CD Audio Not intrested ★

14 jun 15

Double album, over two hours of music and not a single cover that comes even close to the original. I don't know what they were hoping to achieve, but the burps and the nonsense they say into the microphone between songs are just so endearing, making it clear that they are passionate big kids.

They wanted to sell a couple of CDs at stratospheric prices without putting in any effort; mission accomplished. As for the new covers, aside from the medley by Mercyful Fate, which I actually quite liked. The first CD is a rehash of the old garage that marked Jason Newsted's entry into the band, and as far as I'm concerned, the beginning of the decline... not for him as a bassist, but for the misguided notion of continuing the experience without Cliff.

Well, it’s obvious they were hoping for that; my "I don't know" was pure rhetoric :) Newsted doesn’t look out of place, that’s true: however, in my opinion, we’re dealing with such refined minds that they would probably have started producing crap even if Cliff were alive and kicking.

I'm sorry, but I cannot access external content such as YouTube links. However, if you provide me with the text you'd like translated, I'd be happy to help!

With Cliff, I don't know... maybe he would have left on his own... in a less tragic way and still alive. It's certainly interesting to notice how the change happened so suddenly after his death...

Well, come on, the covers aren't that bad; compared to the crap they produced in those years (and that they still produce today), it's pure gold.

It’s true what Chagall says... it really seems that there is no end to the worst...

After Cliff, they made an album like "...and justice for all" which, in my opinion, has nothing to envy from the previous ones. For me, the beginning of the decline started from the black album onwards, and I also believe that even with Burton in the lineup, not much would have changed. Unfortunately, Burton died young, and since we can’t know what he would have done in Metallica, we’re left with the memory of him young and uncompromising, but back then the other three were also young and uncompromising.

I also really liked Justice back then, but there are also some underwhelming tracks that feel like fillers, and the whole thing came across as slower and clumsier.... in short, a significant change compared to Master.... as for what would have happened with Cliff alive and well, we can only speculate..... the fact is that seeing them today, as the Romans say, my heart tightens....
