As much as I think AJFA is flawed, it's still better than 99% of the crap out there.

Hence it's going from a 6 to a 7.

Does this mean you think 99% of music isn't good?

I think he means 99% of new music isn't good.

How would one know unless one listened to everything? I probably listen to less than 1% of new music myself and most others would be struggling to find the time to really listen, in depth, to the majority of new releases.

This album bored me to death !

Man, hard to please. That's a hell of a low rating for a pretty good album.

I just read Joey Jo Jo's review. Fully agreed !
They're trying hard to be "progressive", unfortunately the skills of the guitarist and drummer are not good enough.

At least you increased your rating from 1 to 3. This album probably has some of Lars best drumming.

Are you seeking attention or something? What do you prefer Mr. Bored?

He still had time to write the comment before passing away. Cause of death was officially given as "...And Justice for All".

Well can't say I'm really impressed with this album -_- anyways.

Great album, but the production and length drag it down a bit.

As does the songwriting

This album was an immense letdown when I got hold of it in 1988. Damn, were me and my friends disappointed by it.

No doubt, I believe that. Everything on there is a letdown compared to the previous three albums.

Not everything. Blackened, One, and Dyer's Eve were great. But the rest of the songs... oh my fucking God. Where was the producer to tell the guys to cut down on the length of their songs?

To be honest I never was a fan of One... but I don't know 'bout the producer lol, maybe he thought ''oh well they probably know what they're doing''

Eh, I like it, but as you said, there's some fat that should have been cut. And maybe one or two songs that should have been left out (I'm thinking about Eye Of The Beholder and The Shortest Straw.)

One and Eye Of beholder are best songs here iMO, Harvester is like , good but not best, but I like VH1 video from this song thrash the communism away

Lack of bass aside, I actually think the production kinda fits here. It gives the album a cold and mechanical feel.

I wouldn't say this is bad an album, but it's one of the most boring thrash albums I've ever heard. Plenty of boring riffs and questionable song structures and lengths, that's pretty much what this album is. Sure I could say the obvious "bad production" here too, which isn't to me as big an issue as the songs itself are. To me "The Shortest Straw" is the only song here that doesn't go on too long and lose its interest in countless of forgettable riffs.

I WOULDN'T really recommend this album to pussies, non-pussies or anyone else either. Personally I would go and I will go listen to Heathen's Victims of Deception when I'm urging for something that sounds like this album.

Lars, buddy, what did you do to the mix...

Awesome album, but yeah, seriously, and all because the producer didn't originally give him the drum sound he had requested.

Ever heard this album?:

Thanks, haven't heard of it yet, even though the bass is bit overkilled in levels (but understandably so considering the theme) it still sounds better.

hahahaha ... And justice for Jason very good. I did not know it either, it would be perfect a little lower. At least now we know that he was there haha

Hahaha someone wrote in the youtube:

"00:00 Jasoned
06:41 And Jason for All
16:34 Jason of the Beholder
23:15 JasOne
30:44 The Jason Straw
37:33 Jason of Sorrow
43:27 The Frayed Jasons of Sanity
51:12 To Jason is to Die
1:01:01 Dyer's Jason"

or maybe you prefer:

"Eye of The Jason, The Shortest Jason, Harvester Of Jason, The Frayed Ends of Jason, To Live Is To Jason and Jason's Eve"

This is by far my favorite Metallica album (yes even more than Master and the Black Album). The music is so incredible on every song and Hetfield's voice is very good on this record. I don't see why there are a few people on this page who are hating on this album. Yeah the album has hardly any bass, but the album itself has a great feel all the way through. Plus Lars is actually pretty good on this record.

For me not just from Metallica, also it is my favorite metal album of all time.

The biggest problem with this album isn't the production, it's the lack of flutes and the way they don't play their mandolins loudly enough.
