  • Worthwhile Picture Disk

    5 out of 5 stars
    xfnohg4 January 2026United States🇺🇸

    I'm not usually one to go for picture disks, but this MFN27P seems pretty decent. The lows are there and there's hardly any surface noise. You might need to boost the gain a bit, just keep an eye on the VU meter. I'd say it's worth adding to your collection.

  • Quiet Pressing, Happy Customer

    5 out of 5 stars
    spagh6030 December 2025United States🇺🇸

    This is a great & quiet pressing. No pops, no scratches on my version. Beautiful color. Very happy.

  • Audio Quality Terrible

    3 out of 5 stars
    k-lryuh29 December 2025United States🇺🇸

    I'm all in for this, except the audio quality is terrible.

  • Vibrant Ride the Lightning Vinyl

    5 out of 5 stars
    Jexaos364617 December 2025United States🇺🇸

    The vibrant blue electric vinyl truly enhances the experience of the ride the lightning record. All in all, it's an incredible vinyl and album

  • Metallica Remaster Sounds Excellent

    5 out of 5 stars
    yennjcamvec15 December 2025United States🇺🇸

    This remastered version was pressed at Metallica's own plant and it sounds fantastic. There's hardly any surface noise and the record is completely flat. I turned up the volume and enjoyed it without any annoying pops or clicks. It comes in a poly-lined sleeve, which honestly, should be the norm for all new records. The sound quality is excellent, just what I'd expect from an 80s Metallica album. I personally prefer my metal to hit hard with the bass, but this one doesn't quite do that. Then again, I haven't found many from this era that do, so it's not a knock against this record.
