Metallica - ...And Justice For All

I love ...And Justice for All, my third fave after RtL and MoP.

For years though I thought it was amazing, but not to its potential, due to it's awful production.

Heard a remastered version that fixed some of that though, and it made me love it more.

AJFA is very progressive, and the drumming is so good it makes me wonder if Lars was the guy responsible. Death Magnetic tries very hard to copy this formula.

has been my fave 'Ca for some time

until i relistened to the whole lot of them recently, then something clicked and my fave is "Master of Puppets"

problem is, AJFA is a collection of jams and it shows

I don't personally feel though that ...And Justice For All has any significantly weaker tracks on it - 'Frayed Ends of Sanity' is the weakest, but it's really only the introduction that makes it so.

Conversely, I could happily skip two tracks listening to Master of Puppets. In all the years I've listened to the album I'd have to say I've tolerated, rather than really liked, 'The Thing That Should Not Be.' 'Damage Inc.' seems to be misplaced. Not to take away from the track, but it just doesn't feel right to me, as if it was just something they stuck on the end to finish the album.

really great metal album, lyrically maybe the best Metallica album.

8.9/10
