This cd really has two group of songs. Songs that Metallica have covered, and songs from bands Metallica likes. The Master of Puppets cover is cool once, but not again. Loverman is worthless for metalheads. Tuesday's Gone doesn't fit in. The ones that really work here are the Motorhead songs, the Diamond Head songs, and the Mercyful Fate songs, (but where's Satan's Fall?). If you want a collection of classic thrash, buy the first one of these, only get this one if it is cheap. I got my copy for forty-five cents.

The first volume is very good but not this one. Basically it's the original versions of all the songs that METALLICA cover on GARAGE INC.
The first volume makes one solid collection, and though this one has some killer tunes its a disoriented mix. Songs like TUESDAYS GONE, which I love, Lynyrd Skynyrd rocks, but it doesn't fit here.
The first disc is the stuff that was underground when METALLICA was coming up the ranks. Its the stuff you'd expect to hear. The stuff that mom hates and it makes your ears bleed.
The second has LOVERMAN by Nick Cave and the Seeds.

WHile it isn't bad, it just seems to me like a way to make more money. I'm not sure I like the whole concept of this thing anyway. I mean, its not like these bands aren't awesome on their own. Do we really need to stamp Metallica's now pretty bogus name on a collection of songs that really has nothing to do with them? I don't really understand.
Buy a MOTORHEAD CD, and you'll feel a lot better about yourself.

This CD is a must for any true Metallica fan. Some really great titles of rock and heavy metal music that inspired the Metallica guys.
