Lars went on about how the album was meant to sound like a few guys just jammin' in a garage, although I can't see how having a snare sound like an empty silo getting hit with a sledgehammer is supposed to sound like a jam session. He also said that Hammet didn't do any solos because they wanted the album to be more of a focus on the band, not individual parts and solos singled Hammet out, which in my opinion is bullsh*t because people mainly just take notice of the singer when the others aren't doing anything outstanding.
Rock said that he produced the songs with Pro Tools, which he was renowned for, but put the different verses and choruses together poorly such as cymbals getting cut off. This was an attempt to make a mockery of how today's music is produced, with little talent needed from the musicians, just good production. He also didn't harmonize the vocals with the guitars, something else he is notorious for, to make them sound more in tune with another.
Personally, I don't like St Anger but I never really liked their music after they became popular.
