Metallica
St. Anger
(2003)
I joined the Metallica fellowship quite late, but after hearing their
music, I was impressed. I straight away bought the Live DVD, where we
see Metallic accompanied by a symphony! It’s absolutely brilliant.
So you can’t blame me for being excited about finally getting hold of
St. Anger. If you can imagine me excitedly waiting for the CD to load
with a childish smile on my face. Then the moment I heard the production
and music quality, my expression was replaced with a confused and
disappointed look of heart break. Well I wouldn’t go that far, but it
was definitely a sad moment.
Supposedly, the album was meant to sound like it was being played in a
garage, but in my opinion that’s a poor excuse for an album that was
lazily written and badly produced. It’s a shame to have to say that of
such a quality, ‘history-changing’ band.
I must admit, hearing St. Anger and Frantic live was good, but the rest
of the album doesn’t exactly live up to the high expectations I have of
such a massive band.
Let’s hope they can do better next time.
