And you know what? 'Call Of Kthulu' really is no difference... I am talking about the, 'Ride The Lightening' (1984) version as opposed to the, S&M version!
This song was the first song that introduced me to their amazing talent for instrumental versions of their songs... And you know what? They are pretty kick ass... And this one is no different!
Each song I truly feel rather they are instrumental solos or spoken word songs do tend to convey some sort of message or story in their songs... (some times these stories are more interpretive than others,) and I hate to say it, but, 'Call Of Ktulu' is one of those types of songs!

Now I am not going to say what this song means to me, because I don't want to spoil this song for you, but I will say that these instrumental solo are very awesomely well put together, and conveys a very powerful and awesome message to it!
For the negative side... The truth is, is in my opinion in that rare moment when entertainment of any variety is better in it's remade form (rather that be in movies, music, or I suppose even books,) to me that looses some of the quality of what made the initial thing so great... And the truth is, is that the S&M version of this song is better...
I suspect that the reason by this is the fact that besides the fact that in S&M you still had the truly awesome talents of the group, but Metallica also had the San Francisco Symphony Orchestra backing them up!
In the end though, this song should not entirely be dismissed, it is a good song, and was well made, and if you get a chance to listen to it, then you might find that you like it as well!
