Album 365: Day 152 - Metallica - ...And Justice For All

Metallica
...And Justice For All
1988














Favorite tracks: Blackened, One, The Frayed Ends of Sanity
Sleeper tracks: To Live Is To Die

This was the first Metallica album I owned.  I wasn't a fan of the stuff before this (A fault of mine.  I'm still wondering how my life would have turned out if I did have those early albums growing up).  This record was heavy as shit in 7th grade.  It didn't make me a fan of their whole catalog but I do remember being curious about other thrash bands after hearing this.  I started listening to Anthrax and Slayer after hearing Metallica.  So...thanks Lars.  I guess.

There are great guitar solos on this album.  Of course the bass is turned down.  I actually heard some bass riffs that I've never heard before.  Drums were great on this record as well.

It's just a really awesome metal (concept) record.  It was thrash mixed with prog lyrics and themes.
