Metal?

Metallica struggles to create work that matters to them for several reasons. They had gotten used to creating music under the influence of drugs and alcohol, and now, they are abandoning that method. They are forcing themselves to dig deep into their emotions in order to create music, which is something they are less familiar with. Also, the members are trying to allow each other to have creative freedom over each part of the song. Egos are being put to the test. Sometimes it's hard to feel as passionately about something, such as the lyrics or a drum beat, if it is not the one that you created.

I have a feeling that I will struggle with questioning myself when it comes to creating my work. I begin a project with full force and full of passion, but then as I progress, I tend to start second-guessing the decisions I have made, and I never end up with a final result that I completely satisfied with. I need to gain some confidence in my creative vision.
For work to be important, it has to be something that I can tell has been worked on passionately and results in an obviously well thought-out, creative piece. Important work doesn't necessarily have to be my taste, but if I can see the that the artist believed in his/her work, then it's important. I should say important once more.
