Its pretty hard to totally screw up Metallica tunes........
Mar 17 2002
Format:Audio CD
.....but these guys somehow did. They somehow turned "One", which could easily be called the best song ever, into a disco dance song. Whats next, NSYNC or Destiny's Child doing a cover of Megadeth's "Peace Sells, but Who's Buying"?
I usually enjoy tribute albums, especially Metallica ones, that are totally different than the originals. But turning Metallica to a dance groove is just wrong. Go pick up "A Punk Tribute to Metallica." It does the band justice. Listen to the Surf Punk Version of Seek and Destroy on that disc; thats how you change a song up, and still make it good.
The only reason this gets 2 stars is that it is a very interesting listen, borrow it from someone if you can, just for weird listen.
A great CD for angering a Metallica fan.

Judging from the reviews here and the time I played this for my sister (who is a huge Metallica fan), I'd say that no red-blooded Metallica fan would stand by this EP. However, James Hetfield and Lars Ulrich did endorse it (according to the liner notes), but I think they have a much better sense of humor about what other bands do to their music than their fans do. Personally, I enjoyed it. But what I found to be the strangest thing about it is that Die Krupps (and that's pronounced "dee" krupps because it's German) produced this before they began incorporating metal guitars into their music, so that nowadays they sound much more like Metallica than they did in the early '90s. In fact, they're featured on the industrial tribute to Metallica, "Covered In Black", doing "Battery", although it is a newer, more metal-sounding version than the one on this CD.
Stay away from this one!

Get this album if: 1) you like techno 2) you don't like Metallica in the first place 3) you've never heard any of Die Krupps' albums
I love Metallica and I love Die Krupps, but for some reason combining them was a BAD idea. Picture springy, robotic versions of 'tallica's songs barely recognizable from the originals, and Die Krupps totally selling out in some wierd way, and you get the idea. No matter how much you like Metallica, there's nothing much here worth saving.

not metallica's best sound, but not their worst either
It sounds worse than anything before the black album and better than anything after. It's better than listening to Hetfield's vocals now. A very cheesey cover album. Read more

I can't believe James & Lars allowed this
This album is one of the most atrocious few minutes of music I have ever heard. They give you two versions of "One" and they both sound outright comical- though I'm sure... Read more

Not worthy of covering metallica
What the hell were you thinking trying to cover metallica?? there are very few bands if any that could cover metallica. YOU ARE DEFINITLY NOT ONE OF THEM.

"Battery", "For Whom The Bell Tolls", "One" were my favorite songs. Metallica themselves made a comercial turn after "... Read more

Variation is good
I have to say that this is different but has a distinct different style to it. It has a lot of techno/industrial in it but this shows Metallica's impact on different genres. Read more

Good Job, totally worth buying
Hmm, I should admit that so many core-metallica fans would dislike this stuff. But I think this is very(yes, very) interesting variation based on die Krupps's own translation from... Read more

This album is horrible
I consider this album an insult to Metallica, you just can't take something like "For Whom The Bell Tolls" or any other Metallica song, and do a remake of it without any... Read more
