the two albums I've mentioned are 2 of the most hated metal albums. And some will say Risk is hardly a metal album, which is quite correct.
 
I for one pick Risk; there are still some good songs - Prince of darkness, Breadline, The Doctor Is Calling, Time (The Beginning/The End); the album was a shocker because of the soft sound, but taking the music for what it offers, there's still some good songwriting in there.
 
St Anger suffers of bad production, it' really sounds like a demo, it sounds unfinished, it's rushed; the riffs, although not bad, are awfully repetitive, where was Hammett, I dunno, Hetfield gives his worst vocal performance (and the ending of All Within my Hands is simply dreadful).


I agree! Happy comment.

St. Anger is poorly!

In defense of Metallica here. St. Anger needed to be done that way

I have to go with Risk, the production is better and at least it was an expected album after 'Cryptic Writings'. I don't, however, hate St. Anger. It's certainly not a great album, but I think it gets hated on way too much it was just Metallica trying out something new and it just didn't work out. Smile 

'Lulu' on the other hand...Let's hate on that instead Wink

^^ Megadeth was good for me when I was younger but I just can't get into them anymore. I popped in Countdown to Extinction the other day and it did nothing for me Ermm

St.Anger is pretty bad too though

Well if you are not really a fan anymore, I´d probably skip "Risk" too. Personally I think it´s a pretty good album.
 
St. Anger on the other hand is pretty bad. I don´t enjoy that one.

I can't vote because I have not heard Risk yet. I don't think I want to either. I'm over Megadeth's material anyway

Glad to see one other person is insane as I!

St Anger

granted its not more then mediocre, but I like it better.
Megadeth, Metallica, Slayer and Testament. The real Big Four of thrash metal!

I don't have Risk, but I absolutely detest St. Anger. One of the worst albums I've ever heard... I can't make it through more than 3 or 4 minutes of the album. Ermm

There are elements of both St. Anger and Risk that I enjoy actually, but as a total Megadeth fanboy I must say Risk. LOL

"Risk" vs. "St. Anger", I go with "St. Anger". But I'd take "Risk" over "Load" and "Reload" any day.

I haven't heard enough of Risk to make an appropriate selection.  No vote, but neither album seems like my cup of tea.
