    It kind of was. Not that Metallica stopped making music or that they haven't had further influence, especially regarding DMCA and music on the internet unfortunately, but their relevance in the metal scene was nearly completely nixed after St. Anger. They'll always have the legacy of their first five albums but only reason many people still listen to anything new they put out at this point is to see if they're still making bad music.
    EDIT: also the fact that they've only made three new albums in the 20 years since St. Anger, compared to seven albums in the 20 years preceding it

    For those that have sworn off the album, I encourage you all to listen to the radio edit of Some Kind of Monster because it sounds COMPLETELY different than the album version. The production is much cleaner and punchier, it's trimmed down to 4 minutes, and the pingy snare is toned down a lot. While it's still a little uneven structurewise, I think it actually sounds pretty great! Like it's crazy how much of an improvement it is. Honestly if the whole album sounded like that and the tracklengths had been shortened, it could have been pretty decent

    There's a really high quality remake of this by just one guy here on yt and with a normal sounding snare and slightly updated production a lot of the songs actually graduate to decent quality, notably the title track. To me this album's biggest sin is that its the most glaring example of metallica's biggest weakness: tone-deaf songwriting. They tried to capture the lightning in a bottle that was the nu-metal wave of the late 90s and early 2000s and in doing so revealed just how out of touch they were. Weirdly enough though, the songs have actually aged rather well, which isn't hard to see if you look up recent live performances of the title track. From a comment I read listening to that remake for the first time, "If this had been some unknown band's first album it would've been a huge success for them, but the reality is this came from Metallica."
    Edit: its also worth noting that this was when it became obvious that metallica was surrounding themselves with yes men in the studio

It was both a better experience and a worse one at the same time. Better because a few songs positively stuck out and I wasn't really bothered by the snares. Worse because I forgot I had skipped half way through most songs and forgot how excruciatingly long the project was for each song. For a band that typically has some of the best long-run tracks, this was a pain to get through again, WITHOUT skipping.

The drums are fine, there just too loud where other things get drowned out. There is a video of someone re-doing the album with proper production and in fixing the snare you loose a rhythmic element. Title Track Into and the breackdown in Some Kind of Monster hit harder with the snare. Very strong one TWO one TWO feel on the title track intro. It makes that riff for me. Just make the guitars louder and there a winner. But im also a SWANS Enjoyer. So. I love Experimental music like Nurse With Wound and such. Im used to abrasive sounds.

The drum sound (how does one go from Black Album's drum sound to this monstrosity is beyond me), song length (some of the sections were legit copy-pasted in pro tools just to make the songs longer) are the main problems. The "live in studio" version kind of fixes the first one. There were a few guys who rerecorded the album back in 2015 I think and it's pretty decent.
