"i would have to say as far as cover albums are this one is the bomb! true some of these bands are indes,but they did good to metallica's rockin songs. i love metallica and i love the album. i really love this album the riffs are almost exact to the ones james,kirk,cliff and jason play. Unfourtnely,i didn't have any songs from "load". i would have loved to hear a cover of "king nothing" and "until it sleeps".great album otherwise."

DeathMetal-lica

"This sounds nothing like Metallica. If you are a metallica purest, I warn you now: DO NOT TOUCH THIS ALBUM WITH A TEN FOOT POLE!! Metallica purests will go out of their skulls listening to Nothing Else Matters and The God that Failed. Others would be bothered by the inclusion of King Nothing, a "Load" track, in the tribute. Infact, the only thing most purests might accept is the Coffin Texts version of Call of the Ktulu, which is the Metallica version with some sound effects. This is more like "What if? Metallica were a 90s death Metal Band?" Death Metal fans who may have gotten their heavey metal start with Metallica would appreciate this album the most. It's the old favorites with a much more rapid fire pace, and distorted lyrics. It's also a great jumping off point for someone searching for more death-bands to listen to."

Awesome

"This tribute album is [great]. All the songs are very good indeed. Even it suffered form bad production, i think Fist's Damage Inc. was one of the best cause its so awesome. And to the first reviewer who said they wouldve liked to see "king nothing" covered, well dude, it is...so i dont know if your reviewing without listening...but yea,"
