Liked it. With the orchestral twist, it makes it much more listenable to me, because I often think of live albums as boring. I know, shame on me. I mean, I can listen to live versions and bootlegs of my fave bands, sometimes the songs end up sounding better than the studio versions.
Anyway. I think I enjoyed most of the songs. Has a twist to it. Hetfield's voice sounds a bit different here, but it fits.

Love almost every song on this.
Running Up That Hill was how I first found out about her, after hearing it on the radio and finding out that my parents used to listen to her too.
Now, Waking The Witch is beautiful too with all those people dear to hear waking her up in the song. She's so creative and imaginative!
