Free Music Notes for S&M
Free Music Review: MUCH BETTER THAN YOU EXPECT....
Hit: 5 Stars
When this album first came out, I wasn't sure I was going to like it. I wasn't entirely into the new directions the band had already followed, and I thought that this would be a new step down for the band.
However, this is one of the better Metallica projects of the later years. It's not insane metal like any of the bands classic eighties outings, but it takes the goods and does a little something different with them. The SanFran Orchestra does a fine job arranging some classic Metallica tunes, and rather than just present the project as symphonic Metallica, they include the actual band as well, so you get some guitars in the mix. Other songs work better than others, but a good symphonic CALL OF KTULU shant be overlooked, nor should the track that was recorded originally for the album titled NO LEAF CLOVER. I was totally amazed at how much that song rocked when I first heard it. Easily one of the most inspired Metallica tunes of that decade.
Anyway, I see a lot of people bashing this one, and I can't agree. There are symphonic rock projects that really hit the fan (Kiss Alive IV for instance) but this one turned out to be pretty good, and a highlight in the catalougue of post hey-day Metallica albums.
S&M Poster
At a point in their career when most bands would rest their laurels upon a greatest-hits package or live album, Metallica has done both, but with a decidedly loopy twist. They've recorded a double-live greatest-hits package with the San Francisco Symphony Orchestra "sitting in." Rock history and cutout bins are littered with previous attempts at a rock-symphonic fusion, from Emerson, Lake & Palmer to Deep Purple to the Moody Blues and the Siegel-Schwall Blues Band. But while previous efforts at mixing the low-brow with the high-brow have mostly ended up browbeating the intended audience, S&M plays like a precarious joy ride. Set against the shrewd efforts of a team of orchestrators and arrangers (who employ enough taste to keep proceedings from sounding like one long "Live and Let Die" outtake), Metallica plays for their lives, undercutting their general somber tone by ratcheting up their musicianship several notches. The most underrated player here is SFO guest conductor and soundtrack vet Michael Kamen, whose attention to detail and nuance--and intuitive grasp of the Metallica canon--keeps this unlikely meeting of the minds focused and on track. -Jerry McCulleyPop Music CDs
