Album Description
Available in:
Master of Puppets -en español Maestro de las Marionetas- es el tercer álbum de la banda de thrash metal, Metallica. Fue lanzado al mercado el 3 de marzo de 1986, bajo el sello de Elektra Records, alcanzando el puesto 292 en el Billboard 200. El álbum fue el primer disco de oro de la banda tras vender 500.000 copias en Estados Unidos, aunque luego superaría las 6 millones. Gracias a este álbum fue nombrado uno de Los Cuatro Grandes del Thrash Metal
Master of Puppets es el último álbum de Metallica en el que participa el bajista Cliff Burton, quien moriría en un trágico accidente de autobús meses después del lanzamiento del disco. Éste recibió críticas muy favorables y es considerado un clásico del thrash metal, junto con otros álbumes como Rust in Peace, de Megadeth, Among the Living, de Anthrax, o Reign in Blood, de Slayer y del heavy metal en general. Es considerado una de las mayores influencias del thrash metal de todos los tiempos. El solo de guitarra de la canción "Master Of Puppets" fue considerado el quincuagésimo de los cien mejores, según un ejemplar de la revista Guitar World de 1998. "Welcome Home (Sanitarium)", "Master Of puppets", "Disposable Heroes", "Battery", "Orion" y "The Thing That Should Not Be" son jugables en el videojuego Guitar Hero: Metallica. Battery es jugable en el videojuego Rock Band. Es clasificado en el puesto #1 como el mejor album de Metal de la historia por el sitio web Metal Rules.
User Album Review
Master Of Puppets, was their third album, released after their move to major label Elektra Records in 1986, in spite of not containing any singles it was the breakthrough to US rock radio airplay that they'd been looking for.
It’s hard, fast, rock with substance that doesn’t require the listener to wear eye-liner or big fire-hazard hair to enjoy. It also features more serious themes (albeit expressed in a particularly aggressive and direct way) and more complex arrangements than similar acts of the same era. And, praise the Lord, they’re not singing about hotels, or lost summers, or convertibles, or goblins or lipstick and eye-liner and especially, absolutely, definitely not GIRLS.
The lazy, “thrash” the tag doesn’t do the album justice. This is probably among the slowest thrash you'll ever hear, what it is is a very heavy, joyously aggressive record, packed with melody, that feels genuinely inclusive, and is superbly written and performed. Hetfield’s a master of establishing; maintaining and manipulating musical tension and mood, creating songs that really suck you in. This is hard rock as high drama (without the opera).
At this stage in their careers Metallica weren't even doing songs (unless they were covers). They were telling stories; every song is an event, parables of almost biblical proportions that you ignore at your peril. They also happen to rock really hard. Manipulation, deadly sea-monsters, mental breakdown, teenage conscription and subsequent transformation into cannon fodder, corrupt authority, scientology and, err, being a puppet (well there has to be some light relief) – all fine subjects for this band.
After listening to "The Thing That Should Not Be" you'll be sure that you’ve just survived a shark attack and convinced you smell a bit salty. “Welcome Home (Sanitarium)” will make you question your sanity, “Disposable Heroes” will convince you to quit the army (even if you're not a member)...that's the power of the stories on this album.
Roll up and enjoy Metallica, before they became slightly introverted and then went soft altogether.
