5.0 out of 5 stars The best slow song EVER!!!, July 16, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: The Unforgiven II (Audio CD)

It may not be as good as some heavy metallica songs, but as a ballad, it kicks! I can't get it out of my head (which is good) and it is much better than the unforgiven I which sucks majorly. However, Reload (the album which this comes from) doesn't have the quality of this song. Top Class!!

5.0 out of 5 stars The Unforgiven 2, July 9, 1998

INFO: The American release of the Unforgiven 2 single.

Track 01: The Unforgiven 2 (6:36) (From the album ReLOAD)

Track 02: The Thing That Should Not Be (Live) (7:09) (Original version available on the album MASTER OF PUPPETS)

REVIEW: The Unforgiven 2 ballad will sound a bit strange if you are a fan of the original Unforgiven song, however it won't take long before you'll be singing the lyrics in a duet with James. This time a man in looking on his past and realizing that he was stubborn and did make a big mistake, asking for his girlfriend's love, knowing he doesn't deserve it, and that she 'is Unforgiven Too.' More like a reprise of the original Unforgiven, yet unique in it's own way, different than most 2-part songs released before.

First things first: the print on the actual CD identifies The Thing That Should Not Be (Live) as having a play time of 4:40. However, the actual play time is 7:09. With that said and done, the song is a must-have for anybody who enjoys a great heavy and mysterious song bordering on the edge of insanity leading up to a dramatic climax and a sudden ending. Not your typical low-quality live track.

4.0 out of 5 stars A good addition to a Metallica collection., July 5, 2000

I have always thought that The Unforgiven 2 pales in comparison to the original, and that is the main reason that I haven't given this the full 5 stars that the live tracks would be worth. The live tracks are all well performed, and being recorded in what is actually a nightclub here in the UK, you get the genuine impression of a really good and close atmosphere.b A good buy, but only if you like live tracks, otherwise this may be worth avoiding.
