Advantages: Great for die hard collectors Disadvantages: Unlikely to be played very often
, in saying that the EMO generation could well be taken with the dark nature of this album.
Some of the tracks did help define the band and transformed the band onto the centre stage. Of particular note is 'Dogs and Everywhere' and 'Little Girl (With Blue Eyes)' which demonstrated the ability of the band to grap the attention and to add a complex arrangement of sounds.
To be entirely honest, this album is the weakest that Pulp have produced and I would suggest that most of the tracks would be considered 'b' side records. If you are about to discover Pulp then leave this well alone and go for the accomplished 'Freaks' album. This album will appeal to true Pulp enthusiasts who want to complete a collection. However, it even then is likely to collect dust on the CD rack. Even during a deep depression, 'Masters of the Universe' is ...
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
Time for my ultimate review of what I feel is the finest metal record of all time, 'Master of Puppets' by the masters themselves, 'Metallica'.

So I sought after their older material beginning with 'Master of Puppet's'. Which brings me to today, where I have quite a collection of 'Metallica's' music having trawled CD fairs for the rarities and odds and sods to build that collection ...
Advantages: Very deep lyrics Disadvantages: Last album with Cliff Burton
The album Master of Puppets is the third studio album by America?s highest selling Metal band. It was released March 3rd 1986 and has since sold over 6 million copies in the USA alone. It is also the last album to be recorded with bassist Cliff Burton before a fatal bus accident while touring for the album.
The album is considered one of the greatest thrash metal albums of all time and is considered a classic by critics and the band alike. The songs mainly focus on losing control and the intensity of the riffs really shows this.
