St. Anger was ass.

In the world of Metallica, yes, it was ass. As a standalone album, it was….something.

You misunderstand, the Black Album was the point where Metallica went from innovator to hair-band-in-disguise.

I am the king of misunderstanding. Haven’t we established this by now?

My point is that the Black Album is when the wheels fell off.  By St Anger, they couldn’t go much lower.

I honestly do agree with you, for the most part. Most bands do seem to lose a part of themselves when their work starts to become more mainstream, unfortunately.

It’s not a bad album, but you can really tell the difference.  MoP and AJfA…have raw authenticity that belies the less-than-polished sound.  The Black Album has the polish, and lyrics that some studio exec and producer thought would get radio play.  It’s as close to a Faustian bargain you can get in modern rock.
