I just heard St. Anger for the first time... and I have to say these things:
1) Guitar is WAY undermiked, WAY underplayed. There needs to be a MUCH bigger guitar line there. Otherwise, it's not bad...
2) It's a LOT better than the "Load" albums. A LOT.
3) It's not "old Metallica," but remember this... bands don't want to make the same album every time they record. They want to change things around, and explore outside their style, and that's what Metallica was doing with the Load albums (which sucked anyway) and now with St. Anger. Overall, I really don't think it's that bad, but if you were expecting the same old thing they'd always done, you had to know that you weren't going to get it. Personally, I think it's pretty good as far as music goes, and if they fixed that whole guitar thing, it would be even better.
Also, the lyrics in the title track could be a little less repetitive.
