Pros: the songwriting, lyricism, the strong instrumental work from all members
Cons: yeah, right
Bottom Line: Ride the Lightning is the first in a whole series of five star albums from Metallica's early days. A metalhead must.

Pros: A near-perfect blend of power and melody, speed and mood. Their best, by far.
Cons: Set too high of a standard. And launched a million worthless imitators.
Bottom Line: My nomination for "Best Metal Album of the 80's". Redefined the way that headbanger bands did business. More of a power metal than thrash affair.

Pros: The songs are full of energy and pull at your emotional strings.
Cons: There were only eight songs.
Bottom Line: It's just really good to listen to. The band bared all of their rage and dark emotions in this album and the end product is worthy of their skill.
