All reviews by user Date  Helpful Rating 0 out of 0 users found this helpful  Metallica at its best-periodPosted: 3/7/2008A review of ...And Justice For All by SoonerRed1 ...And Justice For All is Metallica at its creative peak- especially in its songwriting ability. This album tackles many subjects that still stand out even today- the decay of Mother Earth (Blackened), a corrupt justice system ( the title track), the concept of freedom ( Eye Of The Beholder), the trauma of war ( One), and a tainted upbringing ( Dyers Eve). Of course, all this makes for an interesting listen over the course of 65 minutes. Metallica's sound on this album has created a lot of controversy- its either too tinny sounding in the drum and bass sections or it has the signature Metall-crunch. If anything, it bolsters the lyrical end of the album. Case in point- the Gatling gun bass drum lick in the final verses of "One". In " To Live Is To Die", the album's instrumental, it has a unique classical vibe to it, no doubt a tribute to their original bassist, Cliff Burton. On others, such as " The Frayed Ends Of Sanity", the manic riffing of James Hetfield and Kirk Hammett give the song the overtone of someone going into madness. And Justice For All is definitely Metallica at its best. Was this review helpful? Sign In 1-1 of 1 Per Page |
