metallica did have 4 good cds, and for the 5th they were at their peak. yes it is a good listen, but they jesus christ they sued napster. i just can not support them. also they did sell out and their music was really bad when cliff died they got with bob rock. hopefully their new album will be good with the new producer and rob trujilio. rob is an awesome funk bassist. check out "Infectious Grooves" if you wanna see his one of his old bands.
