Rating: 
Get ready to be a rock god with 28 classic Metallica tracks, along with 21 songs from other groups that the band deemed “relevant.” The selections here—including tunes from Social Distortion, Lynyrd Skynyrd, the Sword, and Slayer—will have you and your crew saying, “We’re not worthy.”
Rocks: Drumming along to Lars Ulrich’s blistering beats with the help of a second bass pedal and playing your own drum tracks over your favorite songs. Nailing Cliff Burton’s bass solo in “Orion” on expert. Checking out the handwritten lyrics sheets and old photos in the gallery. Watching Lars fuck up “The Shortest Straw” over and over—and over—in one of the behind-the-scenes videos.
Flops: Realizing you’re going to have to quit your job if you hope to ever ace Slayer’s “War En semble” on expert plus. “The Four Horsemen” and “Damage, Inc.” didn’t make the cut.
