Metallica bassist Rob Trujillo has discussed the awkward legacy of the band's divisive eighth studio album St. Anger in a new interview. Released on June 5, 2003, St. Anger was met with decent sales and topped charts around the world, but was heavily criticised by many fans for its raw production and lack of guitar solos. Speaking with Metal Hammer in their new issue, Trujillo, who joined the band during the St. Anger era, though didn't write on the album itself, claims that most people he speaks to personally have relatively fond things to say about the record.
“Most people that I talk to have found a place in their heart for St. Anger," he says. "What’s cool is pulling out [St. Anger track] Dirty Window in the set. The way we play it now, I’ve found my place in the songs we play and found a groove for those songs from St. Anger, almost like we’ve given it a facelift.”
