One last thing. The only reason St. Anger is their hardest stuff since Justice is because all the fucking pussy shit between isn't even harder than Godsmack.

I guess that people have different opinions on what "hard" is, because I would agree that "Frantic" is a "harder" sounding song than "Leper Messiah". I didn't say better, however.
I consider St. Anger to be a pallette cleanser (at least I hope so) that gets Metallica back in the kick ass mood and sets them towards writing better music again. I still feel like they're doomed as long as they stick with Bob Rock, and that relationship isn't ending anytime soon (they consider him the 5th band member).
Anyone think Cliff Burton's influence was a bit underrated as far as the song writing went?
