Alright, this one might demand some explanation.
I have a general dislike of Metallica. I have not been quiet about this opinion. I have said often and loudly that they are one of the most overrated bands ever. People often will retort, “the first four records though,” to which I usually respond, “first three, and even then.”
And yeah, there were plenty of better metal bands around the time that deserved the success Metallica got (Iron Maiden, Slayer, Death, to name a few).
But overrated doesn’t necessarily mean bad.
