"Master of Puppets" - METALLICA Storming out of San Francisco's Bay Area were the four horsemen of the apocalypse who believed in playing everything harder, faster and louder than anyone around. There was a misleading intro on 'Battery' that lulled the listener into a false sense of security before the main riff struck like a battering ram between the eyes. Then the epic movements of the title track and the rhino-on-the-rampage grind of 'The Thing That Should Not Be' ensured that Master Of Puppets remains one of thrash-metal's finest moments.
