| I think "one" is too related to MTV, but I'll say this was the last decent work from metallica |
|

|
| Good review, I like the way you think... this was my first Metallica album, so it is difficult to for me to be subjective, but I understand the frustration this album brings towards the second half. After the pirates invade I lose interest... |

| I'd say it was the peak of their career, musically, of course. Then they began to turn into a shitty band comparing to what they were used to be. |

| why u have let this shit to be publish here so sorry for MT staffs |
|
|
|
| This is a great album that deserves to be up there with Ride The Lightning and Master of Puppets. Musically this album is great. Somed people are just too obsessed with hating it because it is not underground enough like the privious 3. |
|
|
|
this is definitely my favorite album.
its their heaviest and deepest.
plus the meaning is so true. |
|
|
|
this last one i posted. scratch that.
i didnt read the whole post the guy wrote.
this album is a very good album.
i kinda agree with some of the songs being a little boring somewhat, but the meaning of the album speaks the truth that alot of people were scared to speak back then. idk. i disagree highly. and i agree with IronBlackZepp, people think because its slower and because it was their first album with a video, it was shitty. the song one was how i discovered ...and justice for all. but harvester of sorrow a so called "exciting at first, but boring later" song was the song that made me want more of the album. so once again i highly disagree with this post. |
|
|
|
| This is an okay listen at times. Most of the time it bores me to death. You get like 9 minutes of instrumental, 4 minutes of vocals, another 9 minutes of instrumental, a solo, and there you have it! I just summed up every song on ...And Justice. Well, I exaggerated a bit, but you guys know what I meant... I hope. Every song on this album is pretty long. Some coulda been trimmed down a bit, and I think that woulda helped with the momentum of the album a bit. |

Maybe for you. But I am one of those people that totally agrees with this review. |
|
|
|
| Yknow I was worried I was just crazy but I guess I'm not the only one who saw how bland this album was. the instrumentation just seems so empty. I could almost think of how each song could have been given a bit more flavor as I listened to the album. |
|
|
|
This review is a fucking personal taste.
this one never goes down with such bullshitts. |
|
|
|
I just saw this review now and i couldnt disagree more.
This is one of best metal albuns ever  |
|
|
|
Not a 5....
The only thing that i agree with this review is that about the "three and a half" songs...
all the other, sorry but i find them unreasonably enormus... |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
A rating of 5.0???
C'mon man this album is anything but worth 5...sure "One" got frequent airplay on MTV but that doesn't mean that they went commercial on this album...most of the songs in the album are good in my opinion...
I would rate it 8.5... |
|
|
|
| I couldn't disagree more with this guy, and is the first time i hear this crap about such a good album. Well, opinions are opinions, but this is too much. And Justice For All is an excelent album, so if this guy thinks it deserves 5, which music in his opinion deserves 10?, this rate to me is around 9 |

| My favorite Metallica album. 'nuff said... |
|
|
|
| Great album enough said!!!This review s...s.Album gets borring???Hahahaahahah |
|
|
|
It's not bad album, it's also not great one but it has some of advantages and weaknesses. So I would agree at some point with this review, but definitely not fully. I agree with you that this one is more progressive comparing to the previous three releases, but still there is some nice, enjoyable songs on it (Blackened, One, Harvester Of Sorrow, ...And Justice For All).
My rating would be 7.5 for this one. |
|
|
|
| A 5??? I'm sorry but WTF?? I couldn't disagree more. This is anything BUT boring, and it's one of Metal's best!!! |
|
|
|
| One thing is true - you can't hear the bass, but that it, everything else on this review is bullshit. It's Metallica's most challenging and interesting album! I understand that some people might not like this album 'cause of the lame production, but besides that the album is fucking great! I whish Metallica would do more albums like this one. |

what's interesting in this album except the fact that it has 2,5/8 nice songs??? in this album we see a band playing boring music again and again... i agree that the rating is too harsh but imo it is not their most interesting. |

Indeed. Anyone who says Metallica is the greatest metal band currently is blind as a bat. This band fucking sucks nowadays. And there were tons of bands better than Metallica in the 80s. I always found extremely annoying how tremendously overrated this band is. |

I wish Jethro Tull won another Grammy just to flip the bird at Metallica. It'd be funny. |

| I like this al;bum its not as good as MoP or RTL but still it worth more than a five i give it a 7,5/8 |
|
|
|
| You know I really enjoy parts of this album but I do agree. It has James Hetfield's best vocal performance, and I like the icy cold depressed feel of the album. Its just that the composition of the songs is long winded and overblown. They forgot how to write "music" and just stuck a bunch of riffs together to create a semblance of songs. Still decent though. |

@Joey Jo Jo: I certainly don't begrudge you your opinion, truth be known I actually feel pity and sorrow on your behalf, as this masterpiece of an album has clearly passed you by. I'd hate to exist in a world where I couldn't derive the pleasure I get from this album.

There are actually loads of people that agree with him. Especially amongst my generation. I am one of those as well. |

Haha...yes. A lot of my mates consider this album to be the worst of the first 4. I think they're all masterpieces, however ...And Justice For All is number 1 for me.  |

|
| I mostly agree with the reviewer; very bland and boring album. However, the last song, together with The Eye of the Beholder and One rocks. Personally, a 6 would be due, but kudos to the reviewer for having the guts to gut such a renowned album. |

Yes, kudos to him for having an opinion. Pretty gutsy.
Anyways, I think the score is a little low, but I can definitely understand frustration or different people getting different things out of this album. I personally couldn't care less about the bass either, and nobody rips on a Paul Gilbert album for it being devoid of vocals. It's just not necessary in the music. Blackened was actually the most played song on my iPod for a loooooong time, then it got put to shame pretty badly, hehe, passed by about 600 now. |

| I don't agree with the review at all. True, I rarely listen to ...And Justice For All at the moment (I've not really listened to the album since I got The Scarecrow Trilogy by Avantasia just over three months ago), but, from what I recall of it, it wasn't that bad an album. It has a few good songs ("One" and the title track stand out at the moment) and the other songs had some great riffs, although I'd be lying if I said it was one of my favorite albums. However, I respect the reviewer's opinion enough to say that, aside from a noticeably strong bias against Metallica ("[T]he only thing [...] that has "progressed" is the band's ability to bore the listener into a deep coma after a couple tracks."), he is at least being honest about not liking it, a surprisingly brave think to do considering the number of people who get attacked on forums just for saying "I don't like this album" on a classic album's page, even if they provide good reasons as to why they don't like it. |

|
| I agree for the most part, it's a boring album but it has some great solo's to wake you up once in a while. I'd give it a 6/7. |
|
|
|
| I never understood why people love this album so much. I mean sure there's "Blackened" and "One" which are both outstanding tracks, but those two tracks alone don't make up for the sloppy poor production, the agonizingly monotonous songs and the total disregard for the bass player! As much as I don't like what the black album stands for, I'd say that overall the black album is a more solid package than with this effort. AJFA definitely has its' bright moments, but overall it really does make me feel unsatisfied by the end of the album. I'll stick to Kill Em' All, Ride the Lightning, and Master of Puppets, (Minus "The Thing That Should Not Be" that song is too long and too repetitive like most of AJFA) |
