I think you're right about that one. At least that is one of the greatest.

Lots of great metal albums out there....so it would be very difficult to say which is the greatest...Sabbath Bloody Sabbath, Heaven and Hell, the first Symphony X album, The Spectre Within, Awake, IAW, SFAM, Symphony X's V, Barry Manilow's Greatest Hits (how did that get in there?  ), and Master of Puppets certainly ranks up there, although my favorite Metallica album has always been Justice.

NO.
There's no things as the "greatest this" or the "greatest that. Just enjoy what you like and live with it.
We can be so....

Master of Puppets sucks imo (the drumming is terrible)
I like many NWOBHM bands alot
Witchfinder General's "Death Penalty", My Favorite metal album at the moment
Rainbow's "Rainbow Rising", Great album
Black Sabbath's "Heaven and Hell", Amazing album

I haven't checked this out, but even if it's true, I think Prog Metal could certainly have evolved in the absence of Thrash.

Promotion so blatant that it's sad:

I love this album to death, but I like Ride The Lightning better to be honest. And I can't say that either is my #1 album, and I don't even know if I could name my favorite metal album.

SFAM is my favorite album of all time currently, but I'm not sure to what extent I would call it a metal album...

Black Sabbath Heaven & Hell is up there, but I would go for Rainbow Rising - an utter classic of heavy rock.

I'd vote for Mindcrime.
And I played in a Metallica cover band for several years. Justice has the more prog-gy songs (I love Harvester of Sorrow), but I suppose Puppets is the best overall Metallica album. Their three disc reign was pretty impressive.
It depends what kind of metal you're talking about too. Ozzy's Randy Rhoads Tribute album is phenomenal. Whitesnake 1987 is a great album. Then of course there's Appetite and Slippery When Wet, which may not be your cup of tea but hit their respective targets dead center. Gretchen Goes to Nebraska, FNM's Real Thing, and Extreme II all deserve mention too.
Mindcrime for me. |
Three disc reign? I would say it's more like 4 if you're not including Kill Em All.

No. Frankly, I don't think any Metallica albums are that good. I think they're very important and influential, and surely when considering strictly thrash metal they're at the top, but so many better bands have come out in metal music.

Master Of Puppets is one of the best, along with No Sleep Til Hammersmith, Metal Machine Music, and the first Carcass album

It may well be, it was certainly my favourite metal album for a long time when it was released in the 80's. If not the best then it's Metallica's best at least IMO and wouldn't be far off the top of any list of greatest metal albums.

Is Master of Puppets the greatest metal album ever?
Not in my list. Probably Metallica's best work so far, but to say that it's the best metal album ever is for me, an overstatement.

Decent album, but not my vote for greatest by far, that would be Black Sabbath's Heaven and Hell closely followed by Judas Priest's Stained Class. MOP is not even the best thrash metal album in my book, there have been better albums, by Metallica and by other bands, it depends on how much you like thrash metal and how much thrash, in turn, you've listened to.
