Death Magnetic is 5th for me, but I still enjoy it a lot. Even more so than the Black Album tbh

this>justice>puppets>DM>kill>the rest that range from pretty good to complete and utter shit.



Honestly though, the top 3 are so fucking close. They could switch places anytime.

Justice would be a strong contender for their best if only the low end wasn't practically non-existent, and as a guy that loves me some bass in metal, I have to knock some points off for that.

even when you add the bass back justice is very very very self insistently chuggy

it doesn't flow naturally

it gets caught up in forced loops of chug

Justice gets easier to listen to if you have good experience with tech thrash imo. Give stuff like Watchtower and Toxik a spin and then come back to it and it'll seem tame in comparison.

wow World tour ain’t hitting the UK? I’d bet they’ll add a couple of dates in London at least.

The ATJA box set has their show from Seattle '89 and it's just excellent.

@Wildcardbitchesss They came to Download earlier this year but other than that, there has been no tour dates which is rather weird.

The year is 1984. I first discover Ride The Lightning in November of the year. It was snowing outside and it was very cold men. I put record on,, It start with medival style music, and then when in calm place? Thunder guitar take control! This is great start for this record men. Lars Ulrich is the drums for this record and at end of song, he is the lightning with bass pedal and snare madness! After this song the name of record is a song and plays well. For Whom The Bell Tolls is up and it deliver best of Metallica riff by Cliff Burton. He play guitar men? hhehehe this is bass! I can believe this. Then best Metallica song is playing,, soft music and guitars. Fade To Black is hitting me hard and it build up with epic solo and chill feeling of depressed. Trapped Under Ice brings energy back to the life here with great open riff by James Hetfield. Escape is starting up and Kirk Hammett is playing on the leads here men. This is song of good structure and deliver a good fade out ending. Here we go men! This moment we wait for! Creeping Death! This song is Metallica well known effort and it is personal favorite of my listens today. This song is about the times of Bible in Christian lore men. I believe this happen and is scary song. The end is no vocals and has great style for close the album up. The Call Of Ktulu is epic! Dave Mustaine has wrote this song when he was playing with the Metallica men,, if you did know. The last riff of song end this record and it is best way to ever end. I have never listen to better ending for any recording and I listen to many metal! This is all I say about Ride The Lightning. Thank for reading and apology for english is not good.
