Don't let that classical-guitar-ish opening to "Fight Fire with Fire" fool you, Ride the Lightning packs a heavy-metal wallop. This early Metallica album is indubitably one of their best. Thematically, it explores death and dying from myriad points of view; nuclear war on "Fight Fire with Fire", electric-chair execution on "Ride the Lightning" and drowning on "Trapped Under Ice." Interestingly enough, the best track on this album is probably "Fade to Black," a slower, more introspective song about suicide. There's also "Creeping Death," which remains a concert favorite. An excellent mix of rapid-fire guitar riffs, rip-roaring solos and singer James Hetfield's trademark growl, this is thrash metal at its finest. Very highly recommended.
