Master Of Puppets vs Rust In Peace
Original post
Posted by K✞ulu, 13.09.2008 - 23:40
Well, both albums are classics and maybe even flawless masterpieces. One has an ingenious "Master Of Puppets," the other a decent match of "Holy Wars." One has a classic of an instrumental, the other has the number, quality, and beauty of solos that one other album I have ever heard has. Well, there is kind of a tie situation here, but... right now I feel like voting for Rust In Peace; I do think it's better, and so be it. My vote goes to Rust In Peace.
This is a pretty light poll, so no massive discussions are needed as this is a rather subjective matter. If you have something to say though, please do, e.g. favorite moments, solos, lyrics, riffs or maybe drawbacks if you find any... I just want to see who will win in such a battle.
But please, I freaking beg you on my knees, don't post anything like "Megadeth rules" or "Metallica suxx." And don't vote for a particular album just because one of these bands is your favorite.

This is not a fair contest in my opinon. Cause 1986 was the year of the big 4 greatest albums I would compare Peace Sells... with MOP...and I would say Peace Sells is better.

Written by Aristarchos on 20.12.2011 at 21:28 megadave was in metallica. megadave got kicked out of metallica. metallica sold out ... megadeth sold out. metallica was better at selling out than megadeth was. megadeth went back to producing boring versions of the edgy thrash they used to. metallica kept selling millions of units. ergo metallica is hated in retrospect and people find reasons to say nice things about fucking Risk simply because it's not metallica. rust in peace is good enough, but lacks the balls of dave's earlier work... ;it was Master without a second thought for me. that album was muy importante then and still sounds great now, even after music has continued in harsher directions that have left both Megadeth and Metallica's tunes stuff you now hear on classic rock stations.

Musically, I think that Rust In Peace wins because of the gigantic amount of skill, musicianship and technicality put into it.

Written by Oaken on 05.02.2012 at 23:49 I actually think Dave's vocals are nowhere near as good as James' vocals and personally speaking I have never enjoyed a full Megadeth album, Yeah sure Megadeth are good musicians n all but they are incredibly boring to my ears.

Written by @gent_-_orange on 05.02.2012 at 23:54 It's true that James puts more emotion, but I find Dave's vocals, especially on Tornado Of Souls, superior.

Saw this and played the albums back to back with Master Of Puppets starting, both in order and in preference. Did the numbers by the what I hated by each band: Metallica -Overlong songs (i don't listen to metal to fall asleep) -A couple fillers -Annoying drums -only 3 songs I would keep on my zune MegaDeth -that thing at 2:15 of holy wars, totally kills the song for me -hate the vocals more than i hate hetfield's vocals -a couple songs i could do without -the bass seems more prominent the further you go in the album gotta go with Rust In Peace on this one

RIP easily. Master of Puppets is good, but it didn't blow me away the first time like Rust in Peace did. I think Ride the Lightning or AJFA would be a better match against RIP. MOP song ratings (imo): Great: Battery, Master of Puppets, Sanitarium, Damage Inc [4] Good: Orion, Leper Messiah, Disposable Heroes [3] Boring: The Thing That Should Not Be [1] RIP song ratings (imo): Great: Holy Wars, Hangar 18, Five Magics, Lucretia, Dawn Patrol, Tornado of Souls [6] Good: Take No Prisoners, Rust in Peace Polaris, Poison Was The Cure [3]

I vote for Master of Puppets. Great production, aggressive vocals, tight songwriting, and epic songs like the title track and Orion that take advantage of atmosphere throughout their duration.

Written by Guest on 19.01.2012 at 23:36 why ''Hell, I'd even say better vocals'' Don't be shy, They're clearly better, its not the voice itself that matters for me and for most, really its the emotion and the performance given. The voice itself usually comes second especially in Thrash Metal.

Master of Puppets. Both are great, but if it wasn't for MoP I wouldn't be into metal nowadays.

Both albums are somewhat overrated when compared to the bands' earlier works imo, but I find myself listening to Rust quite often, where as I almost never listen to Master Of Puppets, which is almost like a clone of the superior Ride The Lightning and thus actually pretty boring. Whenever I am in the mood for classic Metallica, the first two albums are the ones I spin.

Written by dmiller458 on 31.07.2017 at 05:46 I heard MoP the first day it came out and already thought it was a weak carbon copy of RtL. Btw I still think so to this day and agw.

Written by Marcel Hubregtse on 31.07.2017 at 06:19 i arrived a little later to the party - '89. agree it's a carbon copy of Ride the Lightning, only with tracks 7 and 8 switching places... but to me it's the Bolt Thrower effect, fine tuning a formula. MOP remains my favorite Metallica album. While MOP took a successful blueprint and copied it, tweaking it a little bit, RIP still feels like a technically superior version of prior MegadavE albums, but missing the balls and aggression. Fast, but not so furious. still fail to see why it RIP holds the charm it does when compared against their back catalog, and still think the first 5 albums from each band should be compared against one another in chronological order as they're all Metallica doing something and Megadave following suit. probably repeating myself, but, fuck it, this post has been alive for a decade now.
