All things being subjective here's my take on the metallica thing...I have not had much to do with metallica since the debacle that was the black sellout, except to confirm they were selling out more with subsequent releases. Load stinks, reload stinks more and S&M is just plain sad. But St. Anger is better, much better. I have issues with the sound, the drums generally get a bad deal, the guitars sound vague at times and the vocals can be a tad strident in places. I prefer the DVD snare by spades. In fact I prefer the DVD drum sound period, especially in 5.1 mode, the whole rehearsal thing rocks, especially with the volume set high! My opinion of the sound on the studio version is that Mr. Rock can't deal with de-tuned guitars, and Lars borrowed a toy drum kit for the studio version. If I was a Tama/Zildjian rep I'd be mortified that my best hardware sounded like a fisher price drum kit! Musically this is the best they've done for 15 years, but lyrically it isn't so good, and is the weakest part of the album. One or two of the songs are a bit samey, but overall I like it. I don't think they are harking after past glories, and I don't necessarily believe they are 'trying' to be angry either. This album sounds pissed off, and I personally think it's something of a return to form. Not as good as 'Master of Puppets', but it's enjoyable nonetheless, and well worth investigating.

I bought it, sir! Last thursday (the day it came out, at exactly 11am, sir! hehe). Watched the DVD twice, but then i spent the entire weekend painting my place, plus i had my folks over so i didnt really blast any metal while they were here. Obviously. I have to agree with you, tho: it's really a weird record... not beautifully weird, more like "wtf?" weird. I dig that. I'd also like to mention that the DVD is alot better sounding, but that's been said already. And I'm almost elated that all the kids that loved the "Load" stuff they did are absolutely LOATHING this new record. They're all crying like bitches "why did they do that?" Haha. Yup, been there before, didnt we?

Prepare to be attacked by the mullet army. If it is indeed as brutal and sick as skul says, then this is the kind of ammo the mullets have been waiting for.
Funny thing is, though I thought the new Voivod album had some good stuff on it and was to some extent a return to form, I was not as impressed with it as I was with St Anger. I think Voivod are still a way from their pioneering, eccentric best and I so miss the wierdness and anger that was RRROOOAAARRR, Kiling Technology and Dimension Hatross. It probably stems from St Anger being so different to what I expected and I think it's caught a good few people by surprise. I still rate Voivod way over Metallica based on the history and musical skill, but on comparing the two latest releases side by side, though Voivod clearly are more accomplished musicians and got a far better production, I prefer St. Anger because it just has an attitude about it, something beyond the music itself that to me is absent in the Voivod album. But in the overall scheme of things Voivod still kick Metallicas ass!!

Ok, I'm eating words here as well... I downloaded this whole album, ripped it to cd, and have been slowly becoming repulsed/obsessed with it!  There are really good riffs here, but there's almost as many parts I hate as that I like. Yet it's all pretty weird, especially for Metallica, and that's got me transfixed! Goddammit!  This record is some sort of trainwreck/disaster, yet I seem to be unable to dismiss it as the next lame McTallica record. And like Skul says, this record has got to be killing those Load/ReLoad "'Tallica" fans who most likely aren't used to being 'challenged' by their beloved Metallica. For that alone, this record is deserved of some respect. One last negative comment (I have to right, this is a hater site, no?  LOL!) Hetfield's lyrics and singing are some of the worst I've heard here! There, I said it and I feel better. Will I buy it yet? Maybe used, I'm thinking. Go ahead, make fun of me now! AHHHHH!

I noticed that too... I'm not interested in "St. Anger" for the reasons I already said (Tangento and Mezcalhead: you're not alone!). If someone lends me a CD-R, then I'll listen to it ,but I ain't that curious. IMO, the new Voďvod does ROCK!! I know this is not a new subject anymore, but the more I listen to this CD the more I get into it!  There are only 2 or 3 tracks that I don't like so much, but on the other hand, all the lyrics are cool, Snake is back in full shape, Away is delivering some superb drumming and there are at least 5 or 6 killer songs in the record (not to mention the CD packaging which is also great). The only thing I miss is...guitar solos! They're so few and in-between...  Anyways, I give the disc 4 stars out of 5.

Vomit - on the host of heaven
Masturbate - on the throne of god
Break - the seal - of angels
Drink - the sweet blood - of christ
Taste - the flesh of the priest
Sodomize - holy nuns
The king of jews - is a liar
The Heaven - will burn
Dethrone - the son of god
god - is dead
Holyness - is gone
Purity - is gone
Prayers - are burned covered in black shit
Rape - the holy ghost
Unclean birth - of -jesus christ
