Metal Militia Details Playing time: 51 min. Producer: Paul Curcio Distributor: WEA Recording type: Studio Recording mode: Stereo SPAR Code: AAD Album notes Metallica: James Hetfield (vocals, guitar); Kirk Hammett (guitar); Cliff Burton (bass); Lars Ulrich (drums). Originally released on Megaforce. Occasionally one album can be pinpointed as the turning point in a musical genre. KILL 'EM ALL is one such album and, boy, did the heavy metal genre need a transfusion of new blood. Herein trad metal was stripped of its late-70s pomposity and reduced to its base element of brutal sonic force. The rhythm section of Burton and Ulrich do a masterful job, as does rhythm guitar ace and vocalist James Hetfield, on a set that owes a debt to punk as much as to Iron Maiden and Judas Priest. The phantasmagorical allusions are still there in the lyrics, as are some long-winded guitar solos, but otherwise KILL 'EM ALL promised a creative rebirth for hard rock.Read full review
Metal Up Your Ass was the original title of the album , but the record company didnt accept it because of the containing words . Anyway i love this album it is one my favorites albums from Metallica , if you`re into thrash metal you would this album songs like Metal Militia , Hit The Lights , Seek And Destroy would take you places .. , also.. it has a the Anesthesia Bass solo (Pulling Teeth ) where you can see Cliff performing an extraordinary bass solo (the man was a monster on bass may him rest in peace ) , the only thing is does lack is the quality of the recording being kind of an underground record and considering its time , anyway its surely deserves a 5point rating
I am 42 years old, and I STILL remember the first time I heard this album. I was working at a McDonald's at the time and a fellow co-worker brought it in to work one day and decided to play it when we were on our lunch break. Of course, it was on a cassette tape!!! Anyways, at the time, I was a local DJ who played only soul/R&B/rap and have never really listened to rock. This tape blew me away!!! What the hell was this noise and when was it going away?!?!?!? Well, it was Metallica and it was the beginning of a beautiful friendship!!! I still played Cameo, Thw Whispers, Bar-Kays, Earth Wind & Fire, Rick James, Kurtis Blow, Sugar Hill Gang, etc, but when I started mixing Metallica, AC/DC, Black Sabbath and Van Halen with them, it was absolutely the best of both worlds for me!!!! Metallica kicked ass, and the rest is history!!!! If you've got a collection of rock 'n roll music WITHOUT Metallica, then YOUR COLLECTION SUCKS!!! End of story!!!Read full review

This is the album that started what we know as thrash or speed metal today. Dave may have been gone, but his spirit still lingers... It is great album full of fun songs to headbang too... If you looking for hard, raw metal then there is where you begin. As we all know Metallica, among others, are still rocking today, but they still hold on to classics on this album. Unfortunately, we lost Cliff, the bassist from this album and the writer of Pulling Teeth, but his genius lives on every time you hit play on the cd player... This is a must get for all that truly love metal, and you can hear what Metallica sounded like before the sell out albums, like the Black Album and beyond....
