Although even I, a huge Metallica fan can admit this album was on the pop side, this was where Metallica was heading anyway. And Justice For All may not have been as commercial but was more polished than its followers, and a SINGLE on MTV(emphasis) was released. All fans should have been expecting this. And Metallica even said themselves "How much faster and heavier can we get(in 1991)"? So the songs on this album are definitely heavy enough that it fits the songs, Metallica maintain most of its songwriting principles such as songs based around E5 power chord,multiple solos in one song, hard, long(no pun)and guitar solos. The low point on this album is easily the last song, while the rest of this album doesn't allow you to skip a single track. However, if you are looking for a way to get into Metallica, do not use this as your guide.
