“In a monumental one-two punch, Metallica set the blueprint for thrash metal and then gave the genre its worldview with its first two records—reissued in deluxe sets that feature alternate mixes, demos, and live shows.”

“**💭 Thoughts:** Began by the iconic opener “Fight Fire with Fire,” this album includes some of the greatest riffs thrash metal has ever seen. This album is truly a classic, and personally my favorite Metallica album, and maybe one of, if not my favorite album across all metal. **🎶 Tracklist Review** 1.) Fight Fire With Fire 🔵 2.) Ride the Lightning 🔵 3.) For Whom the Bell Tolls 🔵🥉 4.) Fade to Black 🔵 5.) Trapped Under Ice 🔵 6.) Escape 🥈 7.) Creeping Death 🥇 8.) The Call of Ktulu 🔵 ──────────────────── **🤔 Track Rating Scale** 🔵 Loved — Thoroughly enjoyed it and will revisit often. 🟢 Liked — Enjoyed it, but it’s not one I’d revisit often. 🟡 Mixed — Enjoyed it somewhat, but some aspects held it back for me; most likely won’t revisit. 🟠 Disliked — Didn’t enjoy it very much; won’t be revisiting. 🔴 Hated — Didn’t enjoy any part of it; no desire to revisit ever again. ⚪️ Interlude, etc. — Not rated as an actual song. ──────────────────── **🏅 Ranking Scale** 10 — Perfect 9 — Exceptional 8 — Great 7 — Good 6 — Decent 5 — Average 4 — Below Average 3 — Poor 2 — Bad 1 — Awful 0 — Unlistenable”
