Master of Puppets is the third studio album by American heavy metal band Metallica, released on March 3, 1986. It is widely considered one of the greatest and most influential metal albums of all time and was the last to feature bassist Cliff Burton before his death in a bus crash later that year. The album is a seminal work of thrash metal, noted for its complex song structures and technical musicianship. The lyrics delve into themes of powerlessness, control, and the abuse of power, touching on subjects such as drug addiction (the title track), war ("Disposable Heroes"), and religious hypocrisy ("Leper Messiah"). Master of Puppets garnered widespread critical acclaim, lauded for its sophisticated arrangements and socially conscious lyrics which helped redefine heavy metal. Its significance was recognized in 2015 when it became the first metal recording inducted into the National Recording Registry by the Library of Congress for its cultural, historical, or aesthetic importance.
