Even Rolling Stone knows Master of Puppets isn't just Metallica's greatest album, it's the greatest metal album of all time. The first time I heard Master I didn;t even know what the fuck was going on. Remember, it was 1985. Nothing like that had ever been done, so fast, so hard, so intricate. Wall of sound indeed. I so wish Cliff would have lived because they just kept getting better with him as their spiritual center...then he died, and Justice dropped off a bit, then the Black album dropped off quite a bit, and then they fell off a fucking cliff (lulz). Master is what all other metal albums are contrasted against.
