Reviews Customer Reviews for Kill Em All      Still good, but needs a re-mix.      Rating:      Okay, couple things I need to get out of the way since this is a review of the vinyl version of this album. First, to enjoy this vinyl record fully, you NEED good equipment to play it on. I'm talking at or near audiophile-level hi-fi equipment, with the turntable being nothing less in build quality than something like a Technics SL-1200. That being said, it would have been real good if Metallica had re-mixed and re-mastered this album for re-issue on vinyl. The big problem I have with it is that James Hetfield's lyrics are a little too buried in the mix on most of the songs. One thing I will say too is be prepared to really turn up the volume to hear things really good. This album really pushes the LP vinyl format to its limit, with 27 minutes of music on side one and 26 minutes on side two. Because of the long playing times, the basic playing volume is reduced to make all the music fit. Despite the flaws, because this is a vinyl release, it will be a good collectible album and when played on fine turntables will give lots of listening enjoyment. Just be sure to get Metallica's next three after this one though, 'Ride the Lightning', 'Master of Puppets', and '...And Justice For All' on vinyl too.     Customer Reviews for Kill Em All Cd      Kill 'Em All      Rating:      Metallica-Kill 'Em All **** The cover says it all really... The infamous debut from Metallica, thrash metals most popular band. Kill 'Em All is one of those albums that either do it for you or it doesn't. It is loud, fast, and in your face. James Hetfield can't sing here, though he never really has been able too, and his lyrics leave something to be desired. They would improve over the years but here they are a joke. Cliff Burton kills, but often fumbles over himself. Though his solo on 'Pulling Teeth' is over the top. Lars was far from Lars. Kirk Hammet...well this is his album. A real riff fest, solos from out of this world and Hammet nails them all. Though Dave Mustaine wrote most everything before being kicked out and forming Megadeth. Hammet really makes the album. 'Seek And Destroy' is a bonafide Metallica classic. It is the really only place on the album where all cylinders click. 'The Four Horsemen' is a really metal giant. Truest in all forms. Great riffs, and actually some decently evil lyrics. 'Whiplash' and 'Jump In The Fire' almost satisfy but fall short. 'Pulling Teeth' is genius and the first instrumental. The is was is missed most on later albums from the band is their killer instrumentals. The rest of the album does exactly what the album cover does. It looks and sounds like a group if zit faced metal heads trying to look and sound cool...and you know what...there is nothing wrong with that because amazingly Metallica make it work through out this entire album. Kill 'Em All was a far cry away from their next three albums (Ride The Lightning, Master Of Puppets, ...And Justice For All) all of which became classics. RTL easily being the groups best. But Kill 'Em All is innocent and honest and the album we have been waiting for Metallica to make since 1992.
