[@mrtaco9340]

Alex! Something to keep in mind when reviewing this album: Ride the lightning ('84), Master of puppets ('86), and ...And justice for all ('88) form a trilogy of sorts. On each album the first song starts with a calm but misleading instrumental before blasting away 100mph (Fight fire..., Battery, Blackend). After this each album has a lengthy, kick-ass title track (6min, 8min, 10min). The fourth song on each album again starts slowly, kind of sounds like a ballad at first, but then speeds up towards an impossible guitar solo at the end (Fade to black, Sanitarium, One). On an LP (vinyl) format these songs are the last ones on the A-side of the album (Justice might have been a double LP, so in that case last track on the B-side). Also, each album contains an instrumental (Call of Ktulu, Orion, To live is to die) that's among the longest on the album (9min, 8min, 10min). Some additional things to point out. Master of puppets and Justice both finish with some of the fastest songs in the bands catalog (Damage Inc., Dyers Eve), while Ride the lightning ends with the instrumental. Ride the lightning and Master of puppets have tracks that are clearly about the Cthulhu mythos (Call of Ktulu, The thing that should not be), whereas Justice has not. Also, the first two albums have a perfect number of songs (8), but Justice has an unpleasant number of 9. All amazing tracks though! Anyway, cheers! Keep up the good work! ps. Something for us metal historians to keep in mind: Iron Maiden made a "trilogy" of their own with Powerslave ('84), Somewhere in time ('86) and Seventh son of a seventh son ('88). The last album being the most progressive of the bunch, same with Metallica. I think it's safe to say that both bands were in their creative peak at this time.

The BEST DAMN METALLICA ALBUM!

[@Giorgos-69]

This has been pumping my adrenaline for years. Ιt's in the top 5 of my abolutely headbanging tracks.

[@stephenbagnall6712]

My favourite metallica album. Has the most melodic and most feeling songs without being tooooo technical but still epic. Riffs are incredible and kirks solos are spot on. Every song is epic and ktulu is by far my favourite instrumental

[@aronkaspar6369]

I was 11 or 12 when I first heard this album. My brother picked me up at school and put this cassette in and said tell me what you think. I was blown away when this song kicked into high gear

[@nishantjoshi4392]

You won't believe how much joyful I am seeing you make a video on this. Thank you. Lots of love❤️ Take care.

[@RafaelMartins-wq4bt]

ALEX, you're starting to have the need of listening a full album. A concept that it seems has been lost, somehow. Keep it going. What a ride this is going to be...

[@GreatOldOne9866]

Alex every time a sick solo comes on: 🥴🥴🥴 🤯🤯🤯 💨

[@Kriegter]

the main riff sounds like a thunderstorm literally

[@sordi92]

Seeing this song played live was absolutely an experience I will never forget!!!

[@rodolforodriguez6230]

Wow LARS....in the 80s...was a real beast behind the drums....really good .......

[@1cedcoffee]

i still get a mini heart attack during your intro, i just can't get used to it and i always think my pc is crashing lmao

[@yoiamhere4737]

Lol IKR. I liked the old one even being a metalhead, makes it more chill haha

[@Iris-gy2mi]

I'm glad I'm not the only one 🤣

[@razeezar]

@@yoiamhere4737 I don't even notice the newer intro now ... Kinda the same as walking past the same warning sign every day, you forget it's there!

[@valoryt1297]

alex hefner, and guys reading this comment, you must listen to the 1987 Milan version of fight fire with fire. it is mind blowing!

[@DillyDilly13]

My god does this man need to react to some of their live performances! Listening doesn’t do it justice. I saw this song in person and HOLY FUCKIN HELL!

[@alanfisher4531]

At 6:54 you can literally see his face melt! haha love it!

[@justice7ca245]

YES! I am having a DOPE ASS DAY because of this reaction and you listened to all of us.

[@maksphoto78]

I love it how throught this song, you can never ben sure if they're on beat or off beat.

[@fronthorse]

One of my favorite Metallica songs. Brutal and raw.

[@alexsaucedo8032]

[@Grymreefer]

this album was my introduction to metallica , in 1984 this was off the chain

[@shawnreaper3330]

the harmonies on this album are insane.

[@thehunter7422]

One of my favourite tracks . Always was a fan of the heavier stuff they put out. Ride the Lightning , Master of puppets, disposable hero's , Fight Fire with Fire , Battery , Dyers Eve, Shortest Straw , One, Blackened , you name it lol can't get enough of these tracks . There so epic

[@THEREALBONGMAN]

This was the 1st song I ever heard from Metallica in 1984 when I bought this album. The intro tripped me up for a second. I was thinking "WTF did I just buy??" Then the insane chainsaw riff type guitar kicked in and I was a fan :) #FightFirewithFire

[@noahtaylor4971]

Would be really cool if u make a final rating of all the Metallica albums you listened to!!

[@marierodrigue1445]

This is the first metallica song I heard. Same damn reaction. TRUE LOVE

[@diegocasillas404]

Hell yeah, Alex is back with Metallica. Let's get it!

[@decent6175]

I can't wait until he reacts to the next song. IMO, best song on the album. Perfect intensity, awesome lyrics, and a kickass Kirk Hammett solo 🤘

[@andrewsmokler7173]

No album will top the first 4 tracks.(of this masterpiece) Ps. The last song for high pitch James:-)

[@metaldragoon8556]

Not when Any Ne Obliviscaris album exist and Dream theater metropolis pt 2

[@78gravedigger]

I was listening to this in early 90s. I got that ear ecstasy before it became nostalgic. :)

[@BradDelsonFender]

Next Album: Cowboys From Hell - Pantera
