Summary: After you get used to it, its MORE than satisfying
Review: Think about this: You hear ALOT about how shoddy the production work is on this album. But after a couple of listens to it, I cant imagine this album WITHOUT the sounds-like-made-in-a-garage feel to it. After all, isnt that how Metallica started off ? With that said, this is one of their better albums with thrashers as BLACKENED and DYERS EVE, and one of the better early Metallica songs EVER made, HARVESTER OF SORROW. This is Metallica as its angry best ! My choice cut (which I cant believe is not more popular in concert) is FRAYED ENDS OF SANITY. The lyrics are dark, the instrumental guitar piece is ELECTRIFYING, and the arrangement is top-notch. The one weak spot is the instrumental TO LIVE IS TO DIE. To repetative and overlong...And what can you say about ONE ? Simply a classic ! DONT let people tell you that the production is lousy ! I think its how its meant to be heard...To get under your skin !

Summary: ...And Justice for all still serving justice in 2000!
Review: ...And Justice For All is one of Metallica's heavier albums but still it is an album with deep insightful lyrics that amaze even non Metallica fans, this is an album that is a must own for everyone, even for non metallica fans! It has gone platinum plus and it is still serving justice in the year 2000!

Summary: The most complex Metallica CD
Review: This CD is incredible musically and features some of my personal favorite Metallica songs ever like "And Justice For All...", "One", "To Live is to Die", and "Dyer's Eve". This is probably the most complex Metallica CD, but the production is kind of bad. If you buy only three Metallica CD's make it "Puppets" and this one. (I haven't heard "Kill 'Em All" though, so it might be awesome too)

Summary: The Best Metallica Album
Review: I am a great fan of Metallica's 80s metal. I have heard all of their albums and this best there is. If you are planning on buying a Metallica CD you should buy this one

Summary: Cold, intellectual, almost inhuman.
Review: Jason Newsted's entrance into the band occurred at a pivotal point in Metallica's development -- just when the band's obsession with long songs and an increasingly techno sound were about to come to a head. After the Garage Days Revisited EP, Metallica was poised to produce its signature record, the "concept album" phase of the band's career, if you will. The result, ...And Justice for All, is an album almost entirely devoid of funk, groove, or melodic enjoyment, an approach that isn't unsuitable to the album's bleak socio-political slant. With a cutting-edge but extremely distancing mix, giving the notes a robotic precision, ...And Justice takes Metallica's exact approach to riffery to an extreme. Rhythm guitars are flattened out, basslines are nearly inaudible (a problem Newsted and Bob Rock addressed during the recording of the black album), and songs become almost monuments, with no relevant beginning, middle or end, becoming more like blobs of organic noise aimed mostly for the cranium. "Blackened", "...And Justice for All", "Eye of the Beholder", "The Shortest Straw", "One"...it's all depressing, subzero metal, rendered with precision and technical proficiency, with very little human warmth, entirely devoid of hope. This album has a zero fun factor. Listen and absorb with your intellect -- ...And Justice for All is a classic, but one that carries a distinctly high-art flavour to it.

Summary: Best album from the best band ever!
Review: This album is great! There is a lot of emotion and a lot of great musical skills. I think, this is the best album Metallica has ever released, although they are still just as good today as they ever were. METALLICA ROCKS!

Summary: Good songs, bad production
Review: I bought this album having only heard "One" before - a really great song, and the title track and "To Live is to Die" are awesome too. But who messed up the sound? There's almost no bass and the guitars sound thin. If this had been better produced it might rival Master of Puppets as their best CD. Okay, but it disappointed me.

Summary: this is the greatest metal/rockalbum of all time
Review: i purchased and justice for all in 1991 when i was 10 years old. since then i have had to purchase it 3 times due to wear and tear on the disc. i dont really care that the bass is hardly audible you cannot find a greater group of songs on one record. the lyrics, riffs, solos ,and drumwork are awe inspiring. my personal fave is to live is to die. i have never heard a more emotional beautiful song.

Summary: The beginning of Alternica
Review: When people claim this album is Metallica's finest work, the only thing that i can think is that they missed the works by the band from 1981 to 1987... Although an excellent album by any other thrash bands standards, Justice did not live up to the previouse masterpiece Master of Puppets. In addition to the over run drums and distant, sometimes impossible to hear bass lines, Justice strays from the classical influences that Cliff Burton obviously had brought to the band. Some of the better songs on the album are actually not the ones overplayed on the radio such as To live is to die andThe shortest straw. In my opinion, although much better than succesive Metallica works, this album was an improvement on the last three and shows the start of the downfall of metallica

Summary: A Metallica Masterpiece
Review: Before I comment on this great Metallica album, I just want to correct the "genius", Mr. Fausto Chavez, ...And Justice For All is not Metallica's third album, it's their 5th. (1) Kill 'Em All, (2) Ride the Lightning, (3) Master of Puppets, (4) Garage Days Re-Visited (5)...And Justice For All, (6) "Black Album" Metallica, (7) Load, (8) Re-Load, (9) Garage Inc., (10) S&M. Anyways, this is a Metallica masterpiece. Although you can't really hear Newsted's bass play, this album is the true definition of the great metal band that Metallica "used" to be. ...And Justice For All displays Metallica's unbelievable song writing and great instrumental ability, and it' just as good/thrashy as their other masterpieces. Kill 'Em All, Ride the Lightning, Master Of Puppets & ...And Justice For All are "MUST HAVES" for all TRUE Metallica and for all heavymetal/hard rock fans.
