Metallica Album: “Unforgiven 2, Pt. 2”

INFO: The American release of the Unforgiven 2 single.

Track 01: The Unforgiven 2 (6:36) (From the album ReLOAD)

Track 02: The Thing That Should Not Be (Live) (7:09) (Original version available on the album MASTER OF PUPPETS)

REVIEW: The Unforgiven 2 ballad will sound a bit strange if you are a fan of the original Unforgiven song, however it won't take long before you'll be singing the lyrics in a duet with James. This time a man in looking on his past and realizing that he was stubborn and did make a big mistake, asking for his girlfriend's love, knowing he doesn't deserve it, and that she 'is Unforgiven Too.' More like a reprise of the original Unforgiven, yet unique in it's own way, different than most 2-part songs released before.

First things first: the print on the actual CD identifies The Thing That Should Not Be (Live) as having a play time of 4:40. However, the actual play time is 7:09. With that said and done, the song is a must-have for anybody who enjoys a great heavy and mysterious song bordering on the edge of insanity leading up to a dramatic climax and a sudden ending. Not your typical low-quality live track.

METALLICA'S Unfogiven 2 [CD-SINGLE] is worth the money! Both track's (Unfogiven 2, and The Thing That Should Not Be(Live)* are awsome in there own METALLICA kind of way! It's a good single to add to any METALLICA collection! No, Unforgiven 2 is not there best song, but with The Thing That Should Not Be(Live)*, it makes one great CD-SINGLE! That all METALLICA fan's can apperciate!

Awesome Live cuts from the 1997 Europe Tour a must have!!! for any true metallica fan, both new and old songs. 1. Unforgiven II (album) not bad 2.The Thing that Should Not Be (live) awesome 3. Memory Remains (live) good-pretty good 4. King Nothing (live) unbelievable

This is a beautiful song that amongst all childeren can relate to james also displays the melody he has in his voice that he does in nothing else matters this song though is about how james could never forgive his parents for the stuff they did this song is a master piece and also featured on the best album of all time The Black Album

Okay, people, let's get one thing straight right now: Metallica is nowhere near country. It seems to be the new mantra for those wishing to bash the "new" Metallica, but only makes them look even more ignorant. A song is not made country by tossing in an acoustic guitar or slowing the tempo, contrary to the beliefs of many fools. As opposed to the bozos that keep harping on this supposed "country"ness of Metallica, I LISTEN to country as well as Metallica, and listened for years before I knew who Metallica was. I don't pretend to be an expert on Metallica, but I do know what's country, and trust me, they ain't it.

"Unforgiven II," continuing the story of "The Unforgiven" from the (in)famous "black album," is a terrific song. (I'll leave the arguing over whether it's "proper" Metallica to people who have more time on their hands than I do.) The storyline is Metallica-dark and the music complements it well. It's worth having if only to find out how "The Unforgiven" ends, but stands just as well on its own.

Country, though? Please. Either learn more about country music or find another epithet to hurl at the band.
