Past Blasts: Metallica-Ride the Lightning

Just received the deluxe boxed set reissue of Metallica's second album.  This is the first time I've owned this on vinyl.

Listened to it twice.  It was an emotional experience.

It's funny, I haven't listened to this album in a long time, as in actually listened to it.  This is one of those records that has transcended actually having to be listened to.  I don't have to play a compact disc/tape/lp/mp3 to listen to this anymore.  I KNOW it, know what I mean?  I can "listen" to it anytime I want, playing it in my head.  But to actually play it again and really listen to it, it was beautiful.
