Title: Sad but true
Review: Come on guys, I'm sorry you aren't selling albums any more, but this lame attempt at generating revenue by doing a Metallica "tribute" album just leaves me sad. I'm a huge fan of Metallica and many of the groups whose members perform on this album, but this is not a good product. In almost all cases the singer is the week point. Check out Unforgiven, good guitars, lousy vocals. Even John Oliva, the voice of Savatage, does a poor job. I wonder why they didn't let Lemmy sing on Nothing Else Matters? Most of these remakes lack any personality. The shining exception is the Jake E. Lee and Chuck Billy rendition of Seek and Destroy. Not Metallica's best tune, but this cover at least has that recognizable Jake E. Lee style (ala Ultimate Sin). Buy it to keep them from starving, but I don't see it going on anyone's "Most Played" list.
Is the review positive or negative?
