Metallica Drummer Responds to Death Magnetic Complaints
Responding to complaints made by users that the Guitar Hero version of Death Magnetic is of better quality than the CD on store shelves, Metallica drummer Lars Ulrich complained that he can’t “keep up with this shit”, explaining why they did what they did.
Said Ulrich: "You gotta remember, when we put out ‘…And Justice for All,’ people were going, ‘What happened to these guys, this record? … It sounds like it was recorded in a fuckin’ garage on an eight-track.’ And now ‘…And Justice for All’ is sort of the seminal Metallica record that supposedly influenced a whole generation of death-metal bands."
As for the new album, Ulrich referred Rick Rubin’s decision to sacrifice sound quality for loudness, stating that he and James Hetfield (band frontman) had “made a deal that we would hang back a little and not get in the way of whatever Rick’s vision was.”
May I remind everyone that Metallica’s albums have always sounded low quality? It has to with their ‘signature’ sound I guess. There’s no point in making such a fuss over it.

Almost anywhere you go the most common term that you will hear is band frontman. I’m here to give this record to help all the motivated forex traders out there that are probably not doing as good as they deserve to be.

Lars is a fucking idiot. Trust Lars to come out and try and validate the shit quality.
There is a big difference between low-quality and shit quality. Metallica can say goodbye to any future purchases of their CD’s, at least from me.
