Product description

Plunge into the raw and unyielding world of Metallica with their fourth studio album, …And Justice for All, released on August 25, 1988. This thrash metal masterpiece marks a pivotal moment in the band's discography, serving as their first studio effort following the tragic loss of bassist Cliff Burton. With Jason Newsted stepping in on bass, the album delivers a complex and aggressive sound that pushes the boundaries of the genre.

Recorded and mixed at One on One Recording Studios in Los Angeles from January to May 1988, …And Justice for All is a testament to Metallica's relentless creativity and technical prowess. The album features a lineup of intense tracks, including the iconic singles "One" and "Eye of the Beholder," each showcasing the band's signature blend of speed, precision, and lyrical depth. The record is notable for its intricate compositions and fast tempos, with few traditional verse-chorus structures, making it a standout in their discography.

Produced by Metallica with Flemming Rasmussen, the album's production is meticulous, capturing the band's raw energy and musical complexity. The mix, handled by Steve Thompson and Michael Barbiero at Bearsville Studios, is particularly noteworthy for its unique approach, with Newsted's bass almost inaudible, adding to the album's distinctive sound.

Thematically, …And Justice for All delves into dark and thought-provoking subjects, addressing political and legal injustices, governmental corruption, censorship, and war. The cover art, designed by Roger Gorman and illustrated by Stephen Gorman, reflects these themes with a striking image of Lady Justice bound in ropes, symbolizing the struggles against injustice.

With a runtime of just over an hour, the album is a powerful collection of thrash metal anthems that have left an indelible mark on the genre. From the opening riffs of "Blackened" to the haunting finale of "Dyers Eve," …And Justice for All is a testament to Metallica's enduring influence and musical brilliance.

This 2024 Limited Edition Reissue 2LP set is pressed on Green vinyl.

Disappointing Green Vinyl
2 out of 5 stars

Disregard my previous review. This is boring, dull, and lifeless. The vinyl is green but that's the only good thing. I'd suggest finding an original instead.
Decent Sound, Minor Crackling

Sound is quite alright, not outstanding, not terrible. A bit of crackling on the D side. (4-/5)
Fantastic Album, Flawless Pressing
5 out of 5 stars

This album is fantastic and still a joy to listen to. The pressing is flawless, the records are perfectly flat, and they play smoothly without any distortion. The sound quality is even better than the first three albums, it truly is a delight to listen to. The cover is a standard pocket size, with high-quality printing that does its job well. I highly recommend it. Enjoy...Played on: Technics SL-100C, Ortofon Concorde Music Bronze, Rega Fono MM MK5, Technics SU-G700M2, Yamaha NS-777, Vinyl Cleaner Pro-Ject VC-E

Initially, I wasn't sold on the “45RPM” series of these timeless records, but after giving in and making a purchase, I gotta say, they're absolutely worth every cent. My top pick from this series is “and justice for all” – I still recall the thrill of grabbing this album at 13, being the first kid in the neighborhood to have it. Even though that was over three decades ago, I can still go back to that moment and feel that same excitement. Metallica was something else back then, before the haircuts, the pop tunes, and the selling out for fancy art deals. Oh well, I guess nothing lasts forever. This reissue is fantastic!
