Genre: HEAVY METAL
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
Customer Reviews
Average Rating: 
Rating:  - 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.
Rating: - 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!!!!!
Rating: - 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.
Rating: - "Listen, dammit, we will win!"
Despite my decidedly non-metal oriented tastes, I'm a pretty big fan of Metallica. Especially this album, a pure masterpiece, Metallica's greatest album ever. Ride the Lightning is also an excellent album, but I'm not a big fan of "Escape." By contrast, I can think of NOTHING to complain about here. Wall-to-wall, ceiling-to-floor, every song is very close to perfect.
Choosing highlights on this album is hard, but one that especially stands out to me is "Welcome Home (Sanitarium)." I've always ... Read More
Rating: - Classic Thrash Metal Album
True classic thrash metal album and one of Metallica's best albums too date. Every song on here is from 5-9 minutes long each with heavy guitar pounding beats and heavy stellar beats that make this CD a must have. Some key tracks on here are, battery, master of puppets, damage inc, and the thing that should not be. I love all the songs on here and its great album too listen too if your bored one day pull this cd out or buy it and than blast it. Great Metallica album one of the best Metallica albums there ...
