	Yes, Metallica rocks my socks! I think this track is directed towards Jaymz alcohol addiction, in a sense. If you read the lyrics, St. Anger being the 'bottle', and the medallion noose with medallion being the thing that is cherished and glorified (alcohol, which is, in todays society, everyone just likes to get fucked up)...it's a glorified death due to alcohol addiction if he continues down this road. St. Anger 'round my neck He never gets respect This verse is about how St. Anger is overpowering his actions and he needs to drown his sorrows in said bottle because he needs the respect he lacks. Fuck it all and no regrets I hit the lights on these dark sets Tie a noose or hang myself Saint Anger 'round my neck This is sayin that hes just diggin himself into a hole deeper, and deeper because he cant conquer the demons. I need to set my anger free Get rid of the addiction I'm madly in anger with you He's still in love with the alcohol but at the same time he hates it, wants the need to be gone This song is identifying with the contradiction St. (meaning of holy or higher power) and Anger (meaning hate and dislike). St. Anger has the power to corrupt everyone's lives if the person becomes vulnerable enough not to stay in control. Metallica have done a good job portraying this imagery and the ability to make one use their third eye to see outside the face value of the lyrics. That is all.

	The rest of the alub is worth buying. It's aweome!! You won't regret it! Trust me. I liked this song the minute I heard it. I was waiting for this song to be posted. The whole CD kicks ass

	I agree with you about the age factor Whiteout2. They have changed with age, but thats not necessarily a bad thing. This album is more than just ok. Its not a masterpiece or anything, but its awesome, the most unique album they have done. They may not be like they were in the golden days, but they have incorperated the heavyness of old. In my opinion, this song, "St. Anger", was the weakest one on the whole album. This song is about anger, and how it is viewed negetively when its realeased, when in fact, anger is a good thing to "set free" and get off of your chest when you vent it the right way. Another thing, the lyrics in a few places are wrong.

	better_than_you The line "I'm madly in anger with you" is just a clever way of saying the complete opposite of "I'm madly in love with you." Sounds aquard but its just a better way of saying the overly used cliche of "I hate you". On a side note: Overall, this cd is OK. Just okay. I think Lars must have produced this cd cuz his drums just drownd out everything. I hate that steal-sounding snare and it just covers everything up. I agree the album is heavier than previous album efforts but if metallica is going to have 8 minute songs, they need a classic kirk kick ass solo. Most of the time one cant even tell the guitars apart. i guess i just have to face the fact that metallica will never be as good as they were in their glory days (kill em all, ride the lightning, master of puppets, and justice for all) after those, its all down hill but saint anger is a breath of fresh air and a sign that their heaviness is coming back. it just needed better production and more solos for the long songs. with no solos, the whole cd just sounds like one song. nothing really seperates them. plus the lyrics are more shallow than other albums. but hey, theyre almost all 40 and i guess just really have to face the hard fact that they will never be the metallica that i fell in love with.
