Product Description

While not as timeless as Ride the Lightning or Master Puppets, Metallica's debut album--originally released in 1983--is still a fine piece of thrash metal, and as good a marker as any for the debut of the genre. Fusing the rapid-fire attack of bands like Motorhead with a guitar style reminiscent of such British heavy metal bands as Iron Maiden and Judas Priest, Metallica essentially created a new kind of metal. Several of the songs from this 1983 album have since become classics, including "Seek & Destroy", "The Four Horsemen", and "Jump in the Fire". The songwriting isn't as sophisticated as on Metallica's later releases; still, it's a great listen, and essential for any heavy metal fan. --Genevieve Williams

Ok, maybe this and "Ride the Lightning" are both tied for the best Metallica album, but this was the first mainstream album they launched and it was superb! Still is actually. I see some people rated it low on the scale, and while I agree with the Mustaine comment below, I think anybody who wants to play Metallica on a $500 turntable and complain about the sound hasn't been to a Metallica concert, and maybe some of the other folks who didn't like the album should stick to their Duran Duran cassettes - get off the stage!

"Excellent Debut, but no Hetfield, July 24, 2003
Reviewer: An Amazon.com Customer from Minneapolis, Metallica Capital of the World
Tracks like No Remorse are awesome & very similar to songs you will hear on Ride the Lightning, but something to know for you young 'tallica fans - Dave Mustaine of Megadeth, was the original lead vocalist for Metallica. Thus, if you like Megadeth you will like this album, while those longing for the rasp of Hetfield will remain unfulfilled.
Peace out,
Ox

p.s. Mustaine also sings on the title track on 'Ride the Lightning' "
the reviewer above was wrong, while Mustaine wrote 7 of the songs on Kill 'Em All and the title track for Ride The Lightening, he did not appear on any of the tracks on either of those albums. i personally love Kill 'Em All, but i like Killing is my Business... by Megadeth more.

I liked this CD because it involved the bashing of guitars and loud screaming and yelling...
