Metallica's 1986 Elektra debut found the group further expanding their unique, thrash-driven approach to metal. Recorded in drummer Lars Ulrich's native Denmark, the album is an impeccably sounding, increasingly complex one-a cornerstone of '80s metal through and through. It became the band's first record to break the Top 40 of the Billboard 200, the first thrash album to be certified platinum (ultimately earning a 6x platinum certification from the Recording Industry Association of America) and, in 2016, the first metal preserved by the Library of Congress' National Recording Registry.  Metallica's own Blackened Recordings label is delivering definitive reissue as part of one of the year's mightiest box sets, weighing in at three LPs, 10 CDs, a cassette and two DVDs! If that's too much Master of Puppets for your taste, a 3-CD "highlights" version will also be available, as well as a 1-CD and 1-LP remaster of the original album.
