While I might roll my eyes to hear someone use a phrase like “die for metal,” I also know why they'd say it. There is such power in this music, such a confident swagger that somehow never becomes overbearing or off-putting. That fine line between egotism and relativity was always one that Metallica walked quite well in their early days. Ride The Lightning is the rare metal album that is as charming as it is powerful there is nostalgia in this record for the days when metal was fun without being a gimmick, when it was hard-hitting without being suffocating. ![]() “Trapped Under Ice” is as much punk as it is thrash no band has ever been able to pack as much desperation into a song since. And “Fade To Black” is so gorgeous, the chord progression so perfect, and the song is even more beautiful because it never loses its bite or devolves into a token ballad.
