Review title: They're back, but will they shut up!
Product review: St. Anger is proof that Metallica should have stopped making music after their self-titled album. If not then, definately after the Load/Reload train wreck. After trying to force myself to make it through St. Anger, I finally gave up after only the 5th track. The high school garage band guitar riffs coupled with James' struggle within to find lyrics that weren't borderline kindergarten level were painful. Not to mention the quality of the recording. The snare kept ringing, the rhythm guitar nearly drowned out the vocals, and there were a couple of lead guitar lines (particularly in Some Kind of Monster) that made me wonder if Kirk Hammett was really still in the band? His name is under the credits, but does he play? Overall I would rate this effort from Metallica 0 stars, but the scale doesn't go that far down. Hang up your hats now guys, your glory days are over.
