Kill 'Em All

This is one of my all time favourite albums and in my opinion one of metallicas best. The bass solo on pulling teeth sounds incredible.

Excellent

Believe it or not this album makes sound however I did not feel the urge to in fact “kill ‘em all” :( Instant 1 star from this chum!!!

I won't be writing a review here but if you're into speed/thrash metal this one is an absolute must! Amazing songwriting and sound, an everlasting classic.

If you’re reading this and don’t yet have this album, buy it.

I will never hesitate to admit that I have never been a big fan of Metallica's legendary début album Kill 'Em All. But even I have to admit that the bands new remaster re-issue is a vast improvement on the original record.Before we dive into the changes in the albums sound, it is worth noting that my feelings on the music itself has not changed. I still feel that the song writing is quite juvenile and quite silly. I also don't like the lack of variety in style, the band seem to dip from the same well a little too often and the vocals are atrocious.I still have the blasphemous thought that (Anaesthesia) Pulling Teeth should have been left off of the record altogether. The song is nice musically but it really halts the album in its tracks in terms of momentum and it still sounds a little too rough around the edges, even after being cleaned up for this re-issue.Now with this re-issue everything has been cleaned up and has been given a swift kick in the backside. The guitars haven't been given too much of a change. They have a nice crystal clear sound whilst maintaining that delightfully raw sound that early thrash metal fans love and they sound quite excellent, especially during the blistering fast guitar solos.The biggest change is in the over all tone and forwardness of the bass and drums. They have both been brought more into the fore front with this thick sound that really brings a new heaviness to these songs of old. Tracks like Whiplash, Hit The Lights and Metal Militia have been given an extra lease of life and it really benefits the album.Even I have to admit that listening to this album made me enjoy Kill 'Em All more then I have in the last fifteen years of my life. Long gone is the thin painful recordings and in comes a thick powerful sounding beast that should please metal fans new and old.Metallica fans and thrash metal fans who like the early material will do good picking this disc up. It sounds vastly superior to the original recording. It still has problems with the amateurish song writing etc, but it has completely eliminated the poor production complaint.Published by Steven Lornie of Demonszone

this album is thrashy and groovy in some parts and it's just a fun album. this is the album that got me into metal so it will always hold a special place in my heart!

I have been a Metallica fan for a long long time, and I noticed that the one album I didn't own was Kill Em All, I didn't think much of this until I saw a review of one of the songs online, so I purchased it, and WOW, I had forgotten how good this album was, great riffs, great solos, great song writing. This album was way ahead of it's time, and I would recommend it to anybody who loves heavy metal, a true classic.
