Metallica - St Anger
 

Is it me or am I the only one who thinks this album absolutely sucks?!! :x

I do like Metallica, but I liked them for their guitar playing and their slightly heavier sound compared to other bands of that generation, but this new album is just pure noise!!

My brother has the album so I have to put up with that shit all the time!People are saying that it is Metallica going back to their roots and that it is retro Metallica. THIS IS NOT RETRO METALLICA!! :!:
Retro Metallica is Master Of Puppets and the Black Album, not this SH*T!!

Just thought I'd express my opinion a little. :D

Re: Metallica - St Anger
 

i like the new album...devilsson & other guys think it"s crap..but i like it..

I didn't come here to start a war! :roll:

I guess I was kinda harsh but my opinion isn't gonna change sadly.

It's just kinda irritating to think that a great guitar band like Metallica would abandon doing solos and stuff cause lets face it, there aren't that many bands around today who have great guitarists. :?

Re: Metallica - St Anger
 

don"t forget seneterium!@

It's crap. Don't feel bad. :wink:

I don't really like Metallica. I've downloaded the black album which is supposed to be the best. Enter Sandman sounds ok but the rest of the tracks all sound the same, apart from the odd ballad. Maybe I need to listen more that just twice.

Well as I've said before, I've never been a big Metallica fan, but I do like Master Of Puppets, Ride The Lightening, and the Black album. But unfortunatly I think that St. Anger sucks, big time!

Your spot on dont worry about some of the asses here attacking you....your right!. There just a little erm mentaly retarded!.

I actually like it... I love when Metallica experiments with their instruments.. and they did a hell of a job here... I think it is a good solid album..

BOUNCE,
Ryan

LOL your kidding right? :shock:

my neighbor said it sucks.....ive only heard on song off of it so i couldnt tell ya

It sucks like the worst album i have ever heard and thats including pop music. Its just noise :?

in that case....i wont listen to it

i wonder how many cds of that album will be in a Used CD's Store

They've certainly "experimented" alright! :shock:

The album is doing surprisingly well, but i reckon it's only because it's Metallica :roll:

To think it had been 6 years since their last album, but it sounds like the album was put together within the space of a week! (if that! :lol: )

I don't see how people feel that BJ - Bounce was a disapointment (which IMO is not :wink: ) when a great guitar/metal churns out something like St Anger :?

The black album is overrated & isn't classic Metallica IMO. It is very heavy, however it has some amazing songs on it:

Sandman
Sad but True
Holier than Thou
Unforgiven (amazing)
Nothing else Matters
Whereever I may Roam
Of Wolf & Man.

Actually - not bad at all really, however u do have to be in the mood for it.

If u want to get into Metallica though - listen to S&M. Sounds far better than the studio tracks & the orchestra behind it takes off that heavy & 'muddy' edge that put alot of ppl off when they listen to the studio albums.

Also - if covers the whole range of songs, the first album excluded (Kill Em All)

i love the black album...one of my fave's

Yeah I heard Metallica are a good live band. I have an MP3 of a track called "No Leaf Cover". It's brilliant and is not what I thought Metallica would be like. They are certainly very talented, and the studio version of Enter Sandman is very good to. It's just a shame that most of the tracks on the black album tend to be heavy (which is not bad unless it's well written), but have very similar guitar riffs and vocals, which suggest it may not have been well written with the band struggling for different ideas, etc. I need to listen to it more though. Maybe they are a band which will grow on me.

Im not a huge Metallica fan, but I do like most of the songs off the black album. I heard St. Anger for the first time recently but I dont like it at all.

I've been a huge Metallica fan for about 5 years now and I love everything that they have created!
From Kill 'em all to St. Anger everything kicks major ass! Not every band is willing to experiment with new ideas and styles, but Metallica have on this album and it's real heavy and real loud! IT ROCKS :twisted:
By the way I think Rob Rocks too!

I bought it the day it went out, and the first day, I only liked "frantic" and "st anger".
three months after, I don't like everything on it. the drums sound is the worst they ever had, but some stuff on it is cool: "my world", "dirty window", "invisible kid"... they are actually good songs. some others I don't like at all... I think a great emphatic song would have a good idea to close the album: "outlaw torn" is a good example.
here is what I would have excepted on this album:
frantic
st anger (an edit version a bit different than the radio edit)
one
diryt window
invisible kid (but not as long as it is)
my world
disposable heroes
sweet amber
the unnamed feeling
no leaf clover
outlaw torn

I put some old songs to replace the ones I don't like

Have You ever hit an emty bucket with a stick?
That's what the snare sounds like on this album.the songs are way repetitive and over done.What good is a 7 minute song if you just keep repeating the only 3 lyrics and 5 chords you hear in the first 2 minutes??
also I've heard demos that sound more produced than this sh*t.Did Bob Rock show up at all on the making of this album??
This sounds like it was done in a week by a new band that's trying to fit in to today's rock scene.I swear some songs are sthraight ripped off from Korn or even Limp Bizkit.
It's a really bad bad album by an amazing band who made a huge mistake.I guess going to rehab doesn't always do good for people.


James you were better off drunk.

this is my opinion about all the songs:

frantic: love that song...soo diffrent lyrics & great guiters

st,anger:everyone knows that it"s the best song in the c.d.

some kind of monster:it"s a reall good old type of song

dirty windows: bad very bad song.....very over loaded

invicible kid: worst song

my world : guitres are good....average song

shoot me again: worst again

sweet amber: good song....i"ll like it

unnamed feeling: can"t get the song.....sorryy..worst

purify: goood song indeed,though it"s repeated music....

all within my hands: awesome.....reall good

they sound like linkin park in worst songs..but the whole album ain"t that bad

I'm a big Metallica fan and I think the album is terrible!! Sounds like it has been recorded in my bathroom!! I bought the album...listened to it about 10 times and still couldn't get into it so I gave it to a friend!! Who promptly gave it back to me a week later saying he didn't want to listen to rubbish like that!! I think out of all my friends who are Metallica fans there is only one of us who likes it!! Not sure where they have gone with this album? I watched a concert of theirs recorded in Germany (I have seen Metallica many times in concert) and thought that it was very boring. They used to be so good live!! Hey, maybe the next album will be good!! :D

Hey Aly - did u hear they are playing Earls Court 20th December?? Tickets go on sale on the 17th or 27th September I think!! I saw them in Reading a few weeks ago & they were amazing!! - Def. gonna try & get tix to Earls court

Hi Mike...yeah I heard that they were doing there but unfortunately I will be away at that time. Hope you get tickets! :D
