Well guys, I have decided to begin reviewing albums here on my blog, and my request to start off with was St Anger.

After a little break in the action from Metallica, they returned in 2004 with St Anger, the only Metallica album featuring Bob Rock I believe. St. Anger from start to finish is driven with "Anger", but to me it's just not enough. However the two things that just kill this album are the drums and the lack of solos. For the drums, Lars apparently used a steel kit, and it sounds like crap. Not just the snare, the whole dayum kit. And the lack of solos.....it's Metallica for god sakes!

For the tracks, all of them are kinda meh. None really stand out, it's kinda nu-metal blandness. I must say however the production sounds good. The style just kills it for me.

All in all I'm gonna give St Anger a 3/10. It just...is weak. Metallica slipped up here, and I certainly view of as that one "sell-out." They have redeemed themselves, but it's hard to forget this failure.

Pros:Great production
It's....Metallica?
Cons:No solos
Horrid drums
Everything else

Alright, so if you want an album reviewed, leave a comment. See ya next time.
