Advantages: Very well prouduced with some fantastic songs.

Disadvantages: I wish there was more than 8 tracks.

Master of Puppets by Metallica is in my opinion the best album that they have released. I bought this album for £10 from Virgin and thought it was a resonable price but now you can get it for £6 from Amazon which really is a very good deal. The album contains just 8 tracks but you must not forget that these songs are 5 minutes and longer so I felt it was justifiably so. The album was released in March 1986 and has now become 6x Platinum, proving its success and popularity!

The album itself is very much heavy metal and if you have not heard of Metallica before they are a very famous heavy metal band. Within the album there are some great hits such as "Battery" which has a great intro with the acoustic guitar and then it becommes progressivly heavier which is what I like about it. "Master of puppets" which gives its name to the album is classed as one of Metallica's best and it is no supprise. The guitar riffs in this song really are outstanding and the guitar solo's throughout will keep you well entertained thoughout. I cannot tell you how good this song is if you havn't heard it.

I really like "Welcome home (Sanitarium)" because it seems to have a different more acoustic style to it with a fantastic chorus, the guitar solo is truly umbelivable! All of these songs are quite similar in style and have Metallica's signature sound. There is also many other great things about the other albums within the album. I really think this is a well produced album and despite being short containing just 8 tracks they are all of a very high quality and you can really hear that a lot of effort has been put into it. the album is diverse in terms of melodies but the style of music is very similar. "Orion" for example, has a fantastic intro with a very heavy guiatr lead played throughout.

If you are a fan of heavy metal music I would really recommend this album because it really is one of the best albums I have ever bought. Even if you are not a heavy metal fan at heart I would recommend trying it because Metallica to produce some maginificent songs as shown in this album. I hope this was useful and thank you vey much for reading!

Summary: A brilliant album by Metallica that I really would recommend!
