Title: ok, but not the best out of symphony/rock crossovers
Review: First off, let me tell you that I am a metal head in the purist sense of the word. Metallica have not released a metal album since their self-titled, which isn't bad, I'd just like to state that. This album is ok, the reason I say it's only ok is because most song on this album loose their original feel with the way James sings and with the orchestra added. It gives the old songs a different feel. My favorite on the track is 'Battery'. Now, if you want to check out some Real symphonic metal, go listen to Therion's previous release, Vovin. Symphonic metal with full opera vocals. Those boys know how to do it right, and have been doing it years before Metallica even thought about it. There are also quite a few black metal bands that do the symphonic metal thing, but chances are, if you're a fan of 'new' Metallica, you're not going to like black metal (the most extreme music on the planet).
Is the review positive or negative?
