Risk vs St Anger

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.

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.
