Negative Positive
Title: Overrated to say the least.
Review: If you want to hear a truly brilliant merging of metal and a symphony...get Yngwie's Concerto cd or a Rhapsody cd and avoid this stinker. At least those guys can play on the same level with classical musicians. Hammett couldn't play with a symphony well if his life depended on it...and it shows here. His horrible sound and note selection rings out like a bad yodeler. Once again, we hear Hetfield "singing" in his worst register yet. What happened to this band? The worst thing is that they butchered some of their better, older songs. I hope Metallica has learned their lesson to stay in their talent level and leave the classical leanings to the pros like Yngwie, Symphony X, or Rhapsody.
Is the review positive or negative?
