Our Take

Metallica Rarities is a tantalising glimpse into the weird and wonderful world of one of the biggest metal bands of all time. At first glance, you might think, "Another Metallica compilation? Really?" But fear not, dear reader, for this is no ordinary collection of B-sides and rarities. The album kicks off with the previously unheard track "Ride the Lightning (Demo Version)," and let me tell you, it's an absolute belter. The raw energy and intensity of early Metallica is on full display here, with James Hetfield's vocals sounding as powerful as ever. As you delve deeper into Metallica Rarities, you'll uncover gems like the alternate version of "Master of Puppets" featuring Cliff Burton on bass, and a blistering live rendition of "Creeping Death" from their legendary 1989 concert at the Seattle Coliseum. But perhaps the most fascinating track on the album is the 20-minute improvised jam session from a soundcheck in 1992. It's a chaotic, cacophonous rollercoaster ride that showcases the band's unparalleled musicianship and chemistry. Overall, Metallica Rarities is a must-have for any die-hard Metallica fan. It's a testament to the band's creativity and innovation, and a reminder of why they will always be legends in the world of heavy metal. So crank up the volume, and let the riffs wash over you in all their glorious, ear-shredding glory.
