Niiiiice review, I agree with nearly everything here  I'm not sure if I'd say it's slower, the previous albums all had their fair share of heavy metal and groove. Could also be improved with a tad deeper description of the compositions.
Justice is my fav album of theirs and I give it 9.0/10 at the very least |
|
|
|
| Great review man, I agree with you! This is the last great thrash Metallica album: One, Eye Of The Beholder, Harvester Of Sorrow, the title track... masterpiece songs! |

I listen to this album when I'm in a mood to kill something. It's the only music that really calms me down when I'm in a rage. Don't know what I'd do without it. There's nothing else quite like it, and I mean that in a good way.
It sure would be nice to pave over Aguirre's review with your much improved composition. Good work! |
|
|
|
| Well finally a good review about this album. I agree that it is a Metallica classic and maybe it doesn't have the recognition it should but hey people have their opinions and we have ours. Still my favourite til this day. |
|
|
|
| Great album, truly shows their guitar/drumming skills. The riffs are killer on almost all of the songs. Btw, people who doesn't like Lars Ulrichs drumming should listen to Dyers Eve, because when the verse starts he just goes crazy! Incredible! |
|
|
|
| It's obvious... great review. I'm agree. |
|
|
|
| I love this album... I think it was an amazing album. I give it an 8.5/10. |
|
|
|
| Now this is teh review that I should've read first! at Aguirre's I spewed cookies and saliva everywhere, and it wasn't easy to clean from my monitor. But after readng this review I feel better. This is indeed a proggy album, with very long songs (long for Metallica), and coool lyrics. Gret review |
|
|
|
| Ive owned this album for quite a while now, but I didnt start getting into it until recently. Mabey its not quite as good as the previous 2, but its still pretty close. Deffinently more solid then the black album. Blackend is my favorite track. |

|
| its a good album but not the best one. and i give it a 9.5 |
|
|
|
| It is their 2nd best album.One,Blackened,...And Justice for all and the other are fantastic |
|
|
|
nicely said.
i agree 100% with this post.
im glad to see some one tht actually knows something about metallica. |
|
|
|
| I only like ...And Justice For All because of Dyer's Eve. Dyer's Eve is Metallica's fastest song and i love it regardless of the fact that there is ABSOLUTELY NO bass involved in the entire song. |

A well done review for an album that deserves respect. This was one of my first metal albums along with "Kill 'em All" and I still love it, yes, long songs but actually great songs! My favorite one is "To Live Is To Die", oh man, that song fucking kills me. Well, It's nice to know that some people have this album in a respectful place just like me. Just imagine this with Cliff still alive, ohm Im getting orgasmic feelings just for thinking that.
My rate: 8.6 |

There is NO bass involved in the album at all. God, I really don't understand the praise this album gets. |

for real, theres NO bass, the bass drums have a really annoying clicky sound to them and the album just gets old after awhile. |

Totally agreed with you. Most of the songs are too loing for their own good. Not enough ideas in them to keep them interested.
The only THREE songs I can stomach on this underporduced piece of o.......d d....l are Blackened, One, & Dyers Eve, the rest are just an enormous waste of time. |

really to be honest, Dyer's Eve and sometimes One. but aside from that i can pass on this one without any second thoughts. |

Wow, and not even Battery? And I thought I was hard on this album 
And I actually thought that it was only people of my generation that would dislike this album and not of your generation.
Well, good to hear that are actually other sensible (younger in this case) people around  |

| Dyer's Eve is pretty kickass, i gotta agree with LeChron. to be honest, on that track James's voice sounds fucking ANGRY for a change, and i like the intro for To Live Is To Die. One is pretty damn good once it goes into thrash mode and the intro for Blackened is pretty damn nice, and the verse riff is pretty fucked up. like i said the 19/15 beats get on my nerve sometimes but i think they give this album a unique taste. overrated like fuck though, and in my book doesn't get more than 7.. |

"Battery" is on Master of Puppets and is a completely different conversation. if you mean "Blackened" then i dont really find it particularly impressive. i think "Harvester of Sorrow" is a more headbanging track than "Blackened" |

Yes I mean Blackened,somehow I always seem to mix those two up.
I disagree with you on Harvester Of Sorrow I find that one of the most boring and sleep inducing tracks on the album |

i can understand how you can get those mixed up. trust me, those songs are almost interchangeable. thus, i say that "Harvester of Sorrow" is one of the better songs from "...And Justice For All" simply because "Blackened" and "Battery" are so interchangable. |

I don't know about you guys, but I heard bass at these instances:
- On the riff before the solo in Blackened. Probably the most audible bass on the whole album.
- On the beginning riff of ...And Justice For All (when they repeat it later in the song the bass can be heard again).
- A little on Eye Of The Beholder if you turn your volume up.
- The chorus of One, and it's slightly audible during the fast part.
- The section of The Shortest Straw's riff when the guitar goes up.
- Slightly audible on To Live Is To Die.
Yeah you'll most likely have to listen closely to hear it, but it is there. Anyways, this album is really good, and deserving of the 9 score. It's the band's most complex offering as well. I particularly like Lars' drumming on here, it's some of the best. |

if you like dyers eve cause it's fast then you should like blackened cause it's also as fast as dyers eve. Blackened KILLS! |

Not true. "Dyer's Eve" is noticeably faster than "Blackened", even faster than "Battery". (at least on drums)
"Ans Justice For All" is the last great album Metallica have done, by the way. |

yeah it may be faster 5 BPM but it doesn't make them differ a lot. dyers eve may be faster for a longer time but the highest speed i guess is equall. |

No. "Dyers Eve" have parts that are definitely faster than anything on "Blackened".
But you're right to say "Blackened" has fast parts too. And I think it's a better song than "Dyer's Eve" overall. I like it more. |

| Yeah you are right. dyers eve is a bit faster. i checked it. but generally i think blackened is one of the fastest songs metallica ever wrote. |

Actually, Battery, Blackened, and Fight Fire with Fire (near the start) are all at equal tempo with Dyer's Eve. FFWF slows down over the course of the song but whatever. And I think My Apocalypse on DM is as fast as these songs too. |

Dyer's Eve is intense one of the best metal songs ever!!!  |

The Shortest Straw  AWESOME! |

When I listened to this album in 1988 I was totally amazed and I thought it was a masterpiece. But the more time passed the less I liked some of the songs. Right now I think that only 4, or maybe 5 songs are really good: Dyers' Eve, One, Blackened, Shortest Straw amd maybe the title song.
When one looks at this album closely, it becomes blatantly obvious how important Cliff Burton was for Metallica. |
