Product Description

This double-CD, all-covers release could come to represent a vital turning point for Metallica. While Disc 2 is a straightforward collection of every cover the group have recorded in its 16-year history, Disc 1 comprises 11 new selections drawn from the oeuvres of such exciting and diverse artists as punk rockers Discharge and the nefarious Nick Cave. The heavier songs, such as the Mercyful Fate medley, Black Sabbath's "Sabbra Cadabra" and the Misfits' "Die Die My Darling", prove that nobody delivers a crunching riff better than these metal veterans. But it is vocalist-guitarist James Hetfields's confident approach toward the likes of Cave's "Loverman" and Bob Seger's "Turn the Page" that delivers the most electricity; here his raw, heartfelt vocals are largely untouched. Given that the recharged group spent only three weeks in the studio recording these tracks, it appears that these guys have remembered the value of studio spontaneity over laborious pontificating. Hopefully, that mindset will resurface in future projects. --Steffan Chirazi

If your a hardcore Metallica fan or if not this double Cd is a must have. A great arrangement of covers performed to perfection. If you have been told that Metallica have gone soft in the later years then you should just listen to the Cd and find out for yourself that that statement is not true. Metallica rock and will forever.

Garage Inc. is one of the best albums that Metallica have ever released. They may all be covers, but they still rock. Songs like Turn The Page, Astronomy, Die Die My Darling, Sabbra Cadabbra, Loverman, and Whiskey In The Jar really get me going. And what about the Mercyful Fate medley - good isn't it! Not only that, but CD2 also includes all the tracks from the Garage Days album, which, these days, you'll be very lucky to get. Does it get much better than this? I think not!...

I first heard this album when it came out back in '98 but which i've only just bought and loved the mix of songs especially on Disc 2 which covers Metallica's contemporaries at the time (early to late-eighties) as well as some of their personal favourites.
This album helped make me aware of bands like the Misfits and got me more interested in Motorhead who I've since seen live (30th anniversary tour @ the academy in Birmingham anyone?) What I really like about this album is the enthusiasim that goes into the songs such as the Diamond Head song Am I Evil? or So What by the Anti-Nowhere League.
Another good thing about the album is hearing James Hetfield singing songs like Turn The Page and Loverman as it shows another side to his voice. I liked this album after getting into Metallica more through the Black album onwards so would recommend it to someone who might not necessarily own their first few albums.

Metallica - what else can you say
These dudes are awesome - the cover of Turn the Page is a particular favourite as it is a real slow and heavy classic. Still turning out the goods after 25 years, as well. Read more
