Kerrang on METALLICA's 'St. Anger'
 

---------------------------------------------------------
METALLICA's forthcoming effort, "St. Anger", is nothing short of "the finest thing [the band] have put their name to," according to the latest issue of Britain's Kerrang! magazine, which recently had an opportunity to preview a couple of the cuts set to appear on the CD.

"The volume is intoxicating, the songs even more so," the report continues. "METALLICA haven't gone backwards, they have gone elsewhere, somewhere they haven't really gone before. Much of the speed is back — speed that recalls the days of 'Battery' and 'Dyers Eve'. But the format is remarkedly different. This isn't controlled aggression, much of it is uncontrolled violence. It's ironic that at a time when the band are so at peace with one another they should make an album that sounds like they're at war. As one track follows the another — there are only working titles like 'Monster' and 'Frantic' — the difference not only between what you expect but what has gone becomes clear. There's no space between the drums and the guitars, there are riffs everywhere, there is anger and confusion — 'Do not know the answer, I don't know what the question is' is one lyric - there is swearing and shouting and time changes and speed and fury.

It is difficult on a first listen not to surmise that 'St. Anger' is the finest thing METALLICA have put their name to. All the songs I'm assured, sound like this. There are no ballads. Instead there's an assault of speed and volume and anger and intensity. This is exactly the kind of thing that made a slogan such as 'Birth, school, METALLICA, death' an apposite and appropriate summation of everything this band could muster, both in themselves and their audience."

ill believe it when i hear it oOo: bold statements coming from this zine. first 4 albums were metallica...the rest were pure garbage....it all changed for the worse when Burton died IMO....id like them to prove me wrong though....

Agreed.

But, I certainly don't blame Newsted for Metallica's change in style. Newsted rocked harder than the other three guys in the band, in my opinion.

I'll definitely try this one before I buy. If it's as heavy as kerrang make it out to be, I'll pick it up for sure.

Jason + VoiVod=pwned.....I hope that comes to light. He wrote a ton of music for one of their records (Phobos I trhink?)...Saw VoiVod a long time ago at Hammerjacks in Bmore.....man im old....

I'm seeing Voivod here in Ottawa in June! They're opening for Ozzy! I saw 'em open for Maiden in '99 too...very good set.

I can't wait to see Newsted live...too cool.

Hopefully that it wont be really fast crap with tons of swearing because thats equally not as metallica as Garage-Reload. Ron Trujillo looks like hell fill the spot nicely and hopefully well get a great album.

Alright this is encouraging, but I'll believe it when I hear it.

"Metal up your A$$!!!"

D00d, that says it all right there. I take reviews for crap, so you'll have to excuse me if I refuse to believe this magazine article. If they produce some good shit like back in the day, it will be a new era for their music again, man. All I gotta say is i'm seeing them on my birthday, my 21st BIRTHDAY!, and they better not skip town!!!!!

I hope they kick some ass, after the black cd they went down hill. Plus now they have a way better bass player, from suicidal tendencies. they are probably sick of every one calling them sell outs. I remember in the day they said they would never make a video. And they didn't mind posers as long as they stayed in the back. But that was with the great late Cliff.

Any news on a realse date?

I just down loaded the hunger demo its not to bad. better than any thing off of the loads cds.

Where'd you get it??

I got it from kazza lite.

i really like Metallica, one of my favorite bands, but the whole napster thing kind of turned me off from them

and there worst albume is "Garage Inc." even though it was cover of other bands,
Load wasnt that bad
Reload sucked
enter sandman cd ruled
ride the lightning was awsome
and the others sounded like ride the lightning so they were cool too

wow garage inc is a great cd. the loads sucked. and if you like ride the lighting you should be a megadeth fan. sinse that was a dave mustaine album all the way. i find it funny how bad metallica riped him off.

The bullshit is strong in this one.

Kerrang have really really gone downhill in recent years.
Not that i doubt metallicas new album will be worth buying, but i wouldnt get your hopes up by a review from a lets face it - shitty magazine.

its no bullshit i typed in hunger and got the demo song. and its metallica i know james voice. you dont believe me ill send you the damn song. i dont bullshit.

wow in fact i just went there again typed in st anger. and the whole cd there now.

. . .you ever heard of the term "fakes"?

haha joe is right.

it is a really good metallica cover band who got to do the demos.

haha, probably so cheap skates like you would download it thinking you had the real deal before anyone else. biggrin:

If any of you were music fans you would know Hunger is a song James Hetfield made with Dave Mustaine a while ago...

music fans??

so by that logic a classical music expert should know about the song hunger........because hes a music fan??

lmao i will have the last laugh. these songs are very demo ish and i am sure all not real but a couple sound very real. down load and listen to them other wise shut the fuck up.

you and probably a thousand others who have probably downloaded them too.
Youre threat to us to shut the fuck up strikes us with fear you couldnt imagine. seriously....

Megadeth/Metallica
Hunger

A quick test to see how the Napster filtering system is working resulted in this Metallica gem which floated straight to the top. It's an unreleased collaboration with fellow metal all stars Megadeth nonetheless. Metallica lore states Megadeth's Dave Mustaine was exiled from the band not on good terms, which makes this even more bizarre. While the recording does sound like both groups it is in fact a fake. I found out on the Megadeth website that its really performed by some bumblefuck metal band out Atlanta or Phoenix. Excellent prank though not as good as my Russian folk song disguised under the name Babyface Master Puppets Remix.

5th Track Down


GUARNERE = OWNED BY HIMSELF cry:

theres more than one song there. and there web site names that song as being on the new album. but some of sounds to good to be matallica any way. to modern, blah blah so dont try and turn this in to just a one song flame. maybe hunger is fake. but all the songs listed on album r there. some onlt 1mn long. demoms fuck up and such. i had demos of master of pupets before it was out, and know one played bass like cliff back then. so there real. as new songs i listened to them all only 3 sound like james.

Yes yes, Megadeth was the heart of Metallica. Well, where's Megadeth today? In the shadows my friend. evil:

Don't get me wrong, Megadeth is my 3rd favorite band, it's just that Metallica is no longer a part of Dave, Metallica is Metallica.
