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.

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!

It was a delicate moment to the band that, instead of postponing the tappings of the album, just went with it anyway and made this big pile of Rhyno shit.

I think a lot of the songs on it are quite enjoyable, like Frantic, Shoot Me Again and Some Kind of Monster. If you don't look at this album as heavy metal but as industrial metal, it becomes more tolerable. Loading...

tominator At best deranged Posts: 571 From: Belgium	+1 25.10.2016 - 18:28 Rating: 3 tominator At best deranged Posts: 571 From: Belgium Legend has it that a hobo is still searching for his trash cans which mysteriously disappeared in 2003... where they went nobody knows... Seriously though this album would get a 5 (or maybe even a 6) if it weren't for that trash can sounding drumkit. Other then that I wish this album had some guitar solos. This might seem like a harsh score but that's only because I know Metallica can do so much better than this. Honestly there is no way I can give this album more than what I gave it. Because that would be unfair towards the excellent albums they made in the past. I feel like this would have been a mediocre/average record if it weren't for the awful production. Loading...
Metalheart35 Account deleted	16.11.2016 - 18:49 Metalheart35 Account deleted First, i worship to their first records, i love the band. It seems, it is uncool to like the band for their records after the Black Album. I give a shit to that, i still love the band, their old stuff. But this album is a hit into the face of every Metallica-fan. Angry, wild - yes! But so boring and the sound is so bothersome! It has nothing to do with their masterpieces in the 80's... Many people confuse Thrash with Trash & write and spell it wrong... ...But this is really Trash Metal! Can't give a voting, because i was not able to listen to the whole album. Tried it some times to give it another chance, but after at most the half album, i was angry or fall almost asleep... Perhaps i try again to listen to it after some years, to give it a rating. That's what i call "Trash Metal", total disappointment! Loading...

The main problem is that the songwriting runs out of ideas pretty quickly. If this was at an ep length, it would be much more listenable. Some Kind of Monster in particular is one of their worst tracks ever. ---- २०१८ - Non Habeo Aures. Et Ego Oportet Audire Loading...
Paulh Posts: 130	13.09.2018 - 13:27 Rating: 7 Paulh Posts: 130 Underrated I think. Some good riffs and interesting lyrics, and the snare is nowhere near as bad as it is made out to be. Not a great album, a bit overlong and repetitive in parts, but some songs are worth relistening to. Loading...

Maasai Mara Posts: 139 From: Kenya	05.01.2019 - 20:40 Rating: 1 Maasai Mara Posts: 139 From: Kenya Metalheads and Metallica are like a woman who keeps going back to her abusive husband hoping he will change. This album rivals Lulu on the nonsensical lyrics department. True to their word, they have forced us to keep shooting them yet they refuse to die and get out of our heads and we don't have an answer. Talking about music on any Metallica album after 1984 is a waste of breath. This debuted at #1 on the billboard top 200 and sold 2 million copies and that is all that matters other than FRANTIC TICK TOCK TICK TOCK! ---- You are not metal enough until you visit Kenya. The cradle of mankind, where man learnt first to work with stones and first enjoyed the sounds produced by banging stones which later influenced metal in all its sounds and genres. Loading...
