I really like Metallica (up to "the Black album"), but never thought I'd live to see the day they'd get an orchestra in. I feel sorry for the orchestra (Sorry, I don't like it!) |

| I thought it was really well done, and that the orchestra really added to their songs. Plus some unlistenable garbage from the Load/Reload albums sounds considerably better on there. |

| I think it's an amazing album. I'm a huge Metallica fan (even the Load/Reload material), and I think everything was great on that album. I also think Hetfields singing was at it's best. |

Conducted by the late great Michael Kamen, too (apparently a big Metallica fan in his own right). Have to say I wondered whether this would work, but the orchestra seemed to fit in with the more overblown tracks like 'Kthulu'. Goo -------------

| I'm very sorry for this but if you knew me personaly you would know that I think S & M is the worst live album I have ever heard. I pretty much thought this even when Metallica (....sorry to say) was my favorite band. The band lost it after |

I don't think Kamen is a genious. He brings the orchestra together in a very slick way, but the lights and shades he brings out are too predictable to be expressive enough for my taste. And I'm not keen on the slick, homogenous sound - altogethe |

I guess I can agree with you. But I can really appreciate all that he did (who he worked with) in the business. -------------
