Now as far as the original topic is concerned... its just.. too obtuse. But if I were to go for it, thinking "What do I think of when I think "Metal"?", I would be thinking old (at least 20 years), jean jackets, patches, long hair.... **** it, "Master of Puppets".
Go ahead, jump down my throat.

Well, you basically said what I was afraid to.
Master of Puppets is right smack dab in the epicenter of Metal's cultural relevance. It's a fantastic, cohesive album from start to finish and it's bassist's Cliff Burton's swan song to boot. It also pretty well marks the apex of Metallica's career. Bay area thrash at it's very finest. I couldn't agree more.
