"This CD is teriffic. I don't even like Metallica. The high points for me are DOA, Agent Orange, Vice Squad, Dee Dee Ramone, and Flipper. This CD is worth the price for the sonically destructive Flipper "Sad But True" alone. While they [beautifully] destroy the technical side of Metallica in true Flipper dischordant form, the lyrics sound like they could have come from either band in their prime. There's definately a common thread there. (I heard the original "sad but true" on the radio recently and sorry, but it just does not compare!) The Vice Squad's pre-shout-at-the-devil-Motley-Crue-style take on their cut is notable too. This CD oozes with full-on energy and I'm hooked on it lately, although I've had it for about 9 months now! I just ordered "Smells Like Bleach," a Nirvana trib with mostly the same line-up of bands, and I expect it to be real good too :D Rock on peeps! [I reserve 5 stars for absolute classics, so 4 is darn good]"

"This album contains the most inventive and refreshingly interpretive rendition of Master of Puppets I've ever heard.



You've heard every one else on the planet, now here some new views. And if Dee Dee's Jump in the Fire isn't the punkest, then Shotgun Remedy's For Whom the Bell Tolls takes the cake."
