"St Anger is the 'Jar Jar Binks' of metal albums."
Get your honesty kids....Who wants some honesty?

"Let's start this by assuring everyone that I am indeed a Metallica fan. In fact, if pressed to list my five favorite artists of all time, they're in at a comfortable number three slot. However, friends and neighbors, this album is not Metallica. Oh, the box says "Metallica". The radio assures us that it is indeed the rock gods themselves, and the helpful little DVD even shows Metallica singing songs off of St. Anger. The box is mislabeled, the radio lies and those must be actors in masks. Lets start with the lyrics. These are not Metallica lyrics. These are fast paced campfire songs to sing at the next AA picnic. I would not be surprised if many of the chorus phrases were copied off of motivational posters found in the break room of a post office, or a first grade classroom. Sadder still, song lyrics that manage not to sound preachy instead just sound like whining. Which is fitting, since I suppose that's what it is. Enough of that, let's move on to music. Let's start with a question : Do you like Linkin Park? Disturbed? Local bands that model themselves after the aforementioned .... and name themselves "Hatred Center" or "Pain Rangers" ? Answer yes to those and I can make this short by having you skip the rest of this review and proceeding directly back to the order confirmation page. Seriously....Shoo. Go buy the album already.....................Okay, now that we got rid of those guys, let's talk music. Let's talk about Lar's drums that have been replaced with Folgers cans. Let's talk about why his drumsticks have been replaced with kitchen whisks of some sort. I mean c'mon folks. The drums sound like they belong behind Paul Simon during a rousing rendition of "Graceland", except Paul Simon would probably have the sense to hire a drummer that can produce easily discerned beats rather than random pounding. Well, random whisking anyway. Tchick tchicka tchicka tchok. Woo hoo. Let's talk about the complete and utter lack of guitar solos. Oh, and don't hand me that "guitar solos are for hair metal" line either. I won't even bother to explain how wrong that is. Solo's MADE Metallica. Kirk helped pioneer single note solos, that's how you knew you were listening to Metallica. People modeled their guitar careers after these solos, but let's not focus on that. Let's instead focus on the COMPLETE and UTTER lack of said solos, maybe Kirk left his guitar on the subway and someone stole it. Stranger things have happened, granted he would have had to leave his feral intensity there to be stolen too. Hmmm. Let's talk about the bass riffs that are left stranded out in the rain like dead squirrels that were run over by the figurative 79' Buick of chaotic rampaging guitars. The gaps that appear in the middle of songs like wormholes near prominent Start Trek characters. The songs that try to change riffs midstream, fail, try again and then once more for emphasis they try yet again. Why? WHYYYY? I feel that I'm missing some points here. I feel that there is so much more that I could tell you, so much more you need to know. I don't know kids. That's the best I can do, may it help you in your decision making process."

"What do you expect from a Metal album?
Rap? country vocals? the same boring riff over and over and over... again? the most stupid lyrics as possible? an idiot banging on trash cans? no guitar solos?
If you like this kind of music buy st anger now, the perfect album for nu metal fans.
If you want a great Metal check out Exodus new album Tempo of the Damned."
