"For those who think that a tribute to a band has to sound like that band don't even waste your time on this album. For those who love metal, love Metallica, and love aggresion, get this album. The bands who cover the songs play with their hearts. You can hear the pride in playing these songs. They are showing all where Metallica came from, where they are going, and where these bands themselves are going. I usually hate tributes (Like the Kiss tribute which was so weak). This is for true Metallica fans and true metal fans in general. Lastly for those who think these guys are screaming on the album, go back to BSB and N'Sync and leave the metal to the true of heart."

This tribute really kicks... for the most part

"Metllica is and always will be the kings of metal, and for the most part this CD is worthy of wearing the Metallica name. First off, I must say that some of these cover versions just plain sucked! I won't mention specifics, but the true Metallica fan will find them with ease. However, there is enough good material here to warrant buying the disc. Most noteworthy are the covers of Whiplash, Fight Fire With Fire, and Damage, Inc. The band FIST, who covered Damage, Inc., actually used to play shows with my old band in Indianapolis, so I'm partial to that one. Overall this disc is worth picking up, especially for the die-hard Metallicatz."

I would have ginvin' it lower but there are no negatives

"I just heard the samples and i can tell you that this one sucks. I been Metallica fan for a long time and this is just plain garbage."
