In my opinion Ride the Lighting has the worst drumming of all the albums. I t sounds like everything is re-used. Like he just played an average take of one song, then they used everything from that song for all the others too.

I was about 11 years old when One showed up on MTV. It was my first exposure to heavy metal. My mom took me to the store to get And Justice...on cassette 😁 when I heard the first three chords of this song DAH DAH DAH, it was all over for me. Still amazing to this day and I can't say that about a lot of music from the 80's.

@GabrielSarria 3 жыл бұрын

dude, from the 80's we've got (besides Metallica): Exodus Testament Megadeth Overkill Iron Maiden Kreator and i could keep on, there are many bands that made catchy riffs in their songs. BUT...Metallica did a better job with their sound, even tho there is no bass on AJFA

This is why And Justice for All is Metallica best album, the drumming alone on this album puts it on #1, including James's voice was at its peak, and there sound was perfected, the only bad thing about this album is the lack of the bass lol

Ive heard it with the bass remastered and TBH I prefer it without. It gives the album that gritty, raw sound it needs to be what it is.

As a drummer since almost 15 years now, AJFA is my favorite Metallica album regarding the complexity & technical difficulty of the drums. I think you should check out Quo Vadis maybe Josh. Especially their song Dream is a very technical & progressive drum composition. Thank you so much for being a continuous inspiration in my life when it comes to drums. Your precision & your aspiration for perfection & your hard work ethics are very admireable. Wish you & your family all the best Josh. Cheers
