Product Description
From Amazon.co.uk
While not as timeless as Ride the Lightning or Master of 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 Motörhead 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 song-writing 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

MUSTAINE DOES NOT SING OR PLAY ON THIS ALBUM,
By Jesse Limerick (KG, VA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Kill 'em All (Audio CD)
"Excellent Debut, but no Hetfield, July 24, 2003Reviewer: 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.

The kings of heavy metal have arrived. The beginning of a legend.,
By
This review is from: Kill 'em All (Audio CD)
There can be no doubt that Metallica has reached legendary status and this album is the album that started it all. This album is speed metal at its best. The Four Horsemen has to be considered a classic. The album is simply amazing. You can hear the influence of Dave Mustaine on this albuim and Metallica was wrong when they told him to leave the group. Before Metallica was mainstream, this album was rockin'. No Remorse, Whiplash and Seek & Destroy are some of the best songs on the album. Kill Em' All marked the beginning of a legend. Metallica are the kings of metal!!
