Metallica is.. imho.. one of the most overrated bands in history. Music wise.
However, as a fan of music I can’t deny their influence. When the black album came out, it was the most “metal” music you could hear on MTV, the radio, etc. And because of them, the mainstream began to accept metal as a whole.
So the genre owes them a huge debt of gratitude. Their music is just kinda mediocre.
But this is also true for all of the most influential bands in history. Death, Kraftwerk, N.W.A., etc. None of them would be considered “great” by today’s standards. But their importance to music as a whole is undeniable.
Metalliwho ????
[spoiler]yeah they are a very bad band not sure how they even got famous guess some people have poor taste in music [/spoiler]
On a side note you should check out RedHook

Influential, important, and highly respected? Absolutely. Does that mean I like it? ...Yeah no. The songs aren’t bad, they just don’t hit like pre-89.
[spoiler]I get why there was the shift from “speed and complex to heavy medium tempo.” (dyers eve or anything from ...AJFA vs enter sandman).[/spoiler]
