So today is the 25th Anniversary Of Metallica's Master Of Puppets Album. Since The Soundscan era Master Of Puppets since 1991 has sold 4.5 million copies.

So is it a classic album to you, do you hate Metallica what for whatever reason? Is this on of the best 80's metal albums?Opinions everyone!

I got into rock and metal music in 1987 after hearing Guns N Roses - Appetite For Destruction. I stole a tape from a library which was Metallica - Jump In The Fire EP. Metallica to me then were the heaviest music you could listen to, bearing in mine as mentioned i got into rock music from Guns N Roses which isnt that heavy anyway. Master Of Puppets is a very good album. Battery is excellent, Master too obviously, Leper Messiah is also very good song. I've owned this album on cd since about 1995. I hardly listen to it these days, but on occaison if in the mood the odd song from it goes on.

I like Master Of Puppets...part from Orion...the rest of the album is really good.

For me it's without a doubt the high water mark of Metallica's career...and it has been nothing but down hill after that with their commercial crap.

Never been a fan of Metallica, but I respect their music and fans. I kinda liked some songs off of Ride The Lightning though Embarassed

I later realised that the songs I liked were co-written by Dave Mustaine which is of course the leader of Megadeth, one of my favorite bands Razz

Master of Puppets kicks ass.

I loved their first 3 records and the Garage Days EP. Never cared much for any of their stuff since.

MoP is a great album, the turning point for their careers. I think if Cliff would have not died, Metallica would be a totally different band today.
