I love the imperfection of this album. The anger, the “I don’t give a shit if we don’t sound perfect”, the poor production, etc. that’s what makes the album great.
You can tell Lars was reeeeally digging this direction the band was going in. His energy and playing was amazing. Even James was impressed at the end haha. Insanely underrated album. I think it's their 3rd best album
Well, to me it is better than Death Magnetic due to clipping issues on DM and mostly samey dull songs also better than AJFA due to no bass guitar in the final mix along with half of the songs being filler. Before I learned to play instruments I liked AJFA a lit more...lol

@@scottdair3898 if I'm talking about how much I listen to the albums, then hell yeah. St Anger over master of puppets. Obv MOP is more iconic and influential, but which one I enjoy listening to more is actually st anger. Battery is great, master of puppets is great, but not a huge fan of the rest of the album if I'm honest. Disposable heroes is cool, Orion and damage Inc have their moments but, yeah, not bananas about it over all if I'm honest.
So you put a horrible production, lazy vocals, no solos, and terrible drum sound album over MOP when there every song is fucking great. Orion is a musical masterpiece. Battery disposable and damage inc are great thrash songs. Master of puppets is a musically great song. Welcome home is a journey front and back. The thing that should not be is a heavy song. MOP has solos, pretty damn good production and James doesn’t have a fucking terrible singing voice.
@@stephenhood2948it's wild because Metallica only made good music when Lars' drums sounded like that. They should make a St. Anger 2, would be a shame to only have 1 good album
What amazing rythm work by James and Kirk. The whole album is so catchy, groovy, badass and amazing = epic album. No master of puppets but doesn't make it any less epic.
You know, I really think St. Anger is a great album. I really think this was their way of getting all their anger out from past experiences. This to me was a stepping stone for Metallica to find themselves. I dont care what any one says if the snare was on and there was some solos this would be a AMAZING album. Some of the lyrics are so deep on this album. Sweet Amber in particular. IMO this is the best Nu-Metal album ever. Rob really gave them the kick in the ass they needed for Death Magnetic.
When I first watched this, I saw that bass interlude toward the end and I thought “dang, Rob is pretty sick on bass.” Then I realized it was Bob Rock who played that on the original recording and I’m like “shit, who knew how good Bob Rock would be on bass?!?”
the liberation in James really comes to the fore on this record. He was finally being honestly himself with himself and his band and the world. You can feel him really reborn and excited to make his music again. That alone makes St. Anger a great album ... but there also awesome songs on there and it challenges you to grow with the band .... something good music usually does. I love the rawness of this music.
I always recommend watching the dvd rather than the album itself to people as I think it portrays the raw energy of the songs alot more. Also, it sounds better than the album ;-)
you know i really hate why so many people are bashing St. Anger...it was a great fucking album...probably not their best, but it was a step in the right direction in getting their old sound back. True Metallica fans will agree with me.
usually the people who say it sucks are not very open minded, plus metallica arent just one genre, they are very progressive, and thats what makes the ledgendary, and your right this album was a hellof a loud album and was a welcome change
In Milan 2019 when i did the Dream no More Experience I talked with Lars about a Anger World Tour with the full songs of the album.. "Maybe.. one day."
@@MetalCris92 maybe in 2023 they'd do it since it was 20 years since it was released, like in 2006 when they did MOP and in 2012 they did the same with the Black Album
I dont think the world was ready for st anger yet. This song is an absolute banger and still is today. We were still in the overproduced era.... If they released this album today as a "return to roots" all analog album, we'd be eating it up om nom nom clear vinyl pressing with concert tickets inside/15000 copies where can i buy buy buy
I don’t think the drum sound should be the main judgement of Lars; we should judge him on what he’s playing. Lars knocks it out of the park on St. Anger, and he’s not given the proper credit he deserves
