Which is why I've listened to stuff off this album a lot over the last couple of months. I've been so pissed off at everything. I loved the album beforehand, but now it just speaks to me so much more.
“In this song, Metallica tuned lower than Korn. Let that sink in” Comment from official song’s UA-cam video, RIP removed by UA-cam auto generated music policy
It's more of the concept itself I appreciate. They had a pretty good struggle through the making of this album, almost fatal. I don't see this as a album they tried their best at, just letting out some aggression. Folks should realize too, one of the most legendary albums ever was Garage Days. And it had way worse quality.
thing is people don't realize what james was going through during the recording of this whole album i suffered from addiction so i know how james felt and all of that are put into the lyrics of every song on this entire fucking amazing album
This became one of my favorite songs of Metallica since the first time I listened. St. Anger is a great album for me. I understand that the old fans despise this kind of music, there's a whole concept of metal that changed throughout the decades, but as a 19 years old who grew on nu-metal and metalcore, I know that this album was a piece of art from my generation. Unfortunately back in the 00s Metallica was seen as and old band and didn't gathered the deserved attention to this album, only the Metallica fans knows this album and that's sad. I just like all the lyrics and the heaviness of the album, it's so real and touch a lot of the issues my generation go through (anxiety, depression, anger, etc) and it's crazy how they managed to make such great album that speaks to me and this generation. Not saying that they were old back then, but things was way different than when they began and the 2000s metal was really young. And just for the record, I like the first 5 albums of Metallica, tbh I like pretty much everything they've done apart from REload.
I am 47...huge tallica fan, and I LOVE THIS ALBUM...for the very same reasons you stated, the heaviness and the lyrics, man. What better way to let out anger?
While I'll not agree saying its gold, I won't deny its really a lot better than people claim. I think people who put it down that much are actually just sour that their favourite thrash bands weren't half as successful as Metallica and they just wanted to pounce on Metallica at anything. I think they're just jealous farts. Then there are another section of close minded people who want everything to be thrash. What harm if metallica tried something different? and well too.
Because of the lazy songwriting, the nu metal Hot Topic crowd pandering, and most of all the godawful sterile neutered PRODUCTION. Every song would be better if it had been condensed to 3 minutes or less.
wladdaimpala88 1. Can you write songs to a decent, publishable degree? Thought not. 2. Everything is pandering to some crowd, somewhere. Old news. Try harder. 3. All new Metal, not just 'Nu Metal', is dog shite. If you seriously think any Metal band of any sub-genre, post-80's is good, you have forfeited your right to an opinion. 4. It was acclaimed as the rawest, heaviest Metallica album ever produced. Basically, you're talking shit and probably don't know what you're talking about. As with the rest of the people with your unified, invalid opinion; Go back to Amon Amarth, or whatever guttural crap people like you call "music". And take a bath. I can smell you from here.
Omg lmao, this whole time I was thinking the lyrics was "in word he's grown", but "inward he's grown" makes more sense. In my hearing I thought "in word" meant like he is grown only as a number, but not mentally.
Metallica with this album came out with such aggression and anger and decades of suffering of personal nightmares and its told all in detail on this album with everything they went through in their career I relate to it it such a deep honest album its raw as their old demos but with modern production Bob Rock got them to go out of their comfort zone and just write your anger and rip yourselves open and Lars drumset sound tight even though its like the young kid in all of us air drumming on pots and pans etc and basic sound lyes but simplicity Metallica explorer extremely well thats why they have a religious like following and the guitar tone on this is the sound of whats creaking floor boards at violent pitch and the sound of violent screams of such emotion I love this album its the one I listen to in the gym RTL and StAnger are fantastic Metallica for the win yes Iam a diehard follower and proud to admit it and les I worship Megadeth too but no need to go there lol
Gwyn's Last Knight eh,some people really lived tragic events. he's no edgy teen,he just wants to let off some steam by speaking about his problems, and gathering attention,which I guess is a pretty good thing if you want to stop being an "invisible kid" some people earned the right to be edgy sometimes.
@@LeglessWonder The snare isn't the only issue. It's how the mixing is done entirely. This album has some really bad mixing with the left and right channels. It's definitely not recommended to listen to this album with headphones on.
this song gets to me its my favorite by them tbh it reminds me of me and others like me the invisible kids they keep to themselves locked away in our brains hiding away from the pain i mean look at the lyrics they say it all...
I don't know why, but this song reminds me of Shinji from Evangelion. It fits perfectly with his personality.Someone should make an Evangelion AMV with this song.
They were writing this right when Nu Metal was huge… I know they’ll never admit it (like Slayer did with Diabolus in Musica), but they were subconsciously influenced by it
Master of puppets for me. There that 3 people with different tastes (nu-metal, rock and thrash) in music with a single favorite band. That's why metallica rocks.
ryhansen1 Those are some pretty solid albums, but I just truly believe, from front to back, this trumps all their other work. Best metal album of the last 20 yrs man
i dont care what anyone says, this album is not that bad. agreed, its metallica's worst album...but thats speaking more to the quality of the other albums more than being a slight to st anger. i'd rather listen to this than 80% of the crap coming out nowadays. it's aged really well
Huh. Major tallica fan here, own the album haven’t rocked it in years but always thought it was “in a world of his own” as opposed to inwards he’s grown. Although I’ve always been slightly tone deaf and off key myself. 🤘🏻AWMH🤘🏻listen ,donate, love, appreciate Sucker!!
The Slipknot vibe is real with this one. I agree with the other comments that St. Anger is way underappreciated and those who dont like it must have never went thru any real hardships.
Quiza soy de los pocos pero a mi me gusta bastante St. Anger Si es algo muy distinto a metallica antiguo y del que muchos nos enamoramos y por el cual nos gusto pero no suenan mal
Seeee creo que es cuestion de acostumbrarse ya que para muchos fue un cambio, aparte las personas estaban critican porque era el primer album de Robert
They did that on purpose. Just read the Wiki page for it. They wanted that raw garage band style because of the struggles and tension they were all going through.
honestly kinda reminds me of something off of slipknot self titled. that snare legit sounds like clown’s keg sets. and the guitar definitely sounds like something mick would write
For me it is this, because of it's rhythmic style to it, and probably the best produced out of the other songs, Frantic, best lyrics arrangement (if you know what I mean, not like Purify) and Self-titled song, cuz of how fast it is. Dirty Window is the only St. Anger song I have in my Spotify library that I didn't enjoy...
This album is better than REload and garage inc. imo, cuz I can relate to this album more, I just fucking love the raw sound and everything, it's so heavy
eh, people can like what they like. i don't think it's ALL that great COMPARED to some of their other work but, lord, anything by metallica is god-like, so why complain?
This song would be St. Anger's redemption, if it weren't for the bad drumset(Lars is doing the best he can with it), still a pretty good song. And still the best one on St. Anger.
Fun fact: James didn't write these lyrics. No one in the band wrote them. Robert Jens- Metallica's studio advisor- wrote them. That's why they're so hysterically bad.
I just LOVE this song! It reminds me of a time when I accidentally ate some of my own shit and vomited for the rest of the night, trying my hardest to block out the remainder of what it tasted like, but getting high on my own toughness cuz how many people accidentally eat their own shit and don't have a mental breakdown or a permanent aversion to mushy, rotten, rancid, green olives? Now, imagine that whole scenario but dealing with my ears and brain instead of my mouth and stomach. LOVE that repetitive snare and sophisticated lyrics SO much! LOVE IT!
St. Anger is like its own part of metallica.
It almost has its own fanbase.
It does.
Favorite Metallica album right here!
TONGGGGTONGGGGTONGGGGTONGGGG
It has a fanbase, and a haterbase too
@@mihalymate624 One noticibly larger than the other
This album is amazing when you're genuinely in a pissed off mood with the world.

fuck yes
You mean every day?
And yet everyone shits on it.. Fuck those other "True Metallica Fans".. REAL Metallica fans appreciate this album
🤘🤘🤘🤘
“In this song, Metallica tuned lower than Korn. Let that sink in”
Comment from official song’s UA-cam video, RIP removed by UA-cam auto generated music policy
This is lower than some cannibal corpse songs
DROP G# aint no joke
Sad that James didn't use his 7 string for this song.
I hate the auto generated music policy bs, it’s pointless.
So many good comments are lost
As the invisible child of Narcissistic parents, I feel this all very personally. It's nice to be seen.
The older I get, the more I am appreciating this album.
me to
It seems to be aging better.
I still cant get over how terrible Lars snare drum sounds. WHY DID THEY LET THAT HAPPEN??
its joke because that is why I like st.anger. it sounds like if those drums were made out of metal
It's more of the concept itself I appreciate. They had a pretty good struggle through the making of this album, almost fatal. I don't see this as a album they tried their best at, just letting out some aggression.
Folks should realize too, one of the most legendary albums ever was Garage Days. And it had way worse quality.
This album is underrated, this song is underrated.
It's already a legend.
This comment is underrated
Your brains are underdeveloped
Better underrated than overrated
It’s probably the most hated Metallica song and yet is somehow still overrated. That’s how bad it is
thing is people don't realize what james was going through during the recording of this whole album i suffered from addiction so i know how james felt and all of that are put into the lyrics of every song on this entire fucking amazing album
What, does being an alcoholic turn you into a fifteen year old who cuts themselves for attention?
@@bigdaddychemster1201still a good album byeee👏
I'm OK, just go away
Into distance let me fade
I'm OK, just go away
I'm OK but please don't stray too far
Most beautiful and effing relatable
as a child I knew very well what it was like to grow introverted this song is more than beautiful it's transcending
Yes, but I personally find myself imagining a more hardcore case of that with this song - think the "hikikomori" types in Japan!
omori reference!?!?!
Exactly the feeling I have with this song. Makes me think about my teenage years in Highschool.

It's honestly my favourite Metallica album.
Can't beat that gritty, dirty, raw flavour.

One of my favourite song from St.Anger
Kairumon Darkkley And mine 🤘🏻🤘🏻
Ur funny

The ending is simply the heaviest riff Metallica has ever made.

James Edward Russell great point, other than the fact that I was reading this with one breath lol, but yeah, good point
hahaha the lack of punctuation is real indeed. Love how real this album feels though.
Metal is metal, nothing else to it.
I freaking love this song
the lyrics are about me and my life .
Wyborg Law Same here dude.
edgy.
Gwyn's Last Knight eh,some people really lived tragic events. he's no edgy teen,he just wants to let off some steam by speaking about his problems, and gathering attention,which I guess is a pretty good thing if you want to stop being an "invisible kid" some people earned the right to be edgy sometimes.
same, man
Same. I have social anxiety so everyone thinks I'm always calm and quiet, they don't know the real me at all.
if the mix was better this would've been a badass album
Yea honestly just change Lars' drums, or the snare at the very least, and it would have been received a lot better. They killed it
@Patataki Tequila That adds to it. The mix does not.
@@LeglessWonder The snare isn't the only issue. It's how the mixing is done entirely. This album has some really bad mixing with the left and right channels. It's definitely not recommended to listen to this album with headphones on.
@@LeglessWonder The snare is supposed to simulate the anger, plus hearing this with a normal snare just doesn't feel right
if they got rid of the ooohhhhhhhh part, this would have been praised by metallica fans instead of hated
this song gets to me its my favorite by them tbh it reminds me of me and others like me the invisible kids they keep to themselves locked away in our brains hiding away from the pain i mean look at the lyrics they say it all...
awesome band! and awesome album! i haven't heard a bad metallica song ever. they always put out great music.
FUCKING AWESOME HETFIELD!!
Is this what you love, matt?
Pat was right, this song is fucking trash.
You're fucking trash.
Krugg Kruscherp Thnx bb 😚
It's fine
Which video was this song mentioned in?
I don't know why, but this song reminds me of Shinji from Evangelion. It fits perfectly with his personality.Someone should make an Evangelion AMV with this song.
I love this song and this whole album. METALLICA rules!!!
it's nice. it's just diffrent than others songs from Metallica, i think☺
1:57 my favorite part its just so different
I lied its 7:55
the snare sound is so awesome
I know right!! I don't understand people who say that the snare ruined the album
Is good because sounds heavy and haré
But sucks because sounds louder Than all The instruments, this Is The problem
weriak This album is definitely one of my favourites! 🤘🏻
๖ۣۜVeil because it sounds like a trash can
I love this song !! hits close to home..i was an invisible kid!!!
My favorite of this album for sure ! it really gives me the chills !
it crazy this album has a heart beat of its own and it won't die love metallica
You know this song describes how I feel most days.
every time I listen to this album it gets better
In my current situation, this is the best Metallica album to listen to
amazing song! always loved St. Anger.
If you forget the fact that this is a metallica album it's actually quite good in itself 🙂
i love st anger just cuz its so different
worst metallica album
elitist alert
Yeet Yeyehe, how about Lulu?
Yeah.
Same and it's amazing to listen to when you're very angry.
Even "classic" Metallica is painfully imitable. At least this album has a distinguishing feature.
Yeah there will never be another St Anger because of the state the band were in back in 2003.
George McKenna Is saint anger's thing that its all shit?
+Dylan Crozier It certainly is a hot mess but I find enjoyment out of it.
Demon Rantz I will never understand you, sir.
@Shallex Bro you're replying to a comment from 2 years ago. To answer your question, I my opinion on the album has changed. It's not that bad
Had they recorded this album 3 or 4 years earlier, it would've came out at height of nu metal like Soad or Korn and would've been way more popular.
They were writing this right when Nu Metal was huge…
I know they’ll never admit it (like Slayer did with Diabolus in Musica), but they were subconsciously influenced by it
Isn't metallica already one of the most popular?
I listened to this song a lot when I was a kid. Unironically...
The best song of the album
Best. Album. EVER.
I would say it's "Load". They had some emotional songs in there. St. Anger is still awesome though.
Master of puppets for me.
There that 3 people with different tastes (nu-metal, rock and thrash) in music with a single favorite band. That's why metallica rocks.
Brandon Westfall Even though my favorite Metallica Song (Frantic) is on here, my favorite albums were Ride the Lightning and Death Magnetic
ryhansen1 Those are some pretty solid albums, but I just truly believe, from front to back, this trumps all their other work. Best metal album of the last 20 yrs man

By far the greatest song by Metallica. Criminally underrated !!!!!

that fucking snare my god
I have a fucking earworm now! 🎸🎵🎶🎵🎶
I don't quite get the hate for St. Anger. It may not have any guitar solos but the album rocks
I love this song so much for being the most hated Metallica song. I can connect with the lyrics so much.
Let the naysayers say what they want but DAMN, this Metallica album is the best! Brings back memories from when I was a teen 🤘🏻
Great song
I agree with John Lewis. Ballsy of metallica to do what they want.
Djent approves (drop G# tuning)
I see a lot of people disliking this song but I actually like it.
The snare sounds good on this song
Drop G# tuning?!
Respect.
Drop G#*
Love St Anger. My 5 old daughter likes this song
This and TUF are good sheyeet.
If this album where made from another band will gona be Great....still Great the Lyrics,the meaning and the emotion are so powerful
For me, the best Metallica album ever!
Only old people like this album. This shit is like tap water. Everyone will always choose bottled water over it

The Slipknot vibe is real with this one. I agree with the other comments that St. Anger is way underappreciated and those who dont like it must have never went thru any real hardships.
The snare drum does so annoying mess in this song. But it's very good song.
Dammit Pat, stop reminding me of St Anger...
I've never heard this song or any song off this album until Pat talked about it, now I have a burning hatred for Pat.
Which Pat? TBF Zaibatsu Pat?
Brandon Tachiera Yep, Fuckboivin.
Lol,when did he mention this album? Podcast?
+Brandon Tachiera In a Ride To Hell episode if I recall correctly. I could be wrong though
This song is so catchy in a good way
I might be the minority but I like St Anger,is a cool album.

It’s almost 20 years after the release of the saint anger album, like come on this album is actually fun despite the snare being pain in the ass
man these drum sound great
Quiza soy de los pocos pero a mi me gusta bastante St. Anger
Si es algo muy distinto a metallica antiguo y del que muchos nos enamoramos y por el cual nos gusto pero no suenan mal
Es que St.anger no esta mal incluso es bastante pesado solo que el sonido de la bateria es muy molesto.
Personalmente no la encuentro molesta, es decir, no es la mejor cosa pero no me molesta tanto

Fun fact: James didn't write these lyrics. No one in the band wrote them. Robert Jens- Metallica's studio advisor- wrote them. That's why they're so hysterically bad.
Solophent II they’re not that bad
Feel how heavy that riff is then the fucking bongos come in
I just LOVE this song!
It reminds me of a time when I accidentally ate some of my own shit and vomited for the rest of the night, trying my hardest to block out the remainder of what it tasted like, but getting high on my own toughness cuz how many people accidentally eat their own shit and don't have a mental breakdown or a permanent aversion to mushy, rotten, rancid, green olives?
