St. Anger - Metallica

The title track is pretty good.

The tracks are far too long-winded and the vocals lack any real depth of power.

Of Lucifer & Lightning - Angelcorpse

Solid death metal.

Uninspired.

Def Leppard's coming of age album, pefectly polished

Probably not to be topped again by the band.
