Description
St. Anger is Metallica at their most volatile — a raw, unfiltered snapshot of a band rebuilding itself under pressure. Originally released in 2003 and now reissued in 2024 on limited edition “Some Kind of Orange” coloured vinyl, this double‑LP captures the chaotic energy of the Some Kind of Monster era. The production is intentionally abrasive: no guitar solos, a snare sound that became infamous, and performances that feel more like emotional exorcisms than polished studio takes. This pressing comes in a gatefold jacket and was manufactured in Germany, maintaining the high production standards of the Blackened reissue campaign.
Why It’s in the Crimson Vinyl Catalogue
Collectors chase St. Anger for two reasons:
1. It’s a pivotal chapter in Metallica’s story, marking the end of the Bob Rock era and the beginning of the Trujillo years.
2. Coloured variants always spike demand, and this “Some Kind of Orange” edition is part of the new global reissue wave — meaning it’s fresh, clean, and far more affordable than early pressings.
For Crimson Vinyl, it’s a no‑brainer: Metallica sells, coloured vinyl sells, and this era has a cult following among fans who appreciate the album’s raw honesty.
