Editorial Review: Amazon.co.uk Review: 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 institutionalised inmate and "Disposable Heroes" is the perspective of a soldier. --Genevieve Williams Customer Reviews

 Rating: - Don't Stop!!Whoever says this is not their best is wearing earplugs.... or something!!! You cannot ever want this to end!! It's brilliant from start to finish, and back again. Anything from these boys after this was downhill all the way! Not least because of the sad and tragic loss of the inimitable Clifford Lee Burton, lost to us all on the Damage Inc.tour. What ever you do put this on in memory of Cliff, clamp on your headphones, tight, turn it up to no.11, turn out the lights and let it happen!!!!! Rating:  - A close 2nd to their best album - but still one of the best Metal albums of all timeWidely thought of now as Metallica's masterpiece............but not by me. Still, this is a terrific album, furious, ferocious and chock full of the huge riffery, solos and downright Metal-ness that, by that point in time, people expected from the 4 piece. It has a sadness too though that this was Cliff Burton's last album before his untimely death. But for me there is a lingering problem with 'Master' - some of the songs are overlong! I know that sounds silly, but 'Leper Messiah' is the worst example, an overlong jam, with not a lot musically going on, apart from an 11th hour time change that is good, but too little too late. The other is 'Orion' This might offend people because it's been the 'signature' theme to the Metallica videos where ...

This is what really got Metallica noticed. Tracks: 'Battery': Awesome start to the album. This starts with a great piece of guitar work and then builds into one of Metallica's best known songs. A great riff and a track that is great to play live. 5/5 'Master of Puppets': One of my favourite Metallica tracks. Some may ay this is too long but I think it's just right. Awesome riff, awesome lyrics, and a very good solo part in the middle. Another great track to play live. This has to be played loud. 5/5 'The Thing That Should Not Be': Another awesome riff. No real chorus to this track but some of the best ... Read More: Rating: - Heroes of metal in the 80s! ! ! ! A Classic peice of Thrash Metal! ! ! !To put this album in words this album is the definition off Thrash/Metal. When people think of Heavy Metal, they just simply think of screaming vocals and plain simple noise. Which is obviously Bulls**t, as we know there is much much more to Thrash/Metal then noise, this album for example. It shows that Thrash Metal/Metal can be clever to lyrically and musically. This is the album that probably started most Nu - Metal bands like Slipknot, Disturbed and sadly Korn. Here are my thoughts on this one hell off an amazing album. 1. Battery - A fantastic intro, starts of acoustic then goes into a blasting thrash riff which is amazing, the whole song itself is excellent and one of Kirks best solos, this is only the beginning. 10/10 Read More: Rating: - It's true......that this is Metallica's greatest masterpiece. Personally I'd rate it just a little more that Ride The Lightning, due to its more momentuous moments, although they are both equally fantastic. Master Of Puppets at first scared me. It's dark, forboding and definitely evil. The lyrics to Battery, Welcome Home and The Thing That Should Not Be are incredibly sinister, yet the rest of the songs' lyrics display great meaning. Vocally, Hetfield matured on Puppets and refined his trademark growl! As for the musicianship, it is just phenomenal! Hetfield's rhythms are tight, powerful, punchy and quite simply perfect. Kirk's soloing is magnificent and he conjures some truly memorable licks (*queue the title track's solo*). Cliff's bass playing, notably on Orion ... Read More: |
