wow, what can i say about ride the lightning? Well if you're a (...)little teenie bopper who thinks 50 cent and britney spears is real music, then let me give you some background info on this mighty album.
I'm pretty sure it was releases in '84, back when you had to be bloody good to be a band, nowdays anybody can be a band, watch something like video hits for examples. This was metallicas 2nd album, their 1st being kill 'em all which i havn't got around to buying yet but i got high hopes.Now there's some arguments amoung metalheads about metallica going mainstream upon their realase of the black album, but in my opinion yes their older stuff was far better and peaked around ...And Justice for All and maybe even the black album (although justice for all is still my all time favourite) , but the albums load and reload are still metallica in all their glory (st anger is different for reason im not going to go into in this reveiw).
I've got 7 of metallica's albums, all which are great, and i rate this album probably number 3 (#1 being justice and #2 master of puppets).(...) Ride the Lightning: The title track has some great guitar parts but its not one of my personal favourites on the album, never the less a great song. (...)So there you have it. Ride the lightning. I like everything about this album from the heavy riffs and raw agression in the lyrics to the picture on the front of the elecrtic chair in a lightning storm.
What are you waiting for? Go out and buy it!
