Never underestimate the regenerative powers of Metallica. Following the stripped-down Load and Re-Load, they've returned to the raw, vitriolic savagery of their earlier canon, using 1984's Ride the Lightning as a template for St. Anger. The title track provides the psychic lynchpin of the album by combining the bombast and defiance of the band's earliest high-water marks with more deliberate lyrics and emotional nakedness. Equally cathartic is "Some Kind of Monster," a lumbering beast of a song that declares, "This is the voice of silence no more." Despite that claim, there's an economy to these lyrics; James Hetfield's raw-toothed growl only occasionally punctuates the menacing soundscapes. In fact, "Dirty Windows," the standout track here, is a shimmering five-minute instrumental that's free of the baroque trappings that sometimes clutter the Metallica landscape. --Jaan Uhelszki

Product Description

First single lifted from their 2003 album of the same name. The title track is backed with one non-album/outtake from the sessions they did for The Ramones' tribute record, 'Cretin Hop'. Mercury.

Not only has Metallica writen some of he best music of our time, they are still doing it! St. Anger is so awesome. The single is an essential to any hardcore fan like me. You get some Ramones tunes and even the St Anger video! Can a person ask for more? NO!

Metallica really gave us something cool with this single. They included the tracks that they recorded as a tribute the The Ramones. It's great seeing Metallica play old punk rock because they can actually do it and it proves they can play more than metal. Now I Wanna Sniff Some Glue is my favorite on the cd and it's one of my favorite Ramones songs. If you're into owning rare Metallica songs this should be added to your collectio you won't regret it.

I'm a fan of St. Anger, so what? This single features the studio version and video of St. Anger, along with some unreleased covers leftover from The Ramones tribute album. Great buy.
