Customer Ratings & Reviews

Bought this in store for $5, and it sounds great. I noticed that it shows produced by "blackened" instead of "electra" records, but I've played it on both car stereo and the home stereo and it sounds great.

Ride the Lightning is an all time classic album, one of Metallica's best in my opinion. This remastered version ups the quality of the sound. The bass is more present and makes the album that much better.

I have always loved this album. Metallica did a recent remaster job on this album and it sounds much better. You can hear the bass guitar more and the drums just pop out more! Metallica kept the artwork intact.

The remastering has cleared up some of the poor sound quality of the original release, while being mindful and not changing the overall sound of the album.

This is a great album and should be in your collection if you like Metallica. I enjoyed this album as a teenager and continue to enjoy now many years later.

Metallica's second album is an incredible step forward, both in the music and lyrics. Surprising the the band would take such a risk with this new direction. Must have!

As a fan of Metallica, I couldn't pass up getting this CD again (and yes, i still listen to CDs sometimes). Classic record! Used to have it on cassette too.

Found this classic in a "bargain bin." Didn't think that was possible after Best Buy chose to stop selling CDs. This is a must have if you like Metallica!!

Many consider this the definitive Metallica album. To answer that question in my opinion, YES it is the greatest album released by the band and this remastered version is a MUST for any fan!

My wife is a ex dancer so she loves her music so the cd bin for $5.99 is a awesome deal. My wife loves that bin. She I as a huge fan and it saves me money.

Like Kill 'Em All, Ride The Lightning was also newly remastered and is perfect all around. Get it now!

Great album to start listening to Metallica. This one is where James has found more of his singing voice. The tracks range from powerful ballads to full thrash metal.

Always a classic. Between the first three people always say master of puppets is the best. I much prefer ride the lightning!

In my opinion, Ride The Lightning is Metallicas greatest Ever all of the songs are superior and well done I BELIEVE It was made when they were in their prime.Best Buy price!

One of their greatest albums, remastered. Need I say more? Hear one of the greatest bands in rock history, as they should be heard.

This is my favorite Metallica cd by far, still rocking it today and passed down to my kids! old school metallica will live on!

Classic Metallica, timeless album that I’d rather own on CD than I’m digital format with all the hoops involved with changing devices.

I've waited for years for Metallica to "upgrade" their early recordings, & "Ride The Lightning" is my personal favorite. At $5.99, I couldn't resist buying it: LOVE it!

not much to say here a classic met album and one of the best albums of all time. the remaster sounds good as well. can not go wrong with this one.

Classic Metallica album, I started listening to them from Justice, had not heard the previous albums before, but I love their sound before they became more popular
