Ride the Lightning was the start of the golden era of Metallica. It is a great album of musical aggression. All the tracks on there are worth listening to, especially the classics For Whom The Bell Tolls and Fade To Black, which is the best song on the album IMO. This album was a huge step forward for Metallica and really kicked them to the top of the metal heap.
