Longish video, so I'll summarize. Finn does a good job with one. He's pretty measured here.

-Roots and The Black Album backlash from Metal fans
-Load and Reload
-Metallica Versus Napster
-St. Anger release
-Some Kind of Monster documentary. I remember this doc being so LOL. But I''m glad it was made.
-Death Magnetic. Did they ever fix this mastering? When the GH versions sounded better than the CD, I was like WTF?
I got into Metallica with the Black Album myself. I later got into their formative albums, which I ended up preferring over time. I still like the Black Album so the backlash in hindsight was not something I got, but understood. People hate change.
I do remember Lars during the Napster era. I thought he came off as an old man. However, he was right. We were all basically stealing music. However, his heavy handed approach was a bit much. Napster did lead to Spotify, Apple Music and such. While I use streaming services, as a music fan, I can't help but think they artist got the raw deal with them. CDs weren't better, but a bit more fair.
Still, there are my favorite metal band--yeah I'm basic here.
