Of course everyone knows that this is Metallica's first album. This is the birth of speed/thrash metal. Every song is loud, fast, and heavy! This is #4 on my best Metallica album list. It's a classic in every sense. James' voice may be screeching very high, but hey, mostly every band/artist don't sound so hot with their first release, right? I love Cliff's bass solo on "(Anesthesia) Pulling Teeth," one of a kind. "Phantom Lord" is a song I don't hear much often, but it's one of their best. The other songs are also great. When I first heard it, I wondered if it was the same Metallica that I've heard with their later releases. They were young, but they've improved with each album up until the Black Album. It's a good CD for any Metallica or metal fan for that matter.
