    I know that I’m going to get hate for this. I always do. I was a huge fan of Metallica. Whether it was “and justice for all, master of puppets, ride the lightning, kill em all, or their self titled album aka the black album. I even got garage days.

    Then Load came out, and I knew something was wrong. It was ok but wasn’t up to their usual standards. It was the same feeling I got when I heard Korn’s fallow the leader. Also, an ok album but not up to their previous quality.

    Anyway, I don’t remember which came first Napster or Reload. But, living in that time and experiencing it first had. It was like watching your hero become the villain.

    You can argue that artists deserve to get paid for their work, and they do. But at the time Metallica was signed to Warner bros. record company. Warner Bros. is who was really getting paid for their CD sales. Of course now they have bought back all their tracks and have their own record company. It’s a different story.

    Anyway, I literally haven’t bought a Metallica album since Load, and have refused to listen to them since. Most of the time the bad guys win.

    Fuck Metallica.

    As a quick addition. I would like to say, that if you have to listen to metallica. OP picked a good one to listen to.

      No hate here, everyone is entitled to their opinion. You brought up good points and I felt the same way you did for a while but I figure there’s some things we can move past
