Battle of title tracks: Master of Puppets or Caught Somewhere in Time?

[WildRanger]

Which title track from 1986 would you choose here?

 

[srfc]

CSIT is great but Puppets is a contender for best ever Metal song.

 

[MindRuler]

Why only 2 choices? Why the year 1986? Why??

But to answer your question: as much as I love and worship the SIT album, MOP title track slays all 8 songs on it.

Definitely Caught Somewhere in Time. Master of Puppets is overrated.

I can hear the laughs at the end of MOP.

Definitely Caught Somewhere in Time. Master of Puppets is overrated.

So. One being a genre defining album title track, the other being the opener from "that album between Powerslave and SSOASS" to most casual Maiden fans?

Yeah, I'll go with MoP.

I guess that doesn't matter since we aren't casuals.

I see Powerslave and SSOASS as the delicious buns and SIT the tasty juicy beefburger inbetween.

Still, it isn't genre defining, and MoP is genre defining for a reason. So we disagree.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA, Master Of Puppets.

 

[Ruflux]

Literally the easiest poll ever. Caught Somewhere in Time is a cool song and all, but you're pitting it against fucking Master of Puppets, come on.

 

[Diesel 11]

MoP for sure.

 

[Brigantium]

Maiden Traitors everywhere

 

[chaosapiant]

Master of Puppets is a great song. But Caught Somewhere in Time is, to me, a far far better track. Better vocals, better guitar, far better drumming, etc.

 

[GhostofCain]

Master of Puppets for me.

Apologies for being pedantic, but Caught Somewhere in Time is not a title track.

 

[Azas]

Let's be objective here... Master all the way. Iconic dramatic song with deeply meaningful lyrics.

 

[WildRanger]

Why only 2 choices? Why the year 1986? Why??

Peace Sells is another metal title track classic from the same year.

Why are we discussing a Metallica song on this forum?

Master by the way. Easy choice.

Why are we discussing a Metallica song on this forum?

My impression is we'd discuss anything on this forum.

Master of Puppets is Metallica's most overrated song. CSIT is Maiden Top 5.
