Metallica - Master Of Puppets review
| Band: | Metallica |
| Album: | Master Of Puppets |
| Style: | Bay Area thrash metal |
| Release date: | February 1986 |
01. Battery
02. Master Of Puppets
03. The Thing That Should Not Be
04. Welcome Home (Sanitarium)
05. Disposable Heroes
06. Leper Messiah
07. Orion
08. Damage, Inc.
A classic between classics and the top of Metallica like a band. The album that made history, the cd of the cds, the best album of the best band. The album that any person who wants to know what is that world called Metal music needs to have, and listen to.
From the intro of "Battery" to the last guitar riff of "Damage Inc." the cd is just perfect, incredible and all the adjectives you want. In this album Metallica composed the song of songs: "Master of Puppets", astonishing. 8 minutes 38 seconds of pure Metal. The virtuosity on composing of Metallica appears clearly in that song. In Master of Puppets [maybe influenced by Black Sabbath] some songs are really dark and paranoid like "The Thing that should not Be". A ballad is also included, which is called "Welcome Home [Sanitarium]" and Metallica still includes in this album an instrumental track: "Orion" [with an intense and melodically brute bass line, perfectly played and composed by bass-God Cliff Burton]
On balance the cd [as you can see my favorite one] is really good, I will recommend this album to all people, especially to people who want to start listening to Metal, because this has been very important to the evolution of music, this is one kind of Led Zeppelin 4th album , Iron Maiden's: Number of the Beast. Just indispensable.
Metallica was in the top when in a terrible accident Cliff died. The band was touring in Denmark, when suddenly at night the Tour-Bus slide in an ice badge, the day was : September 27th of 1986.
Thank you for your beautiful music

I know I am in the minority here, but I don't care. Coffee is not as bad for you as everyone says it is, ten million Coldplay fans are wrong and Master Of Puppets is not Metallica's best album. This album is considered to be a classic and it is a great effort, but it is no Ride The Lightning. Master Of Puppets may have become more popular than Metallica's first two albums and it may be every critic's darling but that alone does not make it a better album or the greatest thrash record of all time. What matters is the music itself and therein lies my problem with considering this album a mind blowing masterpiece, which it is not. Read more ›› |

I used to think that this was the greatest thrash album ever... I dont think that anymore, Ride the Lightning I think is way better. Not to say this is a bad album, cuz its not.

Id have to say this, Ride The Lightning, and Rust In Peace by Megadeth are some of the BEST Thrash Albums of all time, No doubt!

Yea, yea, yea...of course it's the best album ever  Well seriously, it's a very good staff, although I'm not the Metallica's fan, but for me Ride The Lightning takes the top in their discography.

One of my favorites albums of all times! i love this album, all the songs are in a perfect balance, you can push play to Battery and you will never want to press stop button, the album takes you to where it wants. Is a big sensation to listen at this masterpiece. Thanks Metallica for this album!

CAN SOMEONE PLEASE TELL ME WHAT THE HELL IS SO SPECIAL ABOUT THIS CD THAT MAKES EVERYONE CALL IT "THE BEST METAL ALBUM EVER?" Btw, one could call the master of puppets album "pop-metal", since it has popular appeal in the metal-genre.
