This week on Retro Rock Reviews, we tackle Metallica’s 1983 album ‘Kill ‘Em All’. Now, growing up, I was an 80’s pop/rock kid and in 1983, it was Def Leppard, Kiss, Quiet Riot, Genesis, Billy Idol and bands of that style. Metallica was way too heavy for me and wasn’t melodic enough for my liking. They were never on my radar until the Black album and “Enter Sandman”. However, I never went back and explored their music. I had an opinion of Thrash and it wasn’t for me. So, here we are almost 40 years later I am now trying the debut ‘Kill ‘Em All’ and the first thing I notice is that by today’s standards, it isn’t as heavy as I would’ve thought. What else do I have to say? Check it out to see.
So go check it out as it is live now on September 12, 2024 at Noon. Thanks for stopping by and please click “Like” and hit “Subscribe” as it helps out the site when you do.

Kill ’em All is definitely the more “rock ‘n roll” album out of the first 4 thrash albums they made.

You know how in TV shows the fans push the names of a couple together to describe the relationship? Ours would be Holedano, and that’s great.

The debut album is definitely heavier than anything on the Black album and ironically enough, “Enter Sandman” was playing on the radio today. I still love that song, but I need to revisit Kill ‘Em All because it’s been a while since I’ve listened to it.
