bored me to death
not listening to ts
I'm sure there are many who could disabuse me of the notion that this is a paint-by-numbers metal album but that is what most of it sounds like to me.
I like that it's ok that I don't like this. And I really don't like this.
hellllll nah
Couldnt finish it :(
I’d never properly listened to Metallica other than their cover of Whiskey in the jar - which I enjoyed before I heard the original and there’s just no comparison. Anyway this was like an endurance challenge, I just wanted it to be over. I just find this so try hard and over produced from lyrics, to music, to image. Not for me at all.
Metal is terrible. I hate listening to it, and I hate Metallica. It’s everywhere, and I’ve had enough.
Gross
ugh
Rabid songs about darkness, death, demons, destruction, and dying. Very formulaic, very similar songs; simple base line, high speed lead guitar, immediate pause, scream one word (or short phrase) repeatedly, speed it back up. They are talented musicians, but (1.4*s) very glad when Master of None was over and behind me.
Not my thing. I like some of Metallica’s later stuff. This is a little too angry for me
that album just wasn‘t it
I think it was fine, just not for me. Loved the music composition, really talented guitarist.
I just never got the wider Metallica thing apart from a few songs. I really really dislike Lars’ drumming on this album, he sounds sloppy and weak.
I was exhausted after this
Muy metal
J'ai vraiment essayé mais je peux pas
Première album que je ne finit pas ...
No me gustó mucho, ya que ese género no es como de mis gustos, le dijo una oportunidad pero no hubo ni una sola canción que me gustará. Igual ya es son mis gustos.
There are about 30 seconds to a minute of each song I like, often towards the end. But the songs are too long. 1.5
Err…55 minutes of my life that I’ll never get back, utterly without merit.
Not my thing
Metallica is so droning and boring
Wow did I hate that!
Cannot do Metallica, not enjoyable.
Not a fan of Metallica at all. I really tried to keep an open mind and give this album the benefit of the doubt but Thrash Metal like this really isn't my genre.
My first Metallica album on this list was "... And Justice for All". I was hoping to have a better reaction to this one - but alas, that was not to be. I dig the point of view of the lyrics of these songs - such as "Leper Messiah" (anti-organized religion, also cool that they took this title from a line in David Bowie's song "Ziggy Stardust"), "Disposable Heroes" (anti-war), and "Master of Puppets" (addressing the dangers of drug addiction). I respect them for not doing the stupid hair metal band crap from the 80s. The Instrumental song ("Orion") is ok and is the only song I "liked". But ... I just do not enjoy the listening experience to pretty much all of this. It just sounds like a guy shouting over completely spastic, hyper music. I don't have any desire to sit and listen to this again. I'm thinking thrash metal is just not for me. Silver lining - at least I only have 2 more Metallica albums to be forced to listen to on this list :) Liked songs on Spotify: 1/8 Rating: 1/5
אני מתנגד למטאליקה
Couldn't make it past the second song!
Just a personal preference l. Im not into metal/rock but I still wanted to give it a try.
Two Metallica albums in three days might seem like a lot for you, but this is normal for dark and twisted guys like me. 😎 3
Prob some of the worst bombolclat ever (Not racist btw)
Not for me.
One of those dread days of enduring aural pain for the project. Initially I was hopeful as it only has 8 songs, but then noticed the album is 54 minutes so they are unfortunately interminably and unecessarily long. When albums like this are listed as the 99th best album of all time, maybe it needs ratings like mine to temper this, but too many non-metal heads steer clear and can't tolerate enough to give it a proper critical rating. Half way through the title song the mire pauses for some musicianship and my brain wakes up & can believe for a minute that it's listening to music and not an barrage of machinery. That break doesn't last of course and we're chundering away soon enough and shaking our hair around. You have to be there (and have long hair to shake), I guess. I am not against heavy hard rock per se and two of my favourite albums are by The God Machine, but this is like purgatory before the pleasures of hell.

My favorite cut was the Orc Battle Hymn - just kidding. Most cuts sound like Orc Battle Hymns. Disposable Heroes was interesting. Well-executed metal is still angry af music and just doesn’t appeal.
yeah no, not my type of music
Kann ich gar nix mit anfangen 2/10.
I know they make people happy, so enjoy away. But I was happy when it ended.
Unnecessary
not a fan of metallica, not my vibe
not a metallica fan at all, this was so hard to get through
nope
Not for me
Nor this
Not my cup of tea.
GETTING CAUGHT UP! I can't lie, this album did nothing for me, I'm just not a Metal guy. however: Orion was SICK, especially the direct middle point when it gets kinda funky. but still only gets up to, like, a 1.5 for me. I know it's good stuff, but it's not for me
Oh whatever.
this gave me such a visceral reaction? i know i'm new to the rock game but DAMN. this is not my vibe.....
This is the second metallica album on my list the last less than 5 albums ago. Metallica is the most over rated band in the world period
Don't like metallica
Not for me, but good for you if you like it!
Make it stop.
As a lover of metal, this band sucks ass. I feel ashamed for listening to this album.
I tried, but I just do not like metal
Sorry, just didn't enjoy it at all.
is this our 20th metallica album cause it feels like it
I despise metal. Including this.
Trash metal. My cat sounds better, if you poke her with a pointed stick!
More like "Bunch of Muppets".
Overrated
I have never been a fan of Metallica but I have to admit, the band is talented- even if metal is not my style.
Way too much drums. This is shit criticism but there's no space no air
Not my cup of tea; couldn't wait for it to be over.
Not my bag.
not my style at all
Würg!
A lot of five star reviews but I don’t get the hype. Too aggressive, depressing lyrics, kinda scary.
Veel herrie, steeds maar weer hetzelfde gebonk dus niet echt fan hiervan 2/10
This album is good for exactly 36 seconds before turning into wet hot garbage. Fuck I hate Metallics so much. Just an actual war crime against music. Absolutely fuck this band now and forever.
Not for me.
Not my week
The silence between the tracks was welcome relief.
Actually mind numbing
No no no
Not a fan
Meticulously crafted bunch of cacophonies.
Overrated
I have to admit that before I sat down and listened to Metallica’s Master of Puppets in its entirety today, I really never saw their appeal. Now that I have listened though, it makes even less fucking sense to me. What a load of lifeless, soulless, monotonous, dead inside, musically tedious, lyrically banal, non-melodic claptrap. Even the guitar solos are high pitched mile a minute painfully ear shattering displays of mindless pyrotechnics devoid of any subtlety or emotion. My wife was mowing the lawn while I was listening, so my favorite parts of this album were the parts that were on when she walked past the window with the lawnmower, which drowned out the “music” Other than all that though, I hated this.
Not a huge metal fan so that hurt
Okay, the thrash Stockholm syndrome is starting. This got a few "huh?"s out of me. Maybe another dozen albums will make me appreciate this. Until then, I've done too much construction work to find power tools metal appealing.
Not my jam
I know people love Metallica, but I just don't get it. Musically competent, and I'm sure this is great I'd it's your kind of thing, but it's not for me.
Not for me. Never has been, probably never will be 1/5
Kjedelig og masete
Lot of 5 star reviews on this one. But not from me. After 4 songs, I stopped it. Just not for me.
I tried and I failed 😐
1. mal dass ich Metallica höre Finde die Gitarre scheiße Stimme uninteressant
No thanks. Hate heavy music
Incredibly masculine. The first songs are so similar that it's hard to tell them apart. It then mellows out. To sure up again. But the lyric does not resonate with me.
not listening
Not for me
I didn’t want to finish it, but I did
Would have gone hard if it was the first music i ever heard
No. Lulu only.
No!!! More metal, to my ears predictable but not completely meritless. Don’t think I’ll listen again though.
Pass.
Never cared for Metallica.
Still can't
not my thing
Oh God...
重金属。感觉有点吵
I’m not a metal fan. Seems in line with their album portfolio.
I was new to this, and I've never liked Metallica. It started off with a really nice Spanish guitar. I immediately assumed I'd misjudged. I wondered for a second if I had accidentally found a Mariachi tribute to Metallica. And then Metallica started. There are times throughout where there is a melody and slower actual music, but it's mostly fat chugging through an anal aneurysm in my ears. I will never understand how people enjoy this. It's like everyone got swept up in thinking they're supposed to like it the way everyone did with Dave Matthews Band 20 years ago; some sort of dirtbag peer pressure. Imagine Napster being shut down over this garbage. I tried to just ignore it and listen in the background at work, but ignoring Metallica is like having a picnic in a cow pasture and ignoring the flies. I got through it, but I'm not the better for it. I wonder if there is a mariachi version I can go enjoy.
So goofy silly but takes itself so seriously.
Bailed after 1.5 tracks - life is too short. Unless you are in Metallica, in which case it probably seems too long.
Refused to listen.
Las canciones son demasiado largas para ser tan parecidas. Nunca fui muy fan del metal pero imagino que para la época estaba bastante bueno, que lástima que nací mucho después sabiendo que Metallica hicieron cosas tan mediocres toda la vida y se convirtieron en viejos lagartos.
Thanks. Listened. Orion is ok, not interested in the rest. Thrash metal ain't my thing, the pulsing guitar riffs set me off in a not-good-way. METALICA not my thing confirmed. 1 star.
not jazz
Brutal (except "Welcome Home (Sanitarium)," which merely sucked). Unwelcome visions in my head of 80s-era proto-incels slam dancing. The only essential question is how long this album will mess with my Spotify algorithm.
I know this is a classic and many people enjoy it. I'm sure it's amazing. I had to stop listening about 30% through the album. For me, it felt like being aggressively fucked in the ears. Not pleasant.
I just can’t though I can appreciate their brilliance. It’s just a genre I can’t do. 1
90 seconds into first song and didn’t fancy it.
Noooooooooooooooooooooo.
Ich mag einfach keinen Metall.
Really not very good at all
Not for me.
Nah. Just not my thing. Didn't enjoy it at all.
i don't wanna say that metal is not my genre, because i like the metal my friends make, but i simply don't have this much energy or care that much about what men have to say; I fell asleep and woke up halfway through orion, then had to relisten.
Nah.
Stop it. ✋
Great sound, great vibes, tons of classics. But, FUCK METALLICA AND FUCK THE RIAA one star
I wouldn't even download this for free on Napster.
Trenchent and thematically Sophmoric in its doom infused drama, hearing this right after Back In Black makes it sound like an emotionless brick. Not impressed.
Ehh, I guess if you’re into head-banding stuff, you can knock yourself out in this one. Not for me thanks
Precursor to screamo music?
want to like this but i really just cant stand thrash
Can’t stand this band
Dreadful
Yet another band that - in spite of its international success and renown - has never really resonated with me at all.
It was too much for me. Not a fan. It’s too metal, too loud and didn’t pique my interest. Was just waiting for it to end.
No thanks. The second half of the album salvaged half a point 1.0
I made it through 3 tracks - which all sounded the same. This feels like a band that is trying to sound like Black Sabbath or Zeppelin and just fails miserably. Metallica is the Wonder Bread of Metal.
shapeless metal, i don't like this genre. the guitar solos are great though, i appreciate more this music when it gets sad update : nah i definitely don't like this album
One of the worst things to happen to music in my lifetime.
Better than I expected... some moments were actually melodic and soothing. I don't know why I had imagined them to be really scream-o
Bobby Axelrod from the show Billions was a big Metallica fan…that character’s personality rubs me the wrong way just like Metallica’s music. I just cannot find anything good about their music. It is just intolerable to my taste.
It's like i'm edging the whole time, except i'm on the edge of pleasure instead of orgasm.
Make it stop
Nope
not for me
Ok. I’ve now listened to a Metallica album and never have to listen to one again (except that reading the reviews I noticed there’s a live Metallica album in the generator 😬). This was an album where reading the wiki entry was actually a bad thing because it gave me hope that I might like the album. For all the supposed thought that went into the lyrics and the “this guitar part is supposed to represent this idea” I certainly didn’t hear or get it. I don’t think I’ve ever listened to an album that seems to have so much effort behind its planning and execution that left me so unimpressed and bored. Oh, and how about a melody once in awhile Metallica? At least Judas Priest has a few songs you can hum.
I’m sure it’s technically very proficient but I hated every last second.
Well, this was relaxing. I got the giggles during Leper Messiah which I don’t think was the effect they were after. I thought I was on the home stretch but then Orion went on for over 8 minutes. I can’t imagine a time when I’d choose to listen to this again.
NOOOOOO battery- :I its better when he doesnt talk 3 master of puppets- 1 the thing that should not be- the thing that shouldnt be is metallica. 2 welcome home- 2 disposable heroes- 2 leper messiah- 3 orion- 1. torture. if you put me in a white room and made me listen to this on loop, id go insane damage inc- i was about to say this was the best song on the album and then he had to start singing... 3 or 4 i dont hate metal. but i hate this kind of metal
Definitely not my genre of music. The tracks all run together for me. The heavy metal hard-driving rock all sounds the same (in a way that I don't enjoy).
Nicht meine Musik .. zu anstrengend
Admired the neoclassical guitar riffs and appreciated the technical prowess. Beyond that, I was resisting the mantra in my head: “make it end, please, make it end.”
No me gusta el metal
Terrible - total bunch of noise and screaming
metal rock
Music for insecure schoolboys and mid life crisis males
Sometimes you just have to draw a line in the sand: I'm not listening to any more Metallica.
There is far too much Metallica on this 1001 album list!
Ikke fan av dette. Føles litt pubertalt:/
Huff dette er virkelig alt jeg ikke liker med metal i ett album. Cheesy og ingen følelser annet enn "headbanging". Følelses så fryktelig tomt ut. De kom seg noe VELDIG til neste albumet, som vi hørte på tidligere. Not for me.
I was a fan of Metallica for about 2 months as a middle school student. After that, they just don't resonate with me. Every song on this album sounded and felt just like every other song on this album.
not for me
I have never been able get into this album. Their others were much easier to listen to for me.
Angry, not to my taste, too much power chord grinding. 1/5
EW METAL
Really not my thing
Aaaack. Most annoying bunch of wannabe posers in the industry. Even worse, they’re boring. How anyone takes them seriously is beyond me
Not for me
I have heard this before Can not take anymore Will you please leave me a lone.... Long lost lyrics to Metallica song better than what was released.
I'm noticing a notable harder rock theme on Fridays. I'm assuming this is not a coincidence. Generally this is not the genre for me. I know this is a well-known great album, it's just not for me.
Meh. We tried listening while walking, but it didn’t resonate.
Terrible
Not my cup of tea at all.
8 tracks, all largely indistinguishable to my ears. Quiet intro, suddenly excessively fast guitars, loud drums and shouting. Wasn't into this in 1986 as an impressionable 18 year old, and no change 37 years later
Nope. I just can’t deal with Metallica beyond the big hits.
This was ass
just not my taste
- Battery : it sounds like someone is drilling my brain. TrrrTrrrTrrr... - Master Of Puppets : 8 minutes was a bit too long - The Thing That Should Not Be : Not memorable - Welcome Home : Finally something softer but after 2 minutes it sounded like it was Master Of Puppets but with different lyrics - Disposable Heroes : Not memorable - Leper Messiah : Not memorable - Orion : I like it better when they don't sing. Had potential but went downhill when it was supposed to go hard at the end of the song. - Damage, Inc : I'm definitely sick of Metallica
What the fuckin' hell is this load of codswallop? A vanity project for virgins. Last picked for the football team and bullied by the cool kids. Metallica are a wet dream on a school trip. They're so angry and, boy, do I not care
I don't like any heavy metal music, so I didn't like this one at all. This isn't passing judgement on the band, however, just my own taste.
First one I couldn’t play through. It’s just not good.
Mosher madness, not a vibe
Mehhh not for me, I like a few Metallica songs but none from this album
Rubbish
didn't like
Not for me, to heavy
Im gonna be honest, i really didnt like it, maybe i wasnt in the right head space but it just wasnt it
Nah.
Not a metal fan
They shout Master, but it must be short for masturbate. Music for a thirteen year old that all of a sudden realises that all the girl in the class have breasts
Every bit as awful as expected. My resolve to listen to all of whatever turns up & give everything a fair crack of the whip has certainly been tested to the full by this album.
I really don't like metal and this solidified it.
Geen zin in deze one trick ponies :)
Du gros Metallica de bourrin
the same kind of aggressive voice as the sex pistols, but this time not really endearing its just annoying. i feel like theres just too much going on and it takes away from anything good. literally so repetitive its actually hurting my ears. i honestly dont think its good at all its really really bad, i cant finish it. no tune or anything remotely pleasant to listen to. shit basically i hate it
Shite!
Never liked Metallica, it's just too grim and rowdy
i dont really like heavy metal soz
didnt like
Production: 5/20 Songwriting: 4/20 Innovation: 4/20 Bangers: 0/20 Emotional response: 2/20 =14 What a load of fucking shit
too noisy
Metalowo jak nazwa wskazuje, ale sa to wyjce drugiej fali, bo lata 80, ciezko cokolwiek o tym napisac. bo jest to niezla napierdalanka po gitarkach i drumach, stad nazwa gatunku trasz metal, od dzikiej furii przelewanej na instrumenty, dodajac do tego wokale, ktore sa zrobione na mode wyjcowa, z ciekawymi efektami echowymi, jakby kult lider nawolywal na msze, okladeczka grobowa z kukielkarzem i niewidzialnymi recami wolnego rynku, nie wiem dlaczego ale zawsze metalikowe fangeje wydawaly mi sie najhbardziej toksycznymi kucami, takimi jacy to oni nie sa, bo sluchaja wlasnie takiej napierdalanki, moze uprzedzenia przemawiaja przeze mnie, ale nie przemawia do mnie takie granie muzyki
I couldn't listen to this album. I tried. It just sounds like noise to me. I don't understand the appeal at all. I wish I did so I can share in the enjoyment...but...nope. Not for me
Hate
too metal for my taste 1/5
