About this album

PT. Universal Music Indonesia (2010) Released: 1 Jan 2010 10 tracks (66:47)
Master of Puppets is the third studio album by American heavy metal band Metallica. The album was recorded in 1985 and released by Elektra Records on March 3, 1986 in North America.

Now widely considered a classic of thrash metal, the album proved to be a modest commercial success upon its release by reaching #29 on the U.S. Billboard 200, making it the very first thrash metal album to crack the Top 40. With the band’s rising popularity from the release of Metallica, awareness of the album has increased, and according to the RIAA, it has sold over six million copies in the U.S. alone. It was the last album the band recorded with bass player Cliff Burton, who died in a tour bus crash six months after it was released.

Historical significance

The band’s line-up during the album’s recording was James Hetfield on vocals and rhythm guitar, Lars Ulrich on drums, Kirk Hammett on lead guitar, and Cliff Burton on bass. The album is remembered in part due to the death of Burton shortly after the release of the album in a bus accident while supporting the album on tour.

When it was released, Master of Puppets provided many metal fans with an alternative image to the commercially popular glam metal bands, such as Poison, Bon Jovi,Mötley Crüe, and Ratt. The album has frequently been tagged by critics as “one of the most influential heavy metal albums of all time.”

    Master of Puppets is the most overrated metal album ever

    "the arguments on that group are pure no sense and quite ignorant" No, they are obviously all facts, you're just a butthurt fanboy who can't accept it. "Metallica has the best lead guitarist out of the big four." Nice joke!

    The other songs just aren't interesting structurally, emotionally, or catchy.

    Least favorite of their 80's albums. Way too boring besides Welcome Home, the title track, and Battery.

    ...I think I will go out and buy this album if I have the chance, even though I have it on my laptop. And Metallica themselves said they didn't want the "thrash" word to be used. Their words, not mine. Not saying it isn't or is thrash.

    Excelent songs: Master of Puppets,Welcome Home,Baterry,Orion,great song: Dissposable Heroes,Damage Inc,Lepper Messiah,The thing that should not be...I don´t get why this is overrated.Overall not a single weak song.Also it has superb bass,great solos and riffs,and even good drumming.And this IS a thrash metal album.

    the most overrated metal album ever. Gotta admit though, Metallica has the best lead guitarist out of the big four.
