Recent reviews

The quintessential 80s metal record, this is Metallica at their absolute best. Unfortunately the final release before the bus accident that tragically took Cliff Burton’s life, Master of Puppets’ “Orion” allowed Burton to have his unknowing swan song in the best way possible. A perfect album, cover to cover.
