Album Description |
|
2008 reissue of the 1986 album, Master of Puppets by Metallica which was ranked eighth on the list of the biggest selling groups in history, and one of the most influential bands in music. Metallica proved its metal with this groundbreaking album and it was hailed as a masterpiece by critics far outside Heavy Metal's core audience. Master Of Puppets sold over half a million copies at its time of release without any major video/radio airplay, making it the band s first record to be certified Gold by the RIAA. It was the last album the band recorded with bass player Cliff Burton before his death later that year. |

Americancivilwar.com essential recording |
|
One of the defining albums of thrash metal, Master of Puppets is arguably Metallica's best album (as well as their last with bassist Cliff Burton). Focusing on the concept of power and abuses thereof, this is a collection of complex, intelligent music, played at about a hundred miles an hour. Not that these are short songs; this eight-song album clocks in at over an hour, which makes it all the more impressive that not one moment on this recording is boring. In tackling various approaches to their subject, Metallica is insightful lyrically as well as musically: "Welcome Home (Sanitarium)" is from the point of view of an institutionalized inmate and "Disposable Heroes" is the perspective of a soldier. If all you've heard of Metallica is what's been on the radio recently, check this one out. You're in for a surprise. --Genevieve Williams |

Hard and powerfull |
|
Very much like most of the old 80's metallica's cd's Are good. I gave this cd a 5 star. Excellent bass all the way. Brutal vocals and machine gun gutiar sounds. Like battery the best. Other great songs on here like master of the puppets leper massiah. Trash at it's best. |

Greatest Heavy Metal Album Of All Time |
|
This is easily the best album Metallica has ever come out with and will ever come out with. There is not one bad song on this album. From Battery to Damage Inc., it is headbanging heaven. If you do not have the album, buy it. Buy it now. Thank me later. |

Amazing Album!!!!! |
|
This is the album that I first listened to, and I have to say that all eight songs are classic, and worth the listen of anybody. from he thrashing supersonic riffs of Battery, to the soft intro of Welcome Home (Sanitarium), to the heavy riffs of The Thing That Should Not Be, this album is the BEST when it comes to Heavy Metal. You must get this album!!!!! |

Metallica's magnum opus |
Simply put, this is metal at its finest by arguably the greatest metal band in their heyday.
Besides playing host to the ubiquitous "Battery" and the titular track "Master of Puppets," the album contains "Sanitarium" and "The Thing That Should Not Be," two other great tracks. The rest of the album is solid, including the instrumental track "Orion."
This album is great but not for the faint of heart; you have been warned. |
