St. Anger was weird album, the tunings were all different, there were no solos and Lars drum sound had a "ping" to it that could really become grating at times - but what I liked about it was that it had intensity, purpose and renewed sense of vigor that the band so urgently lacked on the Load and Reload albums...
I am not even a huge fan, but I am drawn in enough to want to check out Death Magnetic. The sort of Intensity St. Anger has, coupled with a much better sound and adding solos back in.... sounds like it could be really good!
