This is my 2nd fav metallica album, just before MoP. It's definitly a 5/5. Great review manuscriptreplica

[QUOTE=dromedaryt]The simple reason for this solo being better than any other Metallica solo ever (except possibly the MOP solo) is that it's Hetfield, not Hammet. I don't like Hammet at all, he has no soul and never improvises, and when he does it sounds ****e.

I'd like to point out that the MOP solo is also Het...[/QUOTE]


Well you certainly have a mouth on you, don't you.. haha it seems you have not been to many metallica concerts?

if you think kirk cant improvise for nothing, than maybe you havent heard his random amazing doodles that he does at every concert, or seen all the improv he does.. and to say he has no soul???? thats bs if ive ever heard it :angry: he freaking wrote all of the rest of metallica solos, are those bad too?? cause you know, he has no soul and all

and there is more than 1 solo on MOP song, and hetfield only wrote the one where they are doing the synchronized solo

Anyways, Cliff Rules! lol :thumb:

^ very good points

mmmmmmm, metallica, ahwhahwahgahlhglahwglhawlghlahwglahglhawl

i love all their work from the 80's. i quite despise everything else, except for garage, inc.

i agree with u buddy i think all their 80s work was awsum. u now what most ppl 4got to mention, the fact that the most of the best songs on the cd were written by none other than dave mustaine so maybe y he was kicked out wasnt cuz he was a violent drunk maybe it was cuz james was a little jealous. nuthin against james hetfeild but com on but i do like motorbreath on that cd though.

Metallica is a wonderful pop music band. Their song's are easy, not too long, the kid's love them. They are so cute when they get angry. If anyone is learning how to play guitar or drums, I recommend learning some of their song's. They all seem to be in the same key and can be learned with little effort at all.

I know what you're thinking, but this album was different. Mustaine makes all the difference.

:evil: this cd is so good-they sre better live :thumb:

[QUOTE=rdavidson510]Kill 'Em All is Metallica's first album. This is one of Metallica's least heard albums, and probbally would have never been heard of if Cliff Burton wasn't in it.

Band: Metallica
kirk hammett - lead guitar
james hetfield - rhythm guitar, vocals
lars ulrich - drums
cliff burton - bass
Album: Kill 'Em All

Featured Songs:
The Four Horsemen: Probbally my favorite song on the album, it takes you through 7 minutes of what Metallica is yet to come. Starting off with a fast riff with guitars+bass, it then breaks for a solo guitar riff, simular to the intro of "Master of Puppets". The song is then what Metallica became famour for, the thrashing metal sound with fast paced guitars and bass. Suddenly, the song goes into the interlude with a slower pace, which will later enter into the speedy verses and a guitar solo. Song is oddly simular to the song "Master of Puppets".
Whiplash: A short song compared to what Metallica is yet to come up with in the years, but it gets the job done, with again highlighting on fast paced guitars.
Anesthesia (Pulling Teeth): The song that made Cliff Burton who he was, it's a 4 minute bass solo on the cd, using effects such as distortion and wah. While the song it self is good, the effects do get a little scratchy here and there, and don't sound the greatest. But the solo overall is a great solo, and the fast paced ending with drums is just something you can rock out to.

Track Listing
-Hit the Lights
-Four Horsemen
-Motorbreath
-Jump in Fire
-Anesthesia (Pulling Teeth)
-Whiplash
-Phantom Lord
-No remorse
-Seek and destroy
-Metal Militia

Positive and negative effects of Album
Positive
Good Thrash sound. These songs are you can just rock out to and love, while Jame's vocals are scratchy (I'll get to that later), they just add to the thrash sound
Cliff Burton. Metallica's legend (who died shortly after the release of Master of Puppets) is featured here with his solo, and how he can use the bass wisely. While Jason (the bassist featured on later albums) is good, he's no Cliff Burton. Cliff just knew how to use the bass where and how to make that great sound.
Music is Great

Negative
Vocals - The vocals are scratchy, most likely due to lack of high quality recording material. They DO add to the thrash sound, but an improved vocals would be better.
Bass - Great bass, but the bass seems to be turned a bit too high in recording process. But if your a bass lover, you won't question it.

4/5[/QUOTE]

highlighting on jason newsted...he wasnt as good as cliff burton in the skill department. BUT he contributed to metallica in a different way, instead of playing insane solos he created an intense stage presence, he could get the crowd in a frenzy. He still was a skillful bass player, you cant really hear his work too well in and justice and black album, but as the albums progressed you could hear the bass a bit more.

Solid album.

3.4/5

This album is incredible. The energy is so raw and the riffs and solos are so scorching that I can forget about James' vocals. Songs like Hit the Lights, Whiplash, and Metal Militia just make me want to get up and brake everything in the room. This one gets a 4.5/5. Thrash metal at it's best.

hold it, wasnt dave mustaine was other guitarist in metallica for this cd?

The song that made Cliff Burton who he was

Newsted is way better than Burton. Check his Flotsam and Jetsam stuff out, particuarly Metalshock, for proof.

Possibly, but Burton was better in Metallica.

If you could hear Newsted's bass on AJFA, or just read the tabs, he has some crazy stuff on there. And after that, they simplified their sound, so it's not really a fair call to make.

Well then, Burton is a showoff who was still great, and Newsted was playing under Burton's shadow poorly but is underrated nonetheless. I do realize that the title track to AJFA has some tough bass, but what's cooler: "Pulling Teeth" or "My Friend of Misery?"

I haven't heard/can't remember 'My Friend of Misery' so i'll counteract that with: What's cooler: Metalshock (Flotsam and Jetsam) or Orion? Metalshock owns Orion 1000x in better bass-ness, and Orion is held in the highest regard as to Burton's apparant skill.

Newsted is an underrated bassist. People don't realize that Bob Rock did some of the bass on some albums. I just wonder how good Cliff would be if he were here today. Rob Trujillo is also a sick bassist. He does the early speed-metal justice when he plays. To think he plays all that (especially Battery) with his fingers is awsome. I have a hard time playing 16th notes on my bass with a pick!!

Kill Em All is one of my favorite Metallica CDs. Seek and Destroy is awesome
