-Dannazione-

 "St. Anger is not only an abomination of the post 'Hetfield Amish Style' era but is also a hodgepodge of sounds with a setting that is too Nu for a RealMetallicaLover."

 "We find choruses absolutely devoid of meaning, almost as if trying to mimic a style that has never belonged to them."

The reviewer considers 'St. Anger' a low point in Metallica's discography, lamenting its nu-metal influences and lack of meaningful choruses. While acknowledging its commercial success, the album is seen as predictable and boring, especially compared to earlier classics like 'The Black Album' and 'Ride The Lightning'. The reviewer criticizes new bassist Robert Trujillo and misses previous band members. Overall, 'St. Anger' is described as an album to own only because of Metallica's fame, not its musical merit. Read the full review and decide if Metallica's St. Anger challenges your metal expectations.
