Metallica - Kill 'Em All - July 13, 1983

What can you say about an album like Kill 'Em All that hasn't already been said? It's really a groundbreaking piece of music, obviously influenced by the NWOBHM with most of the music being pretty heavily rooted in that style. One great thing about this album is that most of the songs fall into the 4 to 5 minute range, keeping things fresh and interesting, which is something Metallica would start to have trouble with as soon as 3 years later. Unfortunately, the writing is already on the wall for Metallica as the best tunes are the ones that Dave Mustaine helped write.

1. Hit the Lights
3. Motorbreath
4. Jump In the Fire
5. (Anesthesia) Pulling Teeth
6. Whiplash
9. Seek & Destroy

Score: 8/10
