Amazon.com essential recording
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
Amazon.com
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

 Where's the bass? January 8, 2009
I remember when this came out back in 1988, and being all excited about the new material with Newstead on bass. I LIKED "Garage Days". But wait, where's the bass?. Is there some problem with my amp? Nope, just a complete and total lack of bass guitar. A pity, since the songs themselves are only slightly inferior to the band's previous efforts. Hmmm. Oh well, I'm sure the next album will be a masterpiece of metal. *cue ominous music*
 awesome! December 24, 2008

Awesome Reissue December 1, 2008

To make clear, I am review the 2 LP reissue of Metallica's "...And Justice For All."
This is the 4th in Metallica's current vinyl reissue project. Justice is one of my favorite Tallica albums of their great catalog. Song are heavy and meaty. Most of them about 8 minutes and longer. I won't take up a bunch of time reviewing the songs, because it's been done to death.
These reissues have been great from the start and this continues the trend. All original artwork has been restored. The vinyl itself is very high quality and great care has been taken with the half speed mastering.
If you want to here Metallica like never before, pick this and the other reissues up. You won't be disappointed!
 LP Version is terrible!!! November 1, 2008

Don't get me wrong, this is a great album, my one star review has to do with this particular pressing of the lp. For a half speed master, this sounds absolutely horrible! The signal of the recording is so low, I have to crank my phono preamp so much, that the surface noise of the vinyl is noticeable. This should never happen, ESPECIALLY on a heavy metal record, where the music should be so loud it drowns out any lp noise. Do yourself a favor, spend your money on an older original pressing, this one is horrible. I have a UK pressing of this album from vertigo from the early 90s that BLOWs this pressing out of the water, half speed mastered or not.
 Not worth it! October 31, 2008
I bought this SHM-cd thinking it would at least sound a little better than the original one! Unless you need a special Shm-cd player, this release on a normal player doesn't sound any different from the domestic one. Usually Japanese releases sound better, but not here. This album needs a remastered job real bad!
