I found these guys on a whim and I am happy that I did. These guys are extremely talented and make damn good music. I started with this album since it is their shortest album, but it might already be one of their best (unless everything else is as excellent as this).

I've been replaying this album from time to time and it is for ... read more

While I don't think this album holds up as well when compared to Ride the Lightning or Master of Puppets (especially in terms of production), I still find this album to be very enjoyable from start to finish. One is a fucking classic and for good reason, and Dyers Eve has got to be a top 3 Metallica song of all time (probably #2 for me behind Fight Fire With Fire). Seriously, that song fucking rocks shit up and it at least deserves to bein the conversation for the best song they've ... read more
