METALLICA create a THRASH masterpiece with RIDE THE LIGHTNING.....After their glorious debut KILL EN ALL, METALLICA refined their raw punk THRASH into something more meaningful...While KILL EN ALL is a hallucinated young raw THRASH petard, RIDE show a mature side in METALLICA, with introspective lyrics and even a powerful ballad(FADE TO BLACK)....well, in my opinion is a COMPLETE MASTERPIECE with gens like the title track, FIGHT FIRE WITH FIRE, FOR WHOM THE BELL TOLLS and CREEPING DEATH!!!!!! WELL DONE, METALLICA!!!!!!!
