Recording type: Studio
Recording mode: Stereo
SPAR Code: AAD
Album notes
MASTER OF PUPPETS was Metallica's last album with bass player Cliff Burton. Burton was killed in a traffic accident. He was replaced by Jason Newsted.
Metallica: James Hetfield (vocals, guitar); Kirk Hammett (guitar); Cliff Burton (bass); Lars Ulrich (drums).
Recorded at Sweet Silence Studios, Copenhagen, Denmark from September through December, 1985.
Metallica's irresistible rise to the top continued with this enigmatic 1986 album. A constant touring unit by this point, their combination of light and dark and their deft staccato delivery, especially on the title track, came brusquely through. Their ever-lengthening arrangements (three songs came in at over eight minutes), bolstered by the precise snap of Hetfield's vocals, testified to their undeniable power. The striding "Battery," the darkly lit "Welcome Home (Sanitarium)," as well as the complex instrumental, "Orion," all gave powerful testament to their ever-developing skill and vision.

From the moment I heard this album I was in love. From the opening acoustics of Battery to the heart thumping drums of Damage Inc. this is the album that epitomizes my youth. Nothing more needs to be said.

Metal MagicUnbelievable metal album, the great Cliff Burton keeping perfect time on bass. After he departed and joined the choir invisible, the boys in Metallica were never the same. Their last few albums have been practically unlistenable, dreadful, middle of the road metal, no balls whatsoever. "Master of Puppets" was their masterpiece and any fan of screaming guitars and angst-ridden lyrics considers this disk indispensable.

One of the best by Metallica. I think this was one of the last time they had some reallllly good instrumentals. "orion" is one of the best. Back when I started getting into Metallica #5, #6 and #8 had to grow on me, but once I was use to their music and their style, this CD turned into my 2nd fav.

THE GREATEST HEAVY ALBUM OF ALL TIME!Review created: 02/10/08
by:
This is their masterpiece and it is so under any terms. They truly dropped the hammer on this one. It is the greatest heavy Metal album of all time. It's 20 years old and it still rings as fresh today as the day it was released. The title track is a composition, not a song. It displays the music ability that they have and have never been given due credit for. The song writing is tight and controlled and the songs are all based on real and serious topics. This is not your grandmothers metal.....

Master Of Puppets - MetallicaReview created: 06/15/07

I was first introduced to Metallica through the “Black” album and I fell in love with the band then! I had to, from that point, go back and buy all their previous records. While Master Of Puppets didn’t reach the commercial success of the “Black Album” this is Metallica’s finest work! It begins and ends with 2 songs of metal mayhem (Battery & Damage Inc.). The instrumental “Orion” kicks butt along with “Welcome Home” & “Master of Puppets”.
If you’re into heavy metal this is a classic!

If you like heavy metal and you don't have this album then you truly don't like heavy metal. If you look up heavy metal in the dictionary you will find this cd as an example. This is Metallica's best. You have to have this cd if you do not have it. Just go to the purchase button and push it. Don't even think about or debate it. When this cd comes in the mail you will be a TRUE HEAVY METAL MANIAC.!

One excellent cd! Master of Puppets was Metallica's last album with bass player Cliff Burton. Burton was an excellent Bass player. If you are a fan of Metallica, you should own this album!

Master Of Puppets, best Metallica album2 of 4 people found this review helpful.
Everything on there is good. The songs are great, the lyrics are amazing, Orion is great, the only bad thing is there is only 8 tracks! Its a definate 5/5, starting with one of their best songs, Battery, and ending with their most influential song to date: Damage, Inc.
Battery - 10/10 - Amazing song, from beginning to end. Lyrics are perfect.
Master Of Puppets - 10/10. Really good beat and lyrical song. Drugs are bad is the theme, which is a great theme.
The Thing That Should Not Be - 9/10 - Great song, great mood, awesome guitar and drum coordination.
Welcome Home (Sanitarium) - 9/10 - A great calming song that you could play anytime.
Disposable Heroes - 8/10 - Really heavy metal, great if you like war games or third person shooters.
Leper Messiah - 9/10 - Perfect tempo and pace, all about religion and how people are sucked into paying money, touches my heart personally.
Orion - 9/10 - Greatest metallica instrumental next to Call Of The Ktulu.
Damage, Inc. - 11/10 - This song is amazing, the lyrics, the solos, everything. The only thing wrong with this song is that it ends in 5 minutes.
If you have to get ANY metallica CD, this is the one to get.
