Anger).įight Fire With Fire is the lead track off the album and it begins with a bang.
Despite being recorded in only 3 weeks, the album sounds miles better than some of Metallica’s later efforts (I’m looking at you Justice and St. The guitars, bass, and drums all have a layered depth to the sound that few bands are privileged enough to achieve on their second album. The mix employed by producer Flemming Rasmussen is perfect. Paramount to the album’s success is that Ride the Lightning is one of he best sounding metal albums ever. Written and released in 1984, Ride the Lightning was the template for the trilogy of releases (itself, Master of Puppets, and …and Justice For All) that would go down as some of the genre’s finest.
Our subject last week was punk rock so this time we are going metal, and it really is one of the best metal albums of all time. The album in question is Metallica’s sophomore release Ride the Lightning. For the first time in this series we are stepping out of the 70’s and profiling an album from a different decade, hopefully a trend that I can keep up.
