Title: Disappointing assessment of veteran band's 20+ year career
Review: Having read some initial buzz on this book, I was looking forward to it for a variety of reasons. No doubt about it, Metallica has forged an impressive career, dominating record sales, selling out hundreds of venues and providing enjoyment to millions of fans all over the world.Sadly, despite my high expectations, the book breaks little new ground. Almost all of the material within is simply a rehash of previous magazine articles and interviews. Even more disappointing, the writer's very open bias towards the band's earlier work leaves fans of the later albums (Load, Reload, etc) feeling like second-class citizens. It comes across not as an open-minded review of the band's career, but as a preachy 'better than you' attitude -- a complete turn-off.
