this is like the crisp military precision of Justice, reverb-heavy booming sound of Ride the Lightning, and the clean and even mixing of Master of Puppets all mixed together and balanced just right. this is the definitive version of blackened to me
"Millions of our years! In minutes disappears!" This song plunges you into the deepest depths of despair, yet simultaneously instills a sense that you can personally move mountains. Such a perfect choice to lead off the Justice album and the 1989 tour. I thought the arena was going to explode.
I think that AJFA is up there along with RTL or MOP as Metallica’s best album. You can tell they put their own hearts and souls into it, and to me is Metallica’s grief album after Cliff’s death
The intro to blackened is one of the best metal song intros ever written and recorded. I get goosebumps every time I hear it. It's timeless and absolutely ahead of it's time. Just my 2c.
If you listen to the rough mixes from the remastered box set the majority of the bass is still there and audible. Although on some songs you don't have much vocals to any vocals, but instrumentally it's amazing
@@bryansteele832 Naah - listen to any Motorhead song or most of Pantera songs. The bass here is accurate. Audible and distinct enough and makes for a very important part for not only rhytmic but also melodic line - which is so cool. And I say it as a bassist too.
This is one of the only remixes/remasters of this song I’ve seen on TH-cam that actually sounds like a professional mix. Most that I’ve heard have turned the bass up WAY too loud, to the point at which it’s just overwhelming and diluting of the overall sound.
eeeehhhhhhhhhhhhh it's way too loud here too. Keeps distracting me from the guitars. And the obnoxious effect on James pushing his voice back too. This is not good.
I'd rather try to imagine the songs they would've made if Cliff was still with us. To me, they should've changed their name. They're not the real Metallica any more
Isn't that what gives metal it raw power. Bass keeps the solid sound and intent . look at Sabbath , imagine them with geezers bass turned down. But Lars is a egomaniac
This song is pure blistering thrash. It’s about as absolutely perfect as thrash can get but when you can properly hear Jason’s bass performance there is a new level of anxiety and energy that I didn’t know I wanted. Unbelievably heavy and aggressive.
That mix is just insane! I'm hearing things I've never heard before. And the bass is not just turned all the way up like many others did, it's properly mixed here. The low-ends on the drums are a big plus too.
What I’ll never understand is being able to sacrifice the sound of a whole album because you can’t accept you have a new bassist after the first one tragically died.
Mirej Botica because Lars is a dick and shit on Jason. Jason’s parts in this album were master pieces of bass playing. Fuck Lars. He used to be my favorite drummer until I found better players. He’s an asshole.
@@VanAnon51 Same. When I first started playing drums he was one of my favorites...and then as I continued my musical journey, I realized he's not even top 50. And having seen him live recently it seems he can't even do half the stuff he did in the 80s and 90s anymore. I mean, come on, he's only 55!
@Cyan YT Lars was actually responsible for fucking the bass, according to mixer Steve Thompson. Lars basically said "Yeah, you know that bass track? Bring it down 7-8dB" and the rest is history. I think Jason said the bass was his fault in order to be nice and not throw Lars under the bus. And Jason's bass on Garage Days a year prior is very much audible, so it's not like it's the fault of his actual bass either.
@@VanAnon51 this song was written by jason. I dont know how people think they hated jason so much when the first song on their album was written by him. Dont think a band would do that if they hated him. Lmao
This remix really highlights the pure evil that is James' vocals. I never appreciated the sheer amount of grit and growl in his voice until hearing this.
I am such a purist.. I usually hate remixed/remastered versions of stuff, but damnit the world needed this.. whoever did this killed it!🤘🤘🤘 That growling bass, very reminiscent of D.D. Verni (Overkill). Its a perfect fit. If that is Jason Newsted's original bass track brought to the front, James and the boys should be very ashamed of themselves for the original release.
@@Frank-ww4fo Idk man, the original bass track is available on TH-cam so I’d suspect that’s what was used here. Tone sounds exactly like Ahdy’s other remixes from this album as well. Either way it sounds fucking killer
@@User-jk8wq I thought it sounds exactly like the bass track used on the "Justice for Jason" remix which is taken from the said live show, but yeah, maybe he just replicated his studio work 100% live. Anyway, it's great and the remixed Blackened is a totally different experience from the "Ulrich" mix
Noah Ranker Dude, he simply can’t do better than this cause he doesn’t have the MASTER TRACKS. This mix isn’t exactly bad, but still is slightly worse than the original at some points. I think the guy who did this remix did a somewhat good job with what he had. I still think AJFA should be remixed, at its master tracks, to make the bass a tad bit more audible
I think that Blackened is my favorite Metallica song ( not an easy conclusion!). The intro, the riff, the lyrics, Jame's voice, the drums, the solo, the vibe, the aggression, EVERYTHING is so perfect! It changed my life!!!
I have to agree, when talking about over-all sound when a group of instruments play together the bass is turned up to loud when you hear the bass line being played through the music... (I really dont think a word of that made any bit of sense)
It's more like Jason used the wrong bass for the song. Sounds like a rickenbacker or something. Cliff used a rickenbacker but his playing style was different.
@Eternal Rambler i read as well Jason felt partly to blame. Due to playing the same frequency as James but. Loads of bassists did this in metal. I dont think he needs to carry any of the guilt for his bass being muted. His playing was exceptional on this record u can hear he was playing his soul out here probably trying to prove himself only for his efforts to be crushed. Ill only listen to bass enhanced songs off this album now. Justice for Jason..
@Tyler Clark i loveee the solo to RTL. I just mainly have trouble with the picking patterns. my left hand can keep up with the fingerings, but i can't pick it😂
I can understand the grief over the loss of cliff and them so young with no idea on how to cope the loss of a brother, there’s no words to explain this, and the hazing part almost seems like the norm when coming in to something soo immense like Metallica, and being the new guy that takes place anywhere especially with men lol but aside all that if someone talked to these guys before fucking Jason over and told them “how do you think cliff would feel if he knew you guys were doing this to Jason?” The man that would continue carrying the torch for this group as its bass player. I don’t think cliff would approve.
This is literally THE best remastered version of the Justice stuff I've heard. Sounds natural, not like somebody just exported the Guitar Hero baseline and threw it underneath. Props!
Better than the last one! Bass is loud and audible but doesn't overshadow everything!!! Also love how much more clear the vocals are Keep up the work! do the WHOLE album The world of METAL NEEDS IT
The bass is too loud for Metallica and is clearly overshadowing the guitars and the vocals. I like the clearer (no clipping) vocals and guitars though.
Victor Mats I've always thought metallic should've turned up the bass a bit. All of their bassists have great lines. Hell, Bob Rock made sure every album, "Black Album" onwards, had audible bass If you want massive bass done right, check out "severed survival" by Autopsy
My favourite Metallica album, listened to it over and over again, still do. Heard this and didn't know what to think at first, so used to hearing the studio version. Thought it sounded a bit like the black album, but the more I listen to it the more I'm getting used to it and the more I'm liking Justice with bass.
I agree. It sounds like maybe some slight chorus or maybe the reverb was upped - this is not the master vocal. Overall, it is like a mix of reverb and maybe a slight slapback delay, almost going for the massive sound, but it just sounds odd.
Amazing take, this. Everyone mentions the bass, and the entire song sounds so good and so clean here, but the thing that REALLY elevates this version is James's vocals. They're so in-your-face and aggro. Absolutely perfect for this song.
Dude you seriously have a talent remixing these metallica songs. I was so blown away with this remix that I prefer it over the original man. Incredible job 👏
Come and play the original album on my stereo setup, and tell me where it's sounding thin..... The bass makes it sound so muddy and flubby. Lars kick drum really stands out, rather than smothered in bass guitar. Best album hands down, then MOP.
@@Tex84 i know its a joke but cancel culture has always existed lol, just that it has only been given a name in recent years and attributed to liberals
Base or not, I cranked this album through a carver amp, top of the line realistic speakers w/ 15” woofers. Shook the house. This album was made to play at extreme volumes! Especially Blackened. 50 years old and still love the older Metallica.
It's the consequence of the bass not being heard in the original. People feel they need to have it stand out far more than it should be just to prove a point rather than musically having it centered as it ought to be.
Best song on ...And Justice For All, in my opinion. One is a close 2nd. Oh and here are the lyrics: Blackened is the end Winter it will send Throwing all you see Into obscurity Death of Mother Earth Never a rebirth Evolution's end Never will it mend Never Fire To begin whipping dance of the dead Blackened is the end To begin whipping dance of the dead Color our world blackened Blistering of earth Terminate its worth Deadly nicotine Kills what might have been Callous frigid chill Nothing left to kill Never seen before Breathing nevermore Never Fire To begin whipping dance of the dead Blackened is the end To begin whipping dance of the dead Color our world blackened
Blackened Opposition...contradiction...premonition...compromise Agitation...violation...mutilation...planet dies Darkest color Blistered earth True death of life Termination...expiration...cancellation...human race Expectation...liberation...population...lay to waste See our mother Put to death See our mother die Smoldering decay Take her breath away Millions of our years In minutes disappears Darkening in vain Decadence remains All is said and done Never is the sun Never Fire To begin whipping dance of the dead Blackened is the end To begin whipping dance of the dead Fire Is the outcome of hypocrisy Darkest potency In the exit of humanity Color our world blackened
I agree, I'd also add that To Live is To Die is incredible. I'm not sure where to place it but I find that song more beautiful than One. It's in a different category. Justice is probably my favourite Metallica album.
I really like Blackened, but AJFA has so many GOD tier songs, its insane! If I were to put a rating list it would probably go something like this: Blackened (amazing thrash masterpiece) Dyers Eve (ANOTHER incredible thrash masterpiece) Frayed Ends of Sanity (one of the best prog metal songs ever written honestly) To Live is To Die (their best instrumental, its just amazing) One (spectacular ballad, mindblowing as fuck!) And Justice for All (compliation of a ton of absolute killer) Eye of The Beholder (very unusual structure, very different from everything else, an amazinf song for sure) Shortest Straw (yet ANOTHER awesome thrash masterpiece) Harvester of Sorrow (a great heavy metal song)
Justice was and is perfect. The remaster has too much reverb on his voice, and bass too loud. Don't know if it's my cell phone, but the volume seems to swell sometimes
Voltscream after you download it the quality of the song will be same good as an song bought from Google play or itunes. And if you use an good music player like jet audio plus the quality of the song will be 1000× better than is on you tube
This only just popped into my recommendations. This get a like and sub just due to that I can actually hear the bass. Also, this is one hellva remix and remaster.
Stereo snare, this time...? Yes! Everything sounds balanced and full. I wasn't sure how I felt about the vocals, at first, but they make everything sound spacious and wide--precisely what the original recording lacked; it was flat as a tire, this is rich and clear. The harmonies soar, that bass purrs and supports the rhythm, nothing drowns the other out. It all builds with clarity. Love it. :)
It seems like the vocals have a lot of Reverb added and technique they're using or started using after the Black Album a lot it's a great fan edit it's awesome to actually hear bass guitar they were such dicks to Jason Newsted after Cliff died we heard no base ever like barely
Same feelings here! The vocals bugged me a little at first because they sounded like they had reverb or could've been faded slightly at the end so the release wasn't as "long"... but after a few listens it fills in that space nicely where it would've otherwise been filled with, like, Lar's snares or cymbals or some shit haha.
Bro this is s pretty pure and amazing remaster and remix. I love that the bass doesn’t saturate the whole mix but also doesn’t sit inaudible in the mix. It’s in there and plays the role needed. Great work
Or what he could do is give it away for free with a mandatory tip, that's so you get sued because your not selling the music but by having a mandatory tip your still making money.
Dude, you are a God among men. You have fixed what has plagued And Justice For All for 30 plus years. I have always felt that it’s was the best Metallica album musically and lyrically. But it was rendered nearly impossible to listen to because of the way it was mixed. The non existent bass guitar, the incredibly overpowered bass drum, the manufactured rhythm guitar, and that horrendous “humming” bass resonance that would distort even the highest end sound systems. I don’t know what kind on crack Metallica was on when they originally produced this album. I don’t know how they could have listened to it on play back and thought that was the best they could do. It’s just soooooo overproduced. I’ve always thought that it would be far and away the best Metallica album if it just sounded like Garage Days Re-revisited. You have fixed pretty much everything wrong with it. Your version is 1000 times better than the original. Thank you, thank you, thank you for this. I’ve listened to your efforts on And Justice for All, Blackened, and Harvester or Sorrow. Please tell me there’s more you’ve done with this album. This is just amazing stuff.
You thought the original kick was overpowering? I thought it was too weak and clicky. And the snare/tom combo fared no better in the original mix. Lyrically and musically, it was a shade above MASTER, but in terms of production quality, this sits below ST. ANGER, and that thing has a SHITTY production. But this...this feels much more lively, more PRESENT.
I been obsessed with music since I was a little child. I had phases with different genres through out my life because Ive always been open minded with music. This entire album by Metallica is the greatest piece of artwork ever out together that I have ever heard in my entire life. And I say that with my entire soul!
Ahdy's obra maestra of remastering tipping the scales to make Blackened Metallica's obra maestra. I was on the fence as to what Metallica's best song is...hearing all of the instruments at their maximum potential here tips me over to Blackened. So much to like: the goosebump-provoking intro, Jason's main riff, the breakdown and the crushing bulldozer slow riff in the middle, the bridge that evokes the chorus and blasts the 2nd half of the solo into warp drive, Lars' "happy accident" time change after the solo, Hetfield's vocals..."DAR-KEST PO-TEN CE-E-EEE!" This is peak Ahdy and peak Metallica. (No disrespect to Cliff...he definitely influenced their songwriting here.) 🔥🔥🔥

"Millions of our years! In minutes disappears!" This song plunges you into the deepest depths of despair, yet simultaneously instills a sense that you can personally move mountains. Such a perfect choice to lead off the Justice album and the 1989 tour. I thought the arena was going to explode.

Truth. I want the entire album remixed by Ahdy on vinyl. His mixes make the originals irrelevant.
Just imagine how the reception would have been back in '88 if the album would have been mixed like this.
This album and Rust in Peace might have single-handedly put an end to US thrash, due to the impossibility of topping them.
They would ask why it has so much bass tbh

This is litterally the album every single Metallica fan seems to pick out as their best album. Shame Lars ruined it.

He put some Smells like Teen Spirit in there!
@@demianstohr2422 Yea I could see that
@@gregtheflyingwhale6480 smells like what
@@gregtheflyingwhale6480 wouldn't it be the other way around? 🤔 Like Dave Grohl put Blackened in Smells Like Teen Spirit
The intro always gets my skin on edge before the drums kick in,not to say the whole song is a master piece.
the intro the definition of fire
Love the bass chugging.. reminds me of some earlier Overkill "years of decay" comes to mind.
I thought the exact same thing
Holy shit lol I was thinking the same thing while listening to this ! 🤘
Hell yeah, now that you said that... i think you´re right! "Years of Decay", such an amazing release!
All of the Overkill albums have really good bass
"Open your mouth one more time and my foot's going down"
I can understand the grief over the loss of cliff and them so young with no idea on how to cope the loss of a brother, there’s no words to explain this, and the hazing part almost seems like the norm when coming in to something soo immense like Metallica, and being the new guy that takes place anywhere especially with men lol but aside all that if someone talked to these guys before fucking Jason over and told them “how do you think cliff would feel if he knew you guys were doing this to Jason?” The man that would continue carrying the torch for this group as its bass player. I don’t think cliff would approve.
This is literally THE best remastered version of the Justice stuff I've heard. Sounds natural, not like somebody just exported the Guitar Hero baseline and threw it underneath. Props!
Who else loves the intro to the song?
Me. Its a backwards recording, there's videos of it played the other way around, sounds just as sick
Not only intro. This song is the one of the best.
My fifteen year old brain was like wtf is this that Im hearing but that becomes a normal when listening to Metallicas first albums
I do ...and I feel like this is the only thing I like
Who doesn’t
1:21 One of the greatest riff ever writen in the history!
Jason is amazing for writing that
'
xEurynome Jason wrote it.
xEurynome he wrote the main riff also
of Sorrow
of sorrow
What I really love about this song is how that snare totally changes the feel of the opening riff! So cool!
Insane job with this. So much depth and space in the mix, it's sublime. Amazing job!
Late 80s Metallica will always be the DEFINITIVE Metallica for me. R.I.P. Cliff but God damn James looked awesome during this era.
Fuck yeah bro
YEYEAH!
No true metallica is 85 through 86 with cliff, and I personally liked James with little to no facial hair.....maybe some sideburn action but that's it
@@nebula556 Stop it lol "true Metallica" was 83-91
@@jonpresley1163 It was everything before the Black Album....yes.
Better than the last one!
Bass is loud and audible but doesn't overshadow everything!!!
Also love how much more clear the vocals are
Keep up the work!
do the WHOLE album
The world of METAL NEEDS IT
The bass is too loud for Metallica and is clearly overshadowing the guitars and the vocals. I like the clearer (no clipping) vocals and guitars though.
Victor Mats
I've always thought metallic should've turned up the bass a bit.
All of their bassists have great lines.
Hell, Bob Rock made sure every album, "Black Album" onwards, had audible bass
If you want massive bass done right, check out "severed survival" by Autopsy
John Doe its been done look up and justice for jason
Baby Skullz
I know and I love it.
But this version is what would most likely an OFFICIAL remaster would sound like
This is my fav bass mix so far, but still don't like the drums. not fat enough, no balls.
My favourite Metallica album, listened to it over and over again, still do. Heard this and didn't know what to think at first, so used to hearing the studio version. Thought it sounded a bit like the black album, but the more I listen to it the more I'm getting used to it and the more I'm liking Justice with bass.
One of the best metal song ever, now with bass!
Awesome.
Sick remix. Some slightly dodgy reverb on Hetfield's vocals, but generally, excellent!
I'm almost certain that was in the studio version as well after listening to both tracks back to back unless we're talking about two different things.
I agree. It sounds like maybe some slight chorus or maybe the reverb was upped - this is not the master vocal. Overall, it is like a mix of reverb and maybe a slight slapback delay, almost going for the massive sound, but it just sounds odd.
@@afrocoolio25 I thought the same thing. Other than that it sounds awesome.
I like the reverb, it reminds me of Puppets vocals.
"Never a reverb!"
Is that....
*BASS?!*
DAT BOOTY
Epico
Davie504 approves this version
Skywarp Fuck Davie
Yes. Beautiful.
THIS IS A WHOLE NEW SONG!!!!
It sounds phenomenal, the only little issue I have is with vocals - feels like they're a bit distorted due to very tight compressing.
This is exactly what I've been saying about Metallica for decades... more cowbell.
Can you explain this joke?
Absolutely.
stirge fluton hahahahaha brilliant. Indeed more cowbell
Sisu Extreme don’t fear the reaper skit with Christopher Wallken. To funny but so apt hear
@@sisuextreme6479 look up SNL cowbell skit
Amazing take, this. Everyone mentions the bass, and the entire song sounds so good and so clean here, but the thing that REALLY elevates this version is James's vocals. They're so in-your-face and aggro. Absolutely perfect for this song.
Dude you seriously have a talent remixing these metallica songs. I was so blown away with this remix that I prefer it over the original man. Incredible job 👏
I LOVE coming back and listening to this!
There was always something in the original mix that made it sound so thin, this definitely fixed it
Nose
BASSically...
Totally agree, I never realised I couldn't hear the bass I'm this song until now. It sounds so much fatter
Also, reminds me of Dave Ramsay Style. Ness
Come and play the original album on my stereo setup, and tell me where it's sounding thin..... The bass makes it sound so muddy and flubby. Lars kick drum really stands out, rather than smothered in bass guitar. Best album hands down, then MOP.
There was barely any bass guitar at all in the original (volume wise)
Cancelation human race - heard you James, heard you.
Obviously they knew back in the 80s....what else did they try and tell you?
Liberals listening in 2020: "That James Hetfield has some good ideas. 'Cancellation human race'? Let's do that!"
@@Tex84 i know its a joke but cancel culture has always existed lol, just that it has only been given a name in recent years and attributed to liberals
That bridge reminds you how legendary these guys are
Base or not, I cranked this album through a carver amp, top of the line realistic speakers w/ 15” woofers. Shook the house. This album was made to play at extreme volumes! Especially Blackened. 50 years old and still love the older Metallica.
I don't see why people say the bass is too loud, it gives the mix a really good low end
They mean the bass on the original song, not on this remix.
It's the consequence of the bass not being heard in the original. People feel they need to have it stand out far more than it should be just to prove a point rather than musically having it centered as it ought to be.
They say it’s loud because they’re used to not hearing it at all.
Nope, it's too loud, it's not correctly mixed.
Best song on ...And Justice For All, in my opinion. One is a close 2nd. Oh and here are the lyrics:
Blackened is the end
Winter it will send
Throwing all you see
Into obscurity
Death of Mother Earth
Never a rebirth
Evolution's end
Never will it mend
Never
Fire
To begin whipping dance of the dead
Blackened is the end
To begin whipping dance of the dead
Color our world blackened
Blistering of earth
Terminate its worth
Deadly nicotine
Kills what might have been
Callous frigid chill
Nothing left to kill
Never seen before
Breathing nevermore
Never
Fire
To begin whipping dance of the dead
Blackened is the end
To begin whipping dance of the dead
Color our world blackened
Blackened
Opposition...contradiction...premonition...compromise
Agitation...violation...mutilation...planet dies
Darkest color
Blistered earth
True death of life
Termination...expiration...cancellation...human race
Expectation...liberation...population...lay to waste
See our mother
Put to death
See our mother die
Smoldering decay
Take her breath away
Millions of our years
In minutes disappears
Darkening in vain
Decadence remains
All is said and done
Never is the sun
Never
Fire
To begin whipping dance of the dead
Blackened is the end
To begin whipping dance of the dead
Fire
Is the outcome of hypocrisy
Darkest potency
In the exit of humanity
Color our world blackened
Blackened
I agree, I'd also add that To Live is To Die is incredible. I'm not sure where to place it but I find that song more beautiful than One. It's in a different category. Justice is probably my favourite Metallica album.
... And Justice For All is the Metallica's masterpiece. Great from beginning to end. And better even when you let the bass audible.
I really like Blackened, but AJFA has so many GOD tier songs, its insane! If I were to put a rating list it would probably go something like this:
Blackened (amazing thrash masterpiece)
Dyers Eve (ANOTHER incredible thrash masterpiece)
Frayed Ends of Sanity (one of the best prog metal songs ever written honestly)
To Live is To Die (their best instrumental, its just amazing)
One (spectacular ballad, mindblowing as fuck!)
And Justice for All (compliation of a ton of absolute killer)
Eye of The Beholder (very unusual structure, very different from everything else, an amazinf song for sure)
Shortest Straw (yet ANOTHER awesome thrash masterpiece)
Harvester of Sorrow (a great heavy metal song)
This album is godly Right next to ride the lightning so Many good track's and James vocals were at it's peak
harvester of sorrow is my personal favorite. justice is easily my favorite metallica album. rock on friend 🤟🏼
This guy is a pro! You can clearly hear Jason's bass and it's definitely been formatted for today's devices!!!🤘🤘🤘
Holy shit the production is amazing, really thickens it with the bass
now this is how AJFA should sound like..instead of hitting u with a whip, it now hits like a sledgehammer..
the sound engineer was a dick at the time. this sounds awesome. amazing work!
AJFA is good as it is. Stop bitching
yea ajfa is good as it is but this is even better
@@elmeriputkonen4875 to much bass
@Dave E It is heavier with very quiet bass. I agree with @Lurgen
That's how the album should have been recorded.
Justice was and is perfect. The remaster has too much reverb on his voice, and bass too loud. Don't know if it's my cell phone, but the volume seems to swell sometimes
@Eternal Rambler
Sorry. I'm commenting on the remaster.
The original was perfect. I'll edit
The bass is just too loud and bad
This mix has me FUCKED UP DUDE this sounds like Seattle but studio quality
@@riffhousestudios96 i thought the same thing, especially the vocals
At last we can notice that Jason Newsted also recorded this album.
Thanks for sharing this outstanding remix .
I had probably not listened to this song for more than 10 years. I didn't remember it being so brutal...
I still don't know if bass is too loud or I just can't get used to bass in AJFA tracks.
Probably the latter
Danko Hidalgo Gutiérrez no it’s not. It blends in very well. Makes it even heavier.
It's too loud. The Black album has the best produced bass, and it's incorporated perfectly in the mix. Here it just overpowers the guitars.
yeah. its a little loud. or just a lot better defined than the mushy overdubbed guitars.
cool project though! Great work Ahdy!
Sorry guys but ajfa is ajfa and bass is totally unnecessary there
Damn if you get around to remixing the whole thing, please provide an option to download it in a good bitrate
stereo mix
th-cam.com/users/results?search_query=and+justice+for+all+remixed
SepticSchizo955 if you want to dowland it use TUBE MATE search on TH-cam how to download music from TH-cam whit TUBE MTE
Robert Robert Thing about that, though, is that TH-cam's bitrate is pretty meh. The quality for audio isn't great.
Voltscream after you download it the quality of the song will be same good as an song bought from Google play or itunes. And if you use an good music player like jet audio plus the quality of the song will be 1000× better than is on you tube
I physically cannot stop headbanging while listening to this. Much better mixed like this.
I still cant believe that Jason wrote the beginning riff
Frayed ends of Sanity maybe yes :))))))))))))
Would be cool, but there's no stems available, I think =/
Andriy Vasylenko Hey what if you just send him your bass cover frieeeend
Dr Falcon no way, it's awful)
In my opinion, the best song in the album
So plzzzzzzzz
This song never appeared in either Guitar Hero or Rock Band, so there are only remasters of what has been released from the albums.
This was my gift to myself after a try not to headbang challenge
I'm listening to this at work and I yelled out loud "OH IT'S GOT BASS IN IT!!" made a 10/10 song go to a 13/10
This only just popped into my recommendations. This get a like and sub just due to that I can actually hear the bass.
Also, this is one hellva remix and remaster.
Finally. Blackened with balls.
Black.
You misspelled "Bass" lol 😎
@@aldoparziale2631 STOP THAT FUCKING ANNOYING DEAD MEME
@@aldoparziale2631 There is bass but quiet...
@@poliszslaw5499 jeez relax
Stereo snare, this time...? Yes! Everything sounds balanced and full. I wasn't sure how I felt about the vocals, at first, but they make everything sound spacious and wide--precisely what the original recording lacked; it was flat as a tire, this is rich and clear. The harmonies soar, that bass purrs and supports the rhythm, nothing drowns the other out. It all builds with clarity.
Love it. :)
Nicholas van der Waard to me this hides those over produced drums. This is much better.
It seems like the vocals have a lot of Reverb added and technique they're using or started using after the Black Album a lot it's a great fan edit it's awesome to actually hear bass guitar they were such dicks to Jason Newsted after Cliff died we heard no base ever like barely
Same feelings here! The vocals bugged me a little at first because they sounded like they had reverb or could've been faded slightly at the end so the release wasn't as "long"... but after a few listens it fills in that space nicely where it would've otherwise been filled with, like, Lar's snares or cymbals or some shit haha.
My mind blew when the drums kicked in after the intro with that bass.
its crazy how much better the album sounds with bass being audible
Bro this is s pretty pure and amazing remaster and remix. I love that the bass doesn’t saturate the whole mix but also doesn’t sit inaudible in the mix. It’s in there and plays the role needed. Great work
When you finally do remix the whole album, I'll gladly pay money for it. This sounds so good!
Christopher Fox he would get sued
Sad but true. He would. (See what I did there?)
yeah... he'd be unforgiven. 😄
Pay the money to Metallica
Or what he could do is give it away for free with a mandatory tip, that's so you get sued because your not selling the music but by having a mandatory tip your still making money.
Excellent job Ahdy! The bass is at a perfect level, and not over mastered as it is in most other revisions.
Dude, you are a God among men. You have fixed what has plagued And Justice For All for 30 plus years. I have always felt that it’s was the best Metallica album musically and lyrically. But it was rendered nearly impossible to listen to because of the way it was mixed. The non existent bass guitar, the incredibly overpowered bass drum, the manufactured rhythm guitar, and that horrendous “humming” bass resonance that would distort even the highest end sound systems. I don’t know what kind on crack Metallica was on when they originally produced this album. I don’t know how they could have listened to it on play back and thought that was the best they could do. It’s just soooooo overproduced. I’ve always thought that it would be far and away the best Metallica album if it just sounded like Garage Days Re-revisited. You have fixed pretty much everything wrong with it. Your version is 1000 times better than the original. Thank you, thank you, thank you for this. I’ve listened to your efforts on And Justice for All, Blackened, and Harvester or Sorrow. Please tell me there’s more you’ve done with this album. This is just amazing stuff.
You thought the original kick was overpowering? I thought it was too weak and clicky. And the snare/tom combo fared no better in the original mix. Lyrically and musically, it was a shade above MASTER, but in terms of production quality, this sits below ST. ANGER, and that thing has a SHITTY production. But this...this feels much more lively, more PRESENT.
Metacilla's most technical album
fazeel ashraf who?
Lol Sorry i made this comment really late, i was tired out of my mind.
And their only one.
Also their best :)
Its tellamica
My beard grew a beard after hearing this
Not only the bass, but every single instrument sounds SO AMAZING ! RESPECT !
I been obsessed with music since I was a little child. I had phases with different genres through out my life because Ive always been open minded with music. This entire album by Metallica is the greatest piece of artwork ever out together that I have ever heard in my entire life. And I say that with my entire soul!
Every time 2:44 hits im like, "Ahhhhh .... shiiiiit"
Kissy, Kissy! Same lol
Always
Here we go again
F
5:40 for me is the best part and no one talk about it idk why
Honestly, if Ahdy remixed this whole album and sold it, I would buy in a heartbeat!
Ahdy's obra maestra of remastering tipping the scales to make Blackened Metallica's obra maestra. I was on the fence as to what Metallica's best song is...hearing all of the instruments at their maximum potential here tips me over to Blackened. So much to like: the goosebump-provoking intro, Jason's main riff, the breakdown and the crushing bulldozer slow riff in the middle, the bridge that evokes the chorus and blasts the 2nd half of the solo into warp drive, Lars' "happy accident" time change after the solo, Hetfield's vocals..."DAR-KEST PO-TEN CE-E-EEE!" This is peak Ahdy and peak Metallica. (No disrespect to Cliff...he definitely influenced their songwriting here.) 🔥🔥🔥
dude the drums are fixed and no longer sound like a toy plastic drum set this is incredible
