Right, time to dive into yet another classic album from the 80s... This time, Metallica's 'Ride the Lightning'.

Metallica's second album somehow manages to improve on their already amazing first album. This album is just phenomenal and I honestly don't even know what to write.
There is absolutely nothing bad about this at all. The only nitpick I can think of is that it could have had one or two more tracks, but that's it.
This is a fantastic album that I feel like I could recommend to anyone, whether they are a fan of metal or not.
