Metallica - 5.98 Ep - Garage - Garage Days Re-Revisited ((Vinyl))

Metallica: James Hetfield (vocals, guitar); Kirk Hammett (guitar); Jason Newsted (bass); Lars Ulrich (drums, percussion).
Recorded at A & M and Conway Studios, Los Angeles, California. Includes liner notes by James Hetfield.
Following Cliff Burton's death, Metallica took some time off and initiated new bassist Jason Newsted with a raw, unpolished EP of covers originally recorded by Diamond Head, Holocaust, Killing Joke, Budgie, and the Misfits. Most fit the band's style quite well; only "Last Caress" sounds out of place, as the original seemed looser and more dangerous. As a showcase for some strong metal riffs and material by mostly underground bands, the EP works quite well. ~ Steve Huey
