The riffs and arrangements are moreintricate, the lyrics are more intelligent and biting and James Hetfield's growl is meaner. The set starts out with two tunes that would have been right at home on \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem\u003eKill 'em All,\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cspan\u003e but the next two are slower and more involved. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem\u003eRide the Lightning\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cspan\u003e is a slow (by Metallica's standards) dirge about the futility of war. 'Fade to Black' is a ballad that builds to an instrumental coda featuring the guitar melodies that the band would later base their sound around. It's also Hetfield's first attempt at singing in tune. The most ambitious song is a dense instrumental, 'The Call of Ktulu', that starts with a single arpeggiated guitar and slowly adds layer upon layer, building in intensity until it all comes crashing down nine minutes later.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"EMI","offers":[{"title":"LP","offer_id":56690466423170,"sku":"DHR-04429","price":31.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0556\/2800\/5583\/files\/DHR-04429-125-001.png?v=1780582485"},{"product_id":"metallica-master-of-puppets","title":"Metallica  -  Master Of Puppets","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eMaster of Puppets\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eis the third studio album by Metallica; released on March 3 1986.

Its driving, virtuosic music and angry, political lyrics drew praise from critics outside the metal community. The album is considered the band's strongest effort of the period and is one of the most influential heavy metal albums. Critics credit it for consolidating the American thrash metal scene with its atmospheric and meticulously performed songs. Such was its success that it sold over 6millions copies in the US alone!\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"UMC - Mercury","offers":[{"title":"LP","offer_id":56690467864962,"sku":"DHR-04430","price":31.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0556\/2800\/5583\/files\/DHR-04430-125-001.png?v=1780582560"}],"url":"https:\/\/dreamhouseldn.com\/collections\/metallica.oembed","provider":"Dreamhouse Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
