Have you actually listened to the album? It's horrible nu-metal all the way.
St. Anger was a very lazy attempt to re-invent themselves.
Their initial demo tape is better played than this crap.
As for Load and Reload, I too like them. They aren't in the same league as the first 3 albums, but they are nice blues/rock albums. However you can't use the rehashing argument when the supposed "new" concept is as horrible as St. Anger. The drumming is terrible, the vocals are a joke, the guitar playing is laughable considering some of the stuff Kirk and James can do, and don't even get me started on Bob freaking Rock....
