The Metallica Blacklist

Some thoughts..

First of all: this album was too long.
If you wanted that many contributing artists, distribute the songs being covered better. Too many uninteresting versions of Nothing Else Matters and Enter Sandman..

That's the record's major fault here. 4 hours is too much. However, some truly amazing covers came out of this.

These are all the best renditions featured on metallica's blacklist project. The rest either played it too safe or didn't leave an impression on me.

-Alessia Cara, The Warning
-Ghost
-Rina Sawayama
-Sam Fender
-Jason Isbell
-St. Vincent
-Biffy Clyro
-PUP
-Off!
-Cage The Elephant
-Volbeat
-Miley Cyrus and friends
-Chris Stapleton
-Kamasi Washington
-Rodrigo Y Gabriela

So yeah. Check those out.

I wouldn't buy the whole project though unless you really need it. Cherry picking the best stuff is honestly fine.
