Music reviews of ...And Justice for All

Music Review: Metallica - At The Top Of Their Game
Rating: 5 Stars

Although the band had much success with their previous 3 albums, "Justice" would be the on that put them on the radio and MTV with the unlikely hit "One". The song was a 7 minute plus tour de force based on the novel "Johnny Got His Gun". An unlikely hit for sure, but a song that was all over MTV and rock radio in 1988. Along with the previous album "Master Of Puppets", this would be the band's most progressive metal oriented recording. All of the songs clock in above the 5 minute mark with lengthy instrumental passages and epic lyrics and song structure. "Justice" also marked the first recording after the tragic death of original bassist Cliff Burton. The rage and sorrow at his loss is evident throughout this album. On the downside new bassist Jason Newstead is constantly buried in the mix on this one to the point where his contributions are almost non-existent. The drum sound on this album is also rather "light" even though Lars performance is fantastic. I think this album could really use a good remastering and it would come across much better. The material on this one is all top notch Metallica. For me there is not a weak track in the bunch and shows the band at the absolute top of their game. If this is not Metallica's best album it surly resides in the top 3 of their career. Yea it's sometimes overblown and pretentious, but to a progressive rock fan like me this is all icing on the cake.

Description of ...And Justice for All

Japanese edition of their top 10 & triple platinum 1988 album with the unmarked bonus track 'The Prince'. 10 tracks total, also featuring the singles 'One' and 'Harvester Of Sorrow'. A CBS/ Sony Records release.
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
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
