There has always been a large debate over what Metallica's best song is: Frantic or Purify? Unfortunately, due to some strange trash can sounds that appear every time one listens to either song, the debate still rages on.

Eleven songs, 75 minutes and eight seconds on and Metallica answer. St Anger is the fruit of a year's work which had gestated from years of criticism, success and experience. Disjointed, uncompromising, raw and utterly heavy this is Metallica's call to arms. A welcome return to form, yet a flagrant and successful attempt at kicking the boundaries outwards.

The work of this lineup is scattered throughout Metallica's early works and is very controversial. The sole difference between this lineup and Metallica's first major lineup is Dave Mustaine as lead guitarist. Mustaine wrote many of the lead guitar parts in several songs on Kill 'Em All, as well as some of the riffs on Ride The Lightning (such as 'The Call of Ktulu'). Mustaine claims to have ... written parts of 'Leper Messiah' (Master of Puppets) and 'Dyer's Eve' (...And Justice for All). None of those claims has ever been acknowledged by the other members of Metallica.

This is Metallica at their most open and down-to-earth. Hetfield clearly poured his soul into the lyrics of “Mama Said,” and the results are undeniably unique. Sporting an acoustic twang normally reserved for traditional country music, “Mama” is that Metallica song you can fall asleep to. Yes, such a thing exists. The climax of the song is as intense and heartfelt as anything Metallica has ever recorded.
