and the whole notion of "selling out";
I think the response mettalica get with the new album should tell them what their fans think about it.
If doing a good(by whatever measure of good) album gets you sales,then a bad album shouldn't.The words selling out normally imply doing crappy stuff for money,and this is something I've never understood:
How does making a crap album increase your album sales?They should drop!
Or so I thought.
