St Anger is pretty underrated, I would also add that Load and Reload are underrated too but I like Hardwired and Death Magnetic better. I still love Death Magnetic eight years on. The songs are great when played live.

I haven't heard it in ages because it's the only Metallic album I could never really get into. I think part of my problem with St. Anger at the time is I was judging it as a Metallica album and it just didn't sound like the Metallica I knew and loved. maybe i need to give it a relisten with fresh ears and just forget that it's Metallica and judge it on its own merits.
