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

Awesome 4 out of 5 stars
Metallica has become the enemy of the underground metal scene ever since they released the Black Album. This one is really good, and should not be judged on account of that. I do prefer both "Master of Puppets" and "...And Justice For All" to this one, but this is great. "Fight Fire With Fire" is such an underrated song. "Fade To Black" is one of the greatest metal ballads ever written. "Creeping Death" has one of Metallica's most evil riffs. "For Whom the Bell Tolls" is the kind of song that ... Read More
