What's cooler than Metallica? How about Metallica covers by scary industrial groups! They're not all dark and punishing; Tennis's cover of "Low Man's Lyric" is quite pretty. But mostly you're in for awesome beats, exactly the hyperloud reign of terror you would expect from something bearing the names "Metallica" and "Apoptygma Berzerk".

CD Reviews

Ugh, a disappointing waste of money.
A Kat Person | Bay Area | 09/15/2005
(2 out of 5 stars)

"Yuck. I like industrial (as well as techno), and I love Metallica, so I had high hopes for this series of albums, but I am now convinced that never the twain should meet. A few tracks were OK (hence the 2 stars), not great, while several were downright awful and unlistenable. Instead of re-creating a song in an interesting way as a good cover should, it seemed like they attempted to 'industrialize' it merely by screaming the vocals and adding more noise to the guitars, it is really just very bad, and it only made me want to listen to the original Metallica (or some other Industrial like Ministry that does not attempt to do Industrial by taking good music and ruining it with unimaginative noise and screaming...) argh. Anyway, not recommended."
Several strong tracks, but more merely so-so
Killer Shrike | San Diego, Ca United States | 02/07/2002
(3 out of 5 stars)

"As the subject line says, there are some very good tracks on this disk, but the weaker tracks hurt the albums rating on average.The Physical Attraction cover of Creeping Death is pretty good, as is the Apoptygma Berzerk cover of Fade to Black (one of my fave Metallica songs BTW), and the funky Innocent Blood cover of Enter Sandman is trippy take for the open-minded (but sure to be reviled by the more prosaic). Other notables are the mellow Tennis cover of Low Mand Lyric (although, it is a departure for sure), and Dreadline's Until it Sleeps.Still, its a pretty solid CD, with no clear losers. If the rating system allowed 3.5, I would go with a soild 3.5 rating. However, its clearly not a '4' so thus the 3 star rating....."
