Kill 'Em All

For: $14.99

While not as timeless as Ride the Lightning or Master Puppets, Metallica's debut album--originally released in 1983--is still a fine piece of thrash metal, and as good a marker as any for the debut of the genre. Fusing the rapid-fire attack of bands like Motorhead with a guitar style reminiscent of such British heavy metal bands as Iron Maiden and Judas Priest, Metallica essentially created a new kind of metal. Several of the songs from this 1983 album have since become classics, including "Seek & Destroy", "The Four Horsemen", and "Jump in the Fire". The songwriting isn't as sophisticated as on Metallica's later releases; still, it's a great listen, and essential for any heavy metal fan. --Genevieve Williams

From: Amazon Posted: Sep 10, 2008 Type: User Review The best thrash album ever?

This album is as heavy and fast as Metallica ever got. One of the few albums you can listen to all the way through. A highly underrated album in my opinion.

From: Amazon Posted: Aug 04, 2008 Type: User Review Sorry, but even St. Anger is a better album.

Seriously, as many people as there are who bash the post-Black Album stuff, all of it is actually better than their first effort. To me, the only tracks that really stand out are (Anesthesia) Pulling Teeth and Seek and Destroy. Everything else...

From: Amazon Posted: Jun 21, 2008 Type: User Review The start of something big

When I first heard of Metallica I saw mixed feelings about them. Having no prior knowledge of the band I more or less bought into the "sell-outs" argument but ultimately dismissed it since I had no interest in the band at all. One day, I decided...

From: Amazon Posted: Jun 04, 2008 Type: User Review Hit The Lights, It's Thrash Metal Time!

People often incline Metallica's true sound as their 80's catalog, nailing the sweet spot particularly around the 3 albums proceeding this ("Ride The Lightning", "Master of Puppets", and "...And Justice For All").

Metallica's sound...
