Just on St. Anger or in general?

Well there was a natural progression from Kill 'em all to reload. What was not progressive was the Reload to St. Anger jump. You don't go from "Until it Sleeps" to "St. Anger" (the song) without having a sort of public agenda being satiated.

That being said I think they tried to go back to a more raw sounding, fast style.

Every song sounds the same because the production coated it in a paint that was really different than anything we'd heard prior. But to be fair, the reason RTL and MOP don't sound the same is because the production got much better.

to summarize all this, everything after the black album is complete garbage except for a few songs on reload

Or to summarise again....no, it isnt. Both Load and Reload were average at best but theres more passable songs on Load than there are on Reload in my own humble opinion.

I'm not surprised you're clocking up so many posts in so little time here.

Yeah no one said anything post Black was bad.

And for the record, Garage Days and S&M were pretty great.

A Load v. Reload thread would be worth the time. What do you think makes Load better, Mojo?

I am a newbie to the site and this may have been said before but when did it become cool to hate Metallica? Ok nothing they have done since Master of Puppets was as good but it still was not bad with moments of brilliance here and there. And just for the record i am not a 'new' Metallica fan as i can remember buying Master of Puppets the when it came out.

I personally will never hate Metallica or turn my back on them completely. They had such a massive bearing on my life both musically and socially in the 80's that I have put them on a pedestal that they should have never really been on in the first place.

well, st anger wasn't all that good. i do know a few fans though that think it's their best album bar none. it's supposed to have a more innovative groove running through it than on two or three previous efforts, with a more epic sweep. add to that that the bass was done by one of the masters, and a few have claimed that you cant go wrong. but i prefer the black album,

Have you heard their earlier works? The black album represents a marked transition to a different type of sound which the band explored.
