This album is sick. The orchestra adds a depth and fullness to the songs and I think the only reason people find it a bit dissonant is preconceived notions on what orchestral music is supposed to sound like. The harp in The Outlaw Torn particularly tickled something in my brain. What a delight. Past the orchestra, Metallica’s performance is great. Other than the hits, I never really listened to Metallica. I will be checking out their other stuff after this.
