The groove metal feel continues on the next few tracks. Of course, originality alone doesn't always make something good, but it does take some time to digest. In many ways St. Anger could be a look at the future of rock, or at least one of the myriad permutations it could travel down. In terms of actual songs, it's a mixed bag. Kill 'Em All, with its juvenile drive and ambition resembled an old battered Mustang, painstakingly tuned by a zit-faced but amazingly skilled amateur mechanic, with a clumsy flame paint and a set of black furry dice. © 2020 CBS Interactive Inc.

Share this page. If I had to catagorise it as any one genre, there are elements of sludge, heavy metal, thrash, groove, hard rock, and other eclectic lesser influences. It was an uncompromising make it or break it release created with tons of burden and pressure six years after the band’s last release. The production, for starters.
While this album isn’t going to give Darkane or Nile (or even Train of Thought) a run for their money in heaviness, there are a couple of seriously brutal numbers in this thing. I rarely listen to punk because I find its strict prohibition on anything remotely complex or technically demanding counterproductive; rather than making the songs sound more raw and exciting - or raising the quality of the songwriting as my friend asserts - the musicians in the band are so restricted in what they can do in songs that they become boring to listen to for more than one or two songs. While this will certainly be one of the most hotly debated releases of the year, it is my opinion that Metallica returns to us in awesome fashion. What the hell happened to the band’s technical ability? This song is also suffering from the Outlaw Torn Syndrome, only now Lars is banging on garbage can lids rather than a drum kit. What the hell were they thinking to while writing them? This wasn’t meant to be, however, and after much more scrutiny I moved into the third and most inevitable stage: Anger. Heads will certainly bang. Regardless of their output, there will always be people who will slate this and shout "OMFG SELLOUT MALLCORE FAIL LOLZ KREATOOOOOR!" Not a bad one on the record, really.
Every song plods along; endlessly, prolonging the sheer pain of trying to complete this “misunderstood” effort. As they are, almost all of the songs on St. Anger are repetitive, overly long and boring to listen to. Metallica has zero concept of when to properly end a song. Now this is the norm with Metallica, the average song by them is about this length if not longer.
Then it came out and we were sorely disappointed. Unfortunately St. Anger's one bright spot is a rare case throughout the album. Metallica's days of thrash are over, and while they tried, sweating, crying and cursing, the result is not a return to the roots. Some would blame the use of ProTools.
I am physically ill. 75 minutes of unending agony. And though there are some very nice studio touches, the album mostly contains a very live feel. I might cite the pitiless opener “Frantic” where the vocals sound like a ticking time bomb and where the tinny drum sound and simplistic riffs perfectly introduce us to what this record is all about.
I enjoyed all of their 80s albums, I loved the Black Album, Load, Reload and S&M. It's not very good, and not in a Darkthrone kind of "not very good". The raw drums that were mixed in the foreground represent that hammering in your head that is suffering from a severe migraine. And since that is the point of the album, then I’d say it’s pretty damn good at what it does. The Unnamed Feeling is a powerful one, possibly the best on the album, with good thoughtful lyrics and such a sense of constrained power, fighting to get out. I was, and still am, so disappointed by this disc and it is really hard to believe it was Metallica who put this out. Sadly, the song carries on for over eight minutes, overstaying its welcome by quite a bit. Anger” is full of Hetfield’s agonized, furious rants on his days in rehab, Jason Newsted’s departure, and the state of the band overall prior to the “St. They are nowhere to be found on this record. I just got back from thier concert yesterday, and they played it so loud and hard that i could barely keep up with the lyrics of "frantic". Under every circumstance, this was bound to end up being a disaster. Most of the album is in drop-C tuning, creating a much lower guitar sound than Metallica’s earlier works. EASILY the best song on the album, it's just an absolute gem. All in all, this is a solid release for Metallica.
The parts that really suck are of course that dumb bass riff, and the stupid "keep searching, this search goes on" dumb part. I should have been a librarian.
Lars Ulrich’s drumming has never been one of the better parts of Metallica’s music, but here it is more intriguing than ever. It's heavy no doubt, but it's just not very good, the snare is mixed WAY too high.
And here, and there, scattered throughout the album. Some producer needs to have the balls to go into the studio and cut tracks to 4:30 and say “see how useless those last four minutes actually are?” Huge chunky guitar riffs, mostly midpaced, a distinct COC and BLS styled groove and a massive "wall of sound" which just simply chugs along. However, the Load/Reload influence is still felt in certain areas, particularly in the vocal department, especially on songs like "Sweet Amber" and "Shoot Me Again." It's complete worthless noise, that's what that is. I shelved it in dismay, listening to it only once more at the request of a friend to find that it had only grown worse with time. These songs prove that Metallica are still a competent enough band and should be taken more than seriously, rather than the joke the media would have the listener believe.
St. Anger is about as appealing as herpes or testicular piercing. They all feature riffs well worth hearing. I'm not sure. Rock’s bass is mixed way down in a blare of guitar-and-drums midrange that recalls 1988’s . "St. Anger" or "Lulu" can't erase the classic Metallica releases. No, it just makes the listener blush, just like seeing an old, balding saggy geezer in a brand new biker leather jacket stopping to refuel a factory-fresh Harley Davidson. Even at that innocent and unassuming age, I could tell something was very wrong with this record within seconds. No aspect overpowers any other, and the riffs are powerful in both the slow and fast-paced moments.
The relentless repetition reinforces this expression, and like all the other unconventional elements, work perfectly to one who knows how to take in – how to enjoy this album to its fullest.
Hammett just copies Hetfield pretty much all the time throughout this album, the closest we got to a lead is on The Unnamed Feeling, but he just makes random noises. Somehow Metallica was able to put out an even worse piece of crap called "Lulu" feat. Great to see them treading those waters again. It's not very aggressive on a very aggressive album and it still comes on strong and it's a feeling I just can't explain. Jason was a great bass player, and it is a shame he never got to show his full potential in Metallica.
He's brought back the double bass (and very well, might I add) and he does some fairly interesting patterns throughout the album. It is a sort of timely commentary, is it not?
Metallica’s “St. Riffs from “My World” and “Frantic” come to mind.
I appreciate that Metallica were having a rough time when they were recording this- but does that mean that they had to throw all aspects of quality control out the window? While the absence of Hammett’s solos sticks out like a sore thumb, the riffing on “St. With this release, the band tried to go "back to their roots" while striving from them as far as possible: they tried to emulate the typical metalcore/nu metal sound that was so popular in the USA at the beginning of the 2000s, so they tuned down their guitars, they completely cut off the solos, they added breakdowns.
A gerbil? I hate fruity flower metal bands like Rhapsody who feel the need to deny the power of the Almighty Riff with their faux-epic disease-ridden keyboards. It was all about a midlife crisis, both on the personal level of the band members, and on the whole band's level. Shoot Me Again and Sweet Amber each have a catchiness to them that has me singing along a lot, and the former also carries a certain dangerous feel to it, albeit a simple track at the core. From questionable production, childish lyricism, lousy songwriting and a snare drum that sounded like a trash can lid, it was the result of a multitude of factors. Kill!” seemingly unable to forgive himself or others as sobriety demands, stuck in the same dark childhood place he’s always struggled to escape. However, if you take this album on its own and divorce it from the fact that it was put out by the same band that put out Kill 'Em All twenty years earlier, you'll realize that this is a nice slab of amusing, thrashy pop-infused nu-metal. As the title implies, the metal band is just as, well, angry as ever on their first new studio album since 'Load' and 'Reload' appeared in 1996 and 1997. I've seen many a review accusing Lars of being lazy on this album, but I fail to see how.
One positive of this song is that the drums have actually been turned down a bit; of course this makes little difference as the song is about the most non-dramatic, non-powerful, and non-metal one they’ve ever released. It is everything that is righteous, good, true, and “oh hell yes!” about the world. The former two are two raw, pissed off, unadulterated numbers that definitely merit a listen, despite the appalling sound quality and clear lack of creativity.
