So many of today's hardcore Metallica fans were too young at the time they released their Metal fury in it's purest form. In fact, their debut "Kill 'Em All" took time to digest before it became the masterpiece as it's now known. So did their next release "Ride the Lightning". This was a Hardcore kick in the face Metal Band with intensity unlike any other band of their era. It wasn't until their third release "Master of Puppets" that this band took the world by storm and every other Metal Band of that era got pushed into the back seat.
Master of Puppets is one of the best Metal albums....... EVER. It brought recognition to their prior albums by leaps and bounds. Fans couldn't get enough of their Crushing, furious and relentless energy.
Whatever they release in the future will be almost impossible to match how they changed the music industry back in 1986.
