While not as timeless as Ride the Lightning or Master Puppets, Metallica's debut album--originally released in 1983--is still a fine piece of thrash metal, and as good a marker as any for the debut of the genre. Fusing the rapid-fire attack of bands like Motorhead with a guitar style reminiscent of such British heavy metal bands as Iron Maiden and Judas Priest, Metallica essentially created a new kind of metal. Several of the songs from this 1983 album have since become classics, including "Seek & Destroy", "The Four Horsemen", and "Jump in the Fire". The songwriting isn't as sophisticated as on Metallica's later releases; still, it's a great listen, and essential for any heavy metal fan. --Genevieve Williams

 METALLICA, Kill's them all, with this record. December 7, 2009
Dr. Feelgood (USA)
They started the thrash metal trend with this record, along with a few other bands, taking heavy metal music to new frontiers. This record is fast, and furious, with some heavy riffs as well. The sound quality is kind of raw, but that's okay.
 Metallica - Raw Debut December 1, 2009
Steven Sly (Kalamazoo, MI United States)
The debut release from Metallica has to be taken in context with the time period that the album appeared. For many Metallica ushered in the era of thrash metal with this album. One could argue that Motorhead did it first, but they never reached mass appeal, especially in the U.S. the way that Metallica would eventually do. "Kill Em All" sounds raw compared to the band's later releases, but it contains the core elements of everything that their fans would come to love about them including speed, power, punk, and a dash of progressive rock. This is an album from a young driven band with little prior studio experience. The vocals are screechy in spots, as Hetfield was just learning his craft at this point. The drumming is a bit pedestrian and the guitar playing is a bit sloppy here and there. The lyrics on this album are rather juvenile; something the band would improve greatly on later in their career. That being said tracks like "Hit The Lights", "The Four Horsemen" and "Seek And Destroy" still hold up well today, and continue to make appearances in the band's live shows. Metallica would improve greatly with their next album "Ride The Lightning", but although far from perfect, "Kill Em All" remains a pioneering album in the history of heavy metal.
 Kill 'Em All November 29, 2009
Bjorn Viberg (European Union)
Kill 'Em All being Metallica's 1983 release and their debut album is thrash metal and speed metal at its finest. Here we get well-written lyrics, amazing guitar riffs and intensity and anger in the singing. The booklet is quite simple with all the lyrics and a photograph of the band on the back of the booklet. The critics loved the album when it was released and Allmusic gave it 5/5. I think it is a great release but 4/5 is a more fair assessment. 4/5.
Amazon keeps bugging me to review this! October 15, 2009
Darby O' Scrillz (Bridge City, OR USA)
It was nice to hear their first album.
My favorite song to date is still "Enter Sandman"
