Leper messiah deserves some love tbh :p

yeah, wow. can't believe it's on the last spot. those basslines are awesome.

I'm going with disposable heroes, simply for the power and sheer awesomeness of the melody line.

Its master of puppets cause it has all the heavy fast and thrash metal elements! plus amazing solo

Love them all but Damage inc. is defenitely my favourite !

I've always felt Leper Messiah has been overlooked on Master of Puppets. Also, Damage Inc. has always held a soft spot for me. Another interesting Metallica-related question might be which acoustic album intro is better: Battery on MoP or Fight Fire With Fire on RtL?

Welcome Home (Sanitarium) all the way for me.

The Thing That Should Not Be got my vote. It's one of my favourite Metallica songs hands down, although it's not instantly accessible and initially maybe doesn't stand out, it totally stands the test of time. It has quite an ominous feel, and is fairly slow and heavy, and lyrically it's clearly inspired by H.P. Lovecraft who's one of my favourite authors (although to be fair I didn't start reading Lovecraft until years after I first heard this album!)

I cannot say my favourite, but i can say my less favourite: Welcome Home, over rated song....

My preferences:
1. Master Of Puppets
2. Orion (one of my favourite instrumentals)
3. Disposable Heroes
4. Battery
5. Welcome Home (Sanitarium)
6. Damage Inc.
6. Leper Messiah (equally as good as Damage Inc.)
7. The Thing That Should Not Be (on this album)

"Face the thing that should not be"

Leper Messiah. I don't know. I just love it.

Fucking Battery!!!

But serious all songs on this album, kick arse

All of them..but choosed Master of Puppets

I think it is "Orion", a great instrumetal metal song.

In order, it would be

Master of Puppets- Those opening riffs are just legendary, Hetfield'sn solo during the clean part, while not technical, is very enjoyable, and that chorus just makes you wanna sing and bang your head like few other songs can manage
Dissposable Heros
Battery
Damage Inc.-These four songs are all fine and dandy, although if damage inc. didn't have that boring intro it would go above Battery

Orion
Sanitarium
TTTSNB
Leper Messiah- Orion and Sanitarium are decent, albeit nothing special, TTTSNB is a boring attempt at doom, and Leper Messiah is possibly the worst song in Metallica's early years.

All in all a very ovverated album though. The title track is the only song here worthy of legendary status. Battery and Damage Inc. thrash along fine enough, but so do a thousand other thrashers from the 80's. Sanitarium pales in comparison to Fade to Black and One, and Orion drags on for far to long. Damage Inc. is a fine song, but still nothing legendary.

Damage Inc. or The Thing That Should Not Be are my personal favorites. The title track gets too damn repetitive and it's so goddamn overplayed.

After seeing them live I would have to say the Thing that should not be with orion a close second

That's hard to choose. I love every song on this album. I had to go with Damage Inc. though. I love how its fast and aggressive and then James Hetfield just whispers "damage incorporated."

Mmm like the whole album it's hard to choose but I'm going with: Welcome home (Sanitarium)

Hard to choose,whole album is great but my favorites are Battery and Master Of Puppets.

I practically worship "Welcome Home (Sanitatium)", so you can probably guess which one I went for.

That said, the first two tracks on the album ("Battery" and "Master of Puppets") and "Orion" are also frequently listened to. For some reason, I never really liked the other four enough to consider it their greatest album (although, admittedly, I haven't listened to them much: I've always ran straight to those four tracks when I wanted to listen to the album and only play the whole album when bored late at night).

I agree, its probably my favorite song on this album besides Damage Inc.

MoP. Never liked this album though

Damage inc. So much power and the lyrics are amazing!

My vote is "Master", in spite "Orion" that could be my favourite metal instrumental. "Leper Messiah" is also a great one for me and "Disposable heroes" and "Sanitarium". I remember that when I first listen this album in my fifteens I preferred the speedy ones "Battery" and "Damage inc" above all and some time later taste changed -also in Ride the lightning with "Trapped" and "Fight fire"- and I really enjoy better Metallica middle tempos than their speedy ones. However, as from "Load" I can't stand them any longer even they try to change back lately -I don't like "Rock"-

Leper messiah an the thing that should not be are the best on this album, not sure what everyone has against them :/

A true classic of metal and music is Puppets... as for my favorite song, the title song is very hard to go past.

It's been a while since i've listened to this album, having lost interest in Metallica, but I remember loving the song "Welcome Home (Sanitarium)" along with "Leper Messiah" and "Damage Inc."

For me:

1. Leper Messiah
2. Disposable Heroes
3. Orion
4. Master Of Puppets
5. Damage Inc.
6. The Thing That Shold Not Be
7. Welcome Home (Sanitarium)
8. Battery
