Amazon.com essential recording
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

 MASTER OF NOTHING December 30, 2008
0 out of 3 found this review helpful
I'm not a metal head - but am diversified in my musical taste - Nothing Metallica has done can compare to the Sandman album. This one is ok but all you do is compare it to sandman - thats all i have to say
 Thank god for ST ANGER and DEATH MAGNEIC December 26, 2008

Why is this album highly praised? Was it because the movie OLD SCHOOL had it in the background? maybe so.Metallica sucks. The only decent albums they have are load and reload and their masterpiece ST anger. Their first 5 albums are really bad.
 It's Master of Puppets...buy it. November 25, 2008
Why buy it?
- so you can understand why Metallica received negative reviews about Load, ReLoad & St. Anger
- so you can hear the roots of Death Magnetic
- because of Kirk's relentless shredding
- James' pain forced out in Sanitarium, Heroes, Puppets, Battery...
- Cliff's last recording
- Lars at 100 mph vs. 70 today
- it's MASTER OF PUPPETS, arguably one of the greatest metal albums of all time.
"If you own it, you'll never be able to explain. If you don't, you'll never understand." - Eddie p.
Hard and powerfull October 22, 2008
Very much like most of the old 80's metallica's cd's Are good. I gave this cd a 5 star. Excellent bass all the way. Brutal vocals and machine gun gutiar sounds. Like battery the best. Other great songs on here like master of the puppets leper massiah. Trash at it's best.
Yep definently one of my tops!!! October 16, 2008
I love the metal in this album!!! I just gotta say that this is just one of the best Metallica albums ive ever listen to.
