Second disc of "Garage Inc." is worth picking that comp up.... first disc, just a throwaway album of mediocre covers.

I keep going to the music store around here and they have an original vinyl copy of "Metal Up Your A*s"... but it is not for sale.... I keep telling them they should put it in a frame or something, cause I want it, lol.

They had a cassette copy of the "$5.95 EP", but they wouldnt sell that either.

So what is better, Garage Inc or S&M?

Well what are you in the mood for?
An album of covers or an album done with an orchestra?

Garage Inc, don`t waste your time with S&M.

Really? S&M was awesome! The DVD is excellent as well. I think some of James' best vocals are on that record.

go with S&M your ears will thank you!

I enjoy S&M. Some of the thrashier songs don't work as well, but the songs from "Load" for example sound amazing

S&M waaaaaay better. Garage Inc. has some standouts, but is not worth full price. Get it for cheap secondhand, or download it.

I'm the opposite. I think the more complex structures of the older stuff works better with an orchestra, while the later stuff just sounds two dimensional and boring.

1. Metallica
2. Slayer
3. Megadeth
4. Anthrax
