You know I will be honest with you guys and say that, 'Metallica' is my favorite band... I mean the way the music is arranged... James Hettfield, Lars Ulrich, Kirk Hammett (and later Robert Trujillo), are just freaking geniuses... The story in their music more often then not is fun... And well I will be honest and say that they work so well together that I have hardly seen it in any other band!

And one of their first albums, 'Metal Up Your Ass'... Later known as, 'Kill 'em All', is pretty spectacular album! I hate to say it, but this album is not in my opinion their best... But for me it definitely rates amongst the top... And I have to admit that the song, 'Seek And Destroy'... Although not my favorite on this album, is only seconded by the fact that I think, 'Metal Militia' may not be far off...

Regardless though, this song is fun... Written during the height of the, 'Cold War' era... I think there are probably some strong overtones about the cold war... (I found that in the 80s there was definitely more then a few songs that were inspired by the, 'Cold War'...)

Never the less, the other reason I like this song is the instrumentals... The beats in this song are an awful lot of fun...

Well the truth is, is this is not one of Metallica's better songs, it still is pretty good, and if you get a chance to give it a try, you might find that you like it!
