This album is like a million times better than Kill em all to me, the songwriting is improved upon exponentially. The lyrics now actually have meaning to them. The guitar tone is unique and the mixing is also much better than Kill em all. Call of Ktulu is actually a masterpiece in my opinion also fun facts: the bells you hear on the album are actually the drummer, Lars, hitting an anvil with a hammer in the studio The song Creeping Death is based on a part in the Bible where god sends an angel of death to kill all of the firstborn sons of the Egyptians, The song is told from the perspective of the angel

This album is a masterclass in chord progression. The way the guitar chords paint picture after picture, in every song; it's almost like there's this soothing effect behind the heaviness once you start noticing it more and more. And yes, I am including the bass influence of Cliff in this equation. Absolutely. Such genius.

This is the best Metallica album in my opinion. Master of Puppets has some masterpieces, but this album just does it for me. By the way, the intro for For Whom the Bell Tolls is done by Cliff Burton, an incredible bassist who died far too soon. If you listen to MoP, look out for his bass solos in Orion.

This album is very special to me, it was the first metal record that I listened to on vinyl. Years later during college, Ride The Lightning, Master of Puppets and several Megadeth albums (among others) helped me during American Literature and Spanish History classes. I became curious about the inspirations and connections between the songs and the books. There are a lot of literary themes throughout this album, specifically in For Whom The Bell Tolls (it's a book by Hemingway about the Spanish Civil War) and The Call of Ktulu (based upon the Cthulhu mythos, a sea creature, by american writer H.P. Lovecraft). In essence, the songs inspired me to read and the books made me listen to more albums, and more importantly, learn. Sorry for the long text, lol. Nice analysis, Molly :)

"Fade To Black" has a pretty interesting story behind it; James wrote those lyrics shortly after some of Metallica's equipment had been stolen, and one of those stolen items was a cool amplifier that James had got from his mother before she had died, so he was really depressed for a while at that point.

First discovered Metallica on my 15th birthday. Wanted something hard and the name sounded good. Went home and Ride the Lightning blew my mind. I was on the phone to my friend and said you gotta listen to this

I was exposed to Metallica through this album (and Kill 'em All) in the fall of '85 by a friend of mine my Freshman year of HS. It was the first time I had ever heard anything like it. I couldn't get enough m, it was so fast and driving in tempo. Everything a 14 year old kid needs. 🤣

Oh, you look just like my younger sister. Especially with that hair. And we both listen to Metallica and all kinds of rock and metal music. And, well, we play music ourselves 😁 (though I haven't met her for years already). She's a DJ and I'm a guitar player. Metallica is my major inspiration in terms of guitar playing 🤘

Escape was a radio song that the label wanted. They all hate Escape. But I really like it.
