| 4.0 excellent | Hatshepsut | June 23rd 06 | What better to have than a classic metal band combined with a symphony orchestra? Someone thought it up, and here it is. This is a breathtaking concert, with Metallica combining their classic guitar riffs and solos with the San Fransisco Symphony. S&M (Symphony&Metallica) never lets up on the beauty, especially on songs like Nothing Else Matters or One. This is a must-have for fans of anything.

| 0.0 | Conor Mackie | August 11th 08 | A truly splendid blend of the San Francisco Symphony Orchestra and Metallica, it turns 20 of their songs into beautiful works of art, beginning with the instrumental Call of Ktulu and ending on Battery, with mind-blowing renditions of The Thing That Should Not Be, Fuel, Master of Puppets, Nothing Else Matters, Until it Sleeps, Nothing Else Matters, Enter Sandman ,One and many more in between.

| 3.5 great | Dan Wilhelm | March 29th 07 | The concert Metallica did was so uniquely done! How often do you hear a metal band perform with an orchestra?
Metallica sure knows how to pick the songs! It also includes two unreleased tracks that are decent to listen to!

| 4.5 superb | asheroth | January 1st 07 | No matter what anybody told me about how awesome and genre-defining Metallica's early work was, there's one thing that always spoilt nearly everything from the Master of Puppets era for me - James Hetfield simply could not sing. What was a mediocre production in the first place was ruined by the grating sound of Hetfield's terrible voice.
This is one reason why this album is so good. Hetfield has improved vastly, and belts out the classics with a powerful voice and unique style. The symphonic parts are usually nothing short of stunning, especially on such seminal tracks as One and Nothing Else Matters. The selection of songs is pretty good, but less songs from Reload would have been appreciated by yours truly, since that was never among my favourite Metallica albums. The two new songs kick ass too.

| 5.0 classic | manicYYZ | December 12th 06 | Only the greatest idea Metallica ever had!!!!!! Pretty much my favourite Metallica album ever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I don't need to explain why. It is an expensive album, but worth every penny nonetheless. I encourage every Metallica lover to buy it if not already done so.

| 0.0 | patad | October 24th 06 | What can i say...this album is excellent. It is one of the most harmonised and well put together concerts i have ever seen.
It is an idea that has never been put into play. A heavy metal band, the best in the world, playing in toe with an orchestra was unheard of, especially with songs as heavy as metallica's.
The orchestra goes superbly with all of the songs, especially with nothing else matters as it is a softer song. It seemed as though the band were just having a great time. I have th dvd and it is my favourite, when im bored thats what i put on.
Who would of thought that the world greatest heavy metal band would go so well with a symphony orchestra. Top job fellas. Well done.
