Well renowned classic in the metal community 'Master of Puppets' was the first Metallica, and indeed Thrash, album that I listened to and has since remained one of my favourites. This is Metallica before they turned shit, this is the Metallica that the band tried to recapture with 'Death Magnetic', and this is Metallica we should all still be listening to. My favourite aspect of the album has got to be the guitar work from Kirk Hammett supported by singer James Hetfield - proper face melters. If you were to get one thrash album in your life... it would be Slayer's 'Reign in Blood', but this would be second. Maybe.

Album highlights include (although are not limited to as every song is very good):
Lepar Messiah
Disposable Heroes
Battery
