Think of a neat, structured orchestra. All wonderfully skilled musicians, all sat, suited and booted, conductor flourishing his arms, and ready to play. Now think of the most popular heavy metal band. Guitars and amps plugged, drums screaming the silence of anticipation, all ready to blow your eardrums out... Now combine the two. What do you get? The most amazing album metallica have ever released.
Metallica, the most popular metal band in many peoples eyes, created this album in response to Michael Karmen, a conductor who approached them telling them he had taked a selection of their songs and orchestrated them. Sounds bizzarre, but Metallica agreed to try them out. Soon, re-recording existing songs with this wonderful new addition, as well as making brand spanking new tracks for the occassion, they had a full album. The S&M album. The sound is unbelievable. It simply generates such an atmosphere that it is very difficult not to just slip away and lose yourself in the music.
2 CD's worth of this are not to be sniffed at, and whilst the price range is anything from 10 to 20 pounds, a second hand CD shop should sell it to you for no more than a tenner. And it is worth it.
Such an impressive metal band, such a talented composer and conductor, such a coordinated orchestra... such a brilliant purchase.
Uncle Harris suggests: Buy the album. If metal is your scene you will love this.
