IT'S WAY BETTER THAN THE LAST 2 CDS THAT CAME BEFORE IT
(Rated this album with 8 out of 10) Reviewed by

THIS IS NOT AN ALBUM, BUT A 2-DISC SET THAT HAS METALLICA DOING RENDITIONS OF THEIR FAVORITE SONGS. WHILE THIS CD WAS HIGHLY UNNECESSARY, IT WAS A HELL OF A LOT BETTER THAN ''LOAD'' AND ''RELOAD''. OF PARTICULAR INTEREST IS METALLICA'S RENDITION OF MOTORHEAD'S ''OVERKILL''. BUT, THE RENDITIONS FOR SONGS LIKE ''AM I EVIL?'', ''FREE SPEECH FOR THE DUMB'', AND ''THE MORE I SEE'' ARE JUST DOWNRIGHT CORNY. THOUGH MANY OF THESE NEW VERSIONS DON'T COMPARE TO THEIR ORIGINALS, THEY'RE STILL WORTH CHECKING OUT. BUT PLEASE, DON'T DO ANYMORE CDS THAT JUST COVER OTHER PEOPLE'S SONGS!
