(Rated this album with 10 out of 10) Reviewed by

"Ride the Lightning" was the first thing I've heard from Metallica before the Black Album. Ever since hearing it, I was amazed and surprised by the way the band used to sound like. But then hearing the other pre-Black Album releases, I'd say this is #2 as one of the best Metallica albums. James' singing and the music seemed to have improved dramatically over "Kill 'Em All." Songs such as "Creeping Death" and "Fade to Black" stand out as one of the best Metallica songs. And the instrumental epic "The Call of Ktulu" should also be a great Metallica track. It's a very beautiful track with its hard rock moments. Every song on this CD kicks ass and it should be in every metal fans' collection.
