Free Music Notes for Garage IncFree Music Review: Great!
On this album Metallica manages to cover songs by their heroes and make them sound like their own while still staying true to the original. That's an extremely hard thing to do. This album is comprised of both new and old cover versions of songs. The first disc recorded in 1998 and the second disc containing songs from their ep's Garage Days Re-Revisited, Garage Days Revisited as well as b-sides and 4 Motorhead covers called Motorheadache. I will review each disc seperately. The first disc opens with the Discharge song Free Speech for the Dumb. This song is extremely heavy and James Hetfield's voice fits this song perfectly. The next song It's Electric was originally recorded by one of Metallica's biggest influences Diamond Head. They make this song all their own. The Black Sabbath song Sabbra Cadabra is next. This is a classic Sabbath album track. Though hardly anyone can touch Sabbath Metallica does a fine job of it. Next up is the first single and Bob Seeger classic Turn the Page. This song is proof of Metallica's versatility as a band and musicians. Kirk Hammett's slide guitar is top notch. The next song is the Misfits classic Die Die My Darling, while Metallica's been accused for ruining Misfits songs I think that they do an excellent job with them. Next is the Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds song Loverman. This song begins slow and moody then throughout the song gets heavy. Next is a medly of Mercyful Fate songs such as Satan's Fall, Curse of the Pharoahs, A Corpse Without Soul, Into the Coven, and Evil. This medley is excellent. Kirk Hammett's guitar playing is excellent and James' voice fits these songs perfectly. The Blue Oyster Cult song Astronomy follows, this song has kind of the same format as Loverman. It begins slow then kicks into a metal song. The second single and another one of the strongest songs on the album is Whiskey in the Jar. Metallica remade this Thin Lizzy classic amazingly. The band is extremely solid on this track. The next song surprised many fans of the band, it is a cover of the Lynyrd Skynyrd song Tuesday's Gone. It is nothing like any Metallica song with the exception of Mama Said off of Load. The do however do Tuesday's Gone great. The last song on disc one is another Discharge song called The More I See. This song has a very solid groove and shows how tight a rhythm section Jason Newstead and Lars Ulrich are, it also shows that Metallica is still and will always be the premier heavy metal band. Disc two begins with songs from Garage Days Re revisited which were from 1987. The first song is the Diamond Head classic Helpless. Lars begins the song with a fast drum beat. This is one of my faovrite songs on this compilation. James' voice is also great but very different from the way he sounds now. the Small Hours is a song that was recorded by the band Holocaut. This track begins with a melodic and almost creepy guitar part and a simple drum beat until James' rhythm guitar comes in and then it kicks into a slow heavy song. The Wait was originally recorded by Killing Joke. It like every other song on this album is heavy, there's nothing really special about this. Crash Course in Brain Surgery which was originally recorded by Budgie is a strong point on this album. Last Caress/Green Hell were originally Misfits songs that I think Metallica did amazingly. I personally feel that these songs put the originals to shame. The next two songs are from Garage Days Revisited from 1984. The first of the two in my opinion is the difinitive Metallica cover song, Am I Evil? This Diamond Head song is truly amazing. The whole band is great on this song especially Kirk Hammett. This song is also occasionally performed live. The next song Blitzkrig is also great, it was originally recorded by the band of the same name. This is another really strong point of this album. The next section is called B-Sides and One-Offs which were recorded between 1988 and 1991. the first song is Budgie's Breadfan. This is another fan favorite for Metallica fans. This song is followed by yet another Diamond Head song, The Prince. This song is also fantastic. The Queen classic Stone Cold Crzy follows. This song was recorded at the same time as Metallica was asked to perform the Freddie Mercury Tribute show. This cover is really good and does the original justice. James Hetfield also performed this song live at the Freddie Mercury Tribute Concert with the surviving members of Queen as well as Black Sabbath co founder/guitarist Tony Iommi. Following this song is the Anti-Nowhere League song So What. This song is still a live favorite and is performed at every show. This song also contains some of the most controversial lyrics I've ever head. The last song in this section is Killing Time which was originally recorded by Sweet Savage. There's nothing really that special about this song. It's good but nothing special it does however have a great bridge/solo in it which in my opinion makes the song. The last section of the album is four Motorhead covers recorded in 1995. Theses are really nothing special at all. They are decent at best. Overkill starts it off, not being a big Motorhead fan I really don't even like this song to begin with so it really doesn't do anything for me. Damage Case, the next song, gets better. They do a good job on it and the guitar solo is really good. Jason does a good job on Stone Dead Forever, it's also an alright song. It's a very bass heavy song. The last song in this section is Too Late Too Late. This song isn't really that good either. Metallica does however make the song better than the original. It is a good way to close the album. As I'm sure most of you can tell I really like this album. I think this can stand up to their 90's albums. It is a really great album that I reccommend to anyone.
