Master Of Puppets was the first classic album that Metallica produced and unfortunately the last with the late Cliff Burton. It opens with a deceptive gentle acoustic intro to the stomping track, Battery. Touches like that throughout the album show that even at this stage Metallica was more than just a thrash band (A tag that upset drummer Lars Ulrich at the time). The skill that went into the arrangement on the title track is breathtaking while the intros to The Thing That Should Not Be and Welcome Home (Sanitarium) are bone chilling in execution. Disposable Heroes is an attack on sending young men out to die, not forgetting that the cold war was in full swing at the time this album was written. Orion is an epic instrumental track that shows Metallica have always had a gift for writing good tunes. Overall a must have album for fans of metal.

Advantages: The album shows Metallica at its peak as a band Disadvantages: Only 8 tracks, considered a short album by many, Sound quality could be better.
Advantages: Flawless Heavy Metal record, technically stunning time signature shifts with occasional classical structuring Disadvantages: 20 year old production job, could do with a re-mastering
