A superb follow up to their debut album. the album is more focussed on moldies,not just the loud and fast guitars, although the guitars are still loud and fast. the songs are very intelligantly written lyricly, the song "Creeping Death" is about the tenth plague of egypt, the death of the first born. then there is other themes to the rest of the songssuch as drowning for the song "trapped under Ice", a nuclear holocaust for the song "Fight Fire With Fire" and then electrocution for the song "Ride the Lightening". the best song on the cd however is "fade to black", this song is about suicide, it is excellant, starting off mellow and acoustic and building up to the powerfull outro. among these songs are the famous, "for whom the bell tolls" and "Call of the Ktulu". this is an excellant album that every metallica fan must have and even if you are not a metallica fan i would still recommend you get this cd.
