This album is not perfect sonically, as you've heard. However, the clanging drums, and absence of gritty bass guitar make it unique and pleasant. You know a song from "...And Justice for All" when you hear it. Contrary to others' opinions, I think that the guitars sound awesome. As a guitarist, I find the guitar recordings on this album to be the best I have ever heard in the metal genre. The guitar sounds warm, smooth, deep, with just enough edge.As for the music, these other clowns will tell you how remarkable "One" and "Dyer's Eve" are (and they are!), so I am going to focus on the less popular, but just as good if not better songs. The album starts with the coolest sounding introduction ever in "Blackened". An ensemble of reversed guitar melodies fades in to reach a powerful climax at which the really heavy stuff begins. "And Justice for All" is Metallica's most underrated song. The guitar riffs are phenomenal. After a breathtaking solo, the band cuts to a high-energy drive that backs down to a beautifully heavy melody. It becomes thicker as more guitar layers pile on. Finally, a rich climax of no less than four guitar parts blasts at you. I get chills and an amazing high every time I listen to this song. All metal albums sound pretty much the same. Metallica was always different, and this one is the most unique and epic. Even if you hate metal, but you like classical, this album will astonish you. Pure genius.
