We saved the worst for last. The first ever Cobras & Fire March Badness concludes with Metallica's 2003 disasterpiece Saint Anger. Recorded during a time of distress for the band. Bassist Jason Newsted had left the band. James Hetfield took a year off to get sober. All documented in the documentary Some Kind Of Monster.
