St. Anger sucks.

Anyone else think St. Anger blows? It's called "peaked with the Black Album"... I'd rather listen to new Pearl Jam than new Metallica... they need to go back to drinking and womanizing.

Oh, and I'm gonna start a collection so we can buy Lars some new coffee cans, I'm sure he wore out his old set making the album.

Oh man, I totally agree. But I got clowned on by Nick Danger from 104.5 yesterday for stating that opinion to him :roll:

This album actually got a lot of good publicity pre-release from some pretty hard-core Metallica critics like metallicasucks.com. I don't understand how these people liked the album so much. Lars' snare drum sounds like a coffee can, there are no guitar solos, and very limited melodies. Although good riff-based metal can be sweet, the riffs need to be good. While some of what I listened to had some good riffage, it just seems pieced together.

Overall, I think that if this album was some new band's debut album, it wouldn't even be getting airplay.
