| Ok the title is a bit silly since I don't tend to use FTW at all but having been an on again off again Metallica fan I have to say I would have paid full peice for this set of songs. Really enjoyed the range thay showed on this and I will probably go an pick up again my favorites from the past ...... I'm glad my girlfriend told me it was getting good press....and the fact it was 5 dollars at the time made it hard to pass up - price of a coffee and croissant cant beat that....

| i find reviews very helpful when buying music, even though we all have our own taste...Anyways, i decided to buy this album, as i have no other BFMV albums, after hearing some of the songs on it and i absolutely love it! I am a "newer metal" music person, and this album fits that category for me, but still has the older metal influence. What an amazing band, and you will definately be please after getting this album! Every song on it is good! That makes a person happy when you buy an album and every song is good, ... Read More: |

| It's almost twenty years after the black album came out. I was a rabid Metallica fan when this album first dropped (I was 14). At the time, I was extremely heartbroken. This was not the band that pressed the previous four albums (five counting "Garage Days"), all of which are still in my personal top ten of great heavy metal records.
I have bought those four albums several times, on LP, cassette, and CD. I bought this album once, on cassette, almost two full decades ago. This isn't one that needs replacing. Not ... Read More: |

| Why buy it?
- so you can understand why Metallica received negative reviews about Load, ReLoad & St. Anger - so you can hear the roots of Death Magnetic - because of Kirk's relentless shredding - James' pain forced out in Sanitarium, Heroes, Puppets, Battery... - Cliff's last recording - Lars at 100 mph vs. 70 today - it's MASTER OF PUPPETS, arguably one of the greatest metal albums of all time. "If you own it, you'll never be able to explain. If you don't, you'll never understand." ... Read More: |

| Metallica may have artistically peaked with Master Of Puppets (or maybe Justice), but this is my favorite album by them. It balances the fiery rawness of the debut with the more complex arrangements found on Puppets to create one of metal's defining masterpieces. Anyone who's ever had even a passing interest in metal has owned this album at some point or another.
It starts out with what is arguably Metallica's hardest hitting song of their career, Fight Fire With Fire (dig those drums, Lars!) and never lets up. The only real "break" ... Read More: |

| Don't get me wrong, this is a great album, my one star review has to do with this particular pressing of the lp. For a half speed master, this sounds absolutely horrible! The signal of the recording is so low, I have to crank my phono preamp so much, that the surface noise of the vinyl is noticeable. This should never happen, ESPECIALLY on a heavy metal record, where the music should be so loud it drowns out any lp noise. Do yourself a favor, spend your money on an older original pressing, this one is horrible. I have a UK pressing of this album from vertigo ... Read More: |

| I usually don't get into the whole "growling" type of metal (death metal? I'm not sure). I can never understand the lyrics, and the growling usually interferes with the music.
5FDP has the growling, but it works really well. You can hear the lyrics clearly, and it definitely doesn't interfere with the actual music. The vocalist has a nice range, switching between growling and singing nicely. The music is a pure "punch" to the face. Oh my god. I haven't been this excited about a metal album in a long time. I'm 41 years old, and I had begun to think metal ... Read More: |

| Okay, couple things I need to get out of the way since this is a review of the vinyl version of this album. First, to enjoy this vinyl record fully, you NEED good equipment to play it on. I'm talking at or near audiophile-level hi-fi equipment, with the turntable being nothing less in build quality than something like a Technics SL-1200.
That being said, it would have been real good if Metallica had re-mixed and re-mastered this album for re-issue on vinyl. The big problem I have with it is that James Hetfield's lyrics are a little too buried in the mix ... Read More: |

| When I found out Metallica was doing an album of cover songs years ago, I was skeptical right away. How can a thrash metal/speed metal band make it believable and create versions that surpass the originals? Well, they couldn't. This is just really really bad. The entire collection.
Two hours of cover songs, and every single one of them inferior to the original versions. The worst part is how many people went into this album probably not even aware of the original versions anyway, and just assumed "Well, it rocks, so Metallica's back!!" while completely ignoring ...
