The professors discuss the merits, flaws, legacy, and controversy of Metallica's most successful (and potentially most divisive) album. Bryan and Chris consider the often differing opinions of fans and musicians and dive deep into what exactly this album means for Metallica as a band and for metal as an entire genre.

This time around, Chris has been listening to Dream Theater's live album cover of the entire Master of Puppets album. Bryan has been listening to Megadeth and shares his thoughts on the Megadeth and Lamb of God show.
