Awesome album by Metallica. Features great songs like Creeping Death, For Whom the Bell Tolls, the title track, and more. Awesome stuff from Metallica with more goodness to follow...also the name of some stupid indie rock's album that no one cares about that they used to get attention just because they're a bunch of thieving whores.

Ted: I don't think I'm going to pass this exam tomorrow, I've barely studied for it and don't understand.
Bill: Sometimes you just have to Ride the Lightning and see what happens, I'm sure it'll work out.
