Mark Rice’s Reviews > Metallica and Philosophy: A Crash Course in Brain Surgery > Status Update

Enjoying this, although not as much as I enjoyed Black Sabbath and Philosophy: Mastering Reality. The latter was an inspired mix of philosophy, lateral thinking and humour, all underpinned by the morals and lyrical themes of the band that started it all (metal, that is), Black Sabbath. A joy to read. The Metallica version feels less organic. A wee bit contrived. And overly flattering rather than objective.
