Ride The

Product Information

Released in 1984, Metallica's second album, Ride the Lightning, is considered by some to be their best. And Justice For All and Metallica have sold over 65 million copies worldwide and have shaped an entire generation of metal fans and are still among the most iconic metal albums ever.

The overall recording costs were paid by Metallica's European label Music for Nations because Megaforce was unable to cover it. Ride the Lightning is an ambitious metal album that tries to do a little too much, and I honestly think Metallica lost their way with this one.The 103 third parties who use cookies on this service do so for their purposes of displaying and measuring personalized ads, generating audience insights, and developing and improving products. UMR/Mercury are pressing 11 of Metallica’s studio album back catalogue on custom coloured vinyl for the first time for World ex North America; following the 2021 Walmart exclusive coloured vinyl series in the US. Starting in November, one of the albums will be released each month, starting with "Kill 'Em All", as a limited/remastered LP.

The first thing that bothers me with this album is how very few moments of thrash metal are on here, and yeah, at the time this album was made, thrash metal barely existed as a term, let alone had a definition, but a few of the songs barely sound made by the same band that made Kill Em All. Ride the Lightning was even more stunning, exhibiting staggering musical growth and boldly charting new directions that would affect heavy metal for years to come. I really do not understand this, but apparently I am the only Metallica fan that thinks Hetfield's singing sounds absolutely worthless on this song, but I have tried and tried to get used to him, and I cannot. The artwork, based on a concept by the band, depicts an electric chair being struck by lightning flowing from the band logo. Unfortunately, the quality control at the Pallas GmbH pressing plant doesn’t seem to be as good as it used to be.Instead of relying heavily on fast tempos as on its debut Kill 'Em All, Metallica broadened its approach by employing acoustic guitars, extended instrumentals, and more complex harmonies. Make no mistake, this is a great, highly ambitious album that certainly has its moments, but as the follow up to Kill Em All, it is rather underwhelming.

E, para fechar com chave de ouro, o disco ainda tem "Creeping Death", talvez a música mais esperada em todos os shows do Metallica. Certain items can take longer to source than the estimated week, particularly during busy trading periods and may take longer to arrive at our warehouse. Ride the Lightning finds Metallica aggressively expanding their compositional technique and range of expression. Although rooted in the thrash metal genre, the album showcased the band's musical growth and lyrical sophistication.Vale lembrar ao fãs radicais que criticam a banda por "fazer som comercial" após "Black Album", que aqui no segundo disco já havia balada e que até hoje emociona nos shows da banda: "Fade to Black". FWIW, I purchased it new and while it came with the merchandise flyer it also came in a clear plastic inner, not the printed one. This is what I mean when I say this album is disappointing compared to Kill Em All, which is an album that I love.
