St. Anger – MetallicaView More By Metallica Our ReviewSt. Anger is an album of naked frustration. Longtime bassist and crucial contributor Jason Newsted left the band prior to recording it, James Hetfield entered rehab for substance abuse at the beginning of the sessions, and the personal and creative tensions among the remaining band members were only exacerbated when a camera crew was invited to document the recording process for the film Some Kind of Monster. The album took almost a year to record, and the results are overlabored, but also incredibly revealing. Even though Bob Rock’s production has a cold, detached feel, and Newsted’s absence on bass clearly leaves a void in the band dynamic, St. Anger resulted in some of Metallica’s most brutally ferocious playing, particularly on “Frantic,” “Dirty Window,” and “All Within My Hands.” As far as band cohesion goes, St. Anger is undoubtedly Metallica’s most disjointed, claustrophobic album, and fans may never forgive the infamously tinny drum sound. But while St. Anger is certainly not Metallica’s best album musically, it is their most compelling album psychologically. The title is not a misnomer: this is the sound of the most successful metal band in the world exorcising its demons.. Customer ReviewsOkay, Pay Attention (5 stars)Because this is important. People Say "this isnt metallica". Thats total bull. Lets Look at metallica's past. Kill Em All & Ride The Lightning = Thrash metal. Master Of Puppets & And Justice For All = Progressive Metal. Black Album = Metal. Reload & Load = Alt Metal. Garage Inc = Punk, Hardcore, Metal, Proggressive, Country, and Folk. So with St Anger they tried something new. Im not sure what it is, but its defin It's not bad because it's different, it's just bad. (2 stars) Let me start by saying this: I hate negative reviews which essentially say "I hate it because it's not like their old stuff." Most great bands will naturally evolve their sound as they progress, and if this is done wisely the results will only get better and better. Change is not a reason to hate an album; it should be judged on its own merits. With that said, I will now say this: this is one of the worst albums I've ever listened Quite Possibly, Metallica's Darkest Album (5 stars) I remember the first Metallica album I purchased, ...And Justice for All. I fell in love with Metallica fast. I have a great respect for the band. I got Master of Puppets, Ride the Lightning, all those classic albums! St. Anger...this is something different. Before I rented this album from the library, I heard a lot of friends say how horrible the album was. I decided to check it out, and judge myself what it was...I was glad I did. S BiographyFormed: 1981 in Los Angeles, CAGenre: Rock Years Active: '80s, '90s, '00s, '10s Metallica was easily the best, most influential heavy metal band of the '80s. Responsible for bringing the genre back to Earth, the bandmates looked and talked like they were from the street, shunning the usual rockstar games of metal musicians during the early '80s. Metallica also expanded the limits of thrash, using speed and volume not for their own sake, but to enhance their intricately structured compositions. The release of 1983's Kill 'Em All marked the beginning of the legitimization of heavy...
