In introducing such subtle distortion, Metallica runs the risk of being
labeled a band with lousy sound.
IIRC, A lot of Metallica fans felt they had started putting out "lousy
sound" back around the "Load" and "Reload" albums. And that was before CD
DRM.
Load was the beginning of the downhill slide. There are a couple alright
songs, but all albums before that were filled with good songs. Reload was
utter crap (Unforgiven 2? Really!???). St. Anger I never really liked,
although I've heard that some people like it. It's not my style, but you
can't really say it was Metallica "selling out".
Death Magnetic is a complete return to their original style. I feel some
of the solos are rehashed, but there is a lot of good stuff on there.
