Master of Puppets is, in my opinion, not quite as good as The Black Album (Metallica's self-titled album), but it's still an absolute classic of the genre, and certainly one of the best metal albums ever written. In many ways the clout they established from this album allowed them to graduate to greater pastures, such as the aforementioned Black ...  Read the complete review

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 ...  Read the complete review

Metallica's 3rd studio album released in 1986 1. Battery - Epic fast paced song to really kick off the album. Quiter intro but develops into a gallopy verse that could start a mosh pit anywhere. 2. Master Of Puppets - Arguably the best metal song of all time. 8 minutes of pure heaven. Everything is great about this song. 3. The ...  Read the complete review

-INTRODUCTION- There are many great metal bands out there. Iron Maiden, Black Sabbath, Slayer, Judas Priest, Trivium, Mastodon... but not one of them has made a larger impact on the metal scene than Metallica. And "Master of Puppets" is the album that proves all of this. From "Battery" to "Damage, Inc.", every ...  Read the complete review

Master of Puppets is a landmark metal album, and not one that's particularly accessible to the general public. Their 1991 hit "Metallica," also known as the Black Album, managed to reach this more accessible level leading to its number one spot and successful single releases, while their later albums had their success largely based on ...  Read the complete review

Ask any long-haired headbanging American what he was listening to in 1986, and Metallica would be the response; unless he failed to relate the two or just thumped you because you were asking questions. Still going strong today, Metallica are often thought to have reached their musical peak with "Puppets" and it's very easy to see ...  Read the complete review

This Album is possibly the best collection of musical masterpieces the world has ever seen!!

First of all let me tell you that this is an album I hold very close to my heart. Metallica (and Megadeth) were exceptions in the eighties. The decade of hair spray and make-up metal was fake... Kinda like all this nu-metal stuff.. And then I heard Battery on my local radio one day, and there was hope. Metallica have been around for two ...  Read the complete review

Well, as my profile says, i am an avid metallicite, and i have to say, of all the 4 albums i have of theirs, S&M, Black Album, Reload, Master of Puppets, this is very possibly my favourite, even above the highly acclaimed Black Album. This album was the last that the original Metallica bassist Cliff Burton did before he sadly passed away ...  Read the complete review

What to expect As all early Metallica, the songs combine the adrenaline-rush of speed metal, hard hitting guitars, and great lyrics. The difference with "MOP" is seen in the band's progression lyrically and structurally. James began layering more guitars, to create a darker, moodier feel. Some of Kirk's solos have multiple ...  Read the complete review

Okay, don't say I didn't warn you but, do NOT listen to this CD if you're depressed. I learned the hard way. Sanitarium alone will throw you against a wall, panting, wondering how in the hell Metallica got inside your head and read every last thought. Other than that, if you are a loyal Metallica fan, this CD is a MUST HAVE. Hard core ...  Read the complete review

From the moment opener Battery kicks in, you know this is a special album! It has it all! Meaty riffs, amazingly fast solo's all put together with lars' pulsating drum beat and James' sneering vocals. This album is close on perfect! Master of Puppets is a blinder of a title track, an eight minute epic of all proportions! ...  Read the complete review
