Editorial Review: Product Description: No Description Available No Track Information Available Media Type: CD Artist: METALLICA Title: RIDE THE LIGHTNING Street Release Date: 07/07/1987 Genre: HEAVY METAL Amazon.com essential recording: Don't let that classical-guitar-ish opening to "Fight Fire with Fire" fool you--Ride the Lightning packs a heavy-metal wallop. While not as ambitious as the subsequent Master of Puppets, this early Metallica album is indubitably one of their best. Thematically, it explores death and dying from myriad points of view: nuclear war ("Fight Fire with Fire"), electric-chair execution (the title track), and drowning ("Trapped Under Ice"). Interestingly, the best track on this album is probably "Fade to Black," a slower, more introspective song about suicide. There's also "Creeping Death," which remains a concert favorite. An excellent mix of rapid-fire guitar riffs, rip-roaring solos, and singer James Hetfield's trademark growl, this is thrash metal at its finest. Very highly recommended. --Genevieve Williams Amazon.com: Don't let that classical-guitar-ish opening to "Fight Fire with Fire" fool you--Ride the Lightning packs a heavy-metal wallop.

Read More: Rating: - Their Most Exciting WorkRide the Lightning starts out slow, throwing the listener off at first, but comes in pounding with power after a few moments. Fight Fire with Fire is their best opener and one of their most intense thrashy songs. Then comes the title song, the best one on the album, loaded with solos and harmonies that sound like the epitome of electric guitar music. That cover art takes on real meaning while listening to this song, the lightning scorching the chair coming to life as you hear those harmonies. You can easily imagine the jolts ripping through you if you were sitting there. As a fan of metal you'd probably have that song stuck in your head as you roast for your crimes. The music doesn't let up there as we have two slower songs that are ...

If you had a great machine , you can hear the diference betwen digital vs analog recordings. This LP has the best sound that I ever heard of this album before. I Have the CD but this LP kicks the sound of the CD. Since I Heard this record , I Discover that the LP has the best "Pure" and "Unadulterated" sound , better that the CDs and the digital files like Mp3. So if you wanna to heard this "Pure" sound you only need to buy this record!!!! Rating:  - RECORD ARRIVED WARPEDNEW METALLICA ALBUM WAS PACKED IN A BOX THAT WAS TOO SMALL, ALBUM WAS PUSHED INTO THE BOX AND ARRIVED WARPED. ALBUM ALSO NEEDED CLEANED TO GET ALL THE POPS AND CLICKS OFF THE RECORD. IT TRACKS OK, BUT MY TONEARM RISES AND FALLS WITH THE WARP AND SOME DISTORTION IS AUDIBLE. A HASSLE TO RETURN I FEAR....... Rating: - Metallica (and perhaps even Metal) at its finestMetallica's second studio album, "Ride the Lightning", is my personal favorite from the band to date (it sounds like Metallica will release "Death Magnetic", their ninth studio album, later this year). Don't let the opening to the first track "Fight Fire With Fire" fool you, this album is fast and furious from the get-go. The three song tandem of "Ride the Lightning", "For Whom the Bell Tolls", and "Fade to Black" may be my favorite 3 song stretch from any Metallica album. I won't discuss all of the tracks, but I'll cover some of my favorites. The title track gives a very strong performance from both the vocals of James Hetfield (I personally like his early work when he has a higher pitch) and Kirk Hammett's shredding ability in the ...
