"This EP is killer. This is better than Garage Inc. even if these songs are on it. Metallica really makes these covers their own. Much better than the sad covers of Garage Inc."

"I had this on tape in the late 80's early 90's when I was a teenager and loved it then. Rockin' memories of highschool and getting my drivers license. Of course, since then, I lost the tape and never found it on CD in any store. I came here and !BANG! there it is! woohoo..most expensive single-CD I have bought at 50 some-odd bucks,,but well worth every penny.
Love the songs they do on this album and the "out-take" garage-jam sort of feel to it. A few friends that really liked Metallica back then never heard of this album and when I played it for them, were blown away."
Short and sweet- lars review

"I bought this album in 86? I was around ten years old. This album was my first introduction to Metallica. As soon as "Helpless" kicks in- with lars' aggressive tom tom fills- i was hooked! and that's only 8 bars! Incidentially, it is because of listening to THIS album that I started to play the drums. I would like to add that Lars drumming here is probably his finest compared to the other metallica albums that came after- with the exception of "and justice for all.." so if u wanna rock with intensity! tuck your earpieces in your ear holes and crank it Up!"
My favorite metallica

"I got this on record a few years ago before this came out on the Garage Inc CD with all the B Sides. Nonetheless, I love this album, the album cover -- they all look really happy and on the back you see the picture negatives of them in and out of truck with Lars's father. Hearing these songs alone is a treat on record... You really feel the energy and the good vibes the band members had back then.
All the way through, it it classic Metallica doing some great covers, which you can totally understand the similarities of the songs they copy and how they were influenced.
Often when bands take it easy, do covers and fool around it can sound better! Last Caress (Originally by Danig) is better than the one on here, but this is all done just for kicks.
Oddly enough, it's one of my favorite "albums," and too add, I think it's better than the original Garage Days, because It has more songs. I think the songs chosen here are phenomenal and show a remarkable recovery since Cliff died the year before in a bus accident in Sweden. I
There's even a "nutty bow" to Iron Maiden's "Run to the Hills" on here as well. It is as if Iron Maiden, returned the greeting by putting on their "Be Quick or be Dead" single "...Metallica in the rear view mirror" in the song they covered "Space Station No. 5."
If you like collecting records, this is the one to have! Metallica, the raw Metallica!
PS: I am pleased to learn that you can records of Amazon too -- Sweet! They should make it more well-known!"
