My favorite song from this album is The call of Ktulu. I feel like, despite not having a single lyrics line, it has a great synergy with both the song's name and album's cover art.

Well, its a way to preserve music history, show them to younger audiences.
I remember falling asleep to this album when I bought my first Walkman

Obligatory, fuck Metallica. Most metal bands had lyrics about social injustice, history, religious oppression, and other anti-established themes. Metallica sang about nothing and stole Napster from the planet so they could increase profits by 0.1%.

So they shouldn't be celebrated? Cool sounds, yeah. Shit corporate band. Least metal band of all time in action.

So I'll be that guy: the recording industry "destroyed" napster. Not some band. And let's be clear here- this was just the next battle in the corporate war that existed as long as recording devices have. It wasn't new, novel, or even the end of music sharing. In fact thanks to the Streisand effect and some extremely bad press filesharing got a boost.

Yeah... there were a number of bands that acted as the face of that campaign - Metallica being one of them. I'm not sure if you know how the recording industry works but if your label says jump: you did. They were no exception. Let's not pretend that most labels weren't financially motivated to mislead their artists, either.

If you don't like the band: cool bro. But I gotta tell you statements like that make you come off as some stupid, uninformed, hipster cunt.

Did Led Zeppelin destroy Napster? But to answer your question, no.

led zeppelin had sexual relationships with minors

but youre right, destroying napster is far worse than that
