CANNOT KILL THE BATTERY

And The Thing That Should Not Be is actually fuckin brilliant

considering Dave Mustaine's contributions to the first two releases

I think it is fair to say Kirk Hammett ruined Metallica, not Bob Rock

I disagree, though I do like ...And Justice For All a bit more than this. it's a controversial opinion but I do think they only ever really had one truly great album in Ride The Lightning. Kill 'Em All captured a similar energy but was never as well refined.

The increasing focus on melodicism rather than just being balls out thrash revealed a lot of weaknesses. I'm pretty sure this had to do with Hammett's influence over the band, later on what I consider the worst elements of albums like RTL and MOP seemed to be what they focused on more and more. This feels like an awkward transitional album, in a way. Not that they actually ever made it anywhere comfortable afterwards, if you ask me.

pretty much

You would be mistaken since Metallica's third and fourth releases are the best my good sir.

Keeping at a 5 only due to nostalgic reason. This band was my eighth grade.

don't fuck with sonictheplumber

jams fists up sonics butthole

Battery is probably the best song on here, they should have just released that as the album

Album Rating: 3.5

Ride the Lightning is better than this Also Dave Mustaine is so much better than Kirk Hammet.
