Bullsh1t, who said it even has anything to do with metal at all? Where have I mentioned any 'kult' metal bands? This is about Metallica.

Read my post again - who cares if they play guitar (ZOMG i play geetarz!)? Clearly they haven't heard a wide range of music - I'm not even going to comment again on the Simple Plan cover.

If you show those 4000 readers Circle Takes the Square and the majority think it is utterly atrocious, are you going to snap your CDs and be done with them?

The "this person says it's good so it must be good" argument is incredibly weak.

The IMO part about this post was kind of funny.
So what? I was just adding my own opinion to it. I didn't consider this an argument until you came in antagonizing me with untrue stuff; i.e. metal elitism. If you're going to be a prick, GTFO.

And since I didn't at the time consider this an argument, and seeing as it is the thread for Metallica discussion, I thought an opinion on Metallica might be appropriate.
