I'm not quite sure what it is that Jordan Ruddes did, but I guess it worked.

John Myung plays almost exactly as he did on the album, but he's a bassist, so that's essentially what he's supposed to do. He ups the ante, adding on to a already impressive effort by Kirk Hammett and James Hetfield. Same goes for John Petrucci on the guitar. For those who think that Mike Portnoy (a god) would be out of his element playing the drum parts of Lars Ulrich (not really a god), think again: He restrains himself reasonably well while still tastefully using some of that foot speed in places where Lars originally couldn't. It's not like this cover is otherwise unsalvageable, and in no way are the vocals just another dog turd on the front lawn. James LaBrie is why Orion (the instrumental) is the best song on this cover album, by far.Īnd it's really sad that this is the case. He sounds like a crying baby when he belts out the words, "master of puppets, I'm pulling your streeeeeeeeeighnnnnsssss !" It's just not listenable. He sounds like a southern grandma with a long, nasal drawl as he screams the word "Battery" at the top of his lungs. And I don't know why he would even make that attempt, seeing as how it'd have been in this album's best interest for him to sing in a lower register, rather than one so high it's out of his range. The singer, James LaBrie, is obviously trying really hard to be something that he's not. James Hetfield would kill himself just so he could spin in his grave. But I still had to give it a score under 50% because of one thing: The vocals.
