Doom master of puppets
Here is how people reacted on social media. When I saw that it was over 8 minutes, that blew my mind. I came up listening to it on a tape that my aunt made for me. I didn’t even know it was over 8 minutes until I got the CD. The way it seamlessly segues back into that chugging riff, building back up the aggression of the song… It’s just an incredibly composed and performed piece of music. The middle section, with the harmonized guitar solos, is borderline classical music, and beautiful. It covers everything that they’re great at. I’m looking for explanations as to what makes this song engrossing. I like Blackened more, but I’m totally willing to admit that Puppets is a better-written and constructed song. But the song Puppets will always be the band’s greatest composition as musicians, in my opinion. No disrespect to Justice, of course, it’s still a great song and I actually prefer the album Justice over the album Puppets. It gets straight to the fucking point instantly and doesn’t let up until it’s over. In Master of Puppets, you never get that feeling. A song like …And Justice For All is more complex, but sometimes it feels like it takes too long to get to the point, or it feels like they’ve played the same riff just one too many times.

It has the perfect balance of complexity and length without ever feeling like it’s repeating itself. The WAD uses a MIDI version of Metallica's Master Of Puppets, from their third studio album, released in 1986 by Elektra Records, along with Master Of Puppets, the WAD also uses a MIDI version of 'The Thing That Should Not Be', also from 1986's Master Of Puppets album. The fact that some guys in their early 20’s wrote it is insane. It’s a masterful (no pun intended) composition. The new concert video, from the geniuses behind Immortal Christmas, features four headbanging sock puppets made to resemble the four members of Metallica from their 1980’s Master Of Puppets era, complete with tiny replicas of the late Cliff Burton’s Rickenbacher bass and Kirk Hammett’s Frankenstein guitar. I could go on and on about how I love this song, but doves don’t fly to the heights at which my feelings flow about it.

I look at other albums/songs and nothing seems to be able to compare, so my question is: Why does this song specifically stand above the rest and how does it manage such a feat? It was the first song from Metallica I ever listenned to, along with No Remorse, perhaps more because I am a doom fanboy than I would like to admit, and it was what made me enjoy metal in the first place. 8.5 minutes of pure metallic masterpiece. Not the album, specifically the title track, “Master of Puppets.” Something about it hits hard and engrosses me, the riff is a gravitational force and I’m a satellite.
