And if you were listening to Metallica for lyrical prowess, thats on you, man. I didn't go to 300 for dialogue, I don't watch porn for plot, and I don't listen to Metallica for poetry.

Are you really defending St. Anger? Just about everything about that album was bad. It was Metallica doing nu metal...only at least most nu metal bands knew they couldn't keep everyone's attention going for more than 3 or 4 minutes. Metallica decided songs that are 7 or 8 minutes of half baked downtuned guitars would be a good idea. Then Lars's snare. Oh. My. God. My head feels like it is about to split open about 10 minutes in. And maybe a lot of people can get over the fact that there are no lead parts on St. Anger...I can't. Kirk is a great guitarist and I want to hear him play. Maybe I could have stomached the album if those songs had even 10 second solos in there.
And I totally agree, I don't listen to Metallica for poetry but those lyrics hit an all time low for the band. It didn't even sound like he was trying.
