From: Amazon Posted: Sep 10, 2008 Type: User Review 4 1/2 stars out of 5

This was a leap and bounds advance forward for Metallica in only 1 year time, but this album is not quite perfect people. With only 8 tracks on an album everything has to be perfect. While songs like "Trapped Under Ice", "Escape", and "Creeping...

From: Amazon Posted: Aug 25, 2008 Type: User Review Their Most Exciting Work

Ride 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...

From: Amazon Posted: Jul 12, 2008 Type: User Review Metallica (and perhaps even Metal) at its finest

Metallica'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...

From: Amazon Posted: Jun 26, 2008 Type: User Review Hard-hitting, a more polished version of Kill 'Em All

Metallica's second studio album, Ride the Lightning is a great thrash metal experience. The album's theme revolves around death; this is apparent from the album art alone, which depicts an electric chair. Some songs are fast, some songs are slow,...

While MoP deserves it's place in history, I am with the many reviewers here who believe that this is the best Metallica album. This is dark, gut-wrenching, aggressive, sledgehammer, *brilliant* stuff from four intelligent and insanely talented...
