to explain how bad they have become , they have not released a good record since Justice . They are a joke and a bloody bad one at that .

I saw them on the first tour but I would not go and see them now even if I was given a free ticket , drinks card and bag of hooch .

I think it has a few passable songs on it but the whole thing just sounds so contrived, at least the Loads didn't try to be anything they weren't but St Anger seems to try really hard to sound like the old stuff and fails miserably.
I'm going to listen to Ride the Lightning and cry
