advanced genius

jason hartley - the advanced genius theory: are they out of their minds or ahead of their time?

the wikipedia entry on the advanced genius theory

a few years ago rip and i "argued" about how metallica was no longer good and how their saint anger cd was proof of that. i said that the band had maybe progressed past the level that rip was at. people evolve, obviously, and so do bands. problem is that maybe the fans and the band don't evolve together. music is a pretty person experience, after all.

so imagine my surprise upon reading "the advanced genius" theory to see that apparently this was actually a theory! btw, i do NOT think that metallica is genius. and the book itself wasn't all that awesome either. the wikipedia entry sums up the book pretty well.
