Whiplash

The Whiplash EP was a pretty decent EP for Metallica. It consisted of three original songs (Jump In The Fire, Seek And Destroy, and Phantom Lord) and also the special Neckbrace Remix version of Whiplash. I thought that Whiplash was a pretty amazing song to begin with, so when I heard that the Whiplash EP had a remix version of the song, I just had to check it out.

There really isn’t much of a difference in the song. The lyrics are all the same, and so is the instrumental. When you listen to it though, you notice that the sound of the song is different. More reverb was added to the Neckbrace Remix. This created a greater echo effect when James Hetfield was singing. It was actually pretty cool to hear. Sadly other than that, there is nothing different from the original. Even Lars Ulrich has stated that there is no difference.

I think that the Whiplash EP is a pretty cool EP. If you have the Kill ‘Em All album, you’re really not missing out on anything. If you are a serious fan like me though, you definitely won’t regret buying this EP.
