MORE MUST-HAVES: Half-Speed Remastered 180-gram 45RPM LP Pressings of Metallica's Kill 'Em All, Ride the Lightning, ...And Justice for All, and "The Black Album" Also Available!

One of the defining albums of thrash metal, the 1986 album Master of Puppets is Metallica's best as well as their last with bassist Cliff Burton. Focusing on the concept of power and abuses thereof, this is complex, intelligent, heavy music played with maximum intensity.

"Metallica's third album has a lyrical theme: manipulation. "It deals pretty much with drugs," singer-guitarist James Hetfield said. "Instead of you controlling what you're taking and doing, it's drugs controlling you." It also has a sonic theme: really loud guitars, played fast, with no regard for the hair metal on the airwaves. When the band slows down on "Welcome Home (Sanitarium)," it just emphasizes the unrelenting nature of the rest of the songs." -Rolling Stone, The 500 Greatest Albums of All Time, September 2003

Half-speed mastered at Mobile Fidelity from the original analog tapes, the deluxe edition of this masterpiece features two Limited Edition 180-gram 45RPM LPs tapes housed in a double gatefold jacket with original artwork. YOU NEED THIS. SERIOUSLY.

"Put mildly, this pressing takes its spot among the finest-sounding rock LPs around. Balances, images, and dimensions stun. And the phenomenal dynamic range allows contrasts between brief silent pauses and hostile barrages to register with a musical impact previously unimaginable. Pure genius." -Bob Gendron, The Absolute Sound, October 2008

Also Available on 33 1/3RPM LP
