St. Anger

[JimmyBlueEyes]

Hetfield said on Behind the Music a number of years ago that Metallica has pretty much Carte Blanche(look at me using the big important words) They can do whatever the hell they want. While I didn't care for Load and Reload was ok, this album sucks. Yes it is heavier than earlier stuff, but it's like a mess, tempo changes for no reason, Lars drum sounds like a marching snare drum. If you hear all the reviews as to how they sound like a garage band without trying to, believe them. There are so many bands that try something different and it blows up in their faces, this album I feel is that album for Metallica, it is going to alienate all the old school hardcore fans even more than Load did, imho. Yes I know I have a quote from Metallica on my posts, but that's cause Fuel was a kick ass song.
