Load and Reload I can understand. Garage Inc is covers so I can understand that too. S&M is really a live album, so that's ok.
But St. Anger? Sorry Ken, but you can't get away with that one.

I have to admit, I've never listened to Metallica while stoned. But I think to enjoy St. Anger I'd need to try something much harder than pot.

If you watch the Metallica doc, it becomes abundantly clear to everyone but the band themself that they should hang it up. The just don't enjoy being in it; it's basically just a day job now. However, I suppose its worth it to take the stage and play to at least 70,000 screaming fans every night. Its gotta be quite the rush.
Also, I realize St. Anger is supposed to sound raw, but c'mon. I listen to music my friends recorded in their attic on a 4-track, so I'm not unfamiliar with "raw" sounding recordings, but I've never heard a snare that sounds like a garbage can lid suspended from a ceiling when its struck. Still, there's a few decent riffs on the record, but far more bad parts, and not one decent whole song.

I got to go with And Justice For All followed by Ride the Lightning. Sorry, I also like Load and Re-Load. This idea of "selling out" has always amazed me by some metal fans. Like Jason Newstead said about the topic....."Yea, we sell out every night". If your "band" finds a new fan base because of a certain album. How is that selling out? I am a little more old school maybe......Sabbath, Priest, Motorhead. I know some would say bands like Kiss, Ted Nugent, old Styx{way before Mr. Roboto} Grand Funk, Bad Company, The Who, Zeppelin and others maybe aren't "true" metal but great bands none the less.
Sorry to kind of get off topic, I won't even start with Skynyrd, Allman Brothers, Molly Hatchett, Outlaws, Blackfoot, Marshall Tucker and Charlie Daniels {G}

The Garage Days $5.98 EP was my favorite from Metallica, and they were all cover songs, hmnn. I did like Kirk Hammets leads and solos on all the discs, I just liked his style. Too bad they are so boring and lame now. Too bad about Dimebag, I really like his style too.

A pretty accurate assessment.

Probably got a lot to do with how they put the thing together... They sort of cut and pasted from 4 hour jam sessions to make each 5 minute song. I thought that was pretty weird. On the other hand, the little bonus DVD that comes with St. Anger is much better. You know, when they're actually playing the song through from beginning to end.
