I agree with the St. Anger thing. It was extremely disappointing, but expected from the money grubbing music machine that is Metallicrap. The song "St. Anger" is just downright annoying. My 7 year old could write better lyrics. Hell I think I had thrown out better song ideas than something like that song. If I were Bob Rock I would deny ever being in Metallicrap HQ in the studio. I give it the "Not even worth the time to piss on and light on fire" award for worst album of their career. Forget about making cash guys, and get back to what's important... the music.

As for albums I liked, I rather enjoyed:

The Ataris: So long, Astoria. It's rare you find a whole album where all the songs had single potential...

Bowling for Soup: Drunk Enough to Dance... Just one hell of a witty album. Cracks me up every time I hear it.

100% Pure Metal: 3 disc compilation... A hair band must have. Some really good live cuts from Alice Cooper, Judas Priest, etc.
