Title pretty much sums it up. I’m a Metallica fan and have been for like 25 years now. I think the snare in St. Anger is fantastic. It’s raw. It’s dirty. It feels genuine.

The most unpopular opinion of all time. Congrats OP.
I also unironically love St. Anger.
It doesnt bother me
But I also dont listen to Metallica
I like that they went in a direction though and tried something
That snare makes the song badass, I wasn’t aware that was an unpopular opinion.
Metallica sucks, upvoted
I used to like the opening of the video with the CO talking to them ‘In the event you are taken hostage, the state will not negotiate your release for the release of another inmate, you ok with that?’
Metallica went off the boil for me a few years before this album, I stopped taking much notice of them after Load.
Love that song.
I like it too. And the song.
I really hate that snare… Congrats
Someone finally did it! A true unpopular opinion. I’m so proud of you!
I’m sure someone will be Madly In Anger With You for this one.
I like it too
This is Reddit. Maybe 1/20 people reading this even know what you’re talking about. And out of those 1/20, 1/100 have an opinion on it. So technically even having an opinion is unpopular. Which makes this a popular opinion. You lose
It’s the reverb on it for me. If it didn’t ring out it would be an awesome grindcore snare.
It really peaks on Dirty Window, especially the intro.
Metallica fans love to shit on st anger but I think it’s a fine song and album, definitely doesn’t deserve the pile of hate it gets
Something about the production in Saint Anger (the title track) made me fucking laugh my ass off at one point for how shitty it sounds coming from a band as world famous as Metallica, I don’t know if it’s the drums but the way James says “YOU FLUSH IT OUT” sounds so horribly out of place and poorly integrated. It literally sounds like a they paid a 12 year old soundcloud rapper less than $10 on craigslist to be in charge of ALL the mixing and production of the album.
I don’t think the snare couldn’t work, and it probably did on other songs, but in that song at least it’s very poorly mixed and too fucking loud. The songwriting underneath could have been great but the production/execution just really holds it back.
