Metallica's counsel, on the other hand, explained that the band is fearful that album sales will decline because consumers can easily get hold of their songs just by purchasing video game titles.

They could fix that just as easily by returning to making music like they did in the 1980s. This is my opinion but they sound terrible nowdays.

EDIT: Let me rephrase that; album sales are already low, they could fix that by making better music.
