![]() Because of this, the second disc in particular feels way too all-over-the-place, with it constantly shifting between recording dates and sounds. The two discs of this album cover completely different ground, with the first disc being completely new covers recorded specifically for this record, and the second disc being the Garage Days EP released in the late '80s, plus various B-sides. But I guess that's what happens when the album is more of a compilation than an actually album experience It becomes really difficult to get into as once you've begun to get into the feel of the record, they take a complete left turn by covering an artist that they probably shouldn't have on this record. From Black Sabbath and Motörhead, to Misfits and Discharge, to Diamond Head and Mercyful Fate, to Lynyrd Skynyrd and Blue Öyster Cult and even a Queen cover, there's such a huge variety of artists from all sorts of genres and subgenres that it ends up being really messy. The range of artists and genres covered here is much wider than you'd want to hear from a covers album. ![]() An album that has one hell of a mess of a track listing and mostly just underwhelming covers. Nobody, not even diehard Metallica fans, have time for an album like this. It's just a really messy covers album that goes on for over two hours. is far and away the most inessential and least interesting release in Metallica's entire discography. Who would have thought that a bloated beyond belief two-disc compilation of covers would be better than most of Metallica's post-1991 output?
