I know CD singles are obsolete today, but regardless, this one is pretty damn good. ‘Sad But True’ is a kickass song, with its heavy groove and catchy lyrics, it’s one of the more memorable tracks from 1991’s ‘Black Album’. There’s an acoustic/orchestral version of ‘Nothing Else Matters’, an insanely energetic live version of ‘Creeping Death’ (honestly, the energy in this recording is crazy), and finally, a demo version of the title track.

A pointless frisbee for most people, but for collectors, this is everything a single should be. Title track, alternative version, live track, and demo track. Spot on.

"Sad but True" is a single/EP release by US metal act Metallica. It was released in 1991 through Vertigo Records. "Sad but True" features 4 tracks and a playing time of 24:55 minites so there are plenty of quantity for the money.

We of course get the "regular" version of "Sad but True" which is taken directly off the 1991 "Metallica" album. We´re also treated to a demo version of that track, which is a fan thing more than anything. The real treats here are the re-arranged version of "Nothing Else Matters" titled "Nothing Else Matters (Elevator version)". This version has quite a few added strings and a couple of other surprises. It doesn´t beat the orginal version but it´s pretty interesting. The other treat is a live version of "Creeping Death". I´ve heard Metallica more inspired but this live version of the classic track is pretty good.

"Sad but True" is not the most necessary release by Metallica if you are not a hardcore fan, but it´s a pretty good release deserving a 2.5 - 3 star (55%) rating.
