REVIEW: Metallica - Garage Inc. Elektra Records, 1998
9.5/10
Metallica - Garage Inc. - cover art This is a unique Metallica recording - 27 cover versions from Metallica's early days before the Kill 'em all album and some new recordings. The covers are mostly from the old classic metal bands but there are also cover versions of songs by Bob Seger and Queen. Some of the best songs from the history of metal music are covered by Metallica on this recording - Sabbra cadabra by Black Sabbath and Astronomy by Blue Oyster Cult - and as you might expect the Metallica versions are a lot better than the original ones. The first disc with new recordings is a very good one but unfortunately the second disc with old recordings is not as good, although it's not bad. If you already have all of Metallica's albums you would definitely also want this one - otherwise you will miss some of the best covers ever made by a metal band.
