Master Of Puppets vs Rust In Peace
Original post
Posted by K✞ulu, 13.09.2008 - 23:40
Well, both albums are classics and maybe even flawless masterpieces. One has an ingenious "Master Of Puppets," the other a decent match of "Holy Wars." One has a classic of an instrumental, the other has the number, quality, and beauty of solos that one other album I have ever heard has. Well, there is kind of a tie situation here, but... right now I feel like voting for Rust In Peace; I do think it's better, and so be it. My vote goes to Rust In Peace.
This is a pretty light poll, so no massive discussions are needed as this is a rather subjective matter. If you have something to say though, please do, e.g. favorite moments, solos, lyrics, riffs or maybe drawbacks if you find any... I just want to see who will win in such a battle.
But please, I freaking beg you on my knees, don't post anything like "Megadeth rules" or "Metallica suxx." And don't vote for a particular album just because one of these bands is your favorite.

I think that Master Of Puppets is better than Rust In Peace, but... Rust In Peace sounds very good too but... like StaytallicA said, Master Of Puppets marked me so I voted for MoP...

Man, I'm getting so tired of threads like this, but I guess I have to explain myself. Rust In peace is a thrash Masterpiece and I'm not denying that Puppets is as well, but, frankly, I have a personal preference for Megadeth. While I know they actually helped to create the very sound that I will now describe, I think that alot of metallica's sound is kind of Cliche' in the thrash realm. I still love 'tallica, but MD keeps my attention alot more effectively. The rhythms are more complex and definitly more creative, their songs are influenced from everything to punk to straight rock to jazz to exotic scalework, not to mention their slightly progressive influences. Most of you probably saw that coming a mile away though... anyway yeah, RIP FTW

Written by Arian Totalis on 16.05.2009 at 04:53 Man, no need to be tired because this is not of "those" threads. I think I made myself clear in the opening post. These two album are my all-time favorites, and so it was interesting who would be winning.

Written by K✞ulu on 16.05.2009 at 08:33 Yeah, I know you said in the opening post to be Objective, but still, it's just so many people will interpret this as "Megadeth vs Metallica" continued. And with my preceeding post, I wasn't putting down all of Metallica, only Lars, and that is only because, well, imo he's a sloppy drummer and his style really is just like, punk. Punk with more fills basically lol.

Yeah, I know. Normally I find myself caught somewhere in the middle of the whole for-against Lars argument. I'm more against than for, but when I try to tell people "hey, at least he can keep a rhythm, sort of." lol.

It's very hard to say which is better - RIP is far more technical and interesting, but dawn patrol kinda ruining it to me, it's so boring I want to cry. MOP is also a great album, it's not as interesting as RIP, but there are "downs" either. I think I'll still vote for RIP, with such masterpieces as Holly Wars, Hangar 18 & Take No Prisoners it just can't lose.

Metallica has better lyrics, Megadeth has a better lead guitarist (Tornado of Souls with it's one minutes solo) and drummer, and I prefer their riffs. Rust also has better production (though Metallica is not at fault, since Puppets is 4 years earlier) which is a big thing for me when I'm listening to thrash. I vote for Megadeth.

I was thinking about this comparison and I came to the conclusion it is impossible to compare the two since they were made at different times in the bands' respective careers. MoP being Metallica's third and thereby oh so crucial album (remember that at the time a bnad's thrid album was generally regarded as the make or break album) and it was of course Megadeth's fourth album. So when compating the two I would say compare Kill Em All to Killing Is My Businees then Ride The Lightning to Peace Sells and then of course Master Of Puppets to So far, So Good, So What and then And Justice For all to Rust In Peace and lastly Metallica to Countdown To Extinction. After this it becomes harder to compare single albums because of much longer breaks in between alvums when it came to Metallica.

Vocals go to - Metallica. I really Don't like Dave's vocals sometimes. It sounds like he is really sick. Guitarwork - Tie. Both have incredible everything. I lean slightly towards Megadeth, but a lot of the acoustic stuff in MoP makes me go back. I can't decide. Bass - Metallica. Does Megadeth even have a bassist? Hah. Everything else is just not really important. I love both, but between these two albums, Master is better.

Rust in peace. The riffs are better, it's filled with awesome solos, and Dave's vocals are unique unlike James Hetfield's. Master Of Puppets is very overrated in my opinion. Battery is nice, but the rest of the album is very boring to me.

Written by tea[m]ster on 17.10.2009 at 11:56 No, youre not nuts. I also find Peace Sells much better than R.I.P. but then again a lot of 35+ people regard Peace Sells as the superior album of the two.

Written by tea[m]ster on 17.10.2009 at 11:56 i agree as well. "RIP" is interesting, tons of great riffs, is MegaDave's second best effort - but lacks some of the, well, BALLS found in "Peace Sells."

Written by BitterCOld on 17.10.2009 at 23:39 On RIP I missed the venom Dave possessed on Peace Sells, just listen to his anger on the title track Peace Sells. At times RIP is too slick sounding imo.

Written by Marcel Hubregtse on 17.10.2009 at 23:48 balls, bile, bite, whatever you want to call it - it was something Peace Sells had (in addition to the stellar musicianship on both) that RIP was lacking.
