Ride The

Product Information

Metallica’s debut album, Ride The Lightning (1984), will be pressed on 180g ‘Electric Blue’ limited edition coloured vinyl lp, featuring the 2016 remastered audio. The rest of this song is pure thrash metal, and pretty much the only pure thrash metal song on this album. The sleeve and cover are both sort of wrecked, and the record is cracked through the first two songs, but it still plays pretty nice!

I finally got a copy of this legendary pressing, i had the deluxe boxset and hated the sound, but on this one, everything is well defined, very bright too, maybe lacks a little bit of bass but my god cliff's parts here. Instead of relying heavily on fast tempos as on its debut 'Kill 'Em All', Metallica broadened its approach by employing acoustic guitars, extended instrumentals, and more complex harmonies. This reissued record from Metallica should need no introduction if you are in any way interested in thrash metal. The artwork, based on a concept by the band, depicts an electric chair being struck by lightning flowing from the band logo. I notice it most on Fate to Black, there seems to be some strange harmonics during the clean tone/acoustic guitars on the Walmart version.

Creeping Death": The first use of downpicking by Hetfield that doesn't fall flat after a while, though Hetfield's singing is still very annoying.

Ride the Lightning is often hailed by fans as a classic of the thrash metal genre, and a vital bridge between the band's albums Kill 'Em All and Master of Puppets, pushing the thrash metal of the debut into progressive territory more fully-realized on Master of Puppets and . It's my recollection that most, if not all, of the Megaforce releases I bought around then had clear inners.

Trapped Under Ice": that riff is cool, and it is nice to have a solo at the beginning rather than the end, and an excellent thrash solo at that, and as good as this song is, the intensity starts to fade a great deal halfway through the song, like, a lot. I really do not understand this, but apparently I am the only Metallica fan that thinks Hetfield's singing sounds absolutely worthless on this song, but I have tried and tried to get used to him, and I cannot. The band performed at major music festivals such as Monsters of Rock and Day on the Green later that year.
