My opinion about Kirk´s solos are:

Kill Em All-fast and furious, pretty same stuff whole the time and lots of penta scale (almost the only one that he uses on the entire album). But he only had like 2 weeks to come up with all stuff so he really didn´t have time to explore. I like those solos but some more variety wouldn´t hurt.

Ride The Lightning-It´s pretty obvius here that Kirk had lot more time to work on solos. Still lots of penta scales but the melt in the song much better than Kill Em All solos. Ride, Fade, Creep and Ktulu are great solos.

Master Of Puppets-My opinion Kirk´s finest work pretty much thanx to Sanitarium (Slash wouldn´t do it much better him self), Orion all three, Damage Inc (tasty) and the greatest Metallica/Kirk solo ever Disposable Heroes. Man that one really kicks a$$ especially during the half time feel.

...And Justice For All-Nice technique on this ones. Kirk admits him self that he overdid a couple solos. Great sound btw. One solos are classics. There´s even some of Kirks hardest solos like Dyers Eve and Shortest Straw.

Black Album-hello wah-wah. Almost evry solo is played with wah. Sandman is a classic one, Roam solo is a little bit odd to hear from Kirk (what´s happend to all those penta licks), Struggle Within is a cool solo (nice pedal notes) and great feelin´ on Unforgiven (again, Slash wouldn´t do it better)

Rest Of Albums-No comment.
