Rather than rush a new album, they returned to the songs they had grown up on, mostly from the New Wave of British Heavy Metal and punk, and banged them out with deliberately rough production. The cheeky title and handmade feel were a reaction against the overly polished metal of the day.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHelpless and The Small Hours pay tribute to Diamond Head and Holocaust, two bands that shaped Metallica's early sound. The Wait takes on Killing Joke with a heavy, grinding approach, and the closing Misfits medley of Last Caress \/ Green Hell is a short, sharp punk burst to finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis remastered version keeps that raw garage energy intact while bringing out more punch in Newsted's bass and Lars Ulrich's drums. The EP sat out of print for years after its original run, which only added to its legend among collectors.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eShort, loud and fun, it is the sound of a band rediscovering exactly why they started playing together in the first place.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Alliance Entertainment","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57439082971441,"sku":"858978005691","price":11.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0704\/2026\/7313\/files\/1200x1200bb_239836a0-b0c1-40c8-b7c5-0783209ac965.jpg?v=1794152021","url":"https:\/\/vinyl.com\/products\/metallica-the-5-98-ep-garage-days-re-revisited-remastered-cd","provider":"Vinyl.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
