Metallica: Album, 2003.
Not the worst Metallica album (but almost). Could have been alot better.
It's downfall was Lars Ulrich. But Lars is the downfall of every questionable Metallica release (see, 'dodgy drumming, and justice for all').
Lars Ulrich should be killed by a giant dust bin.

The worst album by Metallica which is filled with a bunch of crappy songs with no solos and a trash can instead of a snare drum along with James' worst singing ever. Metallica had forgotten how to write metal songs while putting together the album but were able to redeem themselves on their album Death Magnetic.

NOT the worst Metallica album. Seriously, I don't get why this album is so hated. Yes, "omg the snare sonds so bed" but guess what? Some people don't give a shit about it!

Probably Metallica's worst album. Being such a hardcore fan of the band I at least would like to say there are some okayish songs on the album, Some Kind of Monster probably being the best. Even when Metallica changed their style with Load and ReLoad they were still a kickass band, but their latest album was very poor to Metallica standards because they tried experimenting with nu-metal music. I don't believe Lars is the downfall though, I mean his drumming in St. Anger sounds pretty much the same in all the songs but all the songs sound the same anyways. It would make sense if they had recorded all the songs, one after another without really changing the guitar FX or drums, but it took them three years, but seeing the DVD named 'Some Kind of Monster' you can sort of see what problems they had making this album.
*Listening to Some Kind of Monster*
Person who has never heard it: Wow. This is really crappy compared to other Metallica songs.
Me: Yeah, this is probably the best one on the album though.

St. Anger is Metallica's latest album. While many regard it as it's worst album, it isn't that bad in the end. People that really hate it usually just listened to it for 2-3 seconds and then took the CD out and never put it in again. It is supposedly a return to Metallica's old days, featuring a heavier metal than the albums that came before it (specifically Load and Reload) mixed with nu-metal as people call it.
One of the most highly criticized points of the new album is the new drum sound of drummer Lars Ulrich. Some love it, others hate it. Try listening to it yourself.
Another point is the absence of Metallica's almost legendary guitarist (in my opinion), Kirk Hammet, with his incredible guitar solos.
The lyrics are mostly centered around hate. Almost every Metallica album has one argument it is centered on (example Ride the Lightning is centered on death, while Master of Puppets is centered on the military somewhat, and ...And Justice for All is centered on human rights and politics).
Some of the songs in it are actually bad. I personally hate "Sweet Amber".
Some are good, for example "The Unnamed Feeling" (but they ruined it with the stupid voice saying "been there before..." in my opinion).
An interesting case is "Some Kind of Monster". I believe it should have been an instrumental song, just like every one of Metallica's first 4 albums had one.
In short, St.Anger did actually lower the bar. But, after all, it is STILL Metallica. So don't diss it.
