Not better than the originals.
I'm not that familiar with the album actually, but I've heard some of it, and it's good, but it's just Metallica paying tribute to songs they liked, they haven't made them any better as the originals were aweseome, which is why they liked them.

I saw them supporting Thin Lizzy
before I had actually heard them, I knew of them though. They were really good.

I rather like garage inc, it introduced me to loads of bands I didn't know

yeah, got me into diamond head and blue oyster cult
worthy things on their own.

I like the album as a whole, apart from the first and last tracks on disc 1, which I think are a bit shit

I Love Turn the Page

and the mercyful fate medley, where else do you get necrophilia, mummies and armies of the dead in one 12 minute song?
