So after the horrors of "LuLu" Metallica are firmly back in business, this EP contains 4 tracks that for whatever reason didn't make the cut for Death Magnetic.
I think the easiest way of reviewing this is simply to say if you enjoyed DM then you will definitely enjoy this EP as the songs are very similar.
As you can see they are all reasonably long songs (do Metallica do short songs anymore?) and all the songs tend to veer off in different directions over the length of the song, personally I think these 4 tracks are better than several of the songs on DM.
They are fast, aggressive and epic, the songs bring to mind Master of Puppets era Metallica to me as the songs are more progressive than in recent years and contain quieter passages as well as more thrash like sections, in particular there is a passage in "Just a Bullet away" which brings to mind Orion.
All in all then 4 songs, (nearly 30 minutes) of Metallica kicking maximum ass for only £3.50, what are you waiting for?

Metallica are back! After the horrible disappointment that was Lulu this extra for the Death Magnetic album just reminds us why they are the biggest and best metal band in the world. Only four tracks on this, but they are all even longer than is typical for Metallica. The killer riffs and astonishingly fast and brilliant solos are back and the magnificent duo of Hetfield and Hammett are back and bad as ever. Every sond here could have been on any of their albums, especially the first two, which could easily have replaced a couple of tracks on Death Magnetic. My only gripe is that it doesn't seem to be available on CD. I guess everyone downloads these days, but I do like to collect CD's so my Metallica discography will be missing one.

Okay, just to put this in context, I am a long-term Metallica fan, own all their official albums (apart from Lulu...), and have seen them live twice - they don't do Ireland very often...
Death Magnetic was newly released and in my car's CD player the day my father died, and darkly underscores that event...
So, having waited for the intervening four and a bit years for something new (Lulu doesn't count), I was still pleasantly surprised to see this set of 'out takes' from Death Magnetic.
On first listen, I like the curious melange of deja vu / patina of age / lack of polish on the four longish tracks.
If you are reading this review then I suspect you like Metallica at least a little bit: go buy the CDEP -it's worth a few quid of your hard earned cash - you won't be disappointed...and if this presages Metallica's next full-scale CD album offering...then I won't be disappointed either!

True Metallica
Like the title says. All four tracks are true metalli'kina. Any metall fans will understand this short review as they have already bought this and probably agree.

Meh...
To be honest I can see why these tracks didn't make it onto Death Magnetic. It's an O.K. set of songs but they don't really stand out. Read more

Carries on where Death Magnetic left off, so if you liked that you'll like this. If you're still stuck pre-1990 then it may not be for you although I think I get hints of MoP... Read more

Metal is back
Forget the Lou Reed mishap, the boys are back in town. It's definitely much more Death Magnetic than And Justice For All but it's pure (Metal)lica \m/
