How long before it receives it’s critical re-evaluation?
The more pressing question is does one’s lifestyle determine their “death style”
it’s already happening. It’s actually a masterpiece when you realize it represents the confusion and fear of the future the band was collectively facing at the time
It beats the generic crap theyve made since
It's always had its defenders, but it's also a very long, abrasive, and hookless record. I don't see it ever having a big fanclub, even though it was indeed better for Metallica to be a more inventive, experimental band than a glorified nostalgia act.
As said, it's already happening, but hopefully not before I get to buy out all the copies while they're dirt cheap still.
St. Anger is the best Metallica album and potentially the best nu-metal album ever.

The level of delusion here is absolutely astounding, on a multitude of levels. Congratulations.
I enjoy this album at the gym listening to it on my iPod shuffle using the cheapest earbuds possible.
It's always had its defenders
But they were long bitched into silence.
it's also a very long
It's only 11 tracks.
abrasive
I thought metalgiveheads were supposed to be into that
hookless
Hookless?! lol
KEEP SEARCHING! KEEP ON SEARCHING!
SHOOT ME AGAIN I AIN'T DEAD YET
PURIFY! WON'T YA HELP ME! PURIFY!
et fucken cetera
I don't see it ever having a big fanclub
I do. It has all the makings of a modern classic. Once it gets its flowers it will be regarded like a great book of the Western Canon.
St Anger is supposed to be listened to while you are out actually doing shit, like hitting the gym, manual labor, lone walks, whatever forces you to confront reality while the sounds of St Anger color the experience awash with pent-up rage.
I don't think St Anger is about the future as an aggregate, unless you have a compelling reading to offer. It's rather a personal album about going through a dark place and forcing your way out through the other side back into the light, hopefully coming out lighter than you went in. It's an auditory catharsis.
That’s a lot of defending for a shitty album. KEK
Cope, retard.
it's already had it's contrarian "it's actually le good" phase for about a decade now
But they were long bitched into silence.

this is like trying to defend wtf bcnr just released, its not abrasive for most metalheads either, and it kind of a given because they dont like metallica anyway so just stfu
I have never understood the hate for the snare on this album, and the fact that it's still provocative decades later shows how it was the right choice to make
I have never understood the hate for the snare on this album
"le funny trash can snare xD"
sounds like shit 20 years ago
still sounds like shit today
apparently this should mean that it was actually good all along
This would be a 7/10 album if the songs weren't so long. Make 8 min long nu metal songs without solos is retarded idea.
Sometimes.
They even meant to call it Frantic. Woah
ST ANGER
ROUND MY NECK
YOU FLUSH IT OUT
YOU FLUSH IT OUT
They're not slam fans
St anger and Shoot me again were the first tallica songs I ever heard and I still enjoy them. This album seems shit when you compare it to something great like Master but on its own it's a decent record. Definitely not as shit as most people would have you believe. I'd say the fucking soulless borefest that is 72 seasons is a much worse album than St anger.
I've never heard a metallcia song off anything later than the black album
It's only 11 tracks.
Some kind of monster is 9 minutes long and only has three riffs
Brick wall limited
Once it gets its flowers it will be regarded like a great book of the Western Canon.
no member of metallica has ever read a book you do realize that right zoom-zoom
it's a blatant, blatant fucking attempt to get in on an already dying hypetrain (nu-metal) which metallica was very late to and simply didn't understand. here's a prescient argument:

Maybe it's just in the wrong genre.
It would work great with metal
youtu.be
Numetal fans actually never mention St anger because it's not a Numetal album
It's more like a shitty Groove Metal album
i'm an alcoholic. guess how i'm gonna die.
Bad sushi.
You will die of delirium tremens, ironically due to a lack of alcohol. Lifestyle determining deathstyle in a counter intuitive way
it's still an alcohol related death. i chose my deathstyle when i started living like this.
it's not a Numetal album
It's more like a shitty Groove Metal album
You're right, it only has moments which resemble nu metal. The core songwriting is still the same hard rock/buttrock you hear on Reload. But here it's made intolerable by the muddy production and 8 minute songs.
8 minute songs
i guess you've never listened to RTL or AJFA...
Yeah, those songs are totally the same as Invisible Kid. Knucklehead.
Would have been good with better editing
The guitar tones are garbage are too quiet, the mixing is shit, the trash can snare would be fine but its way too fucking loud, Lar's drumming disability and inability to keep time is on full display, Hetfield's voice sounds like utter trash 80% of the album, and every song is way too long. Out of 11 tracks, 6 are over 7 minutes and no song is under 5 minutes. It's obvious that Bob Rock and Mike Gillies had no idea how to produce or mix nu-metal or get good nu-metal-esque tones that the band were going for.
However, underneath the garbage production, first draft songs, and shit tone, there are good songs and moments. Hetfield's voice does occasionally contain some raw heartfelt screams such as when he cries “I'm madly in anger with you...” It's a real shame they never went back, picked out a few of the best songs, tightened up the song structure, and redid the production for the 20th anniversary. Hell, a simple rebalancing of the mix and a remaster would have done wonders.
Wow man that's deep, like Bukowski or something.
This. I listened to st anger for the first time last year with an open mind and still thought it sucked
Bodied that fag.
extremely low iq npc post
do better
