Ranking Every Metallica Album From Worst To Best

10. St. Anger (2003)

Best Tracks: Frantic, St. Anger

Worst Track: My World

Almost universally regarded as Metallica's worst album, St. Anger was a low-fi experiment that sometimes works, sometimes not, but touts an extremely stripped-down, bare bones production quality that rubbed up most fans the wrong way.

Lars Ulrich's snare drum in particular was widely panned and remains a point of mockery among fans, such that some genius even edited the St. Anger snare into Master of Puppets to hilarious effect.

There are a few crackers on the album that can transcend the mostly failed experiment, but there's a reason why fans have so much disdain for songs like My World and Invisible Kid. Also, no solos is a real shame.
