The fact that the lyrics are dramtically profound, with only a total of thirty six lines being sung, and only six of those are chorus. The guitar work in both the opening and closing of the song is fantastic. I know it's nothing super crazy, but he knew it didn't have to be. Cliff Burton's bass playing is just astounding. If there is one song off this album that was going to be called my favourite it would be this one. The third track on the album opens up with a thundering church bell ringing. I can say that there is a song that I don't care for, but that's personal opinion only, not a reflection of the music. ![]() The thing with the Ride The Lightning album is that I can't say I like one song more than another to any extent. Then the solo kicks in, and it's all just electrifying. "Guilty as charged / But damn it, it ain't right / There's someone else controlling me / Death in the air / Strapped in the electric chair / This can't be happening to me / Who made you God to say?, / I'll take your life from you / Flash before my eyes / Now it's time to die / Burning in my brain / I can feel the pain / Wait for the sign / To flick the switch of death / It's the beginning of the end / Sweat, chilling cold / As I watch death unfold / Consciousness my only friend / My fingers grip with fear / What am I doing here? / Flash before my eyes / Now it's time to die / Burning in my brain / I can feel the pain / Someone help me / Oh please, God help me / They're trying to take it all away / I don't want to die". He busts out that pretty classical stuff instead to create this amazing counter point sound.Īfter that it's on to Ride The Lightning. Listen to Kirk work in the solo, it's not all high speed spreading. All of this is being done with the blinding speed of Thrash Metal, but it sounds too well thought out and produced to be a song of that genre. Then these riffs slam you into a wall like The Hulk in a full out rage. The album opens with this beautiful accoustic piece, that is just amazing. It's changed since, but let me take you back to when it was my fave still. However my first favourite Metallica album was Ride The Lightning. None of these albums have ever been favourites of mine. So, that was quickly followed by the Black Album and. I recieved it for my birthday, which is quickly followed by Christmas and gift cirtificates for music stores. ![]() As I've mentioned in a previous review, Live Shit: Binge And Purge was the first Metallica anything I ever owned.
