Product Description
From Amazon.com
Never underestimate the regenerative powers of Metallica. Following the stripped-down Load and Re-Load, they've returned to the raw, vitriolic savagery of their earlier canon, using 1984's Ride the Lightning as a template for St. Anger. The title track provides the psychic lynchpin of the album by combining the bombast and defiance of the band's earliest high-water marks with more deliberate lyrics and emotional nakedness. Equally cathartic is "Some Kind of Monster," a lumbering beast of a song that declares, "This is the voice of silence no more." Despite that claim, there's an economy to these lyrics; James Hetfield's raw-toothed growl only occasionally punctuates the menacing soundscapes. In fact, "Dirty Windows," the standout track here, is a shimmering five-minute instrumental that's free of the baroque trappings that sometimes clutter the Metallica landscape. --Jaan Uhelszki
Chronique amazon.fr
Avant la sortie de St. Anger en 2003, la bande de James Hetfield n'a publié pendant longtemps aucun album de la trempe de l'excellent Master Of Puppets, enchaînant des disques plus ou moins aboutis, où des invités talentueux venaient jouer les utilités (Marianne Faithfull) quand ce n'était pas le répertoire qui était exclusivement constitué de reprises (de Nick Cave, Killing Joke, etc., sur Garage Inc. par exemple). Là, les Californiens sont au meilleur de leur forme, alignant des morceaux tous plus puissants les uns que les autres, qui doivent notamment beaucoup à Robert Trujillo qui a joué avec Suicidal Tendencies, mais aussi au guitariste originel Kirk Hammett. Impeccable, la production installe Metallica comme un des héritiers potentiels les plus dignes du Black Sabbath des quatre premiers opus. --Hervé Comte

Major letdown!,
By
This review is from: St. Anger (Bonus DVD) (Audio CD)
I bought the new Metallica cd today and I have to say it is the biggest disappointment imaginable. I have been a fan of Metallica since Ride the Lightning and this is just not good. Problem #1: The production. The entire album sounds like it was recorded in a tin can. Metallica's signature sound (heavy guitars, driving bass and powerful drums) is gone. It has been replaced with this overpowered snare drum with all the song pretty much sounding the same. None of the songs are memorable, in fact, most of the CD sounds exactly the same. I've bought some great albums this year (Soilwork, Disturbed) and this just doesn't rank up there with them. I'll stick with "And Justice For All"

Raw, heavy, meaningful rock 'n roll,

This review is from: St. Anger (Bonus DVD) (Audio CD)
Given the dearth of positive reviews for St. Anger St. Anger (Bonus DVD), I feel I need to state my credentials up front. I came late to metal. My own musical interests are varied and span centuries. Classic rock, punk rock, and hardcore are where I traditionally go to rock out.Enter St. Anger, my first Metallica album. I am now a fan and will dabble in the back-catalog as a result of this garage-sounding, low-res album sent to us from a tortured soul. I have seen the documentary Metallica - Some Kind Of Monster (2004) and I understand the background and motivation for St. Anger. This is a back-to-basics hard rock album that is intended to be raw and spare. I get it and I relate. The snare drum that is much-talked about I understand completely and the drum's sound is integral to the album. Imagine U2's Sunday Bloody Sunday War (Rm) without the same drum. The drums on St. Anger are at once primal, like beating on an old garbage can lid, and somehow reminiscent of an old military band, making its procession down your street. This is a frantic call to arms, an 11th-hour plea for release from the monster that has taken control of our lives. I think you can fill in the blanks with your own monster and it all makes sense. The guitar work is hard and raw, and Hetfield's broken-voiced lyrics render the work sincere. Stand-outs on this album are especially the first 4 tracks: Frantic, St. Anger, the monumental Some Kind of Monster, and Dirty Window. Over the years my musical tastes have expanded rather than receded, and I can now listen to metal with an open mind and no preconceptions. If it rocks, if the band are in a serious groove, I'm into it. St. Anger rocks hard and the lyrics are heart-felt. Ulrich's drums are in your face so much that if you're listening to this in the car you'll want to stop the car, get out, find a can somewhere and start beating the living daylights out of it. Cool. I want more of this.

New Metallica....,
By
This review is from: St. Anger (Audio CD)
Yes Metallica has changed in the last 20 odd years in there career span, fans dont realize that the cant do the same thing as they once did (they're in they're early 40's) but i think this CD is there best in my opinion, its loud, fast and there rythem gets james (vocalist) to work hard to produce the best song for the Cd. I would recomend this CD to anyone into metal or rock, i really cant find any flaw at all.
