I hate Burton era Metallica fans who bitch about this, I hate Gabriel/Hackett era Genesis fans who bitch about this, I hate DLR era Van Halen fans who bitch about this, I hate Syd Barrett era Pink Floyd fans who bitch about this, I hate Peter Green era Fleetwood Mac fans who bitch about this, I hate Barlow era Dinosaur Jr fans who bitch about this, I hate Slovak era RHCP fans who bitch about this.
Well you get the point.

C'mon they hired Rob Rock to produce The Black Album explicitly so they could put a pop veneer to their sound, significantly, shorten up their songs, and reach as wide and pedestrian demographic as possible.
I'll be the first one to get on the soap box with you when it comes to elitist mother****ers crying "sell out" when a band gets some commercial success, or releases material that is more accessible than what they've built their fan base on. But Metallica...The Black Album...that's a watershed album if their ever was one, and not a good one.
