Lyrically, Master of Puppets revolved around themes of control and manipulation, a cerebral advance over the less sophisticated penmanship of songs like вЂњMetal MilitiaвЂќ and вЂњHit The Lights.вЂќ вЂњWelcome Home (Sanitarium)вЂќ a song about an inmate trapped in an asylum was inspired by the Ken Kesey novel One Flew Over the CuckooвЂ™s Nest, вЂњThe Thing That Should Not BeвЂќ saw Metallica revisiting their fascination with HP Lovecraft and вЂњLeper MessiahвЂќ took aim at TV evangelists. Musically, it's got a lot of classic Metallica elements: fast parts, mid-tempo verses, halftime things and a lot of interesting progressive stuff that weaves itself in and out of the whole middle section.вЂќ вЂњHe nailed the whole wasted irrelevance of a soldier going off to war and life playing out before his birth. 'That song has some of my favorite lyrics that James has written,' Ulrich said. And both feature that soundtrack-style instrumental that instantly separates them from any and all competition. From there, both alternately delve into speedy thrash and more melody-based numbers. They start with classical undistorted arpeggios that burst into jackhammer thrash passages, continue with a multifaceted track featuring abrupt rhythm and tempo changes, then they progress through a slower, ominous chug nвЂ™ crunch fest. Both Master of Puppets and Ride the Lightning are landmarks of metal, but theyвЂ™re also practically sister records. More than a bridge between their debut Kill вЂEm All and Master of Puppets, Ride the Lightning gave Metallica the confidence to bend rules and established a game plan for the future. But understanding the albumвЂ™s concrete-solid composition and immaculate song structures requires a glance back at MetallicaвЂ™s groundbreaking second album Ride the Lightning. Combining machine gun tempos and barbed, staccato riffing (вЂњ Battery,вЂќ ' Disposable Heroes,вЂќ вЂњ Damage, Inc.вЂќ), rhythmically variegated epics (вЂњ Master of Puppets,вЂќ вЂњ Welcome Home (Sanitarium)' offbeat mid-paced sluggers (вЂњ The Thing That Should Not Be,вЂќ вЂњ Leper MessiahвЂќ) and a cinematic instrumental (вЂњ OrionвЂќ) Master of Puppets raised the bar for both thrash and the entire metal genre.

The songs were pugnacious and explosive, but they were also meticulously crafted and expertly arranged. Today, Master of Puppets is widely acknowledged as the albumВ that propelled thrash metal into the mainstream.
