More on Master of Puppets
Description from Wikipedia:
Master of Puppets is the third album by American heavy metal band Metallica. The album was released on March 3, 1986 through Elektra Records. Master of Puppets marks the last recording by bassist Cliff Burton, who died in a bus accident while on tour to promote the album. After debating whether to break up, or to move on with a new bass player, Metallica decided to hire a new bassist, Jason Newsted, who would stay with the band until 2001.
Master of Puppets met high critical reception upon release, and is now considered a classic heavy metal album by fans, critics, and the band members themselves alike. All of the band members consider it Metallica's Magnum opus. Master of Puppets reached #29 on the U.S. Billboard 200 album chart and was the band's first Gold record for sales of 500,000 copies. This was done without any radio airplay or the release of a single or music video. The album is now 6× Platinum in the U.S., with over 6 million copies sold there.
