Metallica - Battery

Battery by Metallica Song Info

"Battery" is the opening track of Metallica's 1986 album Master of Puppets. As with the opening track from Ride the Lightning, Battery begins with a slow, clean guitar part. In this case, as many as five acoustic guitars are layered harmonically before the drums and bass come in with distorted guitars playing a more melodic version of the acoustic part. This lasts until 1:06, when the guitars cut into a very fast minimalist thrash metal riff that is the basis for the rest of the song. In live concerts, the beginning is not played by the band but instead the actual recording is used (recently dropped 1/2 step in key, since the band tunes 1/2 step down). In keeping with the general "control" theme of Master of Puppets, the lyrics of "Battery" discuss the control that anger can have over one's behavior. The title refers to "battery" in the sense of "assault and battery", as shown by these lyrics: "Smashing through the boundaries / Lunacy has found me / Cannot stop the battery". "Battery" is still an almost constant part of the band's live set list, frequently as the opening or closing song. In some cases, it is also used as a song before the intermission. When played, the song may stop before the interlude, and James Hetfield asks the crowd "Are you alive?... How does it feel to be alive?" and followed by the solo played by Kirk Hammett. During the chorus of the original version, bassist Cliff Burton can be heard roaring the backing vocals each time Hetfield says the title. In the live version of the song played on the Live Shit: Binge & Purge album, intros to the songs "No Remorse", "Ride the Lightning", and "So What?" are played in the song. When performed with the San Francisco Symphony in 1999, the intro up to the thrash riff was instead played by string players in the symphony, utilizing pizzicato in the beginning (the original acoustic) then with bows for the rest. "Battery" will be featured in the upcoming music game Rock Band 2.

- Poor Sound Quality

The sound quality of this album is just plain awful!!! Very low volume!!!

- Epic

I feel like out of all Metallica albums this is the best one produced and just all around epic ā€œnessā€ theirs just so much to listen to and so much depth itā€™s just a masterpiece...

- Metallica ā¤ļø

Amazing

- So you are saying that people who believe in God are puppets?

:P

- metallica master of puppets

metallica master of puppets is an awesome album is my favorite they have done and its one of there best albums that metallica made lond live metallica master of puppets is an awesome album

- Would be 5 stars, but...

Honestly, I donā€™t like the production of this album. It sounds pretty flat and lifeless, especially the drums. The first six songs are great, so itā€™s a shame the production doesnā€™t do them justice. My other reason for giving it four stars is that I donā€™t care for the last two songs.

- Great album catchy songs

Good ring good songs perfect

- ...

This is their best album ever!!

- Great Album - Just Donā€™t Purchase On iTunes

The album is of course amazing, but I have a gripe with iTunes for charging $10 for a 256 kbps lossy copy when I can purchase the hard copy cd for $6 and import it to my library at lossless fidelity. I give Metallica 5 stars and iTunes 1 star.

- Sounds problems

Whole album sounds muffled

- Awesome

Definitely the best Metallica album ever!

- Pro reviews

I only bought Battery and the song is great. It is especially good since Amazon made it music unlimited

- šŸ

Masterpiece. Thatā€™s all I can say

- Master of Puppets

This album features A bunch of good songs and it is sad that this album is the last album for the best bassist ever Cliff Burton

- Prefer the original

I prefer the original just sounds better

- Metallica

Master of puppets!!! Welcome home!!!

- Cmon

ITS THEIR BEST ALBUM but I have the non remasterd and remasterd sounds not as good

- Another Amazing Album

....completely ruined by this ā€œMastered for ITunesā€ garbage. This sounds awful. Save your coin and find an original copy anywhere else.

- Favorite metal album

One of the best from one of the best. šŸ¤ŸšŸ»šŸ¤ŸšŸ»šŸ¤ŸšŸ»šŸ¤ŸšŸ»šŸ¤ŸšŸ»

- Sounds good... but

The other version already on here sounds better to my ears...

- Yup

I was born in 88. Been listening to this since 1995.. wish I was born in the 70s so I can watch them perform before they became who they are now. I canā€™t go to a metal concert/ show with assigned seating. I need to free range and maybe get pushed around

- Whereā€™s the original?

Canā€™t find the original master of puppets.

- THIS IS NOT ROCK

FIX THE GENRE TO METAL!!!!!

- Good

Great album

- Did you see what they did here?

This is NIT a review of the album Master of Puppets itself! That, goes without saying... One of the GREATEST albums ever! It CHANGED my life! Why the 1 star? Because... This "Remastered" version, is no different than the one you could have bought a week ago, with one exception... The digital booklet! It's not included with this version! Maybe I'm the minority, or "Old School" but I happen to like reading the linear notes!

- Amazing

This album is so good. I donā€™t have word to describe it. I listen to it all the time. THANK YOU! šŸ¤˜šŸ»šŸ¤˜šŸ»šŸ¤˜šŸ»

- Puppets & Justice

Mandatory listening.

- Classic

This album is a classic. Every Metallica fan has heard it, and there isnā€™t a bad song on the album. Itā€™s very easy to get lost in this masterpiece. Itā€™s my second favorite album of Metallica, with Justice being first due to the complexity of the arrangements, and the virtuosic showcase on the guitars. Unfortunately, MOP is the last album that Cliff appeared on. The guy who gave this 1 Star because it didnā€™t come with a digital booklet, is crazy. Either way, the content is 5 Stars.

- Daaaaaaaamn

This album is frickin lit! Only four stars because they charge $10.

- YESSSS

Listen to this album. Itā€™s the best!!! One of the top ten Albums of all time in my opinion.

- GOAT šŸ METAL ALBUM

People say not to buy it if you already have it. Those people donā€™t know what their talking about. This is a remaster album meaning it sounds louder and more clearer. Donā€™t listen to a few fools and buy it even if you already have it. šŸ¤˜šŸ»

- One of the Best Metallica Albums but

If you already have the version on here than don't bother with this one.

- WOW

I personally LOVE Master Of Puppets and Metallica itself!

- I Love Metal

ya know metal this day is just too much so what do ya do, go to this album

- Iconic

My other reviews are more in depth so Iā€™m going keep to basic and straightforward. You can shuffle Master/Ride/Justice anyway you want it... Puppets is and always will be a Masterpiece.

- Classic

Favorite Metallica album

- I love Metallica

It never gets old Schools should listen to heavy METAL

- Original Version Sounds Better

Not sure what is remastered about this. It's not as clear or loud as the one I already had and there is definitley less bass. Buy the non-remastered version. Costs $2 less and sounds better. Make no mistake, Master of Puppets is an amazing album. The remastered version does not do it justice.

- Iconic

No point in replacing the old one with this but this is one of the best albums ever made.
