****, St. Anger is better than Hardwired or Death Magnetic. Those two pieces of crap just bore me to tears with how unoriginal and generic they sound, whereas St. Anger tries at least to bring the band into a new direction. I would never compare St. Anger even to The Black Album, it's not great, but I like half of the songs on it at least. I think it's overhated, I even used to hate it but now when I listen to it it just sounds like they're trying to do their own take on some System of a Down style nu metal.
