I agreed with this when I was really into them [when I was 14] but anymore I can't listen to anything other than kill em all [although master IS their best album to me over all], and really there is a chunk in the middle of RTL that is meh to me..retinal orbita wrote:Metallica: Ride the Lightning over Kill em All

Okay, I'm kidding, I'm not feeling very serious.
I find almost all of Kill 'em All to be rubbish. Four Horsemen and Whiplash are really the only two good songs on it.Mudfuzz wrote:I agreed with this when I was really into them [when I was 14] but anymore I can't listen to anything other than kill em all [although master IS their best album to me over all], and really there is a chunk in the middle of RTL that is meh to me..retinal orbita wrote:Metallica: Ride the Lightning over Kill em All
Well, maybe it's because I'm a bassist, but I'd rather hear some dude who's not Jason playing bass on it, than to hear it with no bass at all. I think it sounds like crap to just hear guitars and drums with no bass. Since it's obvious they still have Jason's master tracks from that album, I wish they had done a big 25th anniversary rerelease with the album remixed with the bass put back in.retinal orbita wrote:Justice RULES. I don't want to hear some guy that's NOT JASON play bass on it, but I have checked out that one track that was remixed for guitar hero and Jason kills when you can actually here him.

Say, what is the song (The Angels Wanna Wear My) Red Shoes about? I was told it was originally left off the USA release because it was too UK-centric and USA folks wouldn't understand it. Which I don't. Still a great song though. Please enlighten us stupid Americans.

As for RTL, Fight Fire with Fire, Trapped Under Ice, Creeping Death and Call of Ktulu are superior to on Kill 'em All
Master is by far their best album, and Justice is pretty fucking good, too. Although ever since that one guy recorded all of the basslines and mixed them in, that's really the only version of the album I listen to anymore

Puppets rules too. The 5.98 EP is just total awesome, except for the Misfits covers which feel just phoned in at the best of times. KemAll has some great tracks but Ride The Lighting is their masterpiece.... although Phantom Lord is just the fuckin' jam man, best shit ever.
I bought Ride the Lighting in 1990 when I was 10 and it's still one of my favourite records ever.... that shit is the fuckin' most awesome shit ever.....
