''Master of Puppets'' is the third studio album by Music/{{Metallica}}, released in 1986. It is their final album to fully feature bassist Cliff Burton, who was killed in a bus crash while touring in Sweden to support this album. Burton does appear on the B-sides that wound up appearing in ''[[CoversAlbum Garage Inc.]]''. While his death was traumatic, the band eventually decided to continue and replace Burton with Music/JasonNewsted. This album is also their first to be released on a major label - Creator/ElektraRecords.
The lyrics by James Hetfield deal with manipulation and a lack of control, but the diversity of the ideas which tackle these themes somewhat defeat the idea of a concept album. Following the template set by [[Music/RideTheLightning its predecessor]], ''Master of Puppets'' was an immediate commercial and critical success - becoming the first ThrashMetal album to be certified Platinum.
