Celebrating the 25th anniversary of Kill 'Em All, the debut album from Metallica - and in anticipation of the band's ninth studio album later this year - Warner Bros. Records, under direct supervision from the band, reissued their early albums; KIll 'Em All, Ride The Lightning, Master Of Puppets, ...And Justice For All, and Metallica (aka The Black Album) as both standard and deluxe vinyl editions. Ranked eighth on the list of the biggest selling groups in history, and one of the most influential bands in music, Metallica proved its mettle with these groundbreaking albums.
Master Of Puppets is hailed as a masterpiece by critics far outside heavy metals core audience. The album has also frequently been tagged by critics as "one of the most influential heavy metal albums of all time."
"Yet by bookending the album with two slices of thrash mayhem ("Battery" and "Damage, Inc."), the band reigns triumphant through sheer force - of sound, of will, of malice. The arrangements are thick and muscular, and the material varies enough in texture and tempo to hold interest through all its twists and turns. Some critics have call Master Of Puppets the best heavy metal album ever recorded; if it isn't, it certainly comes close." - All Music Guide

"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. Recorded during three months in Copenhagen, this was bassist Cliff Burton's last album with Metallica; he died in September 1986, when the band's bus crashed." - Rolling Stone   The Deluxe vinyl package features two 45 rpm 180g vinyl discs pressed at RTI in
Stoughton gatefold jacket with Universal Louder Faster
Heavier branded bellyband. The pressing was half-speed
mastered from the original analog tapes at Mobile Fidelity
for the ultimate audiophile listening experience.
"Essential album + amazing sound = Decisions don't come any easier. These 180-gram 45rpm LPs take their place as the best-sounding classic metal albums around  and will cause even the most (justifiably) jaded fan to forgive the band for its mainstream ways during the better part of the past 18 years. Yes, these pressings are  that good." – Playback, June 2008
"…even listeners that know these platters back-to-front are in for a shock not dissimilar to the surprise they received when the Bay Area group went soft in the 90s. Only,  unlike the latter, this transformation is welcome. Instrumental detail, body, and presence are jaw-droppingly grand. Soundstage dimensions are super-quiet. And the  previously inhibiting compression has been lifted." – Bob Gendron, The Absolute Sound, August 2008
