METALLICA / THE UNNAMED FEELING E.P.

This is not exactly an album but it is as long as The Offspings current CD so I decided to review it and include it here, so what do you get for you £4.99, well the you get the song "The Unnamed Feeling" from St. Anger and the Video for the same and 6 live tracks recorded in France in June of last year (2003) and it’s these live tracks that make it worth the purchase. The tracks in question are "The Four Horsemen", "Damage Inc", "Lepper Messiah", "Motormouth", "Ride The Lightning" and "Hit The Lights". All are very good versions and the crowd sound like they are having a real good time and for people who only know of their recent material it’s a good chance to check out the old stuff.

I applaud the fact that this has been put out as an E.P. instead of 2 CD singles and it is clearly a thank you to the fans, I wish other bands/ labels would do this instead of 2 singles.

TOTAL PLAYING TIME = 39 mins + 7 TRACKS + CD ROM
