The 1984 Listening Post - Metallica - Ride the Lightning

Metallica - Ride the Lightning



#196
July 27 1984
Metallica 
Ride the Lightning
4.75 out of 5

Highlights:
For Whom the Bell Tolls
Creeping Terror
The Call of Ktulu

Hahahahaha. Opening with middle earthian acoustic guitars only pummel the listener with electro shock guitars. Love it. 
Dammit, these headphones don’t get any louder! I feel like you should be deaf after you hear this thing. 
This isn’t Kill Em All II. This is a gigantic expansion of ideas and playability. 
The themes and execution are enormous. It’s more than a Metal. I can’t describe it. 
And I’m now deaf.
