The Annoying Frenchman wroteAnyway, people are not going to say Metallica has sold out this time. Bad or good, this move was quite unpredictable and seems to be a genuinely art-motivated one. At least, there's something to be happy about. :wink:
Great thing about Metallica is that I don't regard their new releases as essential anymore unlike other currently "malfunctioning" bands like Iced Earth.
So if it sounds shit, I just ignore it.
On the other hand I frantically buy Iced Earth on the hope they'll improve.
Took me 2 In Flames albums to realise this with that crew and their malfunction just got worse as time progressed. One dud album from the Haunted stop me buying them as well.
