This is the quintessential thrash album ... this album has everything you need and nothing you don't.
One of the most intense, and amazing metal experiences I have ever sat through. incredible in every sense of the word.
More like Master of Muppets, because all my kids did when I showed this album to them was whine and complain that elmo wasn't singing Leper Messiah. Ungrateful little shits.

On first listen I just gotta say I enjoyed Disposable Heroes more than Master of Puppets. The former’s sheer intensity, non-stop action, and structure just blew me away and had me captivated front to back
