Review title: failed attempt at a raw & hard sound
Product review: Metallica attempts to return to their original raw and hard sound, but comes up short with St. Anger. As a fan, I've been trying really hard to like this album, to give it a chance, but unfortunately I don't think its going to happen. I've listened to it all the way through about a dozen times now and still can't find a song that I like. The drums sound so shallow, as if Lars used tin cans and recorded it in a bathroom. Every song literally sounds the same, there is none of the former lyrical and musical poetry and diversity. There is lots of anger, lots of yelling, lots of dull power chords and boring beats, and nothing that represents Metallica's true talent which I know they possess but apparently put aside for this one. Maybe it is the influence of the new bassist, I don't know, but they did something terribly wrong with this album. Buyer beware.
