Album Rating: 5.0

First 4 tracks plus Call of Ktulu are all #1, Creeping Death/Escape follows and then the (silly/fun) Trapped under Ice.

Album Rating: 5.0

I dunno, the lyrics to Trapped Under Ice are cheesy to a point where it is actually kind of funny. Riffs hard for sure, though.

"Escape and Trapped were like their two worst songs until Load came out though. Controversial, I know but I said it way back when and I stand by it now"

Escape is definitely a contender for their worst song prior to Load.

How do you guys listen to Ride The Lightning and even think that nonsense. It sounds like good ol'

Metallica, I don't get it. Load & Escape shouldn't even be in the same sentence lol blasphemy!

How do you listen to Escape and think it's a good song?

Some people just do

Album Rating: 5.0

Fair enough, It doesn't sound bad let alone bad enough to have it be singled out. Maybe I'm listening to a different record, but it fits the sound of every other song on here. I don't think I'd have it any other way. What I'm saying is if you like the other songs on here it seems foreign to not like Escape or Trapped Under Ice.

Album Rating: 5.0

What is the problem with Escape?

Cheesy/happy chorus? Yes

Not on par with the other songs (except for trapped under ice)? Yes



Bad song? I'd like to know why.

Escape is okay, though yeah one of the worst 80s Metallica songs. Motorbreath though...never liked that one.

Titan I'm thinking the same thing man, I don't get it.

Album Rating: 4.5

both escape and trapped are great songs, it's just they're so inferior to the rest of the songs here, it upsets me really

Album Rating: 5.0

At least you said they're great songs! Ha, I can get on board with that. I've always listened to this as a whole album and everything always seemed to fit in its place. Never wanted to skip one moment. I guess if we're looking at the songs individually I can understand the reasoning. It's hard to compare one song on here to another for me. All n' all it's a perfect record for me. I do have my favorites though!

trapped is a fuckin s tier thrash track

Album Rating: 4.5

yea but atmospherically those two songs don't fit here if you ask me. idk all other song share a similar vibe imo, ehile those two are a bit too uplifting and not so in tune with this album's tone

Album Rating: 4.0

I agree with SpiritCrusher2, though I don't feel it's as jarring

Album Rating: 4.5

oh and the riff quality drops off on those two, and thise is thrash so that's likw really important and shit



edit: actually I take that back, the riffs are fine, it's just the tone that's so different it pierces my ears ahhhh. the only thing that puts mop over this imo: it's consistent af

Album Rating: 5.0

I still don't get why people think MOP is better than this. Oh well, at least most agree that this is at least their second best effort.

trapped is a fuckin s tier thrash track [2]



One of my favs here easily.

Ride The Lightning, Master Of Puppets, And..Justice that's the headspinner. CHOOSE ONE. I haven't been able to for decades lol
