Continues to focus on apparently everything else, but making good music after it demands that music reviewers invited to listen to the album take down posted reviews even though ALL WERE POSITIVE!
Metallica just can't seem to figure out what the heck it's supposed to be doing. Is it a band or is it some sort of "content production entity" whose fans are nothing more than "revenue streams?"
First it was going after thieving fans who dared to take money from the mouths of the "starving" millionaire bandmates. We all know how that one turned out as almost as many people per each dollar they had earned over the years forever turned their backs on the band that had seemingly turned its back on them.
And then for a brief moment it seemed as though things had changed. Many of us didn't buy it, but you want to give the guys responsible for albums like "Ride the Lightening" or "And Justice for All" a second chance right?
For about a month and a half ago it seemed the time for reconciliation had come when Metallica gave an interview with Rolling Stone magazine - at a "Record Store Day" of all places - in northern California.
