0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. DisappointmentBy Eric SmithThis was not a comprehensive enough compilation to warrant the title of "ultimate". in my opiniopn. My biggest gripe. however. is the treatment of a lot of the photos. For the sake of the book. some photos were altered by means of photoshop filters. etc. I have 3 concert program books of Metallica that are filled with Haflin photos. and many magazines with photos shot by Haflin. so I have seen most of the images included in The Ultimate Metallica book and know what photos have been altered. I feel the altering was completely unnecessary. Blowing out the contrast and adding a super-grainy effect to a photo doesnt make it more interesting-quite the opposite. I havent had a chance to read much of the text in the book. I bought it primarily for the photos. because what I thought this would be is a photo-documented timeline of some of the coolest Metallica moments. Its an okay book and if you havent been a fan for many years. like I have and you are not familiar with Haflins early work with the band. then you may enjoy this book. What I do like is Haflins very honest commentary about his experiences with the band. If he thinks Lars was being a dick. he is very upfront about it. His experiences with Metallica werent always very peachy.All in all. If you have magazines and other books with Haflins photography of Metallica. save your money.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful.
