When you consider that this LP is credited with broadening the musical scope of thrash metal, in reaility it is far from the truth. So many other band innovated much more.What is meant by broadening the scope of thrash, is in this context that battering ram guitars are occasionally augmented by solo passages of a more "progressive" nature and sound effects that beg the question why? And just when you've tired of these violent oscillations of blitzing, "progression" and claps of thunder or bells-a-ringing, you get an almost tolkienesque acoustic passage that - wonder of wonders - makes you wish they'd get back to all that donner und blitzen.
What I find astonishing about this LP - and quite possibly about Metallica as a band - is how they can tick so many boxes in so thoroughly unsympathetic a manner. Everything about Ride the Lightning screams contrivance to me. These men are like little boys who are not content to prove that they are the thrashingest band around, but need also prove themselves thrash virtuosos, in addition to being the doomiest band around: "My belief that we're all going to hell in a handbasket is bigger than your belief that we're all going to hell in a handbasket, so there!"

I understand "Waltzing Matlida" far better than these two paragraphs.

The face palm? Actually, it's kinda fitting. Thats what I do every day knowing that mindless metalheads blindly worship this band for merits that a hugely exagerrated, and fail to recognise (or dismiss) bands that were so much better.

I'm still trying to get over this completely untrue line in the opening illogical train of disconnected insane musings:
"...there was nothing truly original about any of it..." Holy Sweet Jesus am I in some bizarro world?

I mean I guess but by that logic most classic albums are going to be overrated, which means you're using the wrong logic

Wow, this is easily one of the worst reviews I've ever read. Partially convinced it was a troll.
