Sale!
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.
