1.5/5 bad, has a few good tracks
Made me want to scrape my face off
Not for me. This music might be great fun in the most pit but not at home
It’s not my genre of music but I do like some Metallica. I just find the songs too long and too samey. They do show they can play in some places but then it goes back to the usual.
I ALREADY RATED THIS YOU IDIOTS
Never liked Metallica. Can’t get into the vocals.
Hard pass, no thank you.
Nope. I'm not a fan of metal anyway, but this sounds like someone forgot to reverse the RIAA equalisation curve. Tinny AF.
fav track: to live is to die least fav: most of them
p596. 1988. 1 star. The unwanted hatefuck children of Van Halen and Motorhead (Van Halen on the distaff side). Loud, tedious and totally redundant. No-one needs an album of heavy metal with each track over 5 minutes long. Remember 70s prog rock and the wankage associated with it? This is the 80s heavy metal equivalent. Dreadful, shouty noise. One star for the guitar work.
100 hz pömmpöä. Tämä ei ole niin onnistunut albumi kuin master of the puppets, vaikka ekat kappaleet antaakin toivoa. Hajoaa vähän kasaan. Ihan hyvä ei vaan maailman parhaiden albumien kontekstissa. Heh.
boooo i don’t like this album! I think it’s self explanatory why it’s just a lottttt 🤷♀️🤷♀️🤷♀️You can see talent and hear it somewhat but the voice is just what brings it low. I’m choosing between 1 and 2 not because it was good but because i’ve heard much much worse… 2/10, 1/5.
Throughout my likely-annoying and common "I really hate Metallica" ramblings over the years, I'll admit that *most* of that comes from some combination of their big "hit" years of loud songs in E minor with ridiculous growlinnnng...gUHH! vocalsss...sUHH! and my annoyance at the band in general, specifically James Hetfield and Lars Ulrich. Back in their early days they were merely this shadowy musical presence - literally never played on the radio; MTV and video shows were the only other way to publicly hear music and I'm guessing the only songs I'd ever really heard from them were a few from "Ride The Lightning" and then "One" from this album. They were just not my thing but easily avoidable back then just by making zero effort. I then happened to see them in concert on this tour and holyhell I had to walk away - literal headache. Also I suppose it's funny in retrospect that I chose to accept the now-comically-fraudulent generic stage banter from most of the big arena rock bands of the time over these guys who at the time just rubbed me completely the wrong way on and off-stage. Especially James Hetfield who always came (comes?) off as that quintessential age-stunted 16 year old asshole who is barely hanging on in high school and gets off on being a general prick to everyone in the hallways. That concert was the moment decades ago that cemented my "wow I really hate this band" opinion. So...um...hey let's revisit an old favourite! Well...it's not freaking "Unforgiven" or the now-clichéd hockey arena anthem "Enter Sandman" so at least it'll be ......... nope. This is too damn much - mostly that Hetfield's vocals are a do-not-pass-GO no-fly-zone - awful. Also the mix is shite, literally no bass whatsoever - none - what the hell - and I suppose the dry aspect is a preference and it's absolutely not mine. Besides all that, the thrash riffing - while technically very impressive - is something I just can't get through. The only part of the album that's kind of enjoyable is/are many of the mellow guitar lines on "One" The headache remains. 2/10 1 star.
The song One I could listen too fully and even did not dislike, the rest for me is all the same: stupid macho guitar music without an end. Hate heavy metal. Always did. Always will.
I decided to go into this with open ears. Some Kind of Monster out Spinal Tapped Spinal Tap so it makes it very hard to just sit back and listen to Metallica for what it is worth. As with Megadeth and N#$#$%$ D#$#%* I just don't get the point, in this instance it is mainly just funny as opposed to boring or a crime against humanity. I mean...EVERY SONG HAS A SLOW BEGINNING BEFORE THE GUITAR KICKS IN! EVERY SONG! The same er er er guitar chord sound...er er er...the same ponderous, ridiculous drumming, drumming that is trying so hard to be "like heavy dude" that it seriously sounds like the 15 year old kid next door who has stumbled onto one way to play and is going for it every Thursday afternoon in the garage. Non-existent bass, why have a bass player? Lyrics that again would be written by the high school band getting ready for the end of year talent quest. And maybe that is what is going on here, maybe the genius of this is that literally any 15 year boy from Potsdam to Panania figures they could do this, not that they can sound like Metallica, but that Metallica sounds like them!
I tried but I could not sit through an hour of this.
This album was lame as hell. I like ride the lightening, kill em all, and master of puppets, but this was terrible. The lyrics were corny and overly serious, and the instrumentals sounded flat and lifeless like they were recorded on GarageBand with stock sounds. Was not a fan.
This was a struggle to get through for me. Maybe it's because I was listening during work, but it kept throwing me out of concentration. I understand and can respect that this is an iconic album, but for me, I will not be revisiting it any time soon.
I feel bad for saying this because I've grown to like Metallica, but "...And Justice For All" should be called "...And Boredom For All." Never has metal been more unexciting.
It's been over 40 years but I still remember how I thoroughly enjoyed the first time I heard the Al Pacino character's line: "The prosecutor is not going to get that man today because I'm going to get him." The film ". . . And Justice for All" is one of my ATF. The album ". . . And Justice for All" - not so much.
Such high hopes as well. Every vocal track sounds identical. Some really great playing, but which sounds thin and tinny. Prime cuts: One, To Live Is To Die
The more metal I listen to the less I like it. But this was just boring. Endlessly repetitive.
Really did not enjoy this at all. I like the more tuneful Metallica but there’s a lot of one chord screaming here.
Meh…a lot o guitar and drums. Didn’t do anything for me then or now.
Terrible... Couldn't even finish it.
cringe
metallica😑
This kinda sucks 2 I don't enjoy this. 1 "One" is okay
His voice is pretty bad, like a kid trying to sound older than he is. Other than that I was not crazy about the songs, they weren’t that memorable and the ones that were memorable were ruined by his voice.
all sound the same - songs for teenage boys
1/5 not at all!
Metallicock
This is a bit too try-hard for my taste. Almost like a parody of heavy rock.
I knew exactly what this was going to sound like, and I wasn't disappointed. Well, actually I was very disappointed because I just find Metallica disappointing. A disappointing 1/5
I understand this band are quite popular. Fuck knows why.
Hef aldrei náð þessu bandi
Struggling to remember why I was a Metallica fan. Flat and boring. The title track isn't even that good. One is the only gem here.
repetitive, boring, miserable, hated every second.
It was typical Metallica. Fairly repetitive with occasional frenzied guitar riffs. I like some of their stuff but not really this.
Justice is served. 1 star
It really does sound like a bunch of teenagers masturbating to their guitars and drums. The shrill sound that penetrates the head doesn’t do this album any favours, either. Metallica has released one good studio album, and this one ain’t it.
May the Lord save us from high-pitched, twiddly guitar solos!
Trash
no thanks
trashcan music for trashcan people
I want to preface this with I do not enjoy heavy metal, so I will be biased in saying I did not enjoy this record. More enjoyable than heavier metal sounds, but still, was not for me. Typical progressions and sounds. Weak vocal accompaniments. Very predictable sound structure. Sonically it was fine for heavy metal.
Nope.
⚡🙄
Tien jaar geleden zou ik grote fan geweest zijn, nu niet meer. Zeker geen volledig album.
noise
Tried, but just no
full disrespect fuck that
I liked the slower songs, but most of the album was too thrashy for me
Not my thing, makes me nervous
I don't like Metallica. I've tried to.
false
без баса микс невыносим
Badly recorded garbage
