(Rated this album with 2 out of 10) Reviewed by

St. Anger is easily the biggest disappointment of 2003. I laugh at the people who actually think this album is good, most of them are just in denial and can't deal with how bad it is. I know that Metallica tries to do their own thing and not care what anyone thinks of them. However, they should've cared what the fans thought and gave them what they wanted. Instead, they try to ressurrect their old sound in the wrong way and fail miserably. The production is awful, Lars sounds like he's clanging on metal. The vocals are done in one take, so Hetfield sounds like a sick crocodile. The worst transgression though, is that there are NO GUITAR SOLOS. Metallica just isn't Metallica without solos. Metallica had already started to die when they created Load. Now they are officialy dead and old news.
