I'm not gonna touch that subject. I'm not and never have been a fan of Metallica in general, I don't like most their tracks.
the production is atrocious. The drums in particular.

Re: I'm listening to St. Anger for the first time
Yes, the Pepsi-can-cut-in-half snare drum sound is bad. Like, weapons grade bad.
And the songs are awful. Used to be, a seven-minute Metallica song would at least go somewhere. St. Anger had these long ass songs where they would just bash two chord progressions into the ground.

the only metallica album worse than that is the piece of shit they did with lou reed.

The snare sound is a bit annoying on that album.

Re: I'm listening to St. Anger for the first time
After getting double donged by Load and ReLoad I didn't think it could possibly get any worse. I maybe got thru the first couple songs at the most before I tossed it.

Re: I'm listening to St. Anger for the first time
Well, this thread has made me listen to it for the first time too. Also not a fan of Metallica at all. So far I'm still on song one, and I have to say at least it's interesting. More so that any of the "good" stuff I've heard by them.

Re: I'm listening to St. Anger for the first time
Ok, I'm getting to the end now. I think it's fine. Funnily enough I think it's got a bit of a SOAD dirty riffing vibe, just with a different vocal sound. Even some of the harmonies point me in that direction.
But again, I'm approaching it as it's own thing, not a fan of Metallica with expectations of a certain style.

Metallica has been sub-par both in the studio and live for so long, it's hard for me to even listen to the good stuff any more.

Metallica sucked System of a Down's dick hard on that album and took a splatter of steaming ejaculatory failsauce on the nose.

Re: I'm listening to St. Anger for the first time
I am a fan of Metallica from back in the early 80's....
Bought this CD.....was excited actually!
Listened to a few of the tracks a few times and chucked it in the river when driving. (True story)
Shit was just......SAD.
Maybe I had a "St. Anger" management problem?
Give me Ride the Lightning or Master ANYDAY!
