Advantages: Good Music, Interesting Concept

Disadvantages: None

Once in a while an album comes along that you know you will listen to forever, no matter what happens to you or how your tastes change. Typically you might include Bowies Stardust, Beatles Sgt Pepper, Led Zep 4, Deep Purple Made in Japan or Aerosmith Live Bootleg. This is one of them. I have been in and out of Metallica since Lightning, but kind of drifted away after Cliff was killed, not for any specifi reason. Occassionally I'd listen to some of their stuff, but it was occassional.

Then I happened upon this album. Looked interesting, a sort of greatest hits with a symphony orchestra. So I bought it and WOW!!

The contrast between Metallica & the LA Symphony Orchestra is amazing. Both powerful, both melodic yet one from the world of heavy rock the other from the world of classical music.

All the songs are great. Personal favourates include For Whom The Bell Tolls, Fuel and a new track, One Leaf Clover which deserves to be a massive hit.

Last week I found a DVD of the concerts and this was even more amazing. Choose different angels, see a documentary on the project - and the sound qulaity seemed even better than the music CD.

This is a must buy CD and DVD. If in any doubt, just do it - try it and see.
