St Anger was ok, yea the guitars were tuned way too low and there should of been solos, the bass was good, the drums were ok didnt really like the sound. I think Bob Rock does a bad job with Metallica personally i like flemming rasmussen

I would of thought most fans were thinking it's fan ta ta ta ta ta ta tastic.

I haven't heard any of their albums so I can't judge, but I dont like the singles off st anger.

I'll give it a 2.55[/QUOTE]


NOT TRUE - ROB IS ON THE BASS IN THE DVD. HE WAS NEVER ON THE RECORDING OF THE ALBUM - IT WAS BOB ROCK ON BASS AND PRODUCING.

I've only heard the song St.Anger, but it sure sucks ***

:upset:
What a shame job. I'm dissapointed with Metallica. The Guitars were scratchy, the drums sounded like he was planning a bunch of bloody garbage lids and the vocals sounded like my neighbour complaining about the noise.

2/5 it would've been 0 but i'm a fan of Robert Trujillo and Metallica in General.

Compared to other Metallica albums I think St. Anger sucks but when looked at in comparison to other Nu-metal albums its pretty good. But obviously people dont want Nu-metal from metallica. Then they'd be called Nu-Metallica. Makes sense really. Although we cant persecute them for wanting to try new ideas I think metallica should've stayed truer to their style on this album and perhaps taken more than twenty minutes to produce it (the drums sound like a ****ing garage recording!!!). overall 2/5.

i didn't like this album either. the drums are terrible and hetfield's voice can reeeaaalllyyyy get pretty hard to listen to. i dont think i've ever been as disappointed in an album as i was with this one.

I think St.Anger is pretty good album,its time they done somthing besides the same old stuff.(8-9 min.song,w/Kirk showing he can play lead).I ve also read u guys saying,they were tuned to low!,yeah right bout time they got out of that standard bull****.They were only dropped To C(CGCFAD) on every song but 2.The Unamed Feeling(BF#BEG#C#),and The Invisable kid(AbEbAbDbGbBb).I do agree they need solos,cuse thats there trade mark,but not everysong.Hetfields vocals were a little messed up,Lars,Snare sounds like a little kid beating on pots and pans.I guess now we all see whay theyed rather sue people than play cause they are not @ the top anymore.Also they recorded the songs live in the studio.

I was disappointed overall with the album. Mostly from my own perception that they were going to put out another 'Ride the Lightning' when I heard the new album was a lot heavier than the last few. The lyrics on a few songs are laughable (Frantic being the obvious). Plus, the lack of whiskeyburn on James' pipes seems to be very apparent, but I didn't mind it too much.

A whole album without a solo also hurts. A solo helps break up the song a bit, as well as put a unique stamp on it. After a while, St. Anger seemed to become one long song to me. I started missing when a new song had started.

I can appreciate that they didn't want this album overproduced. I think they may have underproduced this one though. This was the album they should have called Garage days revisited. I can hear that snare drum in my nightmares.

You get the feeling that St. Anger could almost never have been a total success. I see 2 distinct Metallica fan groups. The old school (Kill'em,Lightning, Puppets) and the commercial (Load, Re-Load). One of these groups was gonna be upset over this album. Personally, I'm glad they chose to make this a heavier album (even if it wasnt all that great). Buck the trend a little bit. And it took balls on their part, they could have been Nickelback and just write 2.5-3 minute radio rock songs just to make money.

I give it a 3/5

** A note on the DVD (coming from their interview on Much Music) Rob had seen the music a half hour before they started filming. I couldn't tell from watching. Good on ya Rob.

it blows -20/5

i lost complete respect for metallica when they released this huge turd

hahahahaha i love your review man....anywho to the cd i have read only this page but so far i can tell most ppl who have reviewed this cd are inexerienced morons who pretend to know stuff about music(im not pretending to i dont know anything but my own opinion).

anyway someone said the drums sucked thats because the snare was sooooo low it sounded like trash cans umm poeple keep saying kirk neede more solos well you see its verry difficult to write a solo and they didnt spend too much time on this album because james just got out of rehab. anyhwo in my opinion all of their stuff is awsome the new cd isnt my style and it isnt metallicas however they do what they want and the fan i am i support them its not like its horrible music. in fact compared to most metal out there st anger was great.

someone said they had the guitars turned down too low? moron its the distortion and tuning they used a completely different distortion than noraml. umm lets see bass is fine the new bassist rob is great in concert(not from experience but my best friend toured with them last summer in wich they rarely played st anger stuff) he has energy and plays well.

i personally think the reason for the low quality of st anger was becasue they all kinda just got all cleaned up and needed something to fall back on also part of it was the producer of the albums fault.
coments on their old stuff i like most of their stuff equally Favorite album by them is S&M but favorite song is call of the ktulu wich is on S&M and Ride the Lightning :naughty:

hahahahaha i love your review man

.....i don't think you understood me

what i meant, is that while the video crew was recording the footage for the DVD, metalllica is playing a few of the songs (from start to finish) for the first time ever.

[QUOTE=iloveteddy].5/5

Worst album ever[/QUOTE]



I agree, this is the worst album ever!

[QUOTE=Ecu]
75 minutes music (when other bands sell 35 minutes records at the same price), and DVD inside : +0.5[/QUOTE]


If it had been 75 minutes of good music, that may have counted.

1/5, one of the worst albums ever in my opinion... not just Metallica's worst album, but one of metal's (if you can call it metal) worst albums as well.
