Add one thrash metal band and one high-class symphony orchestra, and you appear to have complete opposites, this could never work surely…or could it? Metallica appear to have done it in the best possible way. Combined with the San Francisco symphony orchestra, Metallica recreate some of their greatest masterpieces in front of a live audience. This is an album full of vibrant energy, and despite somewhat betraying their thrash routes, shows Metallica at their best. The idea is not original, as Deep Purple will no doubt testify, but the musical “odd couple” have combined to create a magnificent record, despite what “true” Metallica fans say this is an excellent album and worthy of any collection. Drama on the stage has never been so real and true, the music generated by this consortium is masterful and worthy of the original songs, plus you get the added bonus of songs not previously recorded by Metallica (Human and no leaf clover). This opinion will be contradicted and condemned but trust me when I say this is truly an all time great, and you will not be disappointed.
