well... i guess it was bound to happen, after all there were those elektro/industrial tributes on cleopatra... I like it... it's a _FUN_ record... electroclash is about _FUN_ so this makes sense. The track listing here is different than on my CD, which has bands from Tokyo, Berlin and other cities around the world. I like the fact the artists sing in thier native langauges! How how to here Metallica songs in Japanese!

You know, a bunch of people are going to pick this up just for the sheer novelty of the idea.

The payoff will be when they actually get home and listen to it and find out that the artists involved actually put together some genuinely enjoyable tracks. If I heard one of these songs without knowing where it was from, my FIRST reaction would be "Hey, this is good stuff." The "hey, wait a minute, isn't that a Metallica song?" would come later. Then I'd have a good chuckle...and keep dancing.

As a long-time Metallica and electronic music fan, I am quite disappointed with this CD. Not only does this album not do justice to the Metallica songs it attempts to recreate, but it's also nothing special as far as electronic music goes. This CD was probably envisioned to do something similar to the S&M album, which exploited the amazing qualities of two clashing musical genres; but it definitely fails to do that. On most of the tracks, the Metallica lyrics are not skillfully integrated into the techno beats, so the words sound just plain useless. Many of the tracks distort the songs so much that I could not even tell which song a track is trying to imitate without looking at the track listing. This is quite a poor album, I would not recommend it.

This is the worst tribute to metallica I have ever heard. I am sorry to say this has nothing to do with metallica's music at all except for the lyrics and a poor try to combine matallica and electric music. I do not say that it should be impossible to do so, but it seems that it was so for those who tried to make this cd. If you will or cannot put an effort into a metallica project do not do it. This is not a way to honor a great metal band, it is a cheap way to try to ear some money on the behalf of good music.
I do like both electric, and metal music but this is no way to express either of them.

i didn't really know what to expect, but i like electronic music and metallica so i thought i would give it a shot. i thought the album was really good for a compilation and most of the tracks were done very well. i had heard of a couple of the bands before and thought they were okay, but i want to find more stuff by a couple of the ones i didn't know of, especially ai pod.

Those Bastards in this tribute cd don't even deserve to listen to the best metal band since Sabbath. The covers sound gay because it sounds nothing like the real thing. These covers are so stupid don't waste your time or your money, for crying outloud get real people that know Metallica,s Music. Good examples are Anthrax and Apocalyptica.
