"I recently purchased a Pro-Ject Debut Carbon DC turntable from you, and I am really impressed with the level of detail and customer service I’ve received so far. The instruction folder is a great touch, and your excellent site gave me tons of info and insight into buying and setting up the turntable. Bravo!" - P. Cuffari
"Wow. I just got the turntable. It is amazing. I love the bags, I love the fact that I got it literally less than 24 hours after ordering, I love the cartoon easy set up pics, the stickers, record cleaner brush, and the sound is great for the money. SOOO Happy!! Thanks guys and gals--you just created a customer for life."- R. Montgomery
"I love the Turntable Lab, great service & great products. There's no other store or site I'd rather buy my gear from. I'll sure keep on purchasing my equipment from TTL."- D. Martinez
"It's always nice to feel like you're appreciated, and you guys have done a great job with that."- R. Abeel
"Turntable lab constantly deliver the best and most current selection of modern music on all formats. It's my first stop for vinyl house and disco music. The reviews are accurate and I can trust the buyers to source quality product. Customer service is second to none and Bret has been nothing short of outstanding in every interaction we've ever had. Proud to be a Labhead." - G. Laurie
"First off I just want to thank you and your team for everything you do! The equipment and products you sell are awesome and exactly what artists like me need. I remember when I first discovered Turntable Lab by searching online for DJ equipment. I was looking all over for different equipment that I needed and when I found TTL I was relieved to find out that you guys basically had everything I was looking for." - C. Arroyo
"My Rane mixer arrived safely yesterday. I just wanted to say thanks to you and your team for your speedy response to my initial enquiry and efficient delivery. Great price and great service, I'll definitely be telling my friends about it." - A. McConnell (Marrickville, Australia)

If Kill 'Em All, in all it's headbanger adoring, fanboy glory, was the birth of thrash, Ride the Lightning is its bar-mitzvah. Gone are the feelgood anthems to headbanging, drag racing, and legions of denim clad brothers-in-arms and in their place sit songs about nuclear war, the death penalty, suicide, drug addiction, and the doomsday cult monsters. Straight off the bat the album is heavier, faster, darker, and harder than Kill 'Em All. As a sophomore effort it cranked up the intensity a huge notch and let fans know that the "Four Horsemen" weren't just a bunch of heshed out drunks but skilled and socially aware musicians with something to say. All bullshit aside, this album kicks ass. Opening slow on "Fight Fire" and then blasting into a thrashed out rant on mutually destruction and execution, the first two tracks are a banger's (as well as a sampler if you're good enough...) wet dream. On top of the fact that out of 8 songs anybody off the street, metalhead or not, can recognize at least 3/4ths of the album by sound if not name should say a lot. Definitely listen to the first side as a whole for the full effect but if you're looking for the real highlights "Fade to Black" is the first (and one of the only) respectable thrash ballads while "For Whom The Bell Tolls" is the creepiest intro since Black Sabbath / Black Sabbath. On side two "Creeping Death," especially the breakdown will blow your speakers with its might and the closer gives that last little hint of the Mustaine influence with some sweet Cliff Burton highlights. Comes in the original picture sleeve. This shit's real, no joke. Highly recommended.
