Metallica - Master of Puppets
Mastered by Steve Hoffman
DCC GZS-1133
Released: 1999
There was a time when speed metal was primarily underground music considered by most to be just screaming guitars, fast rhythms, and aggressive vocals listened to by young, rebellious males with long hair and too much testosterone (yes, I admit, I too was one of the aforementioned). Metallica helped change this impression and brought speed metal above ground and to the masses. By showing off furious speed, mind-numbing tempo and time-signature changes, intelligent lyrics, and complex arrangements, Master Of Puppets was the first Metallica album to gain wide acceptance and popularity. Amazingly, this was done with virtually no airplay and no MTV. At that stage in Metallica’s career, they shunned MTV as being commercialized nonsense. Thirteen years later, Master Of Puppets is now a multi-platinum album and gets more radio airplay than ever.
Musically, the album is phenomenal from start to finish. Although the music is unbelievably fast, it is controlled, well timed, meticulously arranged, and full of the vibrant energy.
The original Elektra CD release was mastered in 1986 and has the usual early-CD problems: compressed, edgy, thin, and sterile sound. The Music of the Nations direct-metal master 45-RPM LP release is much better than the Elektra CD, although LP’s soundstage is a little homogenized and the dynamics are slightly limited. The DCC release addresses these issues with aplomb. The product of vacuum-tube technology, the DCC disc sounds, for lack of a better word, great. The most notable difference is that the fullness and body of the instruments has been restored, while the detail is improved. Burton’s bass often gets lost in the rhythm-guitar work, but the DCC remaster captures it better than the Elektra release. The background is cleaner, the dynamics improved, and the warm sound is definitely easier on the ears.
Not only is this a must-have disc for metal fans, I would highly recommend it to anyone wishing to know what the best metal has to offer. This album is a reference point for the genre, and the DCC remaster is the best-sounding release out there. потрясающий ремастер!
