Their music has certainly suffered over the years. Load was average at best, Reload was disappointing, Garage Inc was un-neccessary and St. Anger was ****. Personally I thought S&M was absolutely beautiful.

Their newer stuff may have won them a few younger fans but if Metallica are still "held on such a high pededstal" I would say its because of their older stuff really.

How would you define the term 'sell out'?

Garage, Inc was merely a compilation of their many covers that hark back to their earliest days rehearsing and I think it's a great compilation and I don't think it was un-necessary at all. Many fans at this point of release had never even heard the B side of Creeping Death 12" for example.

I know it's not a huge point concerning the bands progress but it's an album I love TBH.

Isn't it supposed to be the follow up to Garage Days Re-Revisited?

No. Garage Inc is an accumalation of every cover they had done until that point.

Really? I guess it did offer up some of the older stuff, maybe to fans who didnt know anything pre Black album too but I guess I have a habit of delving into B sides which may explain my indifference when it comes to B sides/demo compilations.
