Editorial Reviews

Metallica's Sophomore album Ride The Lightnight resissued on 1-CDandnbsp;Incredibly ambitious for a one-year-later sophomore effort, Ride the Lightning finds Metallica aggressively expanding their compositional technique and range of expression. Every track tries something new, and every musical experiment succeeds mightily. The lyrics push into new territory as well -- more personal, more socially conscious, less metal posturing. - all music.

5.0 out of 5 stars The best Metallica album
Reviewed in the United States on March 3, 2024

If you're reading this, you're probably fairly new to Metallica, as a long time fan likely owns several additions of this album. So I hope this helps. This is the best album Metallica has ever made in my opinion, (with the Black Album being a close second). This is stellar thrash metal, with intelligent and sharp songwriting from beginning to end. You can't go wrong.

Some great tunes from early Metallica. If you like the hard edge of early Metallica, this should be a must purchase. The album represents the era of speed metal, with glimpses of the talent displayed in later albums.

4.0 out of 5 stars 2016 Remaster Review: Exact Same Mix As Original, But Overall Sound Is Better
Reviewed in the United States on April 19, 2016
Verified Purchase
As the headline says, the mix is the exact same mix as the original (sorry, Cliff's bass is at the same volume), but everything about the overall sound is better than the original.

- Brighter Highs

- Deeper, more defined lows

- Balanced mids

- Overall cleaner, tighter, better sound

The reason I gave this 4 stars is because Cliff's bass needed to be higher in the mix, as always. Cliff's bass playing is too valuable of a thing not to raise it a notch or so in the mix. They should've lowered the guitars a bit in order to raise the bass some, since the guitars already benefit from a higher pitched, more definable sound whereas the bass needs extra lovin' in the mix to make individual notes and fills more audible.

With that being said, you can hear more definition in Cliff's bass sound and you can also hear (and feel) Lars's bass drum better, which results in a more satisfying low-end sound than the original.

Also, some people said that they heard clipping sounds on this new version. I cranked it on my sound system and heard nothing of the sort.

This remastered version is best listened to and appreciated through a good quality sound system (at as high of a volume as your family or neighbors will allow) rather than on an i-pod through headphones. When listening to it through headphones, you won't be able to hear all the little improvements to the overall sound that makes this remastered version worthwhile. It'll just sound like a slightly better version than the original.

All in all, I recommend replacing your old version with this version.

Edición sin complicaciones, nada de vinilo de colores ni ese tipo de cosas que a veces dan problemas de ruido por muy bonitos que sean. Vinilo negro y un inserto con las letras y foto del grupo, un disco de los de toda la vida remasterizado con una calidad de sonido muy buena, Entre eso y lo bueno que es el álbum no se puede pedir más, aunque si costase unos euros menos se agradecería...
