The perfect daily read for fans looking to explore rock history one day—and one album—at a time.
Featured Rock Albums
1986
Metallica
– Master of Puppets
Master of Puppets hits like a sledgehammer, but there’s a cold, deliberate precision to the way it all locks together. The riffs don’t just race; they grind, twist, and lunge forward like something alive. It’s metal at its sharpest, its most unrelenting, but also its most thoughtful.
