kill em all
i dont know what everyones problem is with metallica,but THEY DO NOT SUCK, if you stuck bye them once stick by them always thru thick and thin or YOUR NO TRUE METALLICA FAN.you people make me sick. what will you have to say about there new album now you bums

Sorry, but even St. Anger is a better album.
Seriously, as many people as there are who bash the post-Black Album stuff, all of it is actually better than their first effort. To me, the only tracks that really stand out are (Anesthesia) Pulling Teeth and Seek and Destroy. Everything else seems to prove that blazing speed does not equal good music, I don't care how intense it is.

ok. first off make no mistake---this is amazing. dont let the haters fool you. it truly is a masterpiece. second---metallica were late teen/eary 20's when this stuff was written, arranged, and recorded...so dont take it too seriously and compare it to puppets/justice. just buy it and love it. its like a good old hamburger---you dont think about it too much...you just crave it from time to time....and it hits the spot every time. out.

Hit The Lights, It's Thrash Time
People often incline Metallica's true sound as their 80's catalog, nailing the sweet spot particularly around the 3 albums proceeding this ("Ride The Lightning", "Master of Puppets", and "...And Justice For All").

Metallica's sound has always changed from album to album in my opinion, and their 1983 thashing debut "Kill Em' All" is a fine example of what thrash is all about. The songs aren't as brutal lyrically as their next set of albums, but "The Four Horsemen" tinkers with the apocalypse, and is the underlying work for Metallica's trademark long progressive songs. Beating in triplets gives a sound of hooves to the song and contains a melodic opening in the middle and a powerful classic E minor Metallica solo. "Hit the Lights" intro is a loading up fading in sound, welcoming you to the plateau. "Motorbreath" and the powerful "Whiplash" are the definition of thrash, spotting the highlights of being a almighty rebel hitting up gigs nightly. A nice gem is the bass solo Cliff included "(Anesthesia) Pulling Teeth". Fast, punkish, metallic, and over the top solos something to kick start a day of mayhem or to jam to.

The album wont let you down, from the opening beat to "Jump In The Fire", to the overhead sounding "Phantom Lord", Metallica have succeeded in making a great debut album. Forgotten a bit in comparison to their next few albums, but it's Metallica, nothing is truly forgotten by them (Unless you're a St. Anger hater...haha by all means you can forget that).

This release pertains to the imported version. Honestly besides the cover , their is no difference and is primarily a collectors item. In my opinion rather pricey, check out a cheaper version. Overall still a great buy!
