By: Metallica
Release date: 1987
Standing track: For Whom the Bell Tolls

Ride the Lightning, Metallica's second album, truly bought the monsters forward to a larger fan-base. Furthermore, I consider this, alongside Master of Puppets which I like but not *that* much, to be the 'true' Metallica album and every song is a winner!

"49. Creeping Death by Metallica (1984) The best Metallica album and a great track from an album of many great tracks. While all the songs on Ride The Lightning deal with the topic of death, Creeping Death is told from the perspective of the angel of death itself and dealing with the plague of death of the Firstborn from Exodus (the bible chapter as opposed to the bay area thrash metal band, yes that was my vague attempt at satire.). Creeping Death is just fucking epic and fucking metal. Its "

"8th February More distinctive riffs this time around and song writing credits include lead guitarist Kirk Hammett this time around and bassist Cliff Burton has more of an input in the process this time around. A powerful album with some very morbid themes, surrounded by fitting music. Favourite Tracks Ride the Lightning Fade to Black Creeping Death Call of Ktulu"

"Make his fight on the hill in the early day Constant chill deep inside Shouting gun, on they run through the endless grey On they fight, for the right, yes but who's to say? For a hill men would kill why? They do not know Stiffened wounds test their pride Men of five, still alive through the raging glow Gone insane from this pain that they surely know For whom the bell tolls Time marches on For whom the bell tolls Take a look to the sky just before you die It is the last time you will Blackene"

""Flash before my eyes Now it's time to die Burning in my brain I can feel the flames." (First off; I am not a Metallica fan, nor have I bought any of their records outside the first 3 albums I owned on cassettes, my opinion only. So please don't give me anything over not having them in the Top 10.) Metallica already gets enough credit as the biggest Metal band in the 80's, so I really am not going to talk about how ground breaking their work is. If anyone asked me what my favorite album from t"
