Performance tip

For Master of Puppets, keep the recurring hook rhythmically identical so listeners can recognize its return. That preparation will keep Master of Puppets from flattening into one dynamic level.

Recommendation

Should you sing it?

With Master of Puppets, do not count on the room to do the work; it is better for a singer ready to own the lyric’s point of view. The song has a clearly recurring hook and room to shape the lines without cramming them. Plan to carry the verses yourself; this is not rated as a dependable full-room singalong.
