SpiderFighter: I've been a diehard metalhead most of my life...even sang my share of Megadeth/Metallica in a band. I own everything from Crisis to Veil of Maya and everything in between. I'm also a jazz fan (guys like Phil Woods, Woody Herman, Dave Brubeck...swing and bebop, mostly). Sooo...please be gentle with me when I tell you that I actually OWN this album (Pat Boone - In a Metal Mood) and some of it (SOME:) is pretty good! I really like his version of Panama, for example. (Enter Sandman has a great sax section on it, too)

Of course, videos are a whole 'nother layer of cheese, but there's some solid arranging and musicianship on that disc...if you can just ignore the vocals and get past the fact that it's...Pat Boone...XD
Honestly.. I love it. I just bought it too. Pat Boone totally kicked ass all over this album.

"Crazy Train" is probably the funniest. He has what sounds like a background gospel choir and they sing, "Crazy, Crazy Train! Choo! Choooooo!"
Not bad, but I'd like to point you to Paul Anka - Rock swings album.
