I know it’s not everyone’s favorite Metallica album but I loved it ever since the album came out and still do. It’s unique and different. I respect them for that album ’cause after many years of playing thrash metal all the time…the band decided they wanted to get away from that and try something new. That was the goal of this album, I believe. They wanted a break from the thrash metal stuff.

No matter what people thought of the album, the album is still pretty heavy and tight though. Just listen to the songs. I think “Frantic” and “Some Kind of Monster” are the best songs off the album, though. Seriously guys, you should really give this album another chance. Listen to the album. Actually listen to it all the way through with the volume cranked up and you would hear that it’s not that bad at all.

This album is still “metal”… just a different feel of it. I think “St. Anger” has Hetfield’s best singing by the way too.

I don’t understand music fans. They’re always hating on Metallica on “EVERYTHING” and yet, they keep begging for more music from them. How much do you wanna bet that when Metallica’s new album comes out this year… everybody will be shitting on it?

“St. Anger” is a pretty sick album, in my opinion. I don’t hear anything wrong with it.

Metallica plays “St. Anger” live in concert for the first time in a long time…

As part of their Metallica by request thing, fans in Prague have requested the song, “St. Anger”, to be added to their set list by popular vote. Everyone knows that the critical reception for Metallica’s album, “St. Anger” wasn’t well received by fans. It was the band’s most hated album but apparently, Prague happens to love the album. Since not many people liked the album too much, Metallica stayed away from playing songs from that album at their concerts over the years. The band played songs from the album at their concerts when the album first came out, of course but that’s about it. Metallica by request is an opportunity for fans to choose obscure Metallica songs in their sets. “St. Anger” is one of those obscure songs.

Even if “St. Anger” had mostly negative reviews, I thought it was a great album. It was pretty tight and really heavy. It had James’s best rhythm playing in many years. I never saw what was wrong with the album. The band just wanted to do something different since they’ve been doing the speed metal thing for years.

Metallica haven’t played any “St. Anger” stuff on their shows in a long time but they still seem to do a good job. The audience seem to like it and the band themselves even seem to be enjoying playing “St. Anger” again.

In the opening of this video, I love Kirk’s response. He was pissed that “Ride The Lightning” didn’t make the set list but of course, he’s just having fun and joking around.

This was a great performance. I watched this whole video. Metallica kills it like they always do. They should keep playing songs off of “St. Anger”. It’s not a bad album as many made it out to be.
