Wanted to let everyone know, the person spamming the comments about a "giveaway" is not me. It is a scam Also thank you for everyone bringing me up to speed about how the solo is James and Kirk. I am really shocked because I thought it was a bass sound I heard but everyone is saying it was a layered guitar moment. Either way I still enjoyed and thank you everyone for educating me. Thanks again for the support (:
TH-cam has been having an ongoing issue with these scammers impersonating popular TH-camrs and scamming them out of money. I thought that TH-cam got it taken care of, but I guess not.
Unfortunately you cannot hear too much from Jason's part on this album, you know when they recorded it they were still not over their bassist Cliff Burton's tragic death and Lars simply put the bass part down on this album - so I suggest you to try the Justice for Jason version, available on tube, from that day I found it I listen just that, never again this official version!
You should see the live in Seattle 1989 version of this. They open the show with this. You have to see just how badass James Hetfield is the fastest right hand and the master of downpicking. It's a blurr. You will love this album . Love your ability to disect the meaning of the songs. I can't wait for you to get to the last song "Dyer's Eve". You won't have to look far for the meaning of it.
The Seattle '89 "Live Shit" concert should be required viewing for any metal fan. That concert is a blueprint for just how badass a thrash/heavy metal performance should be. Dudes were crushing it 150%
No, she souldn't. At least not for a reaction video. You're just recommending watching exactly the same videos everybody else does. Gosh, a little originality please!
One of my favourite songs by Metallica. Absolutely love the whole section between the second chorus and third verse as well as the way the solo builds and lars being deliberately off beat at the end of the solo and getting back on beat within a couple bars. Very much looking forward to your reaction to "eye of the beholder", "shortest straw'' and "frayed ends of sanity"
As did they tour that went along with it, they would roll into town rape and pillage it, and leave, the raw power and aggression they had in 89/90, will never be duplicated.
Minus the mixing. The bass was left out, on this album. The remix, with Jason's Bass parts brought back in, actually enhances it. And it sounds way better. I can only imagine what it would've sounded like if Robert Trujillo was found by Metallica when they released this album. (But Robert Trujillo was "found" by Suicidal Tendencies and a member of that group/band during this time period.
The Master of Puppets sound is really unmatched. The usage of the bass guitar is unmatched in all of their catalogs the close second is from Ride The Lightning.
During the recording of the album, he probably realized, what kind of arsegate Lars Ulrich really was. "One" is probably about Lars, as if he wanted to say: "Oh, please, kill me! If I have to make one more album with this piece of garbage [or fill in another word of your choice] again..." 😁
The intro is a reverse recording. It was recorded forwards, and then played backwards. It has a neat effect. There are recordings of the section with the original forwards tracking, it sounds cool as well.
That baby rattle sound is the snare drum it has metal rattles under it also the symbols vibrating can make that sound thats why you see drummers pinch them
I’m so glad that this album won because this album is so iconic even with the loss of Cliff Burton. This sound is so heavy and has so many amazing banger’s. I would definitely check out some of the live performances from this era specifically Seattle, 1989. It will blow your mind!
The title track is my favorite song on this album “and Justice for all” although, “Frayed Ends of Sanity” is a close second as well as the instrumental “To Live is to Die”
James Hetfield's singing and his lyrics on this album is his greatest imo. Also as a thrash / heavy metal singer. The combination of everything he does is powerful, aggressive, to the point, and with determination. The MetallicA fans hath spoken! And when they voted this album? Trust me! They know what they're doing. This whole album also should be in that thing that MoP's was placed in back years ago that congress puts albums and anything of significance in music, art, history, and sports that made huge influences on every human being alive. I can't give a favorite song on this album because I love them all. But I can give you my thoughts on some that you may really enjoy. And I love being baked btw 😎. ...And Justice For All is a very long song, but one that I think is composed really well and has that early 18th century, halls of Justice, courtrooms, and the arrogant judge almost walking in like he's a king of sorts. When the beginning of the song starts, that's what I imagine. Eye of the beholder is one that I've seen so many people react to and they are so into how James in 1987-88 wrote a song that speaks about what is going on today and the future. Is he a prophet? Why fuck no! Wel....Maybe he is, lol. He's a great metal/hard rock singer that's for certain, and a great lyricist. Shortest Straw has one of Kirk's best solos, along with the song The Frayed Ends Of Sanity. This song is one that will have you definitely trying to figure out like "How the fudge!?!?" Has a Wizard of Oz feel to it 🤔 MetallicA fans will say. But then it turns into one of the most bad ass riffs in history. And Lars's drumming is off the chain. And last but not least. Those last 2 songs with To Live Is To Die and Dyers Eve. I mean, they will really make your heart bleed. It has to be the most intense emotional rollercoaster of a masterpiece metal magnus opus, that has this final message about Cliff in the beautiful music, and heart wrenching emotions from losing a loved one to being reborn with Cliff Burton and his blessing. That's how MetallicA speaks to you with their instruments. And the last song Dyers Eve will either make you extremely angry or extremely tired from all the thrashing!
I could be wrong, but I always thought this song was an outcry about the way we take our earth for granted, as seen through our often times indiscriminate destruction and pollution of it, and then in turn how that leads to us essentially killing ourselves. We don't have any other planets to call home.
Both this song and "Fight Fire with Fire" from "Ride the Lightning" are about nuclear warfare as well as nuclear winter. "Blackened" was Jason's very first writing credit with Metallica since he came up with the main riff. There's also a lot of fan remixes of this album out there on youtube due to how Jason's bass was turned down to where you can barely hear it.
"Ride The Lightning" is actually a concept song. It's about a man sentenced to death for a crime he didn't commit. The meaning behind the opening lyrics "guilty as charged but damn it, it ain't right" is as follows: you can consider justice having been done simply based on a sentence of "guilty", but that doesn't necessarily mean the person you've sentenced has actually done anything wrong. There are innocent people who get sentenced as guilty as well, even on death row.
Keep in minf that this was the first album after the death Cliff Burton. I think that feelings were very raw still. So when Lars inevitably asked for his drums to be brought to the front, ( like he always does), nobody wanted to argue with him so they just let it go.
@LillyJaneReacts_ You're a scammer..... This is her, Notice the difference that gives you away??? Lilly Jane Reacts, She has a space between her names, You don't. Busted!
Wrong. The black album was the 1st after Cliff’s passing. Newsted replaced Cliff on the black album. Hetfield disliked Newsted and discarded all the bass tracks on this album before dismissing him after this album. Trujillo then came on board.
Burton died in 1986 and the Justice album was released in 1988. Newstead used Burtons recordings as a guide to play on it. James and Jason got along just fine until, by Hetfield's own admission he went overboard on trying to control what everyone was doing. Hetfield always had a fear of losing things ever since his mother died and then Cliff died. Combined with drug addiction it caused him to freak out about Newstead's projects outside the band. He feels very sorry about what he did. But maybe it was for the best. Leson learned.
This album is their best, fantastic memorable Lars Ulrich drum work, James riff work.. its a grower album. Its a masterpiece, still reeling from the loss of Cliff Burton - absence of bass
Great insightful review! I also like your editing style, very quick, fast cuts, no filler bullshit, just get to the point! Excellent video, keep up the great work!
This is in my top 5 of theirs - and is my #1 fav on this album! Love this song. Such a badass song to kick off an album - i remember listening to this album for the first time - that song just set the tone for what was to come!
Seriously… love how you paint the pictures of what you see when these songs roll on, you do a great job at bringing a perspective most probably would have overlooked
Blackened was my intro to Metallica back in '89. as a hardrock newbie at the time AJFA sounded scary af to me. plus you had to really tweek your equaliser to get the album to sound good coming out your stereo. still my favourite amp sound to this day tho.
@LillyJaneReacts_ You're a scammer..... This is her, Notice the difference that gives you away??? Lilly Jane Reacts, She has a space between her names, You don't. Busted!
Just an interesting fact: the intro of this song is actually a guitar part played backwards. So the guys recorded the track in a normal way and on the album you hear this part reversed. That is the reason you felt that sound to be a bit strange.
Absolutely my all-time favorite album. The bit of slack I'll cut Lars for this album is that some of the stuff he's being asked to do are a little more complex than keeping a standard 4/4 beat. This album is the maximum expression of, 'Yes, we're going to make metal songs with movements like concertos' 'Of course an average song length of 7m16s is appropriate' 'I said, 4 time signatures and a couple key changes. Did I stutter?'
I'd say that normally you'd have to listen to the whole thing together ;) Still, I do agree that particularly for To Live Is To Die and Dyers Eve on this. Masterpieces from that time were so great to listen from front to end. That's how we were experiencing new records... Ah ! I miss these times... Nowadays, vast majority of people don't care about this. Nostalgia.
James and Lars and Kirk were hurting after Cliff died so James said they on purpose cranked the guitar chunk and drums so they didn’t have to think about or hear bass. Understood to a degree. They were young.
Great reaction Lilly! As you noticed, this album has some strange mixing/production compared to their prior albums. The frequency of the guitars clip out periodically and make that warbling sound (the airplane). The drums are tuned an EQ’d with a lot of high end giving them a dry feel, and the kick drum is EQ’d to give a clicking sound. The bass guitar is almost non-existent. Having said that, us die hard Metallica fans who grew up on this album love the quirky mixing of it because it gives it a unique charm of its own. Also, the song writing and arrangement of each track is amazing.
To be fair, this version she is listening to doesnt sound right either. If its played from a youtube fan video, chances are its horribly compressed even further.
And Justice for all contains the last song Cliff Burton was a part of To Live Is to die. I love this album, but to feel Cliff's ghost playing through Jason is just haunting, and magnificent.
According to Michael Wagener, the guy who mixed the Master of Puppets album, James and Lars would argue with each other in the studio about who should have the louder mix. James would insist the guitars needed to be turned up, while Lars would argue no, the drums needed to be instead. What both always agreed with each other on was that the bass needed to be turned down. Wagener said he got so frustrated listening to them argue every day that he would just go ahead and adjust the volume of everything as they demanded, and then wait till they left for the day before he readjusted everything. Steve Thompson and Michael Barbiero mixed the Justice album. They tell the same story about James and Lars that Wagener tells, but with one exception. They didn't reset anything. They instead let James and Lars have their way. That's why the album's mix sounds so wonky.
Favourite song of this Album, yes. When this was released, we had to listen to it a couple of times as out expectations were so high after Masters, and the long wait.
Great reaction as always Lilly,I think the justice album is also amazing!!! My favorite song from this album would be ‘Dyer’s Eve’ can’t wait for your reaction to it!!!
Favorite justice tracks are Blackened, ...AJFA, Eye of the beholder....actually if I continue this list it would just be the whole album....my favorite album of all time
For the long haul Metallica fans this was a breakthrough, but better sweet album. we finally got our radio play 5 years into our sonic takeover, but this album is full of rage because of cliff's death, and the critics can't find Jason's Bass because he's in landlock ith James but this was our breakthrough album when mainstream camre to us The Metallifans
One of my favoirte Metallica Albums! you wont find one bad song on this album the whole album is great! this is also the album that introduced me to Metallica way back in 88 at 12.
You can tune a drum kit. You can tighten the skins on the drum. Also, if you want the bass drum to sound better, you can put a pillow in the bass drum to make these sound deeper. I saw this tour in 1989 and it was amazing.
So, yes, this is about the end of the world, but not because of nuclear fallout, because of common everyday polution. So in a way quite ahead of its time.
We bought this album the day it came out, my friend and I, and we felt the same way Lily Jane. Then we both realized we couldn't hear the bass! No bottom end unless the whole damn band was doubling the bass drum. It's been controversial ever since....And Justice for Jason!

I love Metallica and this is by far my favorite Album. Just straight perfection from Track 1 to the end!
Probably cause they was pissed off at burton dying

best album
The opening 30 seconds is a masterpiece within itself! Recorded backwards!
You mean played in reverse.
@@zane4575Exactly. It was recorded normally then played in reverse and recorded again and mixed with the rest of the song.
This was their best album in my opinion. They perfected their sound and aesthetic on this one.
this or master of puppets for me, i jump between the two like every 2 years.
Minus the mixing. The bass was left out, on this album. The remix, with Jason's Bass parts brought back in, actually enhances it. And it sounds way better. I can only imagine what it would've sounded like if Robert Trujillo was found by Metallica when they released this album. (But Robert Trujillo was "found" by Suicidal Tendencies and a member of that group/band during this time period.
blackened with bass enhanced is the best song ever created
I think all the bass players out there will disagree with that opinion!
The Master of Puppets sound is really unmatched. The usage of the bass guitar is unmatched in all of their catalogs the close second is from Ride The Lightning.
I love James's vocals on this album- very angry tone.
During the recording of the album, he probably realized, what kind of arsegate Lars Ulrich really was. "One" is probably about Lars, as if he wanted to say: "Oh, please, kill me! If I have to make one more album with this piece of garbage [or fill in another word of your choice] again..." 😁

There is a whole story about Lars's amplified Drumming and the lack of Jason's bass on this album.
Jason was new and the guys were hazing him. Also it was to honor Cliff
@@BrandonTK no you dont.
Here we go again...
I agree drumming not great. Nick Menza blows Lars away. However I reckon AJFA is thier best album and Cliff is overrated. Marginally ahead of Masters.
@@bobdeal8282 ...I'm not sure, but you might have just become the first person ever in the history of time to say that Cliff Burton was overrated.
Love the drums and the quirky mix on this album!
Unfortunately she listened to a bad version of the song because the sound isn't right
Blackened and One are two of Metallica’s best songs. Especially performed live.
i think memory remains is up there
crowd interaction
The title track is my favorite song on this album “and Justice for all” although, “Frayed Ends of Sanity” is a close second as well as the instrumental “To Live is to Die”

You should see Dyers eve from this album, fucking killer
☠️When hetfield's Voice had more distortion than his guitar!☠️ As always, awesome vídeo 🤘🔥
My favorite off this album, next you should listen to Dyer's Eve.🤘
This was my first concert when I was 13 along with queensryche
Mine as well, up here in Canada
This was a hell of a way to open an album, just like Fight Fire with Fire was for Ride the Lightning
Blackened was my intro to Metallica back in '89. as a hardrock newbie at the time AJFA sounded scary af to me. plus you had to really tweek your equaliser to get the album to sound good coming out your stereo. still my favourite amp sound to this day tho.

I love this song live. The studio version are cleaner than I like. Got to put some stank on it , but still great. God the " riffs " love it 🔥🤘😃👍

Just an interesting fact: the intro of this song is actually a guitar part played backwards. So the guys recorded the track in a normal way and on the album you hear this part reversed. That is the reason you felt that sound to be a bit strange.
It's four guitars
Hands down, One is the best track on the album.
Happy Friday. I hope you are doing good tonight and Metallica's Blackend is still a classic thrash metal song after 35 years today.
The Frayed Ends of Sanity is my favourite from this masterpiece!
Drums are sick on this track..
It's an album done on music theory. They wrote all the music on paper first. It is one of the best albums
Deadly nicotine was a reference to the power and prolific addiction to nuclear supremacy
Love this intro
Kirk and Lars best performace on an album! Especially Shortest Straw.
I used to blast this record on my work place on full blast to the point supervisor said I need to lower volume on my radio.
That is a great shirt girl! Thank you for this reaction :)
Absolutely my all-time favorite album. The bit of slack I'll cut Lars for this album is that some of the stuff he's being asked to do are a little more complex than keeping a standard 4/4 beat. This album is the maximum expression of,
'Yes, we're going to make metal songs with movements like concertos'
'Of course an average song length of 7m16s is appropriate'
'I said, 4 time signatures and a couple key changes. Did I stutter?'
I like everything about this album.
You are in for a treat with this album. But in case no one tells you, you need to listen to the last two songs together.
I'd say that normally you'd have to listen to the whole thing together ;) Still, I do agree that particularly for To Live Is To Die and Dyers Eve on this. Masterpieces from that time were so great to listen from front to end. That's how we were experiencing new records... Ah ! I miss these times... Nowadays, vast majority of people don't care about this. Nostalgia.
Yeah, and the same about Orion and Damage Inc, from Master Of Puppets
As a drummer. We use wooden beeters with wood dots on the drums. Anthrax does the same thing
James and Lars and Kirk were hurting after Cliff died so James said they on purpose cranked the guitar chunk and drums so they didn’t have to think about or hear bass. Understood to a degree. They were young.
Pretty petty 😂
Great reaction Lilly!
As you noticed, this album has some strange mixing/production compared to their prior albums. The frequency of the guitars clip out periodically and make that warbling sound (the airplane).

Favorite justice tracks are

Out of all the awesome tracks on this album, i'd have to say "To Live is To Die" is my personal favorite!!!

Lars drum tuning thru the 1st 4 albums is top notch... idk what you're talkin about
One of my favoirte Metallica Albums! you wont find one bad song on this album the whole album is great! this is also the album that introduced me to Metallica way back in 88 at 12.
Man I love that solo lol so goooood!
You can tune a drum kit. You can tighten the skins on the drum. Also, if you want the bass drum to sound better, you can put a pillow in the bass drum to make these sound deeper. I saw this tour in 1989 and it was amazing.
Lets gooo, shes reacting to And Justice For All!!
Hope you’re doing good
The drums probably sound weirder because of the quality of that video specifically
Finally - "And Justice for All" and Us!
A great album I think it's my favorite! Great reaction! It the chaos the guitar In stills into the brain!
this song is a masterpiece
So, yes, this is about the end of the world, but not because of nuclear fallout, because of common everyday polution. So in a way quite ahead of its time.
Being teen in the 80s, I go back to kill them all and ride the lightning but this was definitely a great album.
my favorite album by Metallica ever thank you for going through this album
When asked fav Metallica album my answer is always mood of the day either master or justice back n forth
We bought this album the day it came out, my friend and I, and we felt the same way Lily Jane. Then we both realized we couldn't hear the bass! No bottom end unless the whole damn band was doubling the bass drum. It's been controversial ever since....And Justice for Jason!
Harvester of Sorrow is my favorite song on this album
as 23 yrs fan a saw that hook in her eyes @0:58 x)
Awesome 🤘
Early Maiden with Paul Di'Anno is also awesome. Wrathchild, Phantom of the Opera, Iron Maiden(the song) Killers, and so on...
My favorite on the album is eye of the beholder, closely followed by the title track, and harvester of sorrow.
The subject matter! The chorus too! Solos!
The song and justice for all has some of my favorite drumming from lars
A Banger for sure
that breakdown right after the solo is one of my all time favorite Metallica moments 🤘
Harvester of sorrow and eye of the beholder are my favorites from this album
they dropped Newsteads bass down on this album, brought in more drums and Rythm guitar. Find the video where Jason heard the final cut. Not amused
I bought this album in 6th grade and this was 1st track…instantly loved Metallica
Color all with Blackened!! BLACKENED!!!!
🤘🏻🤘🏻🔥💀
Note: This song sounds killer with the bass remixed where you can hear it.
The intro was actually recorded and then played backwords
And justice for all and to live is to die < my fav instrumental> both EPIC.
