This album has destroyed thrash metal, and it shouldn't exist. This has madean amazing underground genre as metal into a mainstream shit. When I hear this, I get a headache. Check metal-archives.com to see one good review that explains why this is so bad for metal.



I read the review and I agree with most of it. Even though this album sounds alright, it is extremely overrated.



<<WTF?..."good review"???...it's written by some fuckin stupids who doesn;t know nothing about thrash...they should Go listen some Mozzart....they really suck.
Battery and Damge Inc....are so fuckin good thrash...speed and agresively.
But Welcome Home(Sanitarium) is my favorite...i saw it many times played live...I just luv that song...specialy when it's played live.>>

This was probably the last great album that Metallica made before going all to suck. I shall reiterate a quote I made long ago that Metallica died when Cliff Burton died. "...And Justice For All" was good and their black album is catchy and a fun listen once in a while, but after that, all of their albums from "Load" onward are equivalent to a skunk covered in dog shit.

maybe the old metallica died when cliff burton died...i say is not like that...Justice4all is still heavy...the true change cammed with black album...and it was a logikal and normaly change.Because when they started in '81 they were nothing more but just some kids...look at hetfield voide...sound like a 17 years old boy...They need that change and Load...Reload...garage....have some GREAT songs....so you don't like just FUCKK OFF

JUST MASTER OF PUPPETS
JUST CLIFF BURTON

don't you have any thing more to say?!?! you fool:lol:

JUST MASTER OF PUPPETS
JUST CLIFF BURTON

NO THERE IS NOTHING TO HIDE
THAT'S ALL

This Is a fucking awesome album....It's something brilliant and none can publish sth like this...It kills!!!!!!

When I was getting into metal I really worshipped this band. I dunno... This album just sounds so flat and bland to me these days. The only two songs that are still awesome are Disposable Heroes and Orion. There are loads of great riffs all over the album too but the songs plod on (and not in a good way) and get boring (perhaps partly down to the horrible production)...

No matter what metal-archives and its stupid reviewer say about this album, it's still one of the greatest album of all time... not only in metal but in music history. If it had only the guitar solo of Master of Puppets and the instrumental Orion, it would still maintain the same position!! How many hearts have been banging on its riffs and lyrics for more than 20 years!!
Whenever u have a great band or a great man, there'll always b people trying to stand out by calling them 'stupid' or 'average'. I heard sth like that about Isaac Newton and Nietzsche!!

one of the most painfull boring and broken and extremly overated album I ever heard.
I only heard half way trough it, before I begged the person at the radio to turn it off and to please switch to something else.
Metallica always sucked to me, but this album takes the cake it is almost as bad as St. Anger.

Tír na nog... you fucking belong in the sanatarium 'cuz with that opinion you must have some kind of long-term illness!

a bit more off-topicness, I knew you were weird when you said you left Arnhem Metal Meeting after Cruachan, but now I am 100% sure.

You can be sure this album is never gonna be forgotten. I'm feeling alive with each song. Metallica: Master of Metal.

for the sake of ontopicness: stop rating this album so high! it deserves to be at the bottom list not the top list
metallica are founders of one metal genre tough TRASH metal

You're going over the top a bit. At the time, Metallica came out with MOP, it sounded fresh. It had appeal to more mainstream metalheads, but on the other hand to people listening to more underground metal. It has something..that doesn't mean it is the best (thrash) metal album to date. You should give it more credit

I think this is one of the best thrash albums ever. Hell maybe even the best. The only album that really compares is Reign In Blood.

As much as I hate Megadeth, and that's a lot, I really don't think Peace Sells is that far behind MoP. Ride the Lightning is also just as good, even better in my view, unless it's the time signatures that do it for you here. And there's tons of [relatively] underground things that may kick the shit out of everything we've already mentioned... Morbid Saint - Spectrum of Death, Exodus - Bonded by Blood, Dark Angel - Darkness Descends, Wargasm - Why Play Around?, Kreator - Pleasure to Kill, Sodom - Agent Orange, early Metal Church, Heathen - Breaking the Silence, and I think you'll really like at least one of Forbidden's first two.

You are not alone my man.

Oh, and this is Thrash? What, just Battery, Damage, Inc. and some riffs of Disposable Heroes, and if THAT'S agressive to you, you know NOTHING abuot thrash.

Everything has been said.

well.. doesnt matter what it is.. the thing is that the riffs are good.. and the songs are enjoyable. I give this album an 8.9.
Best tracks: Battery and Master of Puppets and Disposable Heroes.

Great album. I don't know why it took me so long to get itno this album (Master of Puppets has been stuck in my head ever since zelda:four swords misadventures, very funny zelda spoof). Maybe it had to do with how thrash should be done and could thus never get into the how the riffs and drums played off each other. None the less, this album has great tracks from begining to end. I suppose my one wualm is the lenth of the songs. I like long songs like this since it makes the song more of an atmosphere more than just a snippet of music and ideas, but songs could have been cut by a minute or so. Riffs were also rather repetetive, but arn't as linear as most thrash tends to be. Overal a 9/10, maybe higher, i gotta get into this albujm a bit more.

i don't really think of this as 'best album ever!!!2e45y346' but i agree it's a nice album to thrash to, especially the first two songs and disposable heroes

the final cd released with Cliff the best bassist player in the world

I'm to lazy to find out if somebody else already posted it, but didn't the accident take place in sweden?
