I'm one of those people that gave up on them partially on the Black Album and fully on Load, so the last part had some thrashy flair that I liked them for in the first place. Didn't Rick Rubin produce the album? There's some hope there, but I doubt I'll rediscover their music.

Sorry but I believe that Metallica will for ever and always be the best band!

It was just pathetic to see one of the all time greatest thrash bands become nu-metal posers on their last CD. What respect I had for them going into St. Anger was lost the day I picked up the cd. They are in it only for the money now (have been for awhile) and trying anything they can to get back to form. Sad.

what was wrong with this album. i though tit may have strayed from there original stuff but if they stayed original then people would rag on them for that.

Why (other than the whole napster thing)do people dislike Metallica and there recent sound?

Hoping they do make it to town on this tour. Saw them 3 times within 18 months in Seattle after the Black album came out including the Kingdome show with GNR.

They put on a heck of a great show!

metallica sux, always have sucked. especially since the black album, i know everyone says that but its true but thats my opinion. and charging $75 for tickets to see them what the hell? sure fans say they play forever, but for that price come on. there is much better music out there. keep your eyes and ears open for there is more to music then what mtv or the radio tells you. oh and that metallica movie, why would they make that. just shows how big of cry babies they are. dig the cry scene with lars, hetfeld and dave mustaine at group therapy. bring the hate now

One. Has some flashes of the old brilliance but they don't care to stretch any. Duran Duran, oddly enough has been one of the few bands I've ever seen that could really stretch and find themselves anywhere they wanted to.

INXS with Michael Hutchence was the other that pops into focus in my memory.

Ok some of the lyrics were off but the music rocked! i guess since idaho doesnt have any death metal or hard rock stations people dont really have a taste for the st. anger album. I mean come on the X(100.3) claims to have rock but they can play some crap! But much ya do about nothing!!!

The song would be decent if it had the tempo of the end of the song. The power ballad crap beforehand... not so much.

What sell outs! if they always sounded the same then im sure you would complain about that. just like a DENVER BRONCO fan you have to take the "reinventing years" with the good. I know there stuff will forever be the best. Oh and yes Lars is the FOSHIZZEL of drummers!

and Bob Rock's middle name is "doesn't".

man, we have alot of critics on this board. I doubt most of you have never even picked up a guitar or touched a drum set let alone sell over a 100 million albums and win 7 grammy's. They are one of the best bands of all time for a reason. They can charge $75/ticket because people will pay that to see them. You get your moneys worth anyways.

I appreciate every album they have, even St. Anger. It was meant to sound like a modern garage/thrash album. Their new song has grown on me. Most singles arent the best songs on the album anyways. so if thats the case, this album will be platinum 2 weeks after its release.
