Are you still madly in anger with this album or has it grown on you?

👇 We've got 10 Reasons Not to Be Mad at Metallica's 'St. Anger'

👊 https://loudwire.com/10-reasons-not-to-be-mad-at-metallica-st-anger/

1. Callbacks and Raw Anger in the Title Track

Taking the place as the title track for St. Anger, this is just simply one badass tune. The song is, no surprise, fueled by anger, and gives some pretty cool shout-outs to classic Metallica tracks like "Damage Inc." and "Hit the Lights" with the lyrics, "F--k it all and f--kin' no regrets, I hit the lights on these dark steps."

The music video for the song is even more intense, being filmed at San Quentin State Prison in California with actual incarcerated men as the audience. Metallica took home the award for Best Metal Performance for "St. Anger" at the 46th Grammy Awards.
