Master of Puppets, the second Metallica album that I've listened to, is pretty good. It's really similar to Ride the Lightning in it's sound, which is definitely a good thing. This one felt a little better, although I don't really know why; I liked the guitar more here than in Ride the Lightning, maybe just because it had more higher solos. This album is also a little more stylized in it's presentation, such as more inventive guitar and bass solos and vocal touches like in Damage Inc., helping to set it apart from it's predecessor and in my opinion, makes the album better than it. Maybe part of why I liked this album a little more is because I'm getting more familiar with the genre and the band, who knows. If you liked Ride the Lightning, you'll like this too.
Highlights: Battery, Master of Puppets, Welcome Home (Sanitarium), Orion, Damage Inc.
Rating: 5/6
