Kids who claim to be Metallica fans but think the Black Album is their debut album are ignorant because Kill 'em All is their first album.

Kill em all

A metallica album from July 1983. A favorite to the thrash crowd and any one that has good taste in music.
The nu metal kids have no idea what Kill em all is.

kill em all

Metallica's first and best album.

Heavily influenced by Venom and Motorhead but took it up another notch with the superior guitar soloing of former Exodus guitarist Kirk Hammett.

Reworks demos from 1981's Hit the Lights 7-inch and 1982's No Life Til Leather (featuring Dave Mustaine on lead guitars/lead vocals) and vastly improves on their song structure.

Song list found in another prior UD definition. All songs are raw and not overproduced - the opposite of every Metallica album afterwards.

Originally released on Megaforce Records in May 1983.
Kill Em All is clearly the only Metallica album that doesn't suck and is still enjoyable in the present tense.

The black kids in my high school (late 1980s) thought Kill Em All had something to do with killing black people, which is totally stupid and false.

Kill 'em All

A common fan phrase describing a tendency for talented writers (those in anime, of all people) to wipe out a large score of fictional characters.

It can be done to show the horrors of war, for the purpose of keeping the viewer ratings up, or to explore the theme of human nature. The Kill 'em All can be done in a variety of styles:

- a systematic fashion with one-at-a-time i.e. 'Wolf's Rain',

- 3 thirds of the main characters i.e. 'Zeta Gundam',

- or more extremely, the entire cast of the series + all life in the universe + the fabric of the universe itself i.e. 'Space Runaway Ideon'

There's also the Bolivian Army ending, which usually features two survivors of an entire group fighting overwhelming odds. The story would then cut off without showing whether they died or not.

The heavyweight champion of this phrase is non-other than Yoshiyuki Tomino of Gundam, whose bouts of depression is sole reason for the slaughter of many heroes and villains in his mecha anime.
When Yoshiyuki Tomino smiles you know it's going to end in disaster. He's about to do a Kill 'Em All on the Federation and Zeon.

Kill 'Em All

By far the best Metallica album followed by Ride the Lightning and Master Of Puppets. Kill 'Em All thrashy, melodic, had blistering solos, and I just love everything about the album. Also, Hit The Lights is my favourite Metallica song and probably the best opening to an album in the history of music. It's full of raw energy. Dave Mustaine also wrote some of the riffs which is pretty telling because if you listen to Mechanix by Megadeth and The Four Horsemen side by side, then you can tell Dave wrote the riff.

Songs in order:

1. Hit The Lights
2. The Four Horsemen
3. Motorbreath
4. Jump In The Fire
5. Pulling Teeth (Anaesthesia)
6. Whiplash
7. Phantom Lord
8. No Remorse
9. Seek & Destroy
10. Metal Militia
Kill 'Em All is not only the best Metallica album, but the best album in music history. Not one bad song in it.

Surf Dracula Syndrome 

A phenomenon in film/television series, most notably streaming series, where the main premise is drawn out to such a point that it takes an entire season or more to get the parts of the series the audience is actually interested in seeing.

For example, if a series is titled "Surf Dracula," a majority of viewers would tune in expecting to see Dracula surfing by the first or second episode. However, the entire first season would instead be tedious padding and backstory before finally ending with Dracula surfing in the last five minutes of the season finale.
I watched "Smallville" on Netflix the other day. Dude, it was ten seasons of filler before he finally flew! Major Surf Dracula Syndrome!
