You know you're in a room full of true metal heads when everyone has distinctly point to when metallica started to suck, especially if they all point to different albums.

Metallica died after Cliff died, that dude was the heart of the band. If you read up on Burton you'll find musical crossover with Martin of the great Faith No More.

In addition to 'One', don't forget the great 'Disposable Heroes'. Totally sold out with the Black Album and thereafter.

I remember them getting haircuts and piercings and everyone being like "wtf?"

That and the Lars/Napster stuff really soured them for me.

I know I'm not a "true metalhead" because I never cared about the culture, I only cared about the music. As far as I can tell, metallica still makes banger music. I am not an authority on this subject.

I'm not much of a metal head anymore but it was the first genre I was really into when I started developing my own taste in music.

They're not really for me but they're definitely still one of the biggest bands in the world with millions of fans and I'm not gonna tell all those people they don't have any taste in music you know? To each their own.

There's still at least three good tracks on that album. It does mark a turning point.
