Editorial Review: Product Description: No Description Available No Track Information Available Media Type: CD Artist: METALLICA Title: AND JUSTICE FOR ALL Street Release Date: 09/06/1988 Genre: HEAVY METAL Amazon.com essential recording: This record has so much good material that it's a shame the production is so shoddy. Songwise, this is probably Metallica's most sophisticated album, exploring the theme of justice and perversions thereof with a vengeance. "One" is one of their best songs ever, building from a slow, edgy beginning into effortless overdrive. The title track is excellent and never boring, despite clocking in at more than nine minutes. It's the epic of the album, but all of the songs are long, displaying impressive chops and songwriting. Metallica took a commercial turn after ...And Justice for All, and it's interesting to speculate on what would have happened to their music had they continued in the direction suggested by this album. --Genevieve Williams Amazon.com: Having already established themselves as the streetwise saviors of heavy metal's oft-tainted legacy in the '80s, Metallica rebounded from the accidental death of original bassist Cliff Burton to produce their most thematically challenging, musically accomplished album to date. Despite James Hetfield's dank, extended portraits of a world collapsing from corruption and decadence--themes that virtually guaranteed it little radio or television exposure--the album was nonetheless a muscular commercial success. Even "One," its complex, seven-and-a-half-minute adaptation of Dalton Trumbo's "Johnny Got His Gun," managed to scale the singles charts. Other highlights include "Blackened," "Eye of the Beholder," and the sweeping "To Live Is to Die," tracks that underscore a sense of musical ambition that's often downright prog-centric, yet never merely self-indulgent. --Jerry McCulley Customer Reviews

 Rating:  - Magnum OpusWho would have thought that Master of Puppets could be topped? And Justice For All is Metallica's greatest work. This album is a masterpiece that will stand the test of time. Rating: - This album does the group justice.In an attempt to follow up their masterpiece, "Master Of Puppets", Metallica basically took that album's formula and turned it up a notch. Indeed, the songs on, "...And Justice For All", have that same progressive edge as the ones on, "Puppets", with the layers of guitars, complex time signatures, and the shear length of the songs but while the previous album was set to 10, this one's set to 11. Two of the songs clock in at over nine minutes and at nine songs long and over an hour in length, this was their longest album at that time. The progressive formula is taken as far as it can go on this album. Many of the songs have multiple riffs and doom and gloom lyrics that put to shame anything on their previous albums. It should ...

It has a unique sound of its own, the bass is rather quiet on this album, but actually I think this very sound is a part of why this album is so good, the unique sound grows on you. It sounds kind of like everything unnecessary is stripped away, and I think this sound fits perfectly with the general feeling of this album and the themes in its lyrics. I don't think it could have been mixed any other way without sacrificing some of this album's uniqueness. When you compare the sound to the Black Album, of course the latter has a more well-rounded sound but in some way it also lacks the edge of this album. I like both but I prefer this one. Rating:  - My first truly HEAVY albumFirst bought this one in 1988 at 13 years old. As a fledgling guitarist, artist and social malcontent, it was HUGE for me. It opened up doors that Poison and Motley Crue would never have led me toward, and for that I will always have a nostalgic love for this disc. Yeah, the production is thick and sludgy. Jason Newstead's bass might as well have not even been recorded, for all you hear of him. Lars learned how to keep time and play drums finally, and Kirk is at his most frantic and tasteful best on this one... before he succumbed to perpetual wah pedal abuse. Yeah, the songs are long. Very long. But, they're mostly worth it. The shorter bursts on this album ARE far more satisfying, overall ("Blackened" and ... Read More: Rating: - Metallica's last "real" album.The world was blessed by Metallica's first three releases. Then tragedy struck as Cliff was killed. It shows on this album. The band seemed in turmoil as this album seems like a slowed down version of Puppets. More like a tribute to Cliff which was appropriate. Sadly, this was the closing chapter on Metallica as they chose to turn their backs on the people that made them famous in the first place. As far as I'm concerned, this was Metallica's swansong. Good bye Metallica, we miss you. |
