notes: '"Handful of covers/remixes of all the NES games I could find that start with
  "Metal". It doesn''t get more metal than that, right?

  Note: Metal Max gets more of its share than the other games on this album, but that''s
  because its soundtrack was so catchy, I just had to cover several tracks from it.
  To be honest, I''d never even heard of the game before this project, but the composer,
  Satoshi Kadokura, now rules my world."
