Track Listing:
1 -
Ecstasy of gold
Originally recorded by Ennio Morricone
for 'The Good, The Bad, and the Ugly', not a Metallica song but the perfect
introduction to the album.
2 -
Call of ktulu
(Hetfield/Ulrich/Burton/Mustaine)
Original Version
Available On
Ride the Lightning
Big long instrumental song,
not one of my favourites, but a classic all the same.
3 -
Master of puppets
(Hetfield/Ulrich/Burton/Hammett)
Original Version
Available On
Master of Puppets
Again not my favourite
song on the album mainly because this is really the only track where the
orchestra doen't work. It adds noise to the background and degrade rather
than enhances the song.
4 -
Of wolf and
man
(Hetfield/Ulrich/Hammett)
Original Version
Available On
Metallica
This is so good, one
of my top few songs, with the orchestra this song really reaches its absolute
full potential from the 'Black Album'.
5 –
The thing that should not be
(Hetfield/Ulrich/Hammett)
Original Version
Available On
Master of Puppets
Another great track, its
dark powerful nature is only enhanced further by the orchestra, not to
be missed by any Metallica fan.
6 - Fuel
(Hetfield/Ulrich/Hammett)
Original Version
Available On
ReLoad
This songs fast paced nat
ure is again enhanced by the orchestra, a great track.
7 -
The memory remains
(Hetfield/Ulrich)
Original Version
Available On
ReLoad
Better than the original
buit still not quite good, some like, most Metallica fans don't. It just
doesn't have that Metallica aggression, the atmosphere with the live orchestra
is very strong in this track, and this does improve it, but not enough
in my view. I would have liked to see 'Fade to Black' from 'Ride the Lightning'
replace this track.
8 -
No leaf clover
(Hetfield/Ulrich)
Prevously unreleased
(lyrics)
Sort of refined and
yet manages to maintain the aggression of a Metallica song. A previously
unreleased track and one of my personal favourites since getting the album.
9 -
Hero of the
day
(Hetfield/Ulrich/Hammett)
Original Version
Available On
Load
Don't like this track,
it's too slow and has nothing to recommend it.
10 -
Devil's dance
(Hetfield/Ulrich)
Original Version
Available On
ReLoad
One of the best songs on
the album, it was a great song originally, but the orchestra again seems
to add that certain something to make it really exceptional
11 -
Bleeding me
(Hetfield/Ulrich/Hammett)
Original Version
Available On
Load
Although the first time
I heard it I didn't really like it I've found myself liking it more and
more each time I hear it. The intro is still poor, buit once it gets going
its actually not a bad track.
12 -
Nothing
else matters
(Hetfield/Ulrich)
Original Version
Available On
Metallica
Despite what some people
say, this for me is one of the best songs on the album. Its a completely
different song from the others being ballad, it was the first one written
by Metallica, and I think it works well, especially on this album, with
the orchestra.
13 -
Until
it sleeps
(Hetfield/Ulrich)
Original Version
Available On
Load
Another of the best tracks
on the album. It always was a great song with a seriously good riff in
the chorus and the orchestra does enhance the song even further.
14 -
For whom
the bell tolls
(Hetfield/Ulrich/Butron)
Original Version Available On
Ride
The Lightning
My favourite track
on this album at the moment it is perfect when combined with the orchestra.
The live crowd add a further dimension to the song and add create a serious
adrenalin pumping experience. Not to be missed, I can't fault it in any
way.
15 -
- Human
(Hetfield/Ulrich)
Previously unreleased
(lyrics)
Another great new song and
well worthy of a place on the album selection. The orchestra plays a big
part and this is one powerful song. The introduction is supreme, and the
song in general is very good in every way.
16 -
Wherever
i may roam
(Hetfield/Ulrich)
Original Version Available On
Metallica
Great song enhanced hugely
by the orchestra.
17 -
The outlaw
torn
(Hetfield/Ulrich)
Original Version Available On
Load
Not the best but this track
is still good and one of the better tracks from Load. The orchestra again
plays quite a big part and enhances the track well.
18 -
Sad but
true
(Hetfield/Ulrich)
Original Version Available On
Metallica
Another great powerful track
on the album. The orchestra again adding a new dimension to the song.
19 - One
(Hetfield/Ulrich)
Original Version Available On
...and Justice For All
Very powerful, intense,
and one of my most favourite songs on the album. Its a great song without
the orchestra but with it, again, its enhanced to new levels.
20 -
Enter
sandman
(Hetfield/Ulrich/Hammett)
Original Version Available On
Metallica
Recognised as one of Metallicas
best, and known worldwide after its single release, this song is even
better with the orchestra.
21 -
Battery
(Hetfield/Ulrich)
Original Version Available On
...and Justice For All
One of Metallica's most
powerful songs and with the orchestra the power is simply increased. A
powerful aggressive end to a great album.
