Full new metallica song.

[Woogie]

The snare in St Anger is horrid

You mean the bin?

Yeah!

I actually like that. A whole lot better than I expected Metallica to be. But we'll see. It's not something that makes me go "wow".

[Kemra]

To be honest it sounds a bit un-inspired to me. It sounds as though they have lost what they used to have and are now using some formula to create passable songs. Shame really as I love Metallica :(

[Transcend]

As i said in the original post according to Mciver (the british critic who went to the listening party) this is one of the worst songs out of the 6 that he heard from the album.

Personally im waiting for the instrumental thats on it.

[Ratrod]

We'll have to wait for the full album for a proper judging, I think.

I was bored with St. Anger quite quickly. It sounded like an album full of half finished concept songs. Just some drop tune riffs pasted together and yes, that snare drum is terrible.

Thats what it was basically :S

The snare sound wouldnt have been so bad if it wasnt Mic'd how it was. Other bands have used snares with the snares taken off with a pingy sound to great effect metallica just did it VERY wrong.

I find it amusing that Lars has the two snare sounds that are instantly recognisable when you hear them, shame theyre at opposite ends of the spectrum of quality.

Black album - Aweomse
St angert -Awful
