I am 54 years old and still love this stuff. Man it still rocks. 54 and still headbangin....I love it.

whoever made the decision to stick all tracks together, getting rid of the silence between tracks, is my personal hero and will have my gratitude for all eternity

I'm 53, I was like 13 or 14 when this album came out and it still rocks. Seen them for master of puppets right before the accident in Bethlehem PA. They were so loud they cracked the foundation of the arena. They were the band that got me listening to heavier music.

I'm 48 year's old and this album still gives me goosebumps in 2022 🤟🏻

[AxelSqueeze]

The transition from ride the lightning into whom the bell tolls is excellent

[rev]

The tone on this is album is just disgustingly good. It's like bassy, and cold, and icy, but at the same time almost electric, and shocking, like lightning.

[neilanadams]

Sometimes you forget how great this album is. Masterpiece.

[jscott]

I like how there aren't any pauses between each track it makes the Album feel like one epic song

[saikinracer]

This is that kind of album that you don't skip any track because all of them are just pure gold

[michaelseawell]

From beginning to end, this was one of the best Metallica albums of all time. Who else can play a bass like Cliff, and make it sound like a guitar?

[ironsphere]

At 57 years old this piece still dynamites my brain! What happiness!

[drumskank]

As much shit as I give Metallica nowadays, Kill Em All, Ride The Lightning, Master of Puppets and Justice are probably some of the finest thrash metal albums of all time. Long live old school Metallica!!!

[arrowwaterable]

The most respectful people I have to thank about this album are my parents because they never destroyed my speakers though I played this album at maximum volume. That's a story about a Japanese family in 1984.

Basic training 1986. Fort Jackson South Carolina. My buddy snuck a walkman cassette player in and all we had was this LP. We passed that walkman around day after day and we were soothed by this; one of the greatest metal albums in history. Thank you Metallica!

[yvesturgeon]

After all these years this is THE Metallica's album I always come back to and can listen from beginning to end without getting bored... An absolute masterpiece!!!

[samueljennings]

I forgot how good "For whom the bell tolls" is. One of the best metal songs ever.

Dear god that solo in Fade to Black just hits me in a way I can’t describe, it’s so melancholy it almost brings me to tears
