3 Metallica fans have completely rerecorded Metallica's 2003 album St Anger. This is something I have been wanting to hear since it originally came out. The recording style Metallica used was God-awful, though I always maintained that the songs themselves were not bad. I think this version is far superior to the original.
Last good album they put out was the Black Album, Load and Reload were ok. St Anger was just plain crap and no amount of redoing the songs are make up for crappy songs. Death Magnetic, although a little better than St Anger, it was so overproduced it killed any chance of it being a decent album.
There was so much praise and anticipation for Death Magnetic to come out and it very shortly lost any air play it was receiving. So overcompressed the instruments had no life to them, hated Death Magnetic almost as much as St Anger.
