568. Metallica - Master of Puppets


Cemetery field of white crosses tethered to strings, manipulated by a pair of hands in a blood-red sky

Release Date: 1986
Label: Elektra

About ten years ago I was (un)fortunate enough to see Metallica headline Reading Festival. I stood very much near the back. The only song I recognised was 'Enter Sandman', which sounded nothing like The Chordettes version. 'Master of Puppets' is the first of four Metallica albums on this list, and they are possibly the most represented 'metal' band in the book. I like this more than a few people who have written.

Rating: 6/10
