Metallica Master of Puppets Vinyl vs Metallica Kill 'Em All Vinyl

Both are Blackened Recordings pressings of classic Metallica albums, and both carry a 4.6 rating. Master of Puppets is the more polished, more varied record and the better single pick for most new listeners; Kill 'Em All is rawer, faster and thrashier, and the one longtime fans reach for first. Owners of the Walmart color variants praise the sound and the look of the colored vinyl, though some note surface noise and warped discs on either title.

• Choose the Master of Puppets pressing if you want the band's most complete album, with better production and a wider range of songs.
• Choose the Kill 'Em All pressing if you want the debut's raw speed and the start of the band's story.
