"Master of Puppets." Great metal album or greatest metal album ever?

Re: "Master of Puppets." Great metal album or greatest metal album eve

Nothing Metallica ever put out deserves to be in the same conversation as Rust in Peace.
 
Re: "Master of Puppets." Great metal album or greatest metal album eve

If you're talking about eighties metal, Judas Priest's "Screaming For Vengeance" is it. Runner-up Iron Maiden's "Piece of Mind".
 
Re: "Master of Puppets." Great metal album or greatest metal album eve

I'm not a huge metal fan, but Judas Priest's British Steel is definitely my favourite.
 
Re: "Master of Puppets." Great metal album or greatest metal album eve

Operation: Mindcrime is the greatest metal album

That is a fucking awesome album. I've seen Queensryche perform the whole thing live, and it blew my head off. Got the Livecrime DVD too.

Not so keen on Operation: Mindcrime II, though.

Me neither. they tried LOL, but the first one was a masterpiece. Geoff tate just can't get the power he used to have in his voice.
 
Re: "Master of Puppets." Great metal album or greatest metal album eve

I do like Master of Puppets. It's a great album, especially for Metallica. But I find myself listening to Megadeth much more often than I ever do Metallica...which is funny cause Metallica was my first love, oh well I guess not every relationship lasts forever ;)

Incidentally, my favorite Megadeth Album is probably Youthanasia, just to get that out there. Tout Le Monde is one of the best Megadeth songs ever and puts most of Metallica's ballads to shame.
 
Re: "Master of Puppets." Great metal album or greatest metal album eve

I love MOP but personally I prefer Kill'em all. Right now my favorite band is Children of Bodom, anyone else fans?
 
Re: "Master of Puppets." Great metal album or greatest metal album eve

I like Master of Puppets, but IMHO these albums are its equal or better. Again, IMHO.

Judas Priest - Stained Class, Painkiller
Black Sabbath - Black Sabbath, Paranoid, Sabotage, Heaven and Hell
Megadeth - Peace Sells ... But Who's Buying?, Rust in Peace
Slayer - Reign in Blood
Metallica - Kill 'em All, Ride the Lightning
Diamond Head - Lightning to the Nations
Anthrax - Spreading the Disease, Among the Living, Persistence of Time
S.O.D. - Speak English or Die

That's just off the top of my head.
 
Re: "Master of Puppets." Great metal album or greatest metal album eve

Anthrax - Spreading the Disease, Among the Living, Persistence of Time

Joey Belladonna sounds like a cat that is being garrotted. Although having said that, Persistance of Time is a good album.

SOWN is a lot better though.
 
Re: "Master of Puppets." Great metal album or greatest metal album eve

While there's nothing wrong with Sound of White Noise, or the John Bush era in general, I just have been utterly unable to actually get into it.
 
Re: "Master of Puppets." Great metal album or greatest metal album eve

It might not qualify because there is an abundance of ballad's on it, some featuring only a piano with vocals, but Streets: a Rock Opera by Savatage is absolutely amazing!

I've always been partial to "Rage For Order." Love that one.
 
Re: "Master of Puppets." Great metal album or greatest metal album eve

Smell The Glove by Spinal Tap is the best metal album ever. Followed closely by Tap's Shark Sandwich.

No, the best one is the one with Stonehenge, the most epic metal song ever.
 
Re: "Master of Puppets." Great metal album or greatest metal album eve

While it's a good album and one of better Metallica albums, my favorite would actually be Metallica's self-titled album also known as The Black Album.
 
Re: "Master of Puppets." Great metal album or greatest metal album eve

^ It's not. It has no name. Metallica is the name of the artist, not the album. I remember very clearly at the time them saying so in interviews. It's like the fourth Led Zeppelin album, which is often erroneously called Led Zeppelin IV or the 4 Symbols. Again, it has no name.

Did you even read the link? What exactly do you think "eponymous" means?

And yeah, I remember when the album came out too. I queued up to get it at HMV at midnight. Every piece of marketing and every interview I saw referred to it as a self-titled album.
