Perhaps I will spin RtL and this in succession later this evening to make certain which side to take in this ongoing discussion.

I just find that a MAJORITY of this isn't thrash...at all. To be lauded as a "thrash classic" only to have more ballads and slower parts than actual thrash is what really turns me of this album. Title track is pretty uninvigorating (main riff isn't anything special), thing that should not be is awful. I mean it's a great album, but compared to the actual thrash seen on Lightning, this is where they started to fall off the wagon.



I think James has little creativity and the lack of Mustaine riffs and solos really killed this album.



Just my 2 cents.

@MetallicOpeth: I can see that is why many seem to favour RtL as a real thrash classic. I'm really not a purist with the genre, so I really do enjoy the slower/melodic/ballady parts as well. I do strongly agree the riffs can be pretty boring at times (which my own biggest complaint with this), even that the main riff on the title track isn't anything special; it just works perfectly.

But of course we do agree MoP is their best song, right?

Dunno, for me it's pretty much tied with One and Fade To Black...

RtL is their best album, and Creeping Death is their best song.

My favourite Metallica song is either MoP or Creeping Death.

"MoP is even behind the black album for me..."



I wouldn't go that far, but it was definitely a foreshadowing of things to come (Black album). They were headed down that road until getting sidetracked by Cliff's death, which led to Justice where they got their emotions out. But they then fell back into their direction with Black.
