Metallica - Master of Puppets

MASTER OF PUPPETS was the third studio album released by the band after "Kill 'em All" and "Ride the Lightning"."MASTER OF PUPPETS" features some of the heaviest and innovative metal the band produced. From the opening riff that leads into the first song "Battery" to the finale of doom laden thrash on "Damage Inc.", the album retains throughout a deep and unique power that has made it a somewhat timeless gem among fans of the band's earlier days.
The newer generation of "Load" fans may ask in what came after 1992, when it was obvious the bands sound and vision was taking a turn away from the moody, technically superb masterpieces that came before.
Here about MASTER OF PUPPETS
"Battery": great acoustic intro leading into a maniacal barrage of Hetfield's harsh vocals and Ulrich's pounding drums that literally batter their way through your ears.-"Master of Puppets": a classic in the truest sense of the word. Like "Battery," this song is fast, hard, and it beckons with energy the question of who is truly the puppet and who is the puppeteer.-"The Thing that Should Not Be": again, a great acoustic intro that leads into a hardcore thrash rhythm -"Welcome Home (Sanitarium)": the lyrics are the real gem here, telling the story of a mental patient from inside the patient's mind. The music is great, but the lyrics can haunt you if you're not careful.-"Disposable Heroes": while I may like their later song "One" better in terms of the lyrical device of the soldier's point of view, I still give this one credit since it came first, and let's face it...everything on this album kicks serious parse, including this one.-"Leper Messiah" and"Orion": great instrumental, with a militaristic march that echoes the grandeur of Wagner, but without being oppressive. This is something for the Metal Militia to use as a war cry."Damage Inc.": while my favorites song on this album is "Fade to Black" in its progression of intensity. It starts with haunting melodies, turning up the crunch for the chorus, then kicks into high gear with a weighty, fast riff and a glistening lead that carries the song to its vengeful apogee. Hetfield isn't quite a master lyricist.
