I don't write music reviews, but if I did, I'd have to write about it like Beavis & Butthead or a total bimbo who just goes on vibes, because I don't understand the technical stuff at all, and I don't want to sound like this person. I understand what a guitar is, and that a bass guitar and the drums work together. A lot of music is pretty dumb though. It's mostly entertainment for people who want to party on their day off.

So for this Metallica record. I might write something like:

>"This album is a good summary for people new to Metallica and just want to hear the band go a little bit nuts. You really hear Hetfield in action as he's singing songs about nuclear war wiping out humanity. That gives a sense of the grand, emotional stakes involved. I like this sort of Metallica. It took me awhile to finish it though because the songs are pretty long, but also because of all the times it made me stop and think."
