Always strive to learn something useful. --Sophocles

A Metallica rep held a listening party for a guy who writes online music reviews in a blog and previews an early mix of Metallica's new album. At no time is an NDA mentioned or signed. The writer writes and posts a very favorable review, saying it's a good album and a return to form.

Metallica management forces the review to be removed from the web site.
