I thought about making another “essential albums” section, but I think Trollheart's had enough of people ripping him off, and I don't really want to have lots of sections, either. One or two regular sections are enough, in my opinion. Anyway, today I was in the mood for some metal, so I decided this was a good time for finally giving Metallica a try, which is appropriate since I bought a few of their albums earlier this week.
Among my favourites, and the album's most popular tracks, are Battery, probably the fastest and most aggressive song on the album, and Master of Puppets, which features a long instrumental part that makes me instantly love it. The instrumental parts and acoustic interludes on this album go so well together with the crushing riffs, resulting in greatness from start to end. The long tracks don't even get slightly boring!
What could I possibly give this album, other than a well-deserved 5/5?
Oh, and I gave Peace Sells... a listen recently, I think I'm a Metallica guy.
