I have to disagree that "Unnamed Feeling" is the best track on St Anger. I much more prefer the title track or Purify... because of that, the extras on this cd are the real reason to buy it. All the live songs are hard hitting, popular, classic Metallica. The recording are top notch for live although some of the instruments in a few of the songs are too distant. My main complaint is that the timing of the songs are off. The tempo changes in Leper Messiah and Damage Inc are muddled. The riffs in horsemen and hit the lights are off beat, and lars plays a few of the sons with the new st anger drum set. I like the cd but only as an addition to the real recordings. If I had found this on the street I would have thought this was a cover band.
