About this deal

James Hetfield made some of the greatest riffs ever for the songs on this album, and while most of them are pure aggressive genius, a few of them are bombastic. The first thing that bothers me with this album is how very few moments of thrash metal are on here, and yeah, at the time this album was made, thrash metal barely existed as a term, let alone had a definition, but a few of the songs barely sound made by the same band that made Kill Em All. It is the last album to feature songwriting contributions from former lead guitarist Dave Mustaine, and the first to feature contributions from his replacement, Kirk Hammett.

Fight Fire With Fire": That acoustic intro belongs on a power metal album, and definitely not the opening to this song. For Whom the Bell Tolls" sounds dangerously close to power metal, and it tests my patience considerably, though the riffs are awesome! Metallica promoted the album on the Bang That Head That Doesn't Bang European tour in late 1984, and on its North American leg in the first half of 1985.

I don’t understand some of the negative feedback Chalkys get - I have never had any problem and would absolutely recommend them. This is what I mean when I say this album is disappointing compared to Kill Em All, which is an album that I love.

International products have separate terms, are sold from abroad and may differ from local products, including fit, age ratings, and language of product, labeling or instructions. you can really hear the growl, the attack of his bass is amazing, also, this pressing is just a really great piece of history, my copy came with the flyer so it's always nice to have something so important for music history, i give this pressing 10/10 on the Historical aspect of it and 9/10 on sound, cause it sounds beautiful, but maybe i would've liked a little bit more bass.

The set starts out with two tunes that would have been right at home on Kill 'em All, but the next two are slower and more involved. Metallica’s debut album, Ride The Lightning (1984), will be pressed on 180g ‘Electric Blue’ limited edition coloured vinyl, featuring the 2016 remastered audio.

Ride the Lightning was even more stunning, exhibiting staggering musical growth and boldly charting new directions that would affect heavy metal for years to come. I say that because it is better than Kill'em All and not the over-bloated extra long songs of Master or Justice. Although 75,000 copies were initially pressed for the American market, the album sold half a million by November 1987. Metallica's debut album, Ride The Lightning (1984), will be pressed on 180g 'Electric Blue' limited edition coloured vinyl, featuring the 2016 remastered audio.

Instead of relying heavily on fast tempos as on its debut 'Kill 'Em All', Metallica broadened its approach by employing acoustic guitars, extended instrumentals, and more complex harmonies. My only minor niggle is that a cd that is in a cardboard sleeve maybe could do with being sent out in sturdier packaging. Related Artists - Beatallica, Echobrain, Goudie, Kirk Hammett, Newsted, Systematic (US), The Moss Brothers, Voivod. Ride the Lightning received a positive response from music critics, who saw it as a more ambitious effort than its predecessor.

Ride the Lightning finds Metallica aggressively expanding their compositional technique and range of expression. Language - Regardless of country of origin all tracks are sung in English, unless otherwise stated in our description. Certain items can take longer to source than the estimated week, particularly during busy trading periods and may take longer to arrive at our warehouse. I notice it most on Fate to Black, there seems to be some strange harmonics during the clean tone/acoustic guitars on the Walmart version.Starting in November, one of the albums will be released each month, starting with "Kill 'Em All", as a limited/remastered LP. And Justice For All and Metallica have sold over 65 million copies worldwide and have shaped an entire generation of metal fans and are still among the most iconic metal albums ever. Unfortunately, the quality control at the Pallas GmbH pressing plant doesn’t seem to be as good as it used to be. For Whom the Bell Tolls": That bell is a dumb addition to this song, the riffs are awesome, and Cliff Burton's bassline is sick. The overall recording costs were paid by Metallica's European label Music for Nations because Megaforce was unable to cover it.
