Metallica: Master of Puppets

I listened to this album this evening. I think its one of their best. It was the first Metallica album I heard and I was blown away by the power of Battery and astonished that there were some great guitar solo pieces in amongst the heavy grinding thrashing. My favourite track remains The Thing That Should Not Be, even though the lyrics seem a little naff now. In the last year I've heard their first album Kill 'Em All and this is also very very good. At their best, they are strong and melodic and are able to convey the dark overtones and trgedies of life in their music.
