Anyway, I am SOOOOOOOOOO glad that I didn't pay even a penny for this steaming pile of crap!

That sentiment is pretty common. Not about the new Metallica album in particular, but about the state of the entertainment industry in general.
The New York Times wrote about that [nytimes.com] this weekend. For all of the hew and cry that people are killing the music industry with p2p because no one wants to pay for "entertainment" anymore, the new Harry Potter book sells 5M copies in the US its first day on sale.

    No. The steeply discounted price was free, but I still want my $8 back. The movie was that bad. The only redeeming feature were the other 99 perlfolk sniping at the film:
    The Architect: Denial is the most predictable of human responses.
    The Audience: No, it isn't!
