When you're able to brandish the kind of musical firepower that Metallica has unleashed for more than two decades - 10 uncompromising albums, marking an unprecedented reign as the Greatest hard rock band in history - you learn a thing or two about where to aim. But curiously enough, the making of their first studio album since 1997's Re-Load, the primal, raptorial, St. Anger, found Metallica not behind the turrets this time, but in the firing line itself.
St. Anger...will draw comparisons to...Metallica's halcyon days, most notably their classic 1983 opus Kill 'Em All, and 1986's Master Of Puppets.
