[edit] Reception

Professional reviews:

• Rolling Stone (12/10/99, p.122) - 4 Stars (out of 5) -"Gloriously hard as the album is, you can't miss Metallica's good natured side coming through."

• Entertainment Weekly (12/18/98, p.84) - "We'll have to wait until Metallica's next `proper' album to find out if this trip to the garage recharges their batteries. Still, all things considered, Garage Inc. is an intermittently exhilarating joyride." - Rating: B-

• CMJ (12/21/98, p.29) - "Those who still relate to the adolescent angst of the 'Metallicats' earliest days will find plenty to like on Garage Inc."

These tracks were recorded in 1997–1998 for the album.

2. "It's Electric" (Sean Harris, Brian Tatler) (Diamond Head cover) – 3:34
3. "Sabbra Cadabra" (Ozzy Osbourne, Tony Iommi, Geezer Butler, Bill Ward) (Black Sabbath cover) – 6:20
   • Although only listed as "Sabbra Cadabra", the track is actually a medley of Black Sabbath's "Sabbra Cadabra" and "A National Acrobat".

9. "Whiskey in the Jar" (Traditional) (covering Thin Lizzy's rendition) – 5:05**
   • Contrary to popular belief, "Whiskey in the Jar" is not a Thin Lizzy song; they also covered it. To get a better feeling for the origin, see Whiskey in the Jar. Metallica's cover was based on the debut success by Thin Lizzy in 1973.

    • Recorded in 1997 with several guest artists, including Pepper Keenan of Corrosion of Conformity, Jerry Cantrell and Sean Kinney of Alice in Chains, "Big" Jim Martin of Faith No More, John Popper of Blues Traveller on harmonica, Gary Rossington of Lynyrd Skynyrd on additional guitar and Les Claypool of Primus on banjo as Metallica hosted a radio program out of San Jose, CA (KSJO).
