Performance tip

Before performing St. Anger, pace the early sections across its roughly 7:21 runtime so the ending still has energy. It will give St. Anger a clearer arc from the first section to the last.

Recommendation

Should you sing it?

With St. Anger, do not count on the room to do the work; it is better for a singer ready to own the lyric’s point of view. The song has a heavily repeated refrain and fairly active phrasing. Plan to carry the verses yourself; this is not rated as a dependable full-room singalong.
