Kill Em' All

This is the first ever album by Metallica. I'd describe it as thrash or speed metal, and raw. Released in 1983 it's easy to see why the quality isn't the best, but defiantly gets the job done. All ten tracks have that thrashy raw tone, with the exception of Cliff Burton's bass solo "(Anesthesia) Pulling Teeth" with some drums towards the end.

The hit single is called, "Jump in the Fire" written by James Hetfield, it's about his home and how it's more of a hell than anything else. But, in my opinion the hit song should have been "Seek and Destroy." You have to listen to this one. This is track number nine, and by far the best song on the album. It's more or less about starting up a fight and killing people off. hetfield's voice is great, awesome riffs, good drumming, and Hammett has a great solo.

Another great track from Kill Em' All is none other than "Whiplash." If you're looking to throw yourself around your room this is the song for you. It's fast, simple, and it just flat out thrashes. I think it's about acting crazy or going insane at a Metallica concert or anywhere for that matter.

This may not be Metallica's best album but it's defiantly falls into the top four. A great way to start. Kill Em' All doesn't slow down, and shows that Metallica is here to stay.
