Album: …And Justice for All
Band: @metallica
Year: 1988
Favorite Song: Eye of the Beholder
Genre: Thrash Metal, Heavy Metal, Progressive Metal
Thoughts: This is my favorite Metallica album, Ride the Lightning is a close second.
While I absolutely enjoy every song on this song Eye of the Beholder being one of my five favorite along with Blackened, Ktulu, Fixxxer (fucking go at me. I dare you all) and Disposable Heroes. I think the love and hate is very much deserved here.
As everyone knows, James and Lars muted Jason’s contributions to the bass. I will have to say that the bass tracks are some of the most well structured and composed bass tracks on an album. Especially when you hear Eye of the Beholder and Frayed Ends rough mixes. Jason is very precise with his players that it adds so much more depth and power to James’s playing that it’s an offense that they did this to haze him.
What I love about the album is how incredibly honest it is. The songs are well paced and the progression from Kill Em’ All is very noticeable. The drums are my biggest problem with the album tho.
The drums are clicky and to me, it shouldn’t have been wasted for what sound this is. It’s not terrible, but with Jason buried in the mix, the drums in fact really do suffer. Listening to the remixes of this album gives Lars more clarity.
Check out Chinobino and EchoBass who have done amazing jobs on the four tracks without bass.
Kirk is fine as he is. Especially in One and Eye of the Beholder.
The 2018 remaster is pretty good tho. Jason’s somewhat more notable in the album.
Great record, but its flaws are completely obvious.
Fun Facts: …And Justice for All was nominated for a Grammy for its song One…..it lost to fucking Jethro Tull.
JETHRO FUCKING TULL.
