Recorded at Sweet Silence Studios, Copenhagen, Denmark in Spring 1984. Metallica: James Hetfield (vocals, guitar) Kirk Hammett (guitar) Cliff Burton (bass) Lars Ulrich (drums). The most ambitious song is a dense instrumental, "The Call Of Ktulu," that starts with a single arpeggiated guitar and slowly adds layer upon layer, building in intensity until it all comes crashing down nine minutes later. It's also Hetfield's first attempt at singing in tune. "Fade To Black" is a ballad (!) that builds to an instrumental coda featuring the guitar melodies that the band would later base their sound around. "Ride The Lightning" is a slow (by Metallica's standards) dirge about the futility of war. This album looks and sounds amazing The only gripe I have is its very hard to read the label to know which side is 1 or 2 lol But the album itself is. Ride the Lightning was listed at 3 on a list compiled by of the Top 100 Metal Albums of All Time and 5 by IGN Music on the Top 25 Metal Albums. Remastered edition of Ride the Lightning on CD 11. The set starts out with two tunes that would have been right at home on KILL 'EM ALL, but the next two are slower and more involved. The riffs and arrangements are more intricate, the lyrics are more intelligent and biting and James Hetfield's growl is meaner. Metallica turned the metal world on its ear with their debut album, KILL 'EM ALL and then blew its mind with the follow-up, RIDE THE LIGHTNING. Instead of relying strictly on fast tempos as on Kill 'Em All, Metallica broadened its approach by employing acoustic guitars, extended instrumentals, and more complex harmonies. His bass and overall influence on this albums is amazing the bass on songs like For Whom The Bell Tolls and The Call of Ktulu in my opinion make the songs. But of course Ive saved the best for last Cliff Burton.

This was partly because bassist Cliff Burton introduced the basics of music theory to the rest of the band and had more input in the songwriting.
