| I don't like Metalica. Never really have but if i had to choose only one album by them to have i think i would have to go with this one. Has some really great songs on it IMHO. some see this as the down fall of the band but it did bring them to the mainstream.

This is when everything started to go horribly wrong... Good hooks, nice riffs but damn it's like the songs are dumbed down for the average hard rock fan. No edge to it... I have to admit though, I still like it (I'm also an average hard rock fan...  ), it's just not really Metallica to me.

| Good album, good riffs and solos. One thing though this is were all the posuers came out of the woodwork and said ya Metallica man they rock!! and a lot of those people think that htis is their first album. I like this album but I prefer the older material.

| Sure, they are not thrash anymore, but does that mean they are bad? No, but they have clearly switched to hard rock here. The hits have all been played to death, but they are all strong (except 'Sad But True'). The album tracks are still pretty good. 8/10

| The beginning of metallica's bad times in these album the only songs that are true heavy metal are: sad but true, wherever i may roam, through the never and my friend of misery, good album but don't have comparation with the 80's metallica's albums.

| first to all of you who said this album was horrible you need a serious wake up call. This album was the best they ever did. I'm a huge Metallica fan and all of you who haven't hears the rest of their albums need to listen to them before you jugde a great band that has the balls to stay together since before most of you asses were born.

| This album is flawlessly produced (thanks to Bob Rock). All the instruments are played with perfect precision, and as a result, the harmony of the album is about the best as it can be. Crank up the intro to "Holier Than Thou" and prepare your eardrums for an assault rifle attack. I get a little sick of the "Metallica hates Napster so Metallica sucks" type of crap. Enjoy the music for what it is.

| First,i wnna say that james hetfied rocks and he is an amazing guitarist with unparallel technical prowess. That said,this is album is a more commercialized and mainsteam album than their first 4 album. This shows metallica's attempt to break into the public market. Megadeth would later follow this example. (thank god slayer did not!). Although not as outsatnding as the first four album,it did have its moment. First,it was metallica's most commercailly successful album.

| Secondly,nothing else matter are metallica's most popular song and best singles. Enter sandman,a kick ass anthem,displayed some great riifs while the the unforgiven is good too. But this album clearly got too many filler. Apart from the 3 songs i mentioned,all the other are just average stuff. It was diffent with ride the lightning or justice for all. Those album's so called less well-known songs(dyers eve,crepping death) are almost as good as any of their 'hit' songs. To me thsi album hardly

| qualify as a 'pure' thrash metal album(example:slayer's show no mercy,overkill's years of deacy),but in their prime,metallica can deliver thrash metal that are second to none. Not a classic like their previous 4 album but still,it's tons better than reload and st anger and certainly able to kick any nu-metaller's ass anyday. Metallica rocks!

| Even though "Bonded By Blood" was released 2 years after "Kill Em All" Exodus' were the true pioneers of real thrash metal.Metallica just took all the credit and got all the glory.Don't let anyone try to tell you different GLAM FAN .BBB cranks and doesn't really resemble anything in Metallica's discography in my book .They're would be no Kirk Hammett without Exodus---as he used to play in Exodus .

| Isn't motorhead or venom the true creator of thrash. Motorhead started playing thrash(by infusing the fury and aggresion of british metal with the speed of punk) way before metallica or exodus even did(in the mid 80's). Ace of spades,overkill,welcome to hell-those album are the pioneers of thrash,in my opinion.

Their "Welcome To Hell" record sounds like it was recorded on a cheap 20 dollar tape recorder.They couldn't play,they sucked donkey d**ks !! "Baloff Era Exodus"was the real deal .

| If you listen to motorhead,they were actually more of a hardcore punk or punk metal band,like suicidal tendencies and flotsam and jetsam. They had a more punkish sound than most thrash/speed metal band. Just compare them to slayer who had no punk spund and are just a straight ahead speed metal band and you'll see the difference. and the facts that lemmy was friend with the ramones makes the punk love em even more. I think motorhead is half punk and half thrash. That's why they appeal to both

They are still consider thrash by many-why isn't motorhead and venom included in this site. they were two bands that were responsible for the emergence of thrash,death and black metal in the 80's and 90's. If it wasn't for them both,this site wouln't even exist.

To sum it up,welcome to hell,more than any other album,crystalized the elemnts of what later became known a thrash,black,death and virtually every other form of extreme metal. In another word:no welcome to hell=no reign in blood,no master of puppets,no bonded by blood,no jester race,no altars of madness etc

| I think most thrash metal bands are unlike other metal genre(classic metal like priest,power metal,glam metal)because thrash was equally infleunce by punk as they were by nwobhm. They poccess the power and guitar attack of iron maiden and judas priest yet,they also had the speed and tempo as well as lyrics of hardcore punk. Thats why a think thrash is one of the unpurest form of metal like nu-metal which combines metal with hip hop.rap and industrail.

| Great Heavy Metal album, como que speed thrash que carajos conocen de estilos o que???, aca se cierra la historia de Metallica un album con grandes cortes a diferencia de sus antecesores que estaban hechos al Thrash aca exploran el Heavy Clasico aun con algunos indicios de su pasado, sin duda el album negro es grande despues de este vino el declibe de la banda tratando de explorar otros caminos en un mundo que cambio drasticamente con el auge del Grunge que mato poco a poco al gran Heavy Metal.

| Cambio total a los Metallica de antaño. No puedo negar que el album gusta pero a medias. No es un album como para decir que es un clásico, muy aparte de lo que diga la prensa o los millones que compraron este disco. Los que saben quienes fueron los VERDADEROS METALLICA lo saben. Este de hecho que fue el auge y caida, temas comerciales buenos pero que NO son los Metallica.. Sad But True. La 4,8 y 9 mis favoritas, nada mas. 8/10
