My five word Metallica Review Series: Ride The Lightning

Fast. Loud. Solos Galore. Classic.

All killer no filler! in 1984 Metallica showed the world that Heavy Metal can have depth, meaning, and have lyrics that don't just involve death, killing, and girls etc. Metallica to put it simply are The Beatles of Heavy Metal. They may have not invented Heavy Metal but they certainly go up there as one of the most defining, influential metal bands of all time! All these songs offer something completely new to the Heavy Metal world. No band has shown so much depth, character and innovation in Metal as much as Metallica and it shows in this album. Ok you can argue that Metallca do write in their songs about death and killing or whatever but all these songs are relevant to a subject matter or a historical event or something personal far beyond just trying to be dark and heavier than the previous number one metal band. This is what separated Metallica form any other Metal band out there.

This rocks!!! 11111Oneoneoneshiftone.
Start to finish this is metallica at it's finest.
