A double CD composed entirely of a collection of, for the most part, poorly done covers. Is this what we expect from Metallica, a band that is supposed to have great songwriting ability of their own? Not at all. Two of the covers ("Turn The Page" and "Loverman") are very good, but the others either just weren't meant for Metallica (such as the Skynyrd cover) or shouldn't have even been attempted. Now, I personally don't like covers; I'd rather hear a band release only its own work, because originality is most of the reason to like a band. I guess if you like covers, you'll like this one, but if you've been disappointed with the recent Metallica downfall (I'd say that it was after Load that they started going down, because I actually do have somewhat of a liking for Load), don't expect a relief from the plague in Garage, Inc.
