Long Live Metallica

Mon., Feb. 16, 1998

Chris Plumb Rogers

This is one of the best Metallica CD’s I have ever listened to. I expected a lot of good songs and real heavy metal, and that’s what I got. This CD is very good; and most of the songs are awesome. There are a couple of songs that I would not listen to because the lyrics and the beat are off, including “Prince Charming,” “Attitude,” and “Bad Seed,” but all of the other songs have strong lyrics, a good beat, and it sounds like Metallica used to.

The songs I think make the CD stand out are “Fuel,” “Memory Remains,” “Unforgiven II” and “Slither.”

I have always liked Metallica but I think this is one of the grou’s best CDs yet. They really get into their music, and that’s why it works. If you like heavy metal, this is the CD to buy.
