Metallica – …And Justice For All (Remastered)

180-gram double LP

The No. 5 Greatest Heavy Metal Album Of All Time! — Rolling Stone Reader’s Poll

Remastered edition of …And Justice for All on 180-gram vinyl. Double LP. Includes an MP3 download card.

…And Justice for All is the fourth studio album by American heavy metal band Metallica, released in August 1988 by Elektra Records. It was the band’s first studio album to feature bassist Jason Newsted after the death of Cliff Burton in 1986.

…And Justice for All is musically progressive, with long and complex songs, fast tempos, and few verse-chorus structures. The album is noted for its dry, sterile production, which producer Flemming Rasmussen attributed to his absence during the mixing process. The lyrics feature themes of political and legal injustice seen through the prism of war, censored speech, and nuclear brinkmanship.

The album’s front cover, designed by Stephen Gorman on a scheme by James Hetfield and Lars Ulrich, features a representation of Lady Justice. The phrase “…And Justice for All” appears spray-painted in the lower right corner. The album title is derived from the American Pledge of Allegiance.

…And Justice for All was acclaimed by music critics. It was included in The Village Voice’s annual Pazz & Jop critics’ poll of the year’s best albums, and the single “One” earned Metallica its first Grammy Award for Best Metal Performance in 1990. The group’s best-selling album at the time, it was the first underground metal album to achieve chart success in the United States. The album was certified 8× platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) in 2003 for shipping 8 million copies in the U.S., making it Metallica’s second best selling album.
