They used to be good.
Metallica gave hints in an interview with Rolling Stone that it will follow the Nine Inch Nails and Radiohead model of Internet-based music distribution. (You can already download live show MP3s and FLACs, for the record.) Says Lars Ulrich:
We’ve been observing Radiohead and Trent Reznor and in twenty-seven years or however long it takes for the next record, we’ll be looking forward to everything in terms of possibilities with the Internet.
Unfortunately for Metallica, they released an album called St. Anger back in 2003, universally condemned as the worst piece of recorded music in history. “Madly in anger,” really? What does that even mean?
Oh, and they also helped kill Napster. That’s not how you win friends.

Watch the movie “Some Kind of Monster” and you might see why they are a bit strange these days. Psychiatrists do that to people. I should know, I worked as a psychiatric social worker in a mental hospital many years ago, and the psychiatrists were almost as crazy as the patients.
