This is a post-release discussion of the album, not an, "I heard a song on the radio, or I downloaded a few and it's crap" discussion.

Heh, now listening to Some kind of monster, nice shit, Shoot Me Again has some really heavy riffs in it too, It kinda sucks that they'll only play Frantic and St Anger live, because the other songs are better in my opinion...

Not a big fan of Shoot Me Again, except for the last couple minutes of it. It gets fuckin' nice around that time.
My few favorites right now are Some Kind of Monster, Dirty Window, My World and Unnamed Feeling

After a few listens of the disc, I like it.....but it gets repetitive for me. I really like Sweet Amber and My World. I can't seem to get into it as much as the old stuff but it sure beats load/reload for me.

i've only heard the first track so far, but although its better than load/reload, it also seems more hardcore now, is this true with the other songs?

I listened to entire album yesterday, and it sucks....
The sound quality is crap, I mean the drum kit sounds like a set pots and pans (is this the right word??). Overal I think it sounds like rage against the machine... I hate it... rating 5/10

Its just the way the album has been produced, it has a trashy edge to it, which makes the album sound more raw.
I guess they overdid it on the snaredrum sometimes, it sounds hollow, but its part of the mix I guess.
I don't know how the hell you can compare it to rage against the machine though  |

I like how sanderinos says "it sucks" and "i hate it" but it still gets a 5 out of 10.
Is that not funny to anyone else? Something I hate is not gonna get shit outta 10 from me.

From what I've heard of it, it sounds to me like they try to be a little like System of a Down.....

Actually its not stupid when its true...Listen to those hollow sounding snares and tell me it doesn't sound like that Toxicity song by SOAD. (the part where all the little teen kids are going in a circle in a mosh pit in the music video)

The System of a Down thing is an opinion. Saying the album is great is an opinion. No one's opinion is "true" or "fact". Now move on.

Saying that 'they try to be like System of a Down' is conjecture. Saying that they do sound like them is opinion. It could be that System of a Down sounds like Metallica. It could be coincidence. It could be any number of things. It's not as thought SOAD was the only band to have that snare sound. You cant say a random similarity you find between two bands writing in the same genre at the same time is a 'fact.' Was Metallica trying to be like Slayer 17 years ago?

I think the album is pretty good. The guitar sounds are slammin, there are some pretty cool riffs, and the vocals (for the most part) are okay. The production on the drum sounds could be a little tighter, but they give the album a cool "underground" feeling. A few guitar solos every now and then wouldn't hurt either, but overall I'd give St. Anger a 8 out of 10. The DVD kicks ass too.
Some of my favorite tracks so far (in no particular order) :
Invisible Kid
Purify
Frantic
Dirty Window
The Unnamed Feeling

If that comment was directed at me, which I think it was, I'll have you know that I said " it sounds to me like they try to be a little like System of a Down"
Anways I got the album for an extremely low price. Mainly to complete my metallica collection. It sounds good loud. Even better with headphones. Some Kind of Monster is my favorite one so far. I haven't listened to the whole thing yet. |

To be honest, the album was OK, the song St.Anger made me laugh when
it came to the part where it was like "You Push It Out" but later when
I bought the album, its actually you flush it out....
Lyrically the album sucked, heavyness of the album was better than
Re-load, over all I would give it a C-
