About
Containing all of the thrashing speed and rage of Metallica’s debut, <i>Ride the Lightning</i> pours these traits into intricately structured epics grounded in sociopolitical commentary. It opens with the classic melody of “Fight Fire With Fire,” a terrifying look at nuclear armageddon, while “For Whom the Bell Tolls” is a fiercely chugging examination of war with ominous harmonics. But the album’s boldest moment is “Fade to Black,” a bleak ballad from the perspective of a young man contemplating suicide.
