You are always so respectful in your reviews and always finding something nice to say. If you found something nice to say even for St Anger you are better human than me.
It’s mixed this way purposely. Intended to sound like it was recorded in a garage (kinda was). I love it because it’s raw acoustically, lyrically and emotionally.
I'm glad you kind of like it. The album was written and mixed to reflect how band members were feeling which was extremely chaotic, unsure the future, and just straight up raw. I'm fairly certain that Lars actually looked for the shittiest Mike's he could use on his drums. This album came out that a time in my life when I was extremely angry as well. So it actually fit the way I was feeling which was just unpolished rage. I would pop this album on my MP3 player and go run for about an hour listening to it. I think it definitely serves a purpose in a certain space in music. But man I wish they would have turned the snare on if nothing else. But hey, I don't want to be one of those cliche people that just s**** on the snare and then throws the album out because of it.
All within my hands, the unnamed feeling and dirty window are probably the best songs on the album. As someone else said, this album is pretty draining on a full listen
agreed, parts of sweet amber tbh I love the whole song but I can see why some don't. but there are some really good riffs in this album as a whole the wanted a garage sound and that's what they made lol. sometimes people forget that.
Yeah, I actually think it's damn near unlistenable as a whole, though it does have some songs I like. It's kind of like an album equivalent of a bottle of whiskey that you take little sips of from time to time.
I actually enjoy listening to the St. anger album, sure there are some really bad tracks on it but Frantic, Unnamed Feeling, Invisible Kid, Sweet Amber and Shoot Me Again I really do like listening to.
This album dropped a day after i graduated from HS. This album was a shock at the time, but it was better.than all other metal/hard rock at the time amnd now
Great reaction! Frantic is my favorite song from this album. Be warned, the entire St. Anger album is a low point for Metallica. James Hetfield went to rehab, Jason Newsted quit the band, and the album was delayed for over 1year. The entire band almost broke up, which explains the poor quality. I highly recommend watching their documentary Some Kind Of Monster, which follows these events 🤘
Bro you need to listen to Unnamed Feeling from this album! Its a jewel. Also, its good to react and cover the songs which are not so super popular and approach from a very neutral stance.
After you get done with the album, you should take a look and maybe react to the fan rerecord version! If you look up "St. Anger Rerecorded" it should show up.
this album is not nearly as bad as people say it is. i'd put it above "load" and "kill em all" in my personal hierarchy. i'm diggin these reactions man, keep it up :)
@@metalmellie4371 Kill em All is adorable n all, but it never really stuck with me. i'm not saying its objectively worse or anything, it's just personal taste
I didnt hate the songs as much as i thought i would hearing all the hate st anger got. It was certainly verrrrry different but if it was a different band, it probably wouldnt have gotten so obliterated by people. I know i didnt invent the wheel with that statement but that doesnt make it untrue
@@JourneyTheBadDrummer I actually like this song, and you're not missing anything. Really, it's another two sections of the chorus and refrain, IIRC. The video was done when they'd backed off a little on the "make it raw and unMetallica" edge.
What happened with that whole album… was Lars forgot to plug in the monitor to his snare, which is what gives it that God awful ring. The songs as a whole aren’t that bad. They are actually better than the load/reload era, but that snare makes the album as a whole unlistenable. The songs are MUCH better love.
A lot of people hate St. Anger without even knowing why. They just feel like they should, because that’s a “cool” thing to do, apparently. I’m glad you are much more open-minded than them. This is my favourite Metallica album. Even the snare grew on me after a while. The Unnamed Feeling and All Within My Hands are the best tracks imo.
People hate St Anger because it is bad. Songs that are way longer than they should, terrible drums, terrible vocals, mediocre lyrics, no solos, and the riffs are just a bit stock, like the danish boy said.
Dude then you need to go listen to Master of Puppets, Ride the Lightning, Kill Em All, the Black Album, And Justice for All, etc cuz obviously you have not heard them !!!
Im a huge Metallica fan, but dude, this whole album is complete trash. I bought the CD the day it came out and ended up throwing it out my truck window driving down the highway I hated it so much. You gotta be kidding.
I know you're trying to make it sound like it's just the "haters" who don't like it but man, it is a really, really bad album. They were trying to be too clever and too edgy with it at the same time. They thought nu metal was the cool shit at the time and this was their take on it. And then people watch SKOM and try to come up with reasons why they made a bad record.

this is actually a good song on st. anger i think its a banger

Literally the only song I fully enjoy on this album

There's a live perfomance of the full album in the studio, it's really good. The best song for me is The unnamed feeling from this live perfomance.

Ah this video isn't the full song I forgot they chopped them up
It's supposed to sound like a garage, this album is about going back to the roots
this was my very first metal theme at 7 years old in a cassette
They played dirty window live on TH-cam recently it sounds AMAZING with Lars current set up highly recommend watching it
This is actually one of my mom's favourite Metallica songs, she likes the tic, tic, tic, toc in the chorus😃
This record came out when I was a sophomore in High School...lord it doesn't seem that long ago!!!
The unnamed feeling is definitly my favorite in this album. Alot of this album is tough to get through.

lyrics are insane...And i love frantic live!!!

St. ANGER album's awesome, I don't to it all the time, but really love a lot of the tracks
This album dropped a day after i graduated from HS. This album was a shock at the time, but it was better.than all other metal/hard rock at the time amnd now
Next what you should do is garage inc album from 1998. All songs are covers. Great album.
I think you’ll like Some Kind of Monster too. There are a few stinkers but it’s a decent album. It’s where they were at that time - stripped down. 🤘
Great reaction! Frantic is my favorite song from this album. Be warned, the entire St. Anger album is a low point for Metallica.

me listening to this on the train at 6 in the morning lmaoo

Sweet amber is the best song on stanger
I feel like this song is about someone being a slave to addiction.
This is a shortened version for TV which takes away something from the original I think
After you get done with the album, you should take a look and maybe react to the fan rerecord version! If you look up "St. Anger Rerecorded" it should show up.
You got to react to death magnetic man its a banger
I actually like this album, ahaha
this album is not nearly as bad as people say it is. i'd put it above "load" and "kill em all" in my personal hierarchy. i'm diggin these reactions man, keep it up :)
Above Kill Em All??? Are you insane???
@@metalmellie4371 Kill em All is adorable n all, but it never really stuck with me. i'm not saying its objectively worse or anything, it's just personal taste
@@addi7719 what’s your favourite and least favourite track on Kill Em’ All?
@@SoAwesomeXD not sure about least favorite. my favorite is probably Metal Militia or Phantom Lord
St Anger is amazing I don’t care abt all the haters and critics
I didnt hate the songs as much as i thought i would hearing all the hate st anger got. It was certainly verrrrry different but if it was a different band, it probably wouldnt have gotten so obliterated by people. I know i didnt invent the wheel with that statement but that doesnt make it untrue
Need video from audio version or better from rehearsal
Tang..tang..tang..tang..🤣
It is long, and this is a short version! 🙃
I'll listen to the long version on the album reaction
@@JourneyTheBadDrummer I actually like this song, and you're not missing anything. Really, it's another two sections of the chorus and refrain, IIRC. The video was done when they'd backed off a little on the "make it raw and unMetallica" edge.
I don't like this album,and I don't hate this album. It's metallica. Metallica is life.
It's a decent drum sound... just not for a full album. 😪 parts it could work
It just sounds weird with the other instruments it's not a terrible drum sound but the snare has way to much high ring to it
The problem with it is the pain it cause to your eards?

It's ok I guess, nah I hate it, lol!!

Sadly Im annoyed with this whole album
The snare over powers everything and sounds like a metal garbage can. Sucks
