Metallica has not released an official studio album since the diptych Load (1996) and Reload (1997). They did cover on Garage Inc. (1998) and performed with a symphony orchestra on S&M (1999). The criticism of Load and Reload was not tender. The band experimented with blues and country and started to look more like a colorless rock band than the legendary metal band that inspired so many bands… of today. In the meantime, bassist Jason Newsted also left again and singer / guitarist James Hetfield was admitted for an alcohol addiction. But in 2003 it is finally here: St. Anger. And guess what? Metallica is back to her senses. Metallica plays hard and super fast again and has put the guitar solos and the endless production work overboard. St. Anger is filled with eleven raw metal songs without fuss that will probably win back a lot of disappointed fans. However, it is doubtful whether there are also new Metallica classics on it. From an objective point of view, St. Anger is actually just a bit too ordinary for that. But with Metallica history in mind, this album can be called absolutely startling. (RWK)more
