Album of the weekend

Metallica-Ride the Lightning

Creeping Death, one the final songs on the album, it a good indicator of what kind of Metallica fan you are. If you like that song, you probably like old school Metallica more. It's faster, it's more crisp and you can easily see it on Kill em' All or Master of Puppets. Ride the Lightning is an underrated Metallica album. Everyone knows it for the (ironically overrated!) song Fade to Black, but few people remember that the other songs on the album like "For Whom the Bell Tolls", "Fight Fire With Fire" and yes, "Creeping Death" are here.

Those of us who love metal usually have strong feelings about Metallica and their albums. You rarely find someone who is agnostic about them. I am no different. To me Metallica is like the girl with the curl in her hair. When they are bad, they are very, very bad. When they are good, they are perfect.
