===Disc 1===
The ecstasy of gold 02:30
Hmm well with most albums i get the first song tends to push me away rather than pull me in so i was
quite surprised when this pulled me in it has great tempo
Call of the Ktulu 09:34
I love the way Lars Ulrich (drummer) enters in the song with a steady beat. Again i was much surprised of the fact that i love listening to it even though it has no lyrics. There is a great rhythm going on with the guitars as well.
Master of puppets 08:54
Loving the start of this track this is infact one of the first Metallica songs i ever listened to...and i loved it, I love the lyrics to this song...they are just so catchy.
Of wolf and man 04:18
After listening to this twice i had learnt all the words and went around singing it for days, i got on my friends nerves and i must admit i was begining to get on my own nerves too. If you love a song with a bit of tension to it i guess this is the song for you, it has everything including an awesome riff!
The thing that should not be 07:26
i like classical music and didnt actually think that Rock music should be mixed with an orchestra but Metallica pulled it off. i think the riff of this song is a little bit messy(about 4:25 into the song). I gotta admit it isnt the best song but blends well with the orchestra behind them, it gives it a bit of an edge to it.
Fuel 04:35
One of my favourites espesially with the orchestra it makes it so much better than the origional in my oppinion. The beat gets the adrenaline pumping around your body and the rhythm of the guitar gets your head going too. I think this is one of the best riff's kirk has done in my eyes/ears.
The memory Remains 04:42
i've got to admit i have never heard such an awesome rhythm in my entire life, it keeps the song stable and likeable i think that if they did a different rhythm i wouldnt like this song. The riffs in between are flawless they seem to stick in my head and i find myself humming them from time.
No leaf clover 05:43
This one gets my foot tapping and my head nodding and i think if you are into this sort of music you should listen to this song.It's got a nice easy beat to it and the violins make it simpler and around 03:09 there is a really awesome riff that just makes the song 10 times better
Hero of the day 04:44
didn't really tune into this song to be honest, its a bit la-de-da for me so i can't really say much about it.
Devil's dance 05:26
The lyrics are awesome i wish there was a video for this song i think it would be amazing. try typing the name in on youtube if you want to listen to the song i highly recommend as it is a truly amazing song. It has a great bass line which I would love to learn but I never get round to finding the tabs
Bleeding me 09:01
The last song on CD1 not really a good one too slow on getting the beat up and it takes a while for the riff to come along. its not one i listen to everyday but i do once in a while just for a change.
CD2
Nothing else matters 06:47
Probably my favourite slow song of metallica's its got a nice feel to it. Nice steady simple beat great guitar work. i recommend this to any-one as it isn't heavy metal at all even though there is an electric guitar riff slotted in somewhere but it fits and doesnt really give it a metal feeling to me.
Until it sleeps 04:30
Not really sure what to say about this one, i love the tempo rhythm and bass but not sure about the lyrics and beat.
For whom the bell tolls 04:52
Now this is a beat i love and the orchestra did a great job blending in. The tempo is spot on, perfect if you should say
Human 04:19
I love the start of this track its a kind of sound you hear the native americans chanting too (amazing thing) the rhythm caught me off guard i really didnt know what to expect and was blown away when it started.
wherever i may roam 07:01
Cant sat much about this one it is not a favourite and i dont listen to it all that often.
Outlaw Torn 09:58
again not a favourite, the start did not pull me in at all not the best of metallica i can say that.
Sad but true 05:58
what a name 'sad but true' what a song though! great rhythm and awesome beat keeps it going and strong. amazing lyrics, it always makes me wonder how they come up with them
One 07:53
a song which is on GH3 and done for a film called 'Johnny got his gun'. it is a rather creepy song but nether the less such an awesome riff...the orchestra gave a kind of sadness with this one which i really didnt like to much but anyway...
Enter Sandman 07:39
a great song that is consistant on TV Music channels such as Scuzz ang Kerrang! not this version but the origional and it has made me very bored of the song...its a shame really
Battery 07:24
i kind of like this song and i kind of don't i like from 01:30 to the end but the start is completely off it doesnt really need to be there in my oppinon but the endin it immense =]
I love the album, i cant say that enough, But there are some tracks on here that dont appeal to me, but you do get that sometimes..I have My Uncle and Cousins to thank for becoming addicted to this band...but i also hold a grudge cause they went to see 'em without me =\ This is one band i would love to see live...i heard they are Immensely awsome
