I never really lied metallica, they always were a rather average band to me. As for St-Anger was it just me or the effect they got from the drums was pathetic. I know it was done intentionally, but it sounded like a 3 year old playing, smacking away with a pen on a desk.
I'm much more interested in the fast approaching 4th album by Godsmack, the first song has already been released for streaming:
