Editorial Reviews

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

1.0 out of 5 stars Nu-Metallica, June 23, 2003

By	Thomas Baldwin (HELL) - See all my reviews

This review is from: St. Anger (Audio CD)

If I could give this album a zero I would... Metallica started out as playing REAL Heavy Metal Load and Re-Load were OKAY by my standards not bad not good..... but this new album is just trash they have gone from bad to worse... Nu-Metallica is total commercial TRASH and has not one shred of good in it! Total utter TRASH... So do yourself a favor dont buy this CD EVER.... if you want REAL Heavy Metal look into the following bands
Heavy Metal- Helloween, Iron Maiden, Slayer, Sonata Arctica, Pantera

and if you like extreme stuff look into
Dimmu Borgir, Emperor, Darkthrone, Mayhem, Dodheimsgard, Immortal etc....

LONG LIVE THE TRUE METAL SCENE!!!!
DOWN WITH COMMERCIAL TRASH!

1.0 out of 5 stars Used CD store classic!, December 18, 2003

By	Xavier I. Ucar Conte "No Hay Dia" (Panamá) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: St. Anger (Audio CD)

This got to be the most diturbing thing I have ever experience. I went to my local Used cd store to see whats new and some kid was trying to convience the store's owner to buy his St. Anger copy for 2 bucks. The kid walk back out of the store with the cd under his arm. I asked the owner why he didn't buy the record from the kid and then he told no one is buying that item any more. I asked why, and he showed me the metallica used cd section...OHHH My God!!! there were at least 45 St. Anger copies in there! "I will never buy a copy of that junk again", the man told me, "the last time I sold one of those was 3 weeks ago and two days after that, the same guy walked back in here and wanted to sell it back to me again for 2 bucks! True story!
The guy and the kid were both right about not selling or buying that album...St Anger is the worst thing that ever happened to an electric guitar!
Dear god!!!!
How can this be!!!. Even though Load and Re-load were not what oldschool fans like me expected from Metallica, this should go down in the Guiness Book of World records as the greatest dissapointment in music history. This is completely aweful!!! I mean, no pun intended, but this is rookie material for elder Gods of metal like Metallica, even Venom's Welcome to Hell sounds better! I can't believe someone actually wanted to record and album that sounds bad on porpoise! This will never grow on me, no matter how many years i'll try to! So for those of you trying to sell this....jajajajajaja try the moon, coz there aren't enough people in this planet that would like to buy that crap! not even used!
