RMFN Notes:

"27 fantastic covers from the best heavy band of all time. So many of these songs feel like they are Metallica originals, and that's because the band really took their time to make these songs fit the Metallica discography. Start to finish this is an excellent collection that feels like you're in a time machine - the later tracks were recording by Metallica in the late 80s." - Chris
