Album Description
Available in:
...And Justice for All est le quatrième album studio du groupe de thrash metal Metallica sorti le 25 août 1988 par Elektra Records.
Les chansons sur ...And Justice for All sont thématiquement dans la lignée des précédents albums traitant de politique et de problèmes sociaux et évitant les sujets mystiques ou occultes. Cet album a été composé suite au décès de Cliff Burton.
Le titre ...And Justice For All fait probablement référence au film du même titre sorti en 1979 avec Al Pacino et qui tourne autour d'une histoire de chantage exercé sur un juge. Il s'agit également des derniers mots du Serment d'allégeance (Pledge of Allegiance) des États-Unis « (…)one Nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all. »
One est considéré comme légendaire par les fans, basé sur le non-moins légendaire roman Johnny s'en va-t-en guerre (Johnny got his gun) de Dalton Trumbo adapté à l'écran et porté comme film-culte et symbole de la lutte pacifiste aux États-Unis lors de la guerre du Viêt Nam. Cette chanson est sans doute l'une des plus connues de Metallica.
To Live Is to Die est un hommage au bassiste Cliff Burton décédé avant cet album. Bien que la piste soit considérée comme instrumentale, elle contient des paroles écrites par Burton et dites par Hetfield. Il marque l'entrée du bassiste Jason Newsted. Celui-ci est d'ailleurs inaudible sur l'album, il est comme "censuré", mais ce défaut sera corrigé sur le Black album et une version avec les basslines reboostées existe, elle est appelée "...And justice for Jason".
User Album Review
And Justice For All was released in 1988, after what was an extremely difficult time in the personal lives of the members of Metallica. While touring their previous release, Master Of Puppets, their tour bus was involved in an accident that killed their bass player Cliff Burton.
This album sounds different to every other Metallica record, vocally gruffer but with thinner orchestration. Drums tick and pop, rather than bang, the guitars sound dryer and thinner, and there’s little in the way of bass. The guitars even occasionally resemble electric violins or cellos - particularly on the closing track "Dyers Eve".
The songs are longer too. And as the sound has become thinner and tauter the songs have grown grander and more epic. These are musicians becoming more ambitious craftsmen and experimenting as a result.Part of this experimentation sees the group explore their progressive streak, but thankfully the speed with which they dispense time changes, new ideas and new phrases that prevent this going on for too long.
As a record it's complicated, aggressive and hugely technically ambitious (so much so that the majority of these songs have only rarely been reproduced in their entirety live), and contains snatches of some of Metallica's finest work – “Blackened” and “Frayed Ends Of Sanity” stand out in particular, both full of ideas, crackling with aggression and neck-snapping hooks.
However, it’s a shame that the rigor applied to recording ideas wasn’t applied to making the album sound better, the thin production gives the whole record a monochrome, slightly one-dimensional feel.
It's as if such was their confidence as a group that they were determined to pursue and express every idea as it occurred in every song, and there are lots of them so they get bigger and grander, but sometimes needlessly so, this lack of economy can leave you feeling like a spectator.
As a result this is a less inclusive, more introverted and frankly quite gloomy record. Although it’s mightily impressive, perhaps in hindsight this is one effort best left to the completists.
