Master of Puppets PosterCelebrating the 25th anniversary of Kill Em All, the debut album from Metallica and in anticipation of the band's ninth studio albumlater this year Warner Bros. Records, under direct supervision from the band, are reissuing their early albums, Kill Em All, Ride The Lightning, Master Of Puppets, ...And Justice For All, and Metallica (aka The Black Album) as both standard and deluxe vinyl editions. Ranked eighth on the list of the biggest selling groups in history, and one of the most influential bands in music, Metallica proved its mettle with these groundbreaking albums. Master Of Puppets was Hailed as a masterpiece by critics far outside heavy metal s core audience, Master Of Puppets sold over half a million copies at its time of release without any major video/radio airplay, making it the band s first record to be certified Gold by the RIAA. It has since sold over six million copies in the U.S. alone. It was the last album the band recorded with bass player Cliff Burton before his death later that year. The album has also frequently been tagged by critics as one of the most influential heavy metal albums of all time. Yet by bookending the album with two slices of thrash mayhem ( Battery and Damage, Inc. ), the band reigns triumphant through sheer force of sound, of will, of malice. The arrangements are thick and muscular, and the material varies enough in texture and tempo to hold interest through all its twists and turns. Some critics have called Master Of Puppets the best heavy metal album ever recorded; if it isn t, it certainly comes close. (All Music Guide) The Deluxe vinyl package features two 45 rpm 180g vinyl discs pressed at RTI in Stoughton gatefold jacket with universal Louder Faster Heavier branded bellyband. The pressing was half-speed mastered from the original analog tapes at Mobile Fidelity for the ultimate audiophile listening experience. One of the defining albums of thrash metal, Master of Puppets is arguably Metallica's best album (as well as their last with bassist Cliff Burton). Focusing on the concept of power and abuses thereof, this is a collection of complex, intelligent music, played at about a hundred miles an hour. Not that these are short songs; this eight-song album clocks in at over an hour, which makes it all the more impressive that not one moment on this recording is boring. In tackling various approaches to their subject, Metallica is insightful lyrically as well as musically: "Welcome Home (Sanitarium)" is from the point of view of an institutionalized inmate and "Disposable Heroes" is the perspective of a soldier. If all you've heard of Metallica is what's been on the radio recently, check this one out. You're in for a surprise. --Genevieve Williams Hard Rock & Metal Music CDs |
