Customer Ratings & Reviews

Replacing my worn-out vinyl collection, this one sounds great ! Took me back to my teenage years when I heard this album for the first time. All original packaging, inner sleeve has song lyrics and band photos.

I went to my local store and it has a good variety of vynil

Ride the lightning is a nice reissue, the dead wax has “made on the Metallica press” stamped in it, great SQ. Price was good to.

The record section there is very well organized and easy to shop the

Plays great on my record player and so cool to own metal album like this on that kind of medium.

great album, one of their best by one of the greatest metal bands!

Absolutely awesome album!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

I've always loved this album, and have an original pressing of it. But I always thought it could have sounded better. Then I heard "Ride the Lightning" was being re-released and remasterd from the original analog tapes. I had my doubts, but gave it a shot. I was NOT disappointed! The bass has more punch, and the the highs are so much more crisp. Great stereo separation as well. It's everything that was great about the original album and more. It also came with the MP3 download as well, which was an added bonus. I totally recommend this release, as well as the re-release of "Kill 'em All".

This review is for the 2016 reissue of the 1984 Ride The Lightning album. I still have the 1984 version, and it is one of my favorite Metallica albums (with Master of Puppets and Kill "Em All). In this reissue, the sound quality is excellent (it is a 180gm), and it came with the lyrics and photos as the original pressing. A must buy along with Master of Puppets and Kill 'Em All.

If you like Metallica and or thrash metal, you will love this And even if you dont like either of those, you STILL will love this

Great album and good quality vinyl. Sounds good on the turntable.

It's Metallica enough said.nothing else matters...

No issues woth this album, works and sounds great and will continue to come to you all to find more.

I'm not going to review this album for what's on it. It's one of the greatest heavy metal albums of all time... but as far as the way it sounds, it's amazing. They really remastered this well, And the clarity of the album is awesome. I've heard this record a million times, and hearing it on vinyl was a whole new experience. This is a must own for any metalheads vinyl collection.

Fantastic album sounds great on vinyl i love it!!!

I recently started using a turntable as I got a small collection of records from my dad. It brings back memories listening to that special hiss that comes with listening to vinyl. I had to get some Metallica to rock out to some good memories from the past. Ready love this album so I had to purchase it.

Great piece. One of my favorite bands.. plays good .The sound is like i remember from years ago. Highly recommend.

This item was missing on my Metallica vinyl collection. I didn't want to pay big dollar for a first press and am happy with this reissue. Some might complain of the sound of this production but to me is perfectly find and decent, no complains about it.

I found this at my local BB for $10. I couldn't pass it up. The pressing is really good. Metallica rocks!

What can I say for Metallica 2nd album? Incredible and still can feel the presence of Mustaine
