Anyone who says Metallica sucks has obviously listened to them so much that they're tired of it.
Me
personally yeah xD
Sad but true 😞
Bro that's the best fucking way to explain it... So true
I never get tired of 'em. It's just the hardcore "I listen to heavier shit therefore mainstream sux" fans that ruined it.
If you ever wanna feel talentless, they were all about 23 when this album was released... let that sink in
Recorded and finished in eight weeks also.
So?
Th1rty3 do you not acknowledge how amazing that is? Imagine being in the early 20s and making music like this... truly gifted people, that is Metallica
@@samdominion8393 so?
Whatever
You can't go wrong with Metallica's first 4 Albums. Literal Metal treasure.
i don't know why ppl hate self titled so much
@@7.65x21mm its abit to prog for some people. i love it, but i see why other people dont.
@@7.65x21mm I get that some people don't like the slower more ""commercial"" songs, but the production alone is incredible, and people can't even give props to that either. If only people could differentiate between something bad, and their own taste. I don't like certain albums, but it's not that hard to see what elements of those things are worth being called good.
I don't like this≠ it's bad.
But people don't get that.
@@xXmacan99Xx prog is definitely not the word for the black album lol. Did you mean pop? Either way, it’s a switch up form their more complex thrash writing BUT has the exact same quality of writing just in a different way.
@@flataffect im pretty sure he was being sarcastic lmaoc
Really hoping this is the beginning of Brad’s “Metal Classics” era
Right after Mic The Snare’s lol
his metalhead transformation arc is amazing
I had a childhood friend who's father would work as a Roadie for the Christian metal band Stryper. One day Stryper was getting their stuff together after recording for their new album and IN WALKS METALLICA.
James was so fuckin stoked to record Master Of Puppets that he let Stryper and the roadies stay to listen the title track before it was ever recorded.
I wish I could have been there, bro.
A Stryper/Metallica crossover is unexpected but awesome.
Did he ever mention how Stryper reacted?
@@2yoyoyo1Unplugged They weren’t all that impressed and just went “Hey man that’s pretty cool!” To James
Cool history, great bands
@Help Stryper were way more skilled than your average glam band
bradley ive said it a million times but you must listen to alice in chains
YES
Dirt
dirt is deadass top ten albums I’ve even listened to
@@addison_deez I think we should exclude ROOSTERRRR
Nah, Rooster slaps; it's just overplayed like a mf
As a Metallica fan this had me stoked. Metallica is my favorite band of all time and it's so awesome to see Brad reacting to my kind of music :) 🤘
St. Anger is the best album dont @me
@@StealthyOleBoi Great album, very under rated. Not the best though
@@phobosvb6900 no.
@@StealthyOleBoi it's a really good album but it's not their best. I will defend st anger till the day I die, but I don't think it's their best album.
@@phobosvb6900 St. Anger is the meme album, but it has something going for it. It's not 90% mediocrity that fades into the background like some of their other releases - in fact, it's aggressively in your face. IMO it's bad - impressively bad, really, to the point that the meme snare is the best idea in the whole album, but it's more interesting than like a third of their catalogue. Listening to MoP and then to saint anger is the kinda shit that makes you realize how much time can change things, and then you listen to lulu and discover what an embarassment is.
MASTER, MASTER, WHERE'S THE DREAMS THAT I'VE BEE-
*CHOCOLATE STARFISH!*
LAUGHTER, LAUGHTER, LAUGHING AT MY CRIES
*_CHOCOLATE STARFISH!_*
If you like this, I’d definitely recommend Ride The Lightning. Very comparable to Master of Puppets. For Whom The Bell Tolls and Fade to Black are absolute classics and the supportive cast is still better than most songs on most other Metallica albums.
100%
And Justice for All has good songs too but be prepared for dogshit production.
@@CidsaDragoon productions good besides lack of bass
I’ll take and justice for all production over st anger and death magnetic any day, there’s no bass, but the guitar, drums, and vocals are absolutely amazing sounding
Tbh ride the lightning is my favourite Metallica album of all time
@@CidsaDragoon But with the bass turned up such as on “And Justice For Jason” it becomes a strong contender for my favorite Metallica album
People hate lars but his drumming contributed to the greatest 5 album run by any metal band
They largely mean he sucks live and I've seen it in person.
Personal opinion, but I think Black Sabbath has Metallica beat for greatest 5 album run by any metal band with their first 5. Actually make that 6 because Sabotage is incredible too. But I agree, Metallica's first 5 albums are amazing
@@guen4413 megadeth also made six incredible first albums to be honest. From KIMB to Youthanasia
@@ImpendingRiot83 ive seen Metallica 7 times in person and Lars absolutely does not suck live. Sorry for your loss.
lars ulrich is a great metallica drummer
Hearing that switch in Battery on your first listen through the album is an unexplainable feeling
The moment distortion first kicks in, taking over gentle acoustic, this feeling is... absolutely cathartic
When I first heard it that switch really didn’t click with me as i didn’t know what to expect when listening to Metallica (it was my first album from them) but when I heard it the second time it clicked and I genuinely levitated for a second.
1.Battery 9/10
2.Master of Puppets 10/10
3.Thing That Should Not Be 9.5/10
4.Sanitarium 9.5/10
5.Disposable Heroes 10/10
6.Leper Messiah 8.5/10
7.Orion 9.5/10
8.Damage Inc. 8/10
Overall: 9.25/10
Amazing album, deserves all the praise it gets. I'm so glad you liked it, would highly recommend the debut Kill Em All, that one is about as good imo. Also And Justice for All is pretty great; Metallica had one of the best runs of albums in the 80s, few bands can rival them, maybe Sonic Youth, Husker Du, Cocteau Twins? possibly REM too? idk
I don't even need to read the rest of this, I saw "Disposable Heros 10/10", and that's enough.
Imagine a rust in peace reaction
Forget the haters...U2 deserves to be on your list. Every album from 1989-1991 is great.
Damage having the lowest rating put me in physical pain, it’s the perfect counterpart to Orion and that intro is heavenly. Not only that but the riffs are arguably better than the ones in disposable.
@@Ryan-tv6cy Love the 1st 3 tracks on the album, especially Hangar 18.
Disposable Heroes is one of my favourite songs of all time. It is criminal that it's so underrated

Fun fact about The Thing That Should Not Be and one of my favourite pieces of music continuity. Every Metallica song about Lovecraft is based around the key of D Minor to a degree:
• Call of Ktulu starts and ends in D Minor, whilst also having modulating between E A and D Minor through out the song
• The Thing That Should Not Be has its choruses in D Minor
• All Nightmare Long is in D Minor, except for the verses and a part of the solo in E Minor
• Dream No More is almost exclusively in the key of D Minor, except for some chromaticism
You should react to Electric ladyland by the Jimi Hendrix experience. Words cannot describe the experience one feels when you hear it for the first time
That is such a good request, Bradley should give some 60's classics a listen.
Hell even the second or third time. It’s just another dimension and still sounds like it after like 60 years
If he does that 3 lawyers from Jimi Hendrix's estate will break into his house and hold a gun to his head until he personally deletes his entire UA-cam channel. Anything Jimi Hendrix is immediately blocked
You should try Ride The Lightning it is also great.
So glad I was here live for this. The accidental soul steal early on had me in stitches.
I love/hate that the recommended section for this video is filled with those "HIP HOP FAN REACTS TO METALLICA" type videos Brad was making fun of in the beginning
Love/hate?
Layne: YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAYEEEEEEAAAAAYEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAH
I'm sorry I just thought of it when I saw people recommending AIC
Wow it's kinda like having only 8 good tracks is better than having 14 tracks where 1/3 of the songs are filler. But for real, why do people keep releasing projects that are almost an hour long but the only got like 15 minutes worth of material?
Bc in the era of streaming they make more money with more tracks bc they get paid per song stream not per album.
Yeah!
*cough cough*
Load and Reload
*cough*
labels
@@metetural9140 they should have just loaded one album with the good stuff from both
era of streaming that's why
James Hetfield told in a interview somewhere he knew that Master of Puppets was a hit when he saw even little kids rocking Master of Puppets. In fact, my first best friend and I became best friends because of Master of Puppets. My dad had downloaded some songs on my phone and when we listened to it, we rocked like 8 year-olds we were a near by playground and for couple of weeks made a deal we wouldn't tell anyone else about the song for how good it was.
This was me and my fathers favorite band and the first band I was EVER introduced to. This album and their music means a ton to me, especially since his passing. I’m so glad you reviewed this and enjoyed it as much as he and I did, it’s truly the greatest metal album of all time.
My crush literally loves metallica, i listened to this and justice for all in 2 days because of them.
Now that dedication brother🤘 I hope you like this
they sound like an awesome person. anyone who listens to Metallica (and is a decent human being) sounds like someone I wanna hang out with.
@@explodingegg123 fr!
Watching someone get absolutely lost in Orion for the first time was wildly entertaining.
this is one of my favorite albums ever, so many lunch breaks at my old retail job were spent in my car listening to this lol. Good times
This is the album that got me into metal as well as listening to full albums. It really is incredible, especially Disposable Heroes. If you're doing more metal album reactions, maybe try From Mars to Sirius by Gojira
This is one of the few albums I care to listen to from start to finish. I discovered it when I was 13 and am still listening to it 14 years later. Glad you enjoyed it!
It’s awesome to see that you love this album so much. I completely agree, it’s a near perfect album. The riffs hit like an absolute freight train and every chorus is catchy as hell. Plus, concept albums are always cool and the message in the lyrics is important. Loving all the metal content recently, keep it up!
Here’s a few more classic all time thrash albums to check out:
Metallica - Ride the Lightning
Megadeth - Rust in Peace
Slayer - Seasons in the Abyss
I’ll add some more
Forbidden - forbidden evil
Annihilator - alice in hell
Exodus - bonded by blood
Sepultura - beneath the remains
The ultra violence - death angel
Cliff Burton RIP is a huge reason for how well written, tight and how well put together these early Metallica albums are. The man was an excellent musician who had a passion for classical music along with other genres and it really shows with these early Metallica albums.
Imo cliff is why they made such a dramatic shift after ajfa. It's like they tried to write the same kind of songs without cliff for ajfa but it just became a long convoluted and somewhat repetitive album that they admitted the crowd would get bored 5 minutes into a 9.5 minute song.
They missed his knowledge of music and contributions that made their long songs so good.
Some of the best parts of MOP album were things cliff contributed to the songs.
Gotta say Brad I love watching you react to music. You're so honest and expressive and thorough in your explanations. Hope I get to jam with someone like you someday, don't really have irl music friends
Replayed this album over and over again when I was 16 and discovering metal, now I'm 29 and haven't really listened to it for years so thank you for reminding me how hard this entire thing goes. Seeing you enjoy it was a lot of fun!
Literally just watched this on stream this morning, wow you got it out fast
Also I wanted to add that this album came out in 1986; and now over 35 years later I am still struggling to find even 10 metal albums, in any subgenre, that top it. Here are some metal albums since then that, in my opinion, maybe surpass it, or at least come close to equaling it (one album per artist):
1.Jute Gyte - Perdurance (2016)
2.Gnaw Their Tongues - An Epiphanic Vomiting of Blood
3.Today is the Day - Sadness Will Prevail
4.Mitochondrion - Archaeaeon
5.Scorn - Vae Solis
6.Primus - Frizzle Fry
7.Meshuggah - Chaosphere
8.Ulcerate - Destroyers of All
9.Type O Negative - Slow Deep and Hard
10.Burzum - Filosofem
11.Abruptum - Obscuritatem advoco amplectère me
12.Death - Individual Thought Patterns
13.Dillinger Escape Plan - Calculating Infinity
14.Dream Theater - Images and Words
15.Sepultura - Roots
16.Khanate - Things Viral
17.Cleric - Regressions
18.Neurosis - Through Silver in Blood
19.Korn - Korn
20.Tool - Lateralus
Not all are better, but to round it up to a top 20, one per artists list
Jesus Christ, this list is horrendous.
vildhjarta - masstaden under vatten
in my opinion it tops all of those albums it is a masterpiece not to say those albums are not good they are fantastic but just want to give this band more love
I’d also like to add a few that don’t objectively surpass MoP, but are still very, very good. A few of these are even on par in my opinion.
Slipknot - Iowa
Deftones - White Pony
Mastodon - Leviathan
Dark Tranquillity - Character
Gojira - From Mars to Sirius
Behemoth - The Satanist
As I Lay Dying - An Ocean Between Us
Linkin Park - Meteora
System of a Down - Toxicity
Loathe - I Let It In and It Took Everything
Spiritbox - Eternal Blue
Side note: Part of me wants to see Brad react to Filosofelm, but he’ll probably just say it’s the worst thing he’s ever heard and give every song the red headphones. And then he’ll learn that Varg isn’t exactly a swell guy and the album was made when he was incarcerated for multiple violent crimes. That’ll be fun.
@@RafaelCDet Why? What's wrong with Perdurance, GTT or Sadness Will Prevail, plz explain! And what would be your list?
L for LnoOpeth
watching you react to this live was like reliving the first time I heard it, such a great feeling
I was just about to ask for you to do this I’m so excited!!!
Thank you for rating this album! Metallica is one of my favorite nostalgia listens, or just listen in general. Aside from my mom always blasting this in car rides, another fun anecdote is that my mom also got whiplash headbanging to Battery at one of their concerts when she was younger than I am now.
im glad you're reacting to more metal because i really want to get into more metal myself
this album is awesome, ride the lightning too. im not really a big metallica fan at all but this shit goes unbelievably hard, its all so tight and everyone is doing their part perfectly. something that stands out to me above everything else is the drumming, its seriously sick
Idk how Lars' legs didn't fall off after recording Battery. Pretty crazy that he was considered one of the best metal drummers ever at one point
If you want more great metal drumming, listen to Reign in Blood by Slayer. Dave Lombardo is a god
So glad that Brad enjoyed this album this much. Cause this’ll introduce him into the world of Thrash metal. Which is such a good sub genre of metal.
Brads back at it again
Brad’s sense of humour has gotten better with each video I actually laughed out loud at the battery pun / edit
This was the first Metallica album I listened to. I was 14 and on a two day road-trip with my older sister and her BF and this album blew my mind. I was a pretty dedicated DC punk kid and sort-of anti metal (for no good reason), but this album negated all of that. I was an instant superfan and it makes me so happy to see Brad go through exactly what I did. Sanitarium and Orion, Battery, Disposable Heroes, all that. Thanks for this vid, man - it got me stoked to revisit their early catalog again.
I remember when my best friend got me into Metallica back in my early teens (probably around 16, 17 years ago now); it legitimately warms my heart to basically see the same initial reactions I had almost reflected to a tee in this video, this band was one of the best entry points into Metal music that I could've asked for; one of my first live shows ever was seeing them when they came through touring for the release of 'Death Magnetic', they had Lamb of God and The Sword with them. Thrash remains one of my favorite subgenres to this day because of how hard albums like this one, 'Ride the Lightning' and 'Kill 'Em All' hooked me in back in the day, I started devouring as much as I could from as many regions as I could, and I was there to see the Thrash revival really hit its hey day because of it. Some of the best times of my youth.
Watching Brad listen to MoP for the first time is the closest I’ll get to hearing this album for the first time again. Disposable Heroes still gives me chills every time I hear it.
The message of Leper Messiah isn't about religion itself, but rather how people corrupt and twist religion to gain power of people.
I'm very happy that you reacted to this album. as someone who's been a huge metallica fan for 2 years it was a treat to see you react to puppets. pls react to and justice for all next (mostly bc it's my favorite Metallica album)
W takes all around, 10/10 work Brad
Hah, watched this react and your Tool reacts and I gotta say, as an older Millennial, watching someone from Gen Z fall in love in real time with music that pretty much defined my formative years is a real treat. Love both the analysis and your openness!
Please, we need a Rust in Peace video
I completely forgot how hard Disposable Heroes goes until I saw this. Another testament to how good this album is.
Lifelong metallica fan and it's so fun to watch a new comer enjoy something that has been so important to me. Since I haven't seen it mentioned though a battery can refer to an artillery battery which fits with the theme of the horror of war that this album is going for
This album simply BLEW ME AWAY the first time I heard it, and I still love it now! One of my all-time favourites!
Would love to see more reactions to metal albums! Rust in Peace by Megadeth would be a huge request and I saw tons of people in the comments also suggesting it. If you vibe with Metallica you would probably really dig it, their frontman was a part of Metallica during their formative years and drove the direction of the band as much as Cliff did imo. The vocals on Rust in Peace are a little grating and difficult to get into, but it's heralded as the tightest thrash metal ever recorded in terms of technicality and musicianship. Also don't listen to a remaster, the remasters are dog shit.
They added the original masters on Spotify a few months back, and then took it off again. The difference is night and day, the remasters kind of take away the rawness that makes it so good in the first place
Peace Sells is in my opinion by far the most essential thrash metal album
@@magnusfrederiksen2965 Wake Up Dead is definitely my favorite megadeth song, but I wanted to pick an album that would set Brad up for success. I can tell production quality is big for him and I think the production on Peace Sells is a little dated and lackluster and might impact how he feels about it for the first time. Also there are a couple songs that feel very filler-ish, particularly Last Words, the pretty bad cover of Aint Superstitious, and even the better songs like Black Friday and The Conjuring start to drag by the middle / end.
Rust is in my opinion the greatest metal album of all time. I absolutely love Dave’s unique vocals and Friedman, I just have no words for him. The most exotic solos and beautiful flow in his playing. 10/10 album
love to see people enjoying this as much as i do! fun fact battery is actually about the venue they used to play on battery street when they first started and its kind of a double about the fans and the energy they had.
That riff that comes in at the end of the second solo is so frickin heavy
I first heard this album back in 1986 when I was just 16 years old. I was blown away. I still am. Metallica changed Metal forever with this release. It's great to see young people feeling this record the same way I did and still do. Great reaction!
The album Nadir by the band Black Tongue is one of the best creations in music history, and is what got me into screaming vocals. The atmosphere they create and the poetry in the lyrics is unmistakable and almost untouched. I thoroughly THOROUGHLY recommend that album, you'd love it. Keep up the great videos Brad, love u
Cool to see you released a reaction of this from 1986
i like coming back to this video. incredible album, i wish i could experience them for the first time again.
god bless this video for convincing me to listen to the album all the way through after just 3 songs and introducing me to what is now my favorite album of all time
It truly is a masterpiece
Loved the video, next up should really be Ride the Lightning, amazing record
Brad not showing the bass solo on Orion really hurt. As a bassist I'm used to being forgotten but ignoring the bass solo just hit me on another level
this half hour flew by wow
Ride the Lightning is my favorite Metallica album personally, but there's no denying that this album is perfect. It's the last Metallica album Cliff Burton recorded before his death and it's a shame he'll never see the legacy he left behind with this album.
Seeing you react to an album that was Seminole in forming my music taste from such a young age is incredible
9:50 "Master, master, where's the dreams that i've been after? Master, master, promised only chocolate starfish."
This was an awesome watch! Would be very curious to what Brad will think of the St. Anger album
12:25 I used to feel the same way as this person when I was in my late teens and early 20's. Then one night driving around I heard "One" play on the radio and I couldn't believe how awesome it still was. I was headbanging just as hard as I do for any heavier bands I was listening to at the time.
You're a good man, dude.
A good human.
I'd like to have a beer with you sometime.
This channel makes me feel old sometimes.(I'm 42) But it's also nice seeing a lot of music I grew up with still has an audience and is till appreciated for the great works of art they are
chat syncing with riff at 30:59 is just perfect.
Literally every time I get into an album u do this shit. Like I jus bought this on vinyl 4 days ago wtf. This been happening too many times now, but im all for it
They were 23 years old when they composed it...
Listened to this vinyl and RTL on repeat for years when I was in elementary-middle school
This album is ironically angelic, falling in love with this thing
Please react to Faith No More next! Angel Dust is an amazing album
A classic !
he enjoyed California, he would definitely love Angel Dust.
YES!!!! I would also recommend King For A Day
Thanks for this reaction
Metallica is prob my favourite band
And Brad you always manage to crack me up 🤣🤣
Dude going from the Mori/Demon Dice video to the Da Baby video and the Falling in Reverse video to this feels so nice. From the pure boredom, cringe, disappointment to pure happiness is just rad.
Orion 😍😍My favourite metallica song
I didnt see this review but my god he is gonna absolutely enjoy it
It's nice seeing someone react to an album I've liked since I was 16
Brad looks like the "Hardwired... To Selfdestruct" album cover whenever he fastforwards his headbopping.
Brad, since you're a metal head now, you should react to calculating infinity by dillinger escape plan. One of the most wild and extreme albums of all time, definitely a classic
Lmao I agree but like...he's gotta ease into the genre some more lol
@@chrilborn4138 I love pretty extreme metal but my God the fans are so tone deaf when it comes to people who seem to be getting into metal. Just because they like, say, iron maiden doesn't mean they're going to then like, say, tetragrammacide.
@@chrilborn4138 well, he's also already reacted to nails, and that pretty extreme
Miss machine or One of us is the killer would be better instead
Such an essential metal album. One of the defining gems of thrash.
Brad put Michael Scott in the thumbnail and thought we wouldn’t notice
I first found out about you through your Muse commentary... which I can't say I agreed upon. When hearing you'd review this album, I'm ngl I was worried.
But I'm glad you enjoyed it. And beyond that, I'm glad you recognised it as something that a lot of people wouldn't enjoy, but would still respect as an excellent piece of music.
Would love to see your reaction to And Justice for All...
@Help haha very true
I have listened to this album every mounth/week for 30+ years now... Stil not tired of it 👍
He bumped up the score ! deserved. Also brad you got the chapters wrong for Orion and Damage Inc.
You’re one of the best channels I’ve seen, heard yet. I’ve only watched the Tool and some Metallica.
I've just listened to this album for the first time a few months ago. Freaking rocks
Think James said Battery is about Battery Street where they played performed at the start of their careers. It's about playing live
I cant help but have massive cheesy smile every time I hear metallica, even after over 20 years of listening to them.
Master of music, nice broham.
I didn't know it was this good.
Im a huge Metallica fan and im glad you liked this album as much as you did. You should try listening to And Justice for all. Its a much different sound but its my favourite album I dont think other people like it as much as MOP or Ride the lightning but you should give it a try I love it. Also keep up the amazing content big fan man 👊 :)
I’ve been enjoying the heavier stuff you’ve been reviewed lately like Metallica, Deftones, Tool and….Muse.
Master of Puppets is in my top ten of fave albums. And while I love watching Brad suffer through bad albums, seeing him genuinely love an album is honestly fantastic
Welcome Home has always been my favorite track on Master of Puppets and I’ve seen that Limp Bizkit has a has a little spike of popularity on this channel, so I’d recommend that if you’ve never heard LB cover Welcome Home, you go listen to it.
This was edited faster than this album's BPMs
