St. Anger is the new album out by one of my favourite bands, Metallica. The new album was recorded with Bob Rock , their producer playing bass. They then found a new bass player called Robert Trujillo (Suicidal Tendencies/Ozzy Ozbourne). The other members, James Hetfield, Lars Ulrich and Kirk Hammet played their usual instruments. The CD consists of 11 tracks and a bonus DVD is also included. The album artwork was done by Pushead.
I thought this album is pretty good, not my favourite of Metallica's. I haven't been able to really get into yet but I like what I've heard so far. A large disappointment is that fact that there are no solos or instrumentals. The CD is VERY heavy, so for the people who thought that Metallica was going soft because of S&M think again. The album seems to consist of heavy guitars and drums, and lots of lyrics which were written by all the band memebers. I haven't had a chance to look at the DVD yet either, but I think its just Metallica playing the songs. Overall not a bad CD, a must if you are a hardcore Metallica fan.
