I didn't really like St Anger... but I did like Load and Reload and everything else Metallica have done. In MY opinion, St Anger lacked a number of things; Production (ok, some people like it but I HATE that snare sound), Song length/strucure (3/4 minute songs being played for 7/8 minutes), NO solos or guitar harmonies (Oops. At least that doesn't totally date the album as a nu-metal album...) However, I recently listened to And Justice For All and it reminded me that Metallica are indeed one of the greatest bands ever.
