Metallica's Master Of Puppets vs. Maiden's Powerslave

Both are good, but Powerslave is in my opinion a bit better.

Master Of Puppets. I don't think Powerslave is even on the same scale of Puppets. Still an awesome album, though.

AMEN

I definitely have to go with "Master of Puppets". Nothing against "Powerslave", because it's a great album... I just don't think it's on the same level.

Master of Puppets for sure.

Mop hands down i am afriad powerlsve is amazing also but MOP is in another universe

I like Maiden as a band more than I like Metallica; but, I like Master of Puppets more than Powerslave because:

1.
"Aces High" (4:31)

2. "2 Minutes to Midnight" (6:04)
Here's were I get bored...
3. "Losfer Words (Big 'Orra)" [instrumental] (4:15)
4. "Flash of the Blade" (4:05)
5. "The Duelists" (6:18)
6. "Back in the Village" (5:02)
...and I am happy again.
7. "Powerslave" (7:12)

8. "Rime of the Ancient Mariner" (13:45)

I had prepared a pie chart but I ate it.

MASTER!

MASTER!

MASTER OF PUPPETS!!

the middle three tracks always never did it as much for me as the rest of the album but i still like it a lot

powerslave.

Puppets, no question...

Master of Puppets was heavier, therefore my choice.

Heavier does not equate better w/me, though I believe MoP has the edge in this battle.

song for song.... between these two lps....I choose "Puppets"
band for band....well Maiden had a string of 8 exceptional lps from the debut S/T through Somewhere In Time and "Tallica had merely 3 (maybe 4) from Kill Em All to Puppets. Just my old guy opinion.

I know alot of people that feel the same way - heck, even Steve Harris feels the same way!

I always thought Master was one of the most overrated albums ever. Powerslave.

Both are good. But Powerslave is better, IMO.

Although I like MoP plenty, I find myself thinking those thoughts when I listen to it. It's good, but something's off for me just slightly. I've never been able to put a finger on it, either.

Powerslave, I'm not big on Metallica

Master Of Puppets of course. You could have put in Piece of Mind instead of Power Slave.

puppets for sure, I think it is a more influencial album and therefore more deserving of praise then powerslave is. Not that that has anything to do with my personal preference but even still.

MOP. It's always been one of my top fave albums ever. Powerslave is great, however, it's MOP for me.

Master... MASTER!!!

Master.
