EXTD=Edition Released June 20, 1995\n\nAMG EXPERT REVIEW: The true bir
EXTD=th of thrash. On Kill 'Em All, Metallica fuses the intricate riff
EXTD=ing of New Wave of British Heavy Metal bands like Judas Priest, I
EXTD=ron Maiden, and Diamond Head with the velocity of Motrhead and h
EXTD=ardcore punk. James Hetfield's highly technical rhythm-guitar sty
EXTD=le drives most of the album, setting new standards of power, prec
EXTD=ision, and stamina. But really, the rest of the band is just as d
EXTD=exterous, playing with tightly controlled fury even at the most r
EXTD=idiculously fast tempos. There are already several extended, mult
EXTD=i-sectioned compositions foreshadowing the band's later progressi
EXTD=ve epics, though these are driven by adrenaline, not texture. A f
EXTD=ew tributes to heavy metal itself are a bit dated lyrically; like
EXTD= Diamond Head, the band's biggest influence, Kill 'Em All's most 
EXTD=effective tone is one of supernatural malevolence -- as pure soun
EXTD=d, the record is already straight from the pits of hell. Ex-membe
EXTD=r Dave Mustaine co-wrote four of the original ten tracks, but the
EXTD= material all sounds of a piece. And actually, anyone who worked 
EXTD=backwards through the band's catalog might not fully appreciate t
EXTD=he impact of Kill 'Em All when it first appeared -- unlike later 
EXTD=releases, there simply isn't much musical variation (apart from a
EXTD= lyrical bass solo from Cliff Burton). The band's musical ambitio
EXTD=n also grew rapidly, so today, Kill 'Em All sounds more like the 
EXTD=foundation for greater things to come. But that doesn't take anyt
EXTD=hing away from how fresh it sounded upon first release, and time 
EXTD=hasn't dulled the giddy rush of excitement in these performances.
EXTD= Frightening, awe-inspiring, and absolutely relentless, Kill 'Em 
EXTD=All is pure destructive power, executed with jaw-dropping levels 
EXTD=of scientific precision. An Elektra reissue added the cover songs
EXTD= "Blitzkrieg" and "Am I Evil?" from the European Creeping Death E

EXTD= Huey\n\nAmazon.com Editorial Review\nWhile not as timeless as Ri
EXTD=de the Lightning or Master Puppets, Metallica's debut album--orig
EXTD=inally released in 1983--is still a fine piece of thrash metal, a
EXTD=nd as good a marker as any for the debut of the genre. Fusing the
EXTD= rapid-fire attack of bands like Motorhead with a guitar style re
EXTD=miniscent of such British heavy metal bands as Iron Maiden and Ju
EXTD=das Priest, Metallica essentially created a new kind of metal. Se
EXTD=veral of the songs from this 1983 album have since become classic
EXTD=s, including "Seek & Destroy", "The Four Horsemen", and "Jump in 
EXTD=the Fire". The songwriting isn't as sophisticated as on Metallica
EXTD='s later releases; still, it's a great listen, and essential for 
EXTD=any heavy metal fan. --Genevieve Williams \n\nAmazon.com Customer
EXTD= Review\nHit the Lights!, July 7, 2003 \nReviewer: A music fan fr
EXTD=om Westford  \nMetallica's debut album Kill Em' All is considered
EXTD= one of the landmark albums of the thrash metal genre. This album
EXTD= shreds just as hard today as it did when it as released. The gen
EXTD=re is classified by it high speeds, aggressive drumming, rythm gu
EXTD=itars, monstrous riffs, and screaming leads. It was a music for t
EXTD=he people who wanted an aggressive music free of the spandex, hai
EXTD=rspray, and makeup of 80's glam metal bands. Metallica were a ban
EXTD=d born to destroy the glam bands and play louder, faster, and hea
EXTD=vier than the opposition.\n\nThis album has many great tracks and
EXTD= all members prove their worth to the band. Hit the Lights is a g
EXTD=reat introduction to all that is thrash with its booming drum int
EXTD=ro by Lars Ulrich, high speed riffing, and lyrics about their ins
EXTD=ane live power. Motorbreath is a great song about life on the roa
EXTD=d with crunchy rhythm guitar work by James Hetfield, and solo. Th
EXTD=e deceased Cliff Burton shines on the instrumental Anesthesia wit
EXTD=h his bass solo. Whiplash is a song about Metallica's hardcore fa
EXTD=ns and it has a blistering solo by Kirk Hammett. Any fan of metal
EXTD= should pick up this album. \n\nAmazon.com Customer Review\n3 sta

EXTD=at song is missing from this album? Am I Evil?! Without the compl
EXTD=ete original album i cant give this more than 3 stars.\n\nI suppo
EXTD=se I could go into the whole history of Metallica about now, but 
EXTD=it seems like every other reviewer here already covered that terr
EXTD=itory. I'm going to have to disagree with censorship almost every
EXTD= time it comes up (I did say almost). Kill 'Em All is a case wher
EXTD=e something was censored before the other Bush was President. It 
EXTD=was one of the groundbreaking albums that went into territory tha
EXTD=t other bands were scared to touch at the time. Am I Evil for me 
EXTD=was a key song in my rebellious years of high school and it helpe
EXTD=d me mentally vent my anger towards whatever it was that ailed me
EXTD= at the time, good news is now I'm past it and I turned out ok. A
EXTD=m I Evil didnt make me go and become a serial killer, rob banks, 
EXTD=steal cars, OD on drugs or become an alcoholic. \n\nTwo decades l
EXTD=ater, filth is the mainstay on albums released. Eminem lyrics mak
EXTD=e Am I Evil look like the theme song for the Muppets. In its time
EXTD= it was over the top, that time has passed and things are differe
EXTD=nt now. Though lyrics are worse now than they were back then, doe
EXTD=s anyone really still believe that music entices the youth into t
EXTD=he dark side? My generation (the one that grew up with headbanger
EXTD= 80's music) statistically have become more conservative than our
EXTD= parents, if music had anything to do with this change then censo
EXTD=rship has a lot of egg on its face right now. \n\nBring back the

EXTD= All - Der Kommissar's Definitive Review, March 23, 2003 \nReview
EXTD=er: Der Kommissar from america  \nWith the release of this album,
EXTD= it became clear that this was REAL heavy metal. As fast and heav
EXTD=y and agressive as could possibly be played. Forget glam or plain
EXTD= ol' hard rock, this is the metal that would ultimately shape the
EXTD= spectrum for years to come. Thrash metal wasn't just British any
EXTD=more (though this band drew heavy influence from bands of that na
EXTD=tion.) James Hetfield (vocals/rhythm guitars) and Lars Ulrich (dr
EXTD=ums)retained their roles in the band. However, due to personal co
EXTD=nflicts within the band, the other two members were replaced. Bas
EXTD=sist Ron McGovney, who quit the band due to the uncontrollable al
EXTD=cohol-influenced violence of Dave Mustaine, was replaced by Cliff
EXTD= Burton, who is in all ways superior to his predecessor. Likewise
EXTD=, Dave was kicked out of the band due to his behavior. Guitarist 
EXTD=Kirk Hammett replaced him, and proved to be a perfect match to hi
EXTD=s predecessor's skills. \n\nThe line-up on this album is as follo
EXTD=ws:\n\n--James Hetfield - Vocals/Guitar (appears on all Metallica
EXTD= recordings)\n\n--Lars Ulrich - Drums (appears on all Metallica r
EXTD=ecordings)\n\n--Kirk Hammett - Guitar (appears on all Metallica r
EXTD=ecordings from 1983 on)\n\n--Cliff Burton - Bass (appears on all 
EXTD=Metallica recordings 1983-1986 (he was killed in a bus crash just
EXTD= months after the release of the band's third album.))\n\nNow let
EXTD='s get onto the album itself. This is a raw and unpolished effort
EXTD=. Though it can't stand its ground against the next three albums,
EXTD= it's still better than the music most band's ever release. It op
EXTD=ens with the hard-rocking thrasher, Hit The Lights. An older vers
EXTD=ion of this track appeared on the Metal Massacre compilation, but
EXTD= this one is better by far. Track two is The Four Horsemen. The t
EXTD=rack was originally entitled "Mechanix" and was much faster-paced
EXTD=, with an entirely different theme. This new version is the close
EXTD=st thing to an "epic" you'll find on here. Next up is Motorbreath
EXTD=, which does a good job combining classic hard rock stylings with
EXTD= thrash oriented ones. Jump In The Fire is a more rock and roll o
EXTD=riented song than the others on the album that fails to make any 
EXTD=real achievements but is far from bad. Anasthesia Pulling Teeth i
EXTD=s a three minute long bass solo. And believe it or not, it manage
EXTD=s to be one of the album's best tracks! Whiplash, the next track,
EXTD= is kind of a generic thrasher, but it doesn't take long to reali
EXTD=ze of all the standard thrash-oriented tracks, this one is suprem
EXTD=e. At first, Phantom Lord seems like it's gonna be another raw th
EXTD=rasher, but it's saved by an instrumental sequence. No Remorse is
EXTD= yet another raw thrasher, but there is nothing that saves it fro
EXTD=m being the album's weakest track. Seek And Destroy is one of the
EXTD= album's slower songs, focusing on the quality of the riffs rathe
EXTD=r than the speed. If you haven't heard this song, come out from t
EXTD=hat rock you've been living under and live a little. Metal Militi
EXTD=a, another plain ol' thrash song, finishes the album off.\n\nTher
EXTD=e you have it, a great album by America's then ultimate heavy met
EXTD=al band. With such killer cuts, why only four stars? Redundancy. 
EXTD=The simple styling of raw thrash is repeated one too many times. 
EXTD=However, this is still an excellent album, and no Metallica colle
EXTD=ction is complete without it. Don't let the omission of one star 
EXTD=make you think it's a bad album, because it's not. This is really
EXTD= an album you have to hear for yourself to form an opinion, thoug
EXTD=h I feel it's worth a purchase. \n\nHalf.com Album Credits\nChris

EXTD=aforce.\n\nOccasionally one album can be pinpointed as the turnin
