Online Plugin Packaging Tool
If you are developing a plugin you will probably find this tool useful:
In developing my first Textpattern plugin (knd_amazonlist) I found that the process of packaging the plugin for distribution was unnecessarily difficult. So, I whipped up this tool to the job. I hope it will save you some time.

Traditionally, you can find bumper cars at the local fair and amusement parks. Children enjoy these rides for their ability to drive a car while young and to crash into other cars. Bumper cars operate through an electrical current delivered through a metal ceiling or metal floor. Building a bumper car can be very educational. You can build the bumper car using some materials at home. However, most of the materials are preconfigured and you must purchase them through a manufacturer.

Show More
- 1
Slide the fibreglass frame over the chassis. Secure the body frame by screwing in the bolts with the wrench.
- 2
Install the 4 batteries to the back of the frame. Attach each diode rectifier to the floor pickup rectifier. This establishes the energy current throughout the bumper car.
- 3
Install the nylon mounting bracket. Mount the bracket to the back with bolts. The bracket is what draws electricity from the ceiling and powers the battery.
- 4
Install the seats into the vehicle. Screw the bolts into place to secure the seats.
- 5
Wrap the rubber bumper guard around the bottom of the car. Locate the hook on the chassis and secure the bumper pieces together by latching both ends to the hook. This provides a secure seal of the bumper guard.
- 6
Place the bumper car onto a metallic floor. Press the pedal to operate and test.
Tips and warnings
- Wear protective gloves when handling fibreglass.
- Wear a seat belt while driving the bumper car.

Footpaths have always been of concern to the SVA as shown by the following statement of intention made at the Founding Meeting in 1846:
'… preserving and securing to the Public the use of such paths both in this and adjoining Parishes, as it may appear they have been accustomed, and entitled to enjoy.' Minutes of the Sidmouth Improvement Committee, 1846 (later to be the Sid Vale Association).
Within the Sid Valley there are 39 miles of footpaths and 20 miles of bridleways. For nearly 30 years the SVA has organised teams to carry out an annual survey of the condition of these rights of way. Members of the footpaths committee monitor nearly 60 miles of Public Rights of Way in the Sid valley. SVA members also lead regular walks, (listed in the SVA diary).
The SVA also assists the "Parish Paths Partnership", (P3), which exists to ensure that the entire rights of way network is legally defined, properly maintained and well publicised and is a way of involving local communities or groups in the management of the local path network.
SVA volunteers regularly check on an allocated number of footpaths and bridleways. Any problems identified with overgrowth, fallen trees or damaged way marks are reported to the P3 co-ordinator. In addition, once a year a detailed survey is carried out on all 59 miles of public rights of way and collated into an annual report. This includes paying attention to signposts, fences, stiles, gateposts, bridges and path drainage.
On regular evenings during the spring and summer (and sometimes in the winter) a group of volunteers undertakes cutting and clearing of paths and improving path drainage. In the last couple of years, the team have cleared in excess of 25 routes round the parish making the use of the public rights of way a pleasant experience for all to enjoy.

A model for mass transfer with and without chemical reaction in packed towers

Abstract A model for mass transfer in packed towers is proposed which considers local transfer conditions by taking into account the liquid residence time distribution function. This model valid when the mass transfer resistance is in the liquid phase, describes well physical and chemical absorption data, using parameters independent from the liquid flow rate. The calculated rates of chemical absorption were found dependent also on the absorbing capacity of the liquid phase, as experimentally determined by other Authors[3].

After hearing from a range of individuals, government officials and institutions, a consultant hired by the state has reaffirmed his warning that emergency plans for the Indian Point nuclear power plant cannot protect the public from a large release of radiation.
The consultant, James Lee Witt, a former director of the Federal Emergency Management Agency, plans the release today of his final report, which defends and clarifies some points in his original report but does not change his primary conclusion.
''The comments that addressed major, substantive issues were not sufficiently compelling that the draft's major findings, conclusions, and recommendations needed to be changed in the final report,'' according to an excerpt from the final report provided to The New York Times in response to inquiries.
Mr. Witt's report, which predicted that an evacuation could be hampered by panicked residents clogging roads, emergency workers unwilling or unable to respond and other uncertainties and problems, energized a campaign by citizens groups, environmentalists and elected leaders to close the plant, 35 miles north of Midtown Manhattan in the Westchester village of Buchanan, N.Y.
The report motivated members of Congress to hold hearings and other forums on the emergency plan, which includes steps for evacuating people within a federally mandated 10-mile radius of the plant. Congress has ordered the Federal Emergency Management Agency to respond to the report by March 25.
The concerns it raised were cited by the four counties surrounding the plant and by New York State in the decision not to sign off on the emergency plan this year. FEMA in turn has given the state until May 2 to submit updated information on the plan it has sought for months. Without that information, the agency has said, it will officially reject the plan, leaving the fate of the plant to the Nuclear Regulatory Commmission, which requires plants to have a FEMA-endorsed plan.
''We have made observations that we believe will benefit the citizens of the state of New York and we have made them in the hope that that potential benefit might be realized,'' Mr. Witt said in a statement.
Mr. Witt's consulting firm, James Lee Witt Associates, collected 72 submissions from the public between Jan. 10, when it released the report, and Feb. 7. It originally intended to release the final version on Feb. 28, but delayed it to further analyze the reponses, a spokeswoman said.
Entergy Corp., which owns the plant, has disputed several points in the report, but the final report says that ''few changes in the draft were required due to factual errors.''
But one of seven points the report chose to clarify is an assertion Entergy has been making for the past several weeks. ''We make no assertions that a terrorist attack would cause a faster or larger release,'' the report says, going on to explain that it had brought up the issue of a larger release only because officials thought that it was theoretically possible and that the plan did not adequately address it.
On another point, however, the final report disagrees with Entergy's past statements that the plant and the plan could adequately address a large release, regardless of its cause.
''There are unique aspects of a terrorist-caused incident that should be considered in planning and exercise,'' the report says. It adds that the plan does not take into account the possibility that the plant would be declared a crime scene after a terrorist attack and that the presence of federal law enforcement officers might affect how an emergency response was carried out.
''Existing plans should be followed during an emergency,'' the report says. ''Our intent was not to discredit the plans, but to improve them.''
This week, the Nuclear Regulatory Commission said in its annual assessment of Indian Point that while Entergy had improved the safety performance of Indian Point 2, extra scrutiny would still be given because of lingering problems.
The N.R.C. said that there was a backlog of repairs to be done and that it wanted to give additional tests to control room operators, a number of whom had failed exams in 2001, though they passed exams last year. It said Entergy also needed to continue improving security. Precautions were beefed up after 9/11 but have been criticized by some guards as inadequate for a terrorist attack.
Indian Point 3, the N.R.C. said, was running well, though the commission raised similar security concerns there.

Memory is not the opposite of forgetting, these two ideas are, as many others have also noted, twins. Rather memory unravels and intervenes, it destabilizes; so its opposite is institutionalized narrative. Memory is most powerful when it makes little sense in relation to the ways we try to tame it, be that for reactionary or liberal narratives. This also means one must part ways with memory at some point, switch to another language once lesson learning and meaning extraction become the goals. This work is overtly and rightly political, and must stake its claims on those grounds.

Continue Reading →The real dilemma concerns what must be excised from international genocide and mass atrocities agendas in order to produce the kind of lessons learned that are palatable to powerful international actors. When truth telling aligns with the interests of power, it invariably softens its demands. If you bring together people from key international decision-making institutions to discuss a historical event that can only be deemed a colossal failure, the lessons will inevitably be focused on how the different actors did not coordinate their efforts behind a single, guiding ethos or policy. This is invariably true and it evenly distributes blame. It is also invariably true of many international failures, mistakes and faux-pas: it may even describe the "international community" rather than a problem within it.

While headline PPI came in at 0.3% on a sequential basis, as expected, and rose 1.6% on the year, also in line with expectations, it was the core PPI that came in modestly hotter than expected, printing at 0.2%, above the expected 0.1%, and rose 1.6% Y/Y, above the 1.5% expected, and far above the -1.1% drop reported one year ago.The headline jump was driven by a spike in energy prices, as final demand energy rose 2.6% in December. Accounting for almost half of the December jump in final demand goods prices, the index for gasoline climbed 7.8% , while heating oil was up 9.6%.
Away from the non-core energy and gasoline prices, the headline PPI rise was driven, surprisingly, mostly by "prices for securities brokerage, dealing, investment advice, and related services" which advanced 4.4%. In other words, brokers are capitalizing on the rush by retail investors to jump in the market and are hiking prices.
Nonetheless, on an annual basis, the 1.6% increase in PPI was the highest since August 2014.
The post Core PPI Comes Hotter Than Expected, Driven By Rising "Brokerage, Investment Advice" Prices appeared first on Silver For The People.

Spooky Soap
23 comments:
OMG I just love this Halloween soap!!!!
The swirl and the colour fits perfect! The little ghosts are soo cute, I hate it that we can't get those cute decorations in Germany, we just have chocolate leafs and hearts ;)
Yes, purple is a difficult colour, it likes to fade into grey :/
Greetings from Germany!!!
P.S.: Are you maybe interested to share 1 or 2 soaps with me? You could choose free between my soaps, the most are in stock.This is such a cute Halloween soap, Cee Gee! I love the little ghosts holding the candy corn. The colors and swirls are great, too.
ReplyDeleteGreat colours,Cee! Does this black (is it pigment or activated charcoal,or mica?) bleed into the lather making it black,too? I've used both,charcoal and pigment dispersion,but in smaller portions.
This soap just fits its occasion,it's 'spooky' beautiful!This is a funny soap, Cee! The little ghosts are so sweet and the colours fit so well!
I didn't know beeswax is recommended to prevent ash, I use it sometimes because it makes the soap harder(in case I use more liquid oils).
Take care!

Collaborators/Experts Reviews
Just like in my review of Death's debut, entitled Scream Bloody Gore, i would like to say that i will rate this album according to this site and, since this is a PROGRESSIVE ROCK site, i got to rate this album according to progressive rock. However, i cannot change my opinion about this album because, otherwise, i would have to give Kill 'Em All a grade that is unfitting for its importance and its metal goodness, so i will give it 4 stars. I would like to make it clear that this rating has nothing to do with PROGRESSIVE ROCK, but with the quality of a good thrash metal album.
Metallica's Kill 'Em All is, without much doubt, thrash metal first album release ever. Being mainly influenced by the New Wave if British Heavy Metal (specially Iron Maiden and Diamond Head) and the punk / hardcore scene from the San Francisco Bay Area and, in some degree, by Motorhead (which somehow joined metal and punk). Though the NWOBHM can be seen more clearly, specially because of the band's lead guitarist and the song structure, the punk / hardcore influence is also very big, since this album shares with them the aggressive tone of the music as a whole and the rawness. Actually, that rawness can make some doubt if this album is really a thrash metal release, but do not be fooled: this is thrash, and it's good!
The songs as a whole are pretty much straightforward and not very complex in almost every way you look: the guitars, the bass, the drums or the vocals. This will change drastically with Metallica's next release, Ride the Lightning, but as far as Kill 'Em All goes, its all simplicity, headbanging and some short, but sick solos.
the highlights go to Hit the Lights, The Four Horsemen, (Anesthesia) Pulling Teeth, Whiplash and Metal Militia.
Grade and Final Thoughts
Nice debut by a nice band and deserves to be rated nicely. The two bonus tracks originally from the Creeping Death EP (Am I Evil?, Diamond Head Cover, and Blitzkrieg, Blitzkrieg Cover) also very good and fit quite well here. Both cover songs are from NWOBHM bands.

Metallica unleashed their brand of speed thrash metal to the world with one of the best metal debuts in history. Every track features brutal bass heavy riffing and crunches from beginning to end. This is a relentless 'metal militia'. The young band showed 'no remorse', no repent. They didn't care what it meant. Another day, another death, another sorrow, another death. The lyrics spelled it out in case we didn't get it. Raw, in your face stone cold thrash. Metallica focused on death, victories and losses, fiery hell, the apocalypse with the four horsemen, revelation, valiant struggles, motorbike speed runs, banging heads, lords of death, bloody destroyers and er.... death. These themes would become a blueprint for every budding metal band who were inspired by Metallica's no nonsense approach to the underground metal scene. It was not for the squeamish and still packs a whallop. Even the vocal style would drive and instigate the style of many bands such as Megadeth, Pantera and Testament, who cite Metallica as key influences. Highlights include 'The Four Horsemen', 'Whiplash', and 'Seek & Destroy'. All quite simple in structure, very straight forward - bang your head and get out of there. The simplistic style was easy to play for the budding guitarist and of course the tracks on this debut have been covered by zillions of cover bands worldwide. Heck, even I know most of the riffs and i am know lead guitar extraodinaire. The point was it ws not the complexity of the riffs but how they were pieced together. Take the best track on the album 'No Remorse', for example. Clocking in at over 6 minutes, it features complex arrangements of simple but brutal riffs to die for. It is perhaps my favourite track in the early phase of the band's meteoric rise to power.
In conclusion, a great start for the legends of power metal; the band were still wet behind the ears of course, and the best was yet to come, but this debut is marginally flawed brilliance. Deserving of at least a 4 star rating for its sheer importance in the history of metal.

Ever since its little brother, Prog Rock hit the spotlights, Heavy Metal has lived in the shade - has always aspired to the greatness of Prog, to the point that the term Progressive Metal has become a common currency to describe Heavy Metal that has such aspirations - but as anyone who has lived and breathed Classic Prog will tell you, the two are not the same thing, and never will be.
Heavy Metal emerged from the Progressive music scene back in 1967, with its tongue firmly in its cheek. Prog was generally a more serious affair - with many risible attempts to inject humour, such as Benny The Bouncer, and More Fool Me (well, I laughed at the latter - at first...).
Metal, however, sent itself up. It was a more Street level version of Prog - and continues to be that up to the current day. Everything is there - the theatricals, the virtuosic displays, nods and winks towards Jazz and Classical music - and even folk - and, in some cases, Rodney Matthews album covers.
OK, so Prog is about more than that little list, and Metallica's debut is more about Heavy Metal than anything else - in fact, it redefines what Heavy Metal was in the early 1980s, and gave the entire genre a kick... and you know where that kick landed.
For Kill 'Em All is a much undersung landmark.
All you need to do to realise its importance is to consider what came before;
Black Sabbath's use of tritones and improvisation in riff creation, Judas Priest's thrashing technique, later realised in potentia by Venom and Metal Church, Michael Schenker's precision metallic solo style, Motorhead's aggression, Randy Rhoades' Classical influences, Iron Maiden and Diamond Head's complex structures and Cliff Burton's own experimental free- jazz-metal stylisations.
That's quite a cocktail, and when you put it into the San Franciso metal smelting pot from which Metallica emerged, showering huge molten gobs of new sound over the Metal community, hotly persued by their competitive contemporaries, it becomes easier to hear how Kill 'Em All lived up to its title and changed the world of metal forever.
From the get-go, Kill Em All bludgeons you into submission with remorseless intent - but, like banging your head against the wall is at its best when you stop, when you stop cowering under the awesome might of the music, you suddenly realise that here is also music of craft and guile - music that twists and turns, that teases and tantalises - that feels improvised.
And here's where the Prog connections begin.
The first connection to make is easy, and only one step away from Motorhead. The intense whirlpool tunnels of Hawkwind are all over this album. The lack of wooey bleepy noises only serves to highlight the vortexes created by the riffs, as they create an almost tangible ball of spikes in which the unwary listener is smashed around.
We are spun into this vortex on the very first track - Hit The Lights, which is where you need to set the volume levels. If you can't hear every detail in the first second, the volume is not loud enough. Volume makes a difference to the experience - so go back, turn it up and start again.
Such a genre changing album deserves every second and them some of the introduction - and then the mayhem starts. The riffs fly off at tight tangents - but the thrash element (for which Metallica are often criticised) is used very sparingly and craftily, and the changes throughout are immaculately timed with, and this is important, Rock and Roll precision. Kirk's solos scream and soar like malignant birds of prey, creating the first of 10 classic tracks.
The Four Horsemen is a slight drop in standards from the opener - while the Hawkwind vortex is still present, it is weaked by repetition in the riffs - and this is part of why Megadeth could never be considered a Prog Metal band in the same way that Metallica can.
There are some wonderful devices - such as the exposed chug around 2:03, leading to a variation of the main riff, the walking phrase that links it to the first bridge at 2:37, linked in by this new walking idea, then on to a chugging variant. The walking phrase is then reused to connect to a new, slower tempo riff, another variant of the earlier material to support the first, guitar solo, but then a dual whammy-bar attack takes us into a new riff, the walking section, and back to a broken up version of the start before returning to the first riff.
This density of material and thematic development has far more in common with King Crimson than it does with Black Sabbath, Judas Priest or Venom - consider the song 21st Century Schizoid Man, which uses the same thematic developing technique (as well as the metallic riffs!). Go ahead - play the two back to back!
Motorbreath is a continuation of this pattern - the old song structure is given new life via riff development - real musical progression, which compares starkly with Mustaine's more tangential unrelated idea- threading technique, as showcased in Jump In The Fire. As with Iron Maiden and Sabbath, it's in the instrumental sections that the interest lies - although there's not so much in these short songs.
I tend to skip through Anesthesia - having heard what Cliff is capable of, this is not a particularly good representation - although it is a rare record of a very gifted musician, and a hugely important figure in the development of Progressive Metal. Finally, the bass is brought out from its supporting role and into the spotlight with the other instruments.
Whiplash rounds off side 1 of the vinyl with a tour-de-force landmark in thrash metal - at one and the same time redefining what thrash is (Thrash is an alternate picked rhythm guitar style that typically uses either the open E or A string, sometimes drop tuned, as a root, while other chords are accented over the top. This root note/changing chord technique is known as pedal points in Classical music), and setting an almost impossible benchmark - a song that is both catchy, and technically challenging (once you've got the hang of exactly where the accent occurs in the second riff, you have to cope with the double-speed Whole Lotta Love riff variant in the instrumental!), dispenses with the old Verse/Chorus format (the only chorus is a shout of the song title), has a multi- tempo, multi-style instrumental section, and the strongest sense of the Hawkwind vortex (as I like to think of it) on this entire side.
...and then we turn the record over!
Only 4 tracks on side 2 - but what monsters.
Phantom Lord exploits the same variation technique - and let's get this straight - the variation technique is hard - much harder than the Off-At-Tangents technique, which is a cop-out in comparison.
Listen to how Metallica spin the riffs around, literally turning them upside down, finding a more mellow, acoustic feel within them, building them up with metallic chunks, and literally throwing ideas around with masterfully timed precision - Lars switching from Hi Hat to ride cymbal for perfect punctuation.
And this is the weakest track on side 2.
No Remorse then proceeds to live up to its name - the riffs, the tempo changes, the searing solos, Kirk's lack of chops... never mind - you get the picture. The Heavy metal riffs continue relentlessly shifting like quicksand - once one hook has got into your head, another evilly replaces it until THAT instrumental - the thrash technique has been held off until precisely the right moment, and it's fed to us bit by bit, Cliff's bass propelling with perfection a riff with more gallop than the Four Horsemen, Lars feeding it hefty slabs of tom-tom - but Metallica save the best for the second instrumental at 4:45; a scream of Let's Goooo!!!! is followed by a riff that makes Whiplash feel slow, accents piercing and punctuating. This is taken down a few steps for the vocal sections, and returned to, never stopping the onslaught, merely changing the bludgeoning rate.
Sadly I've played Seek and Destroy to death, to the point that I can't listen to it any more - but it's chock full of the same sorts of twists, turns and Saxon riffs... yes, Metallica are frequently accused of plagiarism, particularly in their early work, but the reality is that they knew a good riff when they heard one, and, like Led Zeppelin and Deep Purple before them, knew with an unerring instinct how to make it better.
Again, the real interest is in the instrumental section - but it's also worth noting that the Ball Of Spikes feeling I meantioned earlier is very strong here, despite this being a slower tempo song. Can't hear it? Turn it up!
The album closes with my favourite, Metal Militia.
The tempo here is quite literally breakneck thrasherama - but it is controlled. Metallica ride the tiger here, unleasing riff after riff, going off at tangents for once - but it works here, as a complete contrast to the naturally developing style of earlier, and proves that Metallica were able to work not only at different tempos but in completely different compositional styles within the fledgling genre that they helped to hatch.
The Ball of Spikes is at its strongest here - and just when you think it can't get any faster... it does. Kirk's solo is a complete revelation - the spikes becoming razor edged.
Then there are more riffs - oh, the riffs!
These are chucked around with devil-may-care alcarity, and only a couple of little fluffs - which we completely forgive the purveyors of the new order of metal.
This is NOT a heavy metal album.
Compare it with ANYTHING else released in or before 1983 and see what I mean.
The closest is Venom's Black Metal - but Venom didn't have Cliff, they had a guy who couldn't play bass. They also had a guy whose rhythmic ideas ran to Hit 'Em All. While the guitarist invented the thrash technique and successfully held the band together, everyone else got on with the business of raising hell and killing music (I refer to the label on the back of the original album).
Metallica, on the other hand, concentrated on the music - on creating new music that had never been heard before for a new world order in which Metallica would be top of the Metal heap - and so they are, for better or worse.
But Kill Em All is an album you MUST hear, if only to understand how Prog Metal came about, and to hear the things it could yet be. For Prog Metal seems to be slow or scared to catch up with the idea of using improvisation and variation in riffs - and until it does, it will never progress musically, just technically. Kill 'Em All is the beginning of BOTH sorts of musical progression, and hence is Progressive Metal in spirit, if not attitude.
Many were not happy with the situation and decided to go completely against the mold. The most extreme genre of metal at the time was developing. It was called thrash metal, a genre with characteristics like fast tempos, many tempo changes, heavy percussive low register riffs, fast (sometimes shredding) guitar solos, influenced by punk and hardcore punk and with an overall level of aggression never before seen in any rock music genre, even more so than the aggression found in hardcore punk.
When exactly thrash metal became a genre, is not really known, but it is known a band called Leather Charm, wrote a song in 1981, called Hit The Lights. One of the more important aspects of the band, is that one member was in fact, James Hetfield. Around this time, thrash metal was fully up and running, with many bands having formed already, with the Bay Area Thrash scene being a particular focal point. Leather Charm was just one of these bands, heavily influenced by NWOBHM bands like Iron Maiden, Motorhead and Diamond Head. While very much in the style of NWOBHM, the band had wrote an arrangement of the song Hit The Lights, which is of particular importance.
The band was short lived and out of its ashes, a band called Metallica, which formed in late 1981. A drummer, Lars Ulrich, placed an advertisement in a classified newspaper called the The Recycler that stated he was looking for other band members and James Hetfield answered that advertisement. The band now had a singer and rhythm guitarist and the hunt for a lead guitarist was on. Guitarist Lloyd Grant had a very brief time in the band (legend has it, his contribution consisted of a single guitar solo and nothing more), so the band would have to keep looking. Another ad was placed in The Recycler, and this time around, a 20 year old Dave Mustaine answered. He had some great gear and was subsequently hired by the band. Ron McGovney was the bassist for a while, but clashes with Ulrich and Mustaine resulted in the band wanting to replace him. Hetfield was amazed by the bass solo Cliff Burton performed (at the time, Cliff was in a band called Trauma) and asked if he wanted to join. Cliff said yes.
Now with a full line up, the band would play many shows and obliterated audiences with their hard hitting brand of thrash metal. The band would also record the seminal demo tape, No Life 'Till Leather with this line up. All was not well though, with Dave Mustaine abusing alcohol and drugs and having occasional violent outbursts. He was replaced with a guitarist from Bay Area Band Exodus, the guitarist in question being Kirk Hammett.
History lesson over.
The album begins with Hit The Lights, with a crazy opening of smashing guitars and frenzied drumming before it goes into the main riff. At this point, we know we are in for thrash metal thrill ride. Straight into a speedy riff accented with palm mutes, it's a riff more technical (like many riffs on this album) than much of what other metal bands were doing at the time. The riffs just seem to blend into each other, rather than sound incoherent next to each other. While the song isn't particularly complex, the way the riffs tie in together give the song a evolutionary feel, if you will and certainly The tempo changes too, don't seem a bit out of place at al. Kirk's leads soar and demonstrate a different take on what can be done with the pentatonic scale, but indeed, as this was a song that has Dave Mustaine writing credits on it, the solo is very much in the vein of the solos Mustaine wrote for some of the songs on the record.
Onto The Four Horsemen now. Perhaps the proggiest piece on this album. While many metal bands at the time would stretch out songs by placing in extra riffs that didn't display much development over the prior riff, The Four Horsemen flows like a river free of all obstacles. Each E Minor riff just seems to tie into each other and we even get a taste of the Phyrgian scale (although perhaps not intentional, so chromaticism may be the word here) too, but it flows so effortlessly that it only really becomes obvious when you hear that F note (during the riff that begins around 2:04)
One of the most amazing and beautiful moments of the song for me, is the melodic instrumental section beginning about 3:28. Cliff Burton's bass comes a bit more during this part, and of course, we get perhaps the best guitar solo on the record. Even during the faster moments, I never feel a loss of soul during this solo. After much twisting and turning, we finally return to the first riff of the song. We then get another blistering Mustaine solo before the song concludes.
Motorbreath continues this onslaught and again, the development that was shown during the last two songs doesn't stop. The song being in predominantly B Aeolian certainly gives it a unique, especially wen you consider how popular it was at the time to write metal riffs that bounced off the open E and A strings which would then usually result in a E or A Aeolian tonality. While they may not be long, there is some cool instrumental sections to keep the song going. It's a fairly short song, but it excites me nonetheless.
I've always felt Jump In The Fire was a fairly weak spot on this album and it's really the only track I would consider skipping from time to time. It's definitely more 'speed metal' than thrash metal in feel, although that isn't the reason I may tend to skip it. The song seems to drag on a bit, and the riffs don't seem to excite me as much as the previous songs. The solo sections are not bad, and the lyrics are somewhat amusing too, erring on the sexual side.... funny to imagine a young pimply faced James Hetfield singing that kinda stuff in his gruff and rough voice.
Fortunately, (Anesthesia) Pulling Teeth comes to save the day. An all instrumental track (essentially a bass solo), Cliff Burton's playing is a bass tour de force and perhaps represents some of the most virtuosic bass playing in heavy metal up until that point in time. He utilizes a heavily distorted bass tone (it sounds somewhat 'unnatural' leading me to believe he used guitar distortion pedals instead of a bass distortion pedal), while not a new thing, was certainly unusual at the time. Demonstrating the use of picked arpeggios, right hand tapping, use of a wah wah pedal and string bends (pretty tough to do on bass guitar) , it certainly was a fresh and unique sounding approach to bass. While a few players like Steve Harris of Iron Maiden adopted an approach to bass that helped to push bass more towards the center stage (so to speak), Cliff Burton managed to not only do this, but did it in a virtuosic way that left people slack jawed. I still remember when I first heard this album back in 2004, I was absolutely floored by this bass solo. And it's a pretty good composition to top it off.
Now onto the second half the of the album. Whiplash. The riff that comes in at about 30 seconds.... pure unadulterated thrash metal to the core. Palm muted tremolo picked with a chromatic descending line and hitting the open E string. So what? you say. Well it was the stuff that pretty much helped define the genre and it made the riffs feel like they were literally thrashing. Challenging to play, but it doesn't fail to stick in your mind. Like many of the other songs thus so far, it strays from the pop formula of verse/chorus and throws in a cool instrumental/guitar solo section to boot.
Phantom Lord has that little swirly sound thing going on at the start, but soon goes into melt down metal. Again, it has that evolutionary feel to it. One thing that I found to be really cool, was the use of the right hand tapping technique in the first solo, which sure enough was nothing new, but it helped to cement the use of shredding in more styles of metal. Kirk's other solos in this song have this hellbent sense of urgency, almost as if they are telling you to get away from the Phantom Lord, before he catches you.
No Remorse, is absolutely thundering. From the heavy crushing riff in F# minor in the intro, with Kirk's wah wah pedaled solo, straight into the punishing E minor riffage. One thing that always felt really cool to me, was that clever tempo change and use of Mixloydian riffing at 3:48. I can just imagine that would catch any first time listener of the album completely off guard and leave them thinking Where the hell did that come from?. But hey, it works. From Hetfield's mighty scream of LET'S GOOOO! it's balls to wall, no-compromise thrash riffage. And what a way to end the song it is.
Seek and Destroy. Some really bad lyrics here to be honest, but I can overlook that if only because everything else is done so well. One thing that is immediately obvious, is that it's a mid tempo song for the most part. But have no worries, the tempo change section you are waiting for does in fact exist, coming in at 3:11. Kirk demonstrates some fairly challenging alternate picking chops for the time in his solos, even if the solos themselves aren't the best on the record.
The album closes with a more straight forward thrasher. But it's a thunderous closer anyway, with a torrent of riffs. Perfect for unleashing the Metal Militia onto the world.
A few things that bother me, are perhaps Jump in the Fire being a fairly weak track and some of Kirk's soloing.... because let's fact it, he wasn't a virtuoso and certainly was not up to the level of Randy Rhoads (who had died a year before this album was released) and Eddie Van Halen.
A seminal record in the history of metal and one that changed the way people saw metal, and the way metal would be composed.
I do not consider Metallica prog, or related to the genre at all. If it was for proto purposes, I would say Mercyful Fate or King Diamond should be handed the title, but regardless, Metallica is here and I will rate their albums without bias. I was never a fan of this band, metal just didn't agree with me growing up, until I heard Dream Theater. Anywho, Metallica did create some classics that anybody should enjoy.
This is the most thrashy and speediest of the bunch, and that makes this one of my favorites. The speedy rhythm's of James Hetfield and speedy solos by Kirk Hammett nail the classic Metallica sound from the very first song put on record. While it sometimes gets redundant, well a lot, there are some tracks on here that stand out completely as thoughtful and 'cool'
'Seek and Destroy', 'Anesthesia', 'Jump in the Fire' and 'No Remorse' each have some special qualities that the other six didn't have which led them all to sounding pretty similar in nature.
I dub this album to be a very good one. A great start for someone to get into early Metallica (is there anybody out there?) and for curiosity as to how this band was started.

The music on the album is a mix of NWoBHM influenced heavy metal and punk but played with a lot more aggression (well... some punk are pretty aggressive. But still) and speed than usual for those genres and "Kill �em All" is rightly so called one of the first thrash metal albums in history. The influence from bands like Diamond Head, Mot�rhead, Iron Maiden and Venom is very obvious in the music. The production is very unpolished and raw which helps give the music and even meaner sound than it already has. it�s definitely one of the most raw, fast and aggressive albums released in those days. Songs like "Hit the Lights", "Moterbreath" and "Whiplash" are absolutely crushing with their "pedal down" simple and powerful delivery. But there are more to the album than songs like that and I count "The Four Horsemen", "Phantom Lord" and "Seek & Destroy" as more sophisticated songs even though they are still pretty direct. "(Anesthesia) Pulling Teeth" has to be mentioned too. It�s a distorted bass solo by Cliff Burton which he often played live in the early years. Most songs are credited to James Hetfield and Lars Ulrich but it�s noteworthy that Dave Mustaine is also credited on "Jump in the Fire", "Phantom Lord", "Metal Militia" and "The Four Horsemen". The latter is a song which in it�s original and shorter form was named "The Mechanix". Dave Mustaine would take this version of the song with him to his new band Megadeth and it is featured on the "Killing Is My Business...and Business Is Good! (1985)" debut album by that band.
The musicianship is solid (but not outstanding). Raw and unpolished. You can feel the hunger in the way these guys play their music. It�s like nothing else matters (pun intended).
"Kill �em All" is a seminal thrash metal album and in retrospect it�s almost hilarious that the original vinyl pressing was limited to 1500 copies (which of course sold out in no time). Today the album has sold around 3 million copies in the US alone. For all it�s groundbreaking qualities it�s not an album I put on very often anymore and when I do it almost always comes off before it�s finished and therefore my personal rating will be 3.5 stars. If I rated albums from the perspective of historical importance "Kill �em All" would probably receive a 4 rating. So add that half stars to my rating if you think that�s more fair.
Kill 'Em All. This is one of the most influential albums in metal. This was the birth of Thrash Metal. The impact can not be fully described. This is a good album, and is pure thrash metal. There is no prog on here what so ever. Some say, (like with Death's first release) this album could be progressive in nature, since it is new. However, I do not think that way. This album, musically, is straight up thrash metal. It has basic, metal song structures, lots of open E string tremolo picking, and wild solo's.
Much of this album was written when Dave Mustaine was still in the band. He quickly got the boot thanks to his drug use and partying a little too hard for the rest. However, the influence is distinct. This album has a very Mustaine-esque feel to it, with a section of singing, quick solo, section of singing, quick solo, repeat. Followed of course with the grand solo in the last half. I can also hear Dave's influence in some of the actual solo's themselves, (Kirk himself admitted to using them as a guidline). While he is not as good as Dave in my opinion, Kirk Hammett is a good guitarist. James plays rhythm and does vocals, which are in a typical shouting, high pitched style of 80's metal. Of course Lars does drumming duty. He is a mediocre drummer. Not bad, but not great. I guess that's the LEAST you could ask though, is get the job done. Cliff is a great bassist, but you can not hear his work on this album really.
Hit the Lights. Starts with a nice metal intro. Soon it is into a riff that any Metallica fan will recognize. This goes for a while, backed up by some James yelling vocals, and simple thrash beats. Oh and lots of solos! The last 2 minutes feature some wild soloing.
The Four Horsemen. A bit slower and with an awesome riff. This continues for a bit until you get to a cool sounding part in the middle. Then there is one of the better solos on the album, and some really great complementary rhythm guitar work. Then its back to the main riff and goes with a nice solo, (and one where I can hear Mustaine's influence).
Motorbreath. Begins with a fun little drum intro, I can again hear alot of Mustaine influence. Good song but nothing spectacular.
Jump in the Fire. A cool sounding riff, and quick 5 second solo burst before the song kicks in, (again Dave Mustaine anyone?). Again, this song is good but nothing really seems to jump out. Overall, it is a bit slower then the rest, except at the end.
(Anesthesia) Pulling Teeth. Ah, yes. The bass solo. While you can not hear Cliff on the album, I guess this makes up for it. Here he showcases his style: his crazy playing and use of effects. The first half is ALL him and has some interesting melodies, and cool sounds. Then it picks up and we get a nice drum beat to accompany him. The second half is faster, dirtier and actually not quite as good. Overall, a unique and great song, a true display of his talents and a rare bass feature!
Whiplash. My favorite song from the album. After the bass solo this takes by surprise! After the loud intro is some Lars...and guitar holds. Then the riff comes in, one of the better ones of the album. This goes for a while, with a few changes and James' distinct rough voice. Also, his famous music pause followed by a yell. ........WHIPLASH! The first half is like this, but the last minute is truly gold! The solo's kick in and boy are they wild. I especially enjoy the second one.
Phantom Lord. A pretty nice intro actually, and then the thrash! This song may has the most chord progression and some great solos! There is a cool dual solo in the middle and a crazy tapping one. Then things get crazy! Crazy as in slow, and melodic. Not for too long though, soon it is back to metal and ends with the most stereotypical rock ending there is.
No Remorse. Another Mustaine influenced song, it can be heard in the first 40 some seconds. There are some really great sounding riffs in this song and there is a blistering thrash finale.
Seek and Destroy. The best riff on the album. Oh and you can hear some bass! It is actually a fairly slow paced song and has some good chord progression. At 3:35 more Mustaine influence is heard with several short, quick paced solos being swapped between Kirk and James. My second favorite from the album.
Metal Militia. That pretty much sums it up. Maybe the fastest song on the album it is, well very fast. Through and through it is speed and great for rockin out. You can also hear a bit of bass as well!
So, what to make of this album? Personally, I love it. It is a great work and one of the true stars in metal history. However, there is nothing prog about it. Not to mention the album can get a bit draggy in some spots. I give the album a 4 out of 5. However, this is not a prog work at all so for the purpose of this site, I say it deserves:
2 stars
SPECIAL COLLABORATOR Prog Metal Team
Things evolved rapidly in the 80's. Iron Maiden, leading force of British new wave of heavy metal, had started their career by injecting 70's hard-rock with a shot of punk-adrenaline. Three years later in their career, that punk spirit had faded and they had already started to embrace anthemic pop metal idioms by then. But already a new generation was eager to take over and prove that not only Mot�rhead had the right to stay true to the rebellious spirit of metal. In the California Bay area a new scene evolved, thrash metal: louder, more aggressive, faster, more vicious, darker and more uncompromising then music ever was before.
Iron Maiden remained an icon, especially for Metallica's prog evolution. But on this debut, it's mainly Mot�rhead's speed and roughness, Black Sabbath's evil tritone and Judas Priest's twin guitar attack that are stretched to their ultimate possibilities. The great improvement that the thrashers did on the NWOBHM was to make the punk aggression more prominent and to eschew entirely from commercialism and metal sing-alongs. At least, in the beginning they did.
Metallica's debut is a rollercoaster of raw and unpolished energy, it's an album that I love a lot more then just 3 stars, but within Metallica's entire discography, 3.5 stars fit suitably. I rarely play this album in its entity by the way. It's the kind of album I put on if I need a 10 minute shot of energy.
First of all I would like to say I'm pleased with the addition of Metallica as Prog Related in PA, because their 2nd, 3rd and 4th albums are highly influential to progressive metal genre.
At last it's time for me to review Metallica. In front of me is their debut album - Kill 'Em All. This album is legendary for the fans of Metallica, but for me it's not! I think that the band shows some potential with Kill 'Em All, but this album doesn't contains nothing significant, except Seek & Destroy , which is one of their all time best songs. Everything else doesn't contain enough ideas or the ideas are developed too amateurish. The songwriting is poor. The musicianship is good and reveals the big potential of the band. The vocals by James Hetfield are ridiculous - like a screaming little boy. His voice is still not broken. Production is mediocre and unpolished. Not more than 2,25 stars!
So yeah, it's well established what this album does poorly. On the other hand, let's look at what it does well. The riffs range from good to great. The band is insanely tight. The songs chug and thrash mercilessly. The solos are fast and at least mildly interesting. And, a couple of times, we get a clear glimpse at the more "sophisticated" future of the band, particularly in the aforementioned epic "The Four Horsemen," which cycles through a number of terrific riffs and instrumental passages. The descending riff in the "chorus," in particular, could stay in my head for hours and I wouldn't get sick of it. Of course, that riff was apparently written by Dave Mustaine, a former bandmate (and lead guitarist prior to Hammett) who went on to form Megadeth, but who am I to complain? Coming close in "epic" power, though, is "Seek and Destroy," a solid mid-tempo seven minute chugger that would be routinely stretched to 20-minute lengths in concert, and which is a great listen here as well.
Elsewhere, the one track that significantly sticks out is a decently distorted bass-driven (solo for the first half, with drums coming in during the second half) instrumental, "Anaesthesia (Pulling Teeth)" where Cliff mixes arpeggios with shredding his sound something fierce; I might be slightly overrating it, but it's just as fun to listen to as, say, "The Fish," even if for somewhat different reasons ("The Fish" had more arranging talent involved, what with the six layers of bass piling on top of each other). Otherwise, though, the album consists of a mix of mid-tempo thrash ("Jump in the Fire," which has an AWESOME set of riffs, is the highlight of these) and breakneck-tempo thrash (like the opening "Hit the Lights," which shows from the beginning that Metallica had showmanship down to a tee; what an over-the-top great introduction), which all simmers at a pretty solid level. No, I don't consider "Hit the Lights," "Whiplash," "Motorbreath," "Phantom Lord," "No Remorse" or the closing "Metal Militia" to be on par with the band's very greatest accomplishments, but as the years have gone by, I've come to get my headbanging kicks from all of them. No, they're not really sophisticated; the solos, cool as they may be, are more or less tacked on, and the band isn't reinventing jack with these tracks (they're just putting an American gritty slant on European metal). But unlike the younger me, I don't absolutely require "artsiness" in my metal for it to be enjoyable, as long as the more basic elements are effective.
In short, then, this is a really fun, really enjoyable debut, which is a perspective totally unlike my older one. Maybe you'll agree with my previous assessment more than my current one, and I can certainly understand this ... but if that's the case, I can't help but think you need to lighten up a bit. This is one of the best "lightweight" thrash-related albums I've ever heard, and that's enough for me.
The new wave of British Heavy Metal had almost reached it's highlight in '83, whilst America's heavy metal was about to get a great boost. Metallica became known as the band that introduced the thrash metal genre to public. When I was sixteen I used to like their up-tempo relentless metal very much and I still think it is quality music within it's genre.
The sound of metal changed. First the heaviness of the guitars was used to make the melodic/chord structures more bombastic, but within the borders of thrash the often non- melodic heavy riffs became the main ingredient of the music. The vocals on this record are very tough!
Metallica proved to be the king of these very heavy riffs with extreme guitar amplification. The songwriting was strong with still some punk and rock'n roll influences from bands like Moterhead and Diamond Head. Metallica developed the genre by changing the rules of songwriting from time to time. The Four Horseman had an extended form with song-within-a- song structures, Jump into the Fire has a Deep Purple influenced sound, Pulling Teeth is the best metal-bass solo ever recorded with it's melodic but distorted bass and great drums in the ending section. Opening and ending tracks Hit the Lights and Metal Militia are both up-tempo trash songs with an catchy sound (who would have though such a thing?).
Conclusion. A nice debut of Metallica and still one of their better albums. A very influential and good metal record with little progressive moments. Only the sound of the album can be put forward as a very innovative development. Three stars. Must-have for metal-fans.

It's interesting to read some of the thoughts of metalheads on the Metallica debut. Some praise it as the righteous father of thrash and prog-metal, while others laugh at this notion, one guy noting that any real thrash riffs on this album were already tired and dated by the time it dropped. Others seem to hate Metallica for bring non-metalheads snooping into the metal scene, where we praise this and a few high profile bands as if we actually understand their scene. I won't do that nor will I pretend any deep insight as I was not a true metalhead who dug beyond the surface too much.
In the mid 80s my high school friends who loved metal and hard rock did embrace those glorious first three Metallica albums as the antidote to crap like Ratt and Def Leppard, and all the rest of the terribly lame 80s hair metal. There was some purity and authenticity to this band. We found a local band who covered Metallica songs and played them better than Metallica, who we realized were actually pretty average as a live band. There was a certain new energy here not provided by older bands like Sabbath or Maiden and we started to cover some of these songs in our own rag-tag band.
The most appealing musical aspect here all these years later is the low-fi DIY sounding production, which some see as a negative. Actually it's what makes the album. It was recorded in just two weeks, something today's Metallica could never achieve to save their lives. This alone speaks volumes about a band's purpose and necessity. The simplicity and the almost punkish energy to the tracks is really invigorating. Highlights include the anthemic, surging "Hit the Lights" and "The Four Horsemen." Horsemen is really the track that brings the biggest smile, such a fantastic combination of chords and crunch, and some really nice variation with the different sections of the song. "Pulling Teeth" is Burton doing some bass soloing which gives a little hint to future aspiration for more elaborate stuff. I love the absolute break-neck speed of the "No Remorse" riff contrasting with the much more subtle and slower pacing of "Seek and Destroy." While all of the tracks are not of great level individually, especially by today's standards, the overall body of work is cohesive and consistent.
While the band would certainly refine and expand on future work, the youth and grit of this one make it a special recording to me. It stands alone as the Metallica spirit I recall most fondly, even if I must acknowledge the maturing superiority of MoP. The album cover's menacing hammer is perfect for conveying this spirit, even if we all have our own ideas over who most deserves the hammer. Kill Em may have been the father of thrash or not, that's up to the experts. For me in 2010 it serves as therapy for rage as well as some good clean fun.
While 'Master Of Puppets' may be the album that Bay Area thrashers (and now legendary act) Metallica is best known for, it's their debut 'Kill 'Em All' that may have made the greatest resounding impact on music. The year was 1983, and at the time, the genre of metal was very different than the diverse expanse it is today. With bands like Black Sabbath and Mountain defining what heavy metal was considered to be, one can imagine things getting shaken up when a group of rebellious teens decided to come out with this album; heavy metal had never sounded so fast, and well, thrashy before. The end result left alot of metalheads of the period scratching their heads, and a foundation for the new genre that would come to be known as thrash metal.
Outside of it's undeniably remarkable historical context however, 'Kill 'Em All' is a good record, and succeeds on many points, especially considering the relative youth of the band at this point. Unrelentingly fast and riff-oriented, 'Kill 'Em All' is a no-frills approach to metal; everything from the rapidfire pace of the music to the machismo lyrical content brings forth the sense that Metallica were trying to contrast the increasingly overproduced sound of the genre, by defying convention.
While certainly unique for it's time, most of the songs here are quite similar in nature and structure, generally revolving on one central, memorable riff, with the adolescent bark of James Hetfield yowling out lyrics that any young metalhead can relate to. The only two songs that really break out of the typical song convention are 'The Four Horsemen', which draws itself out over seven minutes, and 'Anesthesia', a very lo-fi bass solo recorded by the late Cliff Burton after a single take, which while enjoyable enough, has a very muddy, 'demo' production to it that doesn't quite fit in with the rest of the album's comparatively clear sound. Of the conventional songs here, standouts include the opener 'Hit The Lights', 'Jump In The Fire' and 'Seek & Destroy', which has since become a classic song for the band to play live. While the songs are generally quite good, the fact that each is so similar does tend to wear a bit thin by the end of the record.
While 'Kill 'Em All' may not be on the same musical level as 'Master Of Puppets' or '...And Justice For All', Metallica's debut stands out as being one of the most relevant metal albums to be released, as well as a good thrash metal album on it's own. It's simplicity aside, Metallica really rebelled against the heavy metal scene here, and in doing so, inspired a generation of kids to pick up their guitars and start making heavy music of their own.
Briefly, after a rocky beginning that involved two of the founding members being replaced, Metallica went into the studio in May 1983 to record their style of raucous, irked mayhem without a trace of compromise. Released in July of that same year, "Kill 'Em All" may not have taken the world or the biz by storm but it did mark the beginning of a welcome drift away from the disturbing triteness of the then-current deluge of vapid pop, back toward the roots of hard & heavy rock pioneered by rough outfits like the original Jeff Beck Group, MC5 and Blue Cheer. Drummer Lars Ulrich, bassist Clifford Lee Burton, guitarist/vocalist James Alan Hetfield and lead axeman Kirk Hammett were only interested in playing sizzling specimens of ballsy rock & roll that sated their souls and got their eager audiences off. They may or may not have realized they were breaking ground on a whole new wing in the planet's music building that the public had been yearning to see constructed for years but it didn't matter. They opened the flood gates.
Debut albums can be dicey deals. The most common ailments that adversely affect a band's first venture are lack of confidence, timidity and too much self-consciousness. Metallica suffered from none of those maladies as exemplified by the raw aggressiveness of the opening cut, "Hit the Lights." You can tell they had visions of SRO concert halls in mind by the grandiose beginning they deliver, setting the listener up for a no-frills metal onslaught. Happily, I detect a solid Deep Purple influence lurking in the song's foundation while Hammett shreds like a madman covered with ants. "The Four Horsemen" follows, a riff-driven rocker that's predictable arrangement-wise but intense enthusiasm can't be overvalued when trying to make an impression and they have plenty to spare. The middle section of the tune turns more adventurous as they guide the number through some unexpected feels and tempos. "Motorbreath" is next, presented at a speed-demon pace and accentuated by tight kicks from Ulrich. I must report that Hetfield's vocal is more shouting than singing at this juncture of his career while acknowledging that years down the road his steady improvement in that area would be nothing short of remarkable. Their na�ve innocence is on full display during "Jump in the Fire" as they make it obvious that their sole mission is to further their boisterous agenda even if the track's fidelity has to take a back seat to sheer ferocity. Kirk's guitar ride burns hot as a Hades summer. Speaking of fiery, "(Anesthesia) Pulling Teeth" is Burton's baby from start to end. His lone, loud-as-hell bass guitar intro is intentionally anti-Van Halen in nature but intriguing in the unique stance it takes. The group dives in at the halfway point but it's Clifford who's making the strongest statement, proving his undeniable ability to run with the big boys via this nut-busting instrumental.
"Whiplash" knocks you upside your skull with sharp blasts resounding over Lars' heavy toms, then it evolves into a locomotive-on-high-octane-racing-fuel extravaganza that takes no prisoners. As I implied earlier, in the early 70s I would've eaten this stuff up like bon-bons because the band's overall musicianship and tightness is nothing short of phenomenal. The royal intro they attach to "Phantom Lord" doesn't last long as they soon revert to their bread-and-butter, unrestricted maniacal rock. Again they surprise me by digressing into a semi-prog motif briefly before returning to their blazing sprint. I found myself amused during "No Remorse" by how they consistently stick Kirk's guitar leads way up front in the mix as if to say "we don't care about being slick, Dick, just listen to THIS!" It's another road-grader of a tune with no hint of a let up in their aural assault to be found. "Seek and Destroy" exemplifies everything ruthless about metal music due to its unapologetically pulsating, head-banging mindset. This cut, maybe more than any other on the disc, forces their regal roots to the surface and shows Metallica to be an ensemble steeped in the grand tradition of the rock titans that were roaring like lions when they were still pooping their Pampers. "Metal Militia" is next and there's only so much you can assimilate when they're flying by at the speed of light. I just tried to hang on. The much slower, menacing approach they adopt for the start of "Am I Evil" brings to mind the dark aura that Black Sabbath once exuded. But by now the unrelenting sledgehammer effect becomes headache-inducing inside this graying head of mine although Hammett does a fantastic job of imitating Ritchie Blackmore on this song. They close with "Blitzkrieg" and they go out the way you'd expect, riding atop another growling riff like demonic cowboys and relentlessly chewing up the landscape without mercy.
When Metallica was added to this site I, not being all that familiar with their body of work, had reservations about their qualifications. However, now that I've investigated their debut, I clearly see the progressive spirit they possess because, while they may be many things, they're never boring, unimaginative or cowardly and those are essential ingredients to being labeled as prog-related. I remember the excitement I experienced every time bands like Trapeze dug in their claws and produced gut-grabbing hard rock in the 60s and 70s that acted as a necessary pressure-release valve for my pent-up emotions. Now I'm starting to understand why Metallica's music meant so much to so many, especially during the empty 80s. They met the same primal need that must be met in each generation, else the Earth will explode. 3.4 stars.
