Unpopular Opinion: It's my favorite song off the album.

[@agrizzlybear6954]

Philly #1 Coffee Snob nah man it’s my favourite too along with Orion

I agree totally bro.

[@HypeWrecks]

Lars isn’t actually a bad drummer at all, he’s just gotten very lazy over the years and his form has slipped from not practicing.

[@DEFKNIGHT]

Facts! A little sloppy here and there, but you'd be nit picking. You'd need to listen specifically to Lars just to hear when he was a Little sloppy. Mostly he's on point. This and And Justice For All... just great work from Lars.

@@Pirustae no, not really with any other song. Just this one, the tempo of the song climbs gradually through the masterpiece and that tends to drive down my foot as well and the speed increases along with it. I once found myself going like 90 in a 50 zone after this song when there weren't any cars in the way... And I didn't realize until I was like 85% through the song. It is intense as any... Just be careful!

The best metal album in history fact

[@ktgo4424]

Agree and I think only Ride the lightning and rust in peace are good enough to be mentioned in the same breath as MOP. Honestly I get such a rush STILL listening to songs 5-8. They are just that damn good, and what separates MOP from the other great metal albums. RTL and RIP come out like gang busters. But then after 4 great songs the rest of the album ranges from decent to very good. Whereas MOP is just getting it's feet wet and the 2nd half is so much stronger than the first half.

[@AngelofAnguish]

Don't forget, "Reign In Blood," "Show No Mercy," and/or "Hell Awaits!"

[@ethanaubrey858]

On their thrashers Metallica were the only act to have found that fine equilibrium between aggression, sinister feel and yet enjoyable constructions. It's because I knew this album first and Ride the Lightning that I didn't enjoy Anthrax and Exodus as much as Metallica (and Slayer some times). It's quite dark, but not too much. It's aggressive but enjoyable!

[@alonsotarango3486]

If someone tells you they "Love" Metallica, you mention "Damage Inc.", "Dyers Eve", "Escape", "To live is to die", "Orion", or "Trapped under Ice", and they dont know what you are talking about, just walk away 😆

right . if you ask them so your a metallica fan huh ! what songs you dig? and they say oh enter sandman . and half of the black album . then they have not gone on the darker side . just ask them to play master of puppets ,ride the lightning. and kill em all then ask them again .

[@keithRR2023]

Actually written in 85 and cliff did do the bass at the beginning and wrote it and wanted it to be like come sweet death by Bach, he took Bachs version and out his own style into it, this is one of my favorite tunes by them, I was fortunate to see them twice on Master of Puppets tour in Feb and May of 1986 and then cliff got killed , that was a hard day, cliff was the driving force of Metallica back then musically.

[@GalacticCenterOG]

I do believe that 3:23 is the most hardcore riff ever brought into this reality. We already know what kind of DAMAGE it can do in this reality, but I bet it shatters all others out of existence lol. By far my most favorite Metallica song. And that’s saying a lot.

Nah man they completely went out on their own level on this album. Elements of thrash sure but not even close to pure thrash this is pure excellence that’ll never ever be repeated. Bands like Anthrax, Exodus and so on we’re on that thrash level while Metallica were breaking boundaries

[@belliiahmed]

Actually the lead guitarist of the band " Kirk Hammett " Who invented Thrash Metal in 1978/1979 ( when he started his first band Exodus

[@hughjoelcock7145]

They kind of did. Lars being from Europe and listening to nothing but NWOBHM and James being a fan of classic hard and punk rock was the perfect fusion. Kicking out Dave and hiring Kirk who was trying to do the same thing Lars was doing w his own band and then cliff of course was what sealed the deal for them because you had 4 guys who were on the same page and all contributed perfectly. All the copy cats thought being louder and faster was the only way to be better but it wasn’t. The lot of them lack Metallica’s creativity.

[@Sadarsa]

Back in the '80s, I was really into music. I mean from a technical perspective. I was going through vocal training and was receiving a 'classical education. So at the time, I paid very close attention to details within the music. Metallica impressed the hell out of me on a technical level, their instrumentals were dope as hell... though honestly as a vocalist at the time I scoffed at James. But yeah may favorite songs were where their instrumentals were like musical poetry. Master of puppets, Orion, To live is to Die, And justice for all, Call of Ktulu... and more. The Death of Cliff was a blow to the band in more ways than just losing a friend. Cliff was where their musicality came from, after Cliff their music took on a Pop vibe that I didn't care for. Not to say the music wasn't hard, fast and metal... but it was poppy in its arrangement, incorporating quick hooks and simpler tones. It was far less technical, less poetic, and meaningful in its arrangements.

[@agrizzlybear6954]

Cliff’s intro is so good. Yous should react to “Orion” next. One of their best songs Edit: this is one of my favourite songs by them and every time I hear it I am reminded of how good they are (especially around the time of recording this) I agree with the statement Dylan said “Metallica are one of the badest fucking bands around” nothing can compare to Master of Puppets Metallica in my opinion
