Pros: fast, heavy, raw metal
Cons: still had some growth to achieve
Summary: It would be a few years before they hit megastar status, but one of metal's biggest names emphatically made their first mark in 1983. The future held massive hits, world tours, lineup changes, and style changes. But no Metallica fan should ignore the ... read more

Pros: set album at full volume and Hit the Lights!
Cons: vocals and lyrics needed a bit of work at the time
Summary: Kill ‘Em All ==Whose Sledgehammer is that== A lot of people have ongoing arguments over what is the biggest heavy metal band of all time. This should not be confused with the best heavy metal band of all time. Looking at ... read more

Pros: Good guitar playing, cool songs.
Cons: The sound quality.
Summary: This was one of Metallica’s first CDs ever. It has an old school heavy metal sound to it, but if you like that sound, you should get this album. Metallica has been one of my favorite bands since I started listening to them and I like it for the ... read more

Pros: Metallica's debut album was highly original for its time, and still enjoyable today.
Cons: Sounds slightly rough and ready compared to later releases, and lacks lyrical and thematic depth.
Summary: Metallica's début album Kill 'Em All was widely seen as a ground-breaking release when it first saw the light of day back in 1983. Recorded in two weeks on a shoestring budget, the band showcased an aggressive sound that took inspiration from traditional ... read more

Pros: Very fast, great riffs, and relentless guitar solos.
Cons: Annoying screaming and poor production quality.
Summary: I grew up listening to classic rock like Led Zeppelin and Deep Purple so I never got into the whole "Heavy Metal" scene. In High School I got to hear some of Metallica's songs on The Black Album. These included such classics as "Enter Sandman" and ... read more

Pros: Fast,raw and powerful.

Pros: The Four Horsemen
Cons: No Remorse
Summary: Kill 'Em All is a good CD with some flaws. Obviously, the production is very raw. In my epinion, this takes away from the amazing value of some of these songs. 1.) Hit the Lights (7/10) "No life 'till leather, we're gonna kick some @$$ tonight." ... read more

Pros: The review says it all!
Cons: Production is fuzzy and the band still hadn't yet established a firm ground musically.
Summary: "We have a new album out on Megaforce records. It's called... KILL 'EM ALL!" So here is where it begins: The fierce and innovative thrashers Metallica make a hit on the map of metal with their amazing debut album Kill 'Em All, an album that in the ... read more

Pros: The most energy and youthfullness, blowing away the slower stuff they produce in the future.
Cons: Some scratchy production and a few so-so songs.
Summary: Had Master of Puppets been released before Ride the Lightning then the progression of Metallica albums would go from best to worst from first to last. This album has so much more energy that is only shown again on a few songs on Master and Justice, none ... read more

Pros: Classic Metallica, great guitar playing
Cons: A few average songs, dated somewhat.
Summary: Metallica’s pivotal debut album was released in July 1983, an uneventful month in an unremarkable year. Rock’s big guns weren’t doing anything special: Kiss and Black Sabbath had completely lost the plot and the bands from the New Wave of British Heavy ... read more

Pros: some absolute Metallica classics
Cons: along with some forgettable tracks
Summary: Pity the album that just isn't quite as good as so many say it is... Such is the case for Metallica and their 1983 debut album Kill 'Em All. Seen by many as the first truly influential speed metal record, there are no doubt times over ... read more

Pros: Metallica in their rawest form.
Cons: Often Overlooked

Pros: Some of Metallica's best riffs and solos ever, many classic Metallica songs are on here.
Cons: Not as mature as later Metallica albums, James Hetfield's young-sounding vocals, sub-par production.
Summary: Metallica. Easily one of the most popular metal/rock bands of all-time, and deservedly so. For many people, Metallica are the epitome of metal/rock music, and it's not uncommon for fans of the genre to hail some of their albums as the best of it's genre ... read more

Pros: Half of the album is great
Cons: Half of the album is lousy
Summary: Hi everyone!
Well kill 'em all is the album that really started the trash metal genre. Even if trash metal traces can be found way before (look out Judas Priest's Stained Class for exemple) kill 'em all is really the first pure trash album. ... read more

Pros: Fast-paced but done well, excellent riffage, a great beginning.
Cons: Sounds like it was recorded in a garage... hense "garage band" title.
Summary: Metallica is one of the biggest bands in the world, and this album is where it all started for them. Their roots are metal (NWOBHM most notably), and this album is metal in all its forms. From the breakout track Hit the Lights, to the personal sounding ... read more
