Maybe i was exaggerating a bit, but lots of people i've talked to are not very fond of it. And i've read many negative reviews also. Anyways st. anger seems to grow on me, i like it more and more everytime i listen to it. And in my book that is the definition of a good cd :) I'd rank it among their top three albums with Master of puppets and And justice for all.. Sure its different from before but there's no need to do the same stuff over and over again.

About Bob Rock, i was quite worried what would happen when they first started working with him. They've survived for ten years without him completely destroying the band, so maybe he should be given some credit ;)
