One of the most overrated albums of all time. Poorly played Chuck Berry riffs and sneering vocals. It's inexplicable how this ended up being the year zero moment for so much amazing music.

It's hard to describe how critical this album was for teenage me, how it shaped my musical taste for the rest of my life, and how it set me up for the massive disappointment that was Metallica trying to court popular appeal and in the process becoming a parody of themselves. But that was all in the future when Master of Puppets was released. Influenced hugely by the writing and arranging skills of bassist Cliff Burton, the album takes metal in new directions, both savage ("Battery") and cerebral ("Orion"). If I could give this 6 stars I would. RIP Cliff.
