Any fans of the "And Justice For All" album by Metallica? How has it held up after 30 years? First off, we're all well aware of the thin production/sound quality of the album and its lack of bass. For an album like this, either you can accept it for what it is or don't. Clearly many of us have because it's a Metallica album many still listen to this very day. In regards to possibly fixing it, well I don't think it should be done unless the old mix tracks or whatever can be found which looks to be impossible. Also, it sounds like it would be a costly, time-consuming undertaking if it were to be and could be done. I think it should be left alone instead of Metallica trying to pull a George Lucas on it and either making it sound worse and/or unnatural. Anyways, I think the album is still solid and one of Metallica's best. My fourth favorite of the first five albums. I first heard it on cassette tape when I was in middle school in the 1990's. My only gripe is that some songs like the title track and "Frayed Ends of Sanity" go on a bit too long. Cut a few minutes off and I don't think you'd lose anything. Otherwise, it's pretty top-notch from top to bottom. The band's playing is exceptionally tight with all members in good form (I'm sure Jason would be the same if you could hear his bass). Many songs like "Blackened", "Harvester of Sorrow", "Dyers Eve", "To Live is To Die", the metal symphony "One", and "The Shortest Straw" are still concert staples to this day. Also, this feels like a Metallica album that had things that haven't been done before or since on a Metallica album or maybe even a metal album like crazy tempo and time signature changes over the course of 7-8 minute songs. If you want to hear these songs sound the way they should, watch the Live Shit concert from 1989. The songs sound incredible with tight playing from the band with a healthy dose of bass. People also remember the first music video Metallica did for "One" which made a big impact on MTV when it first came out. A great version of "To Live is to Die" if it were on The Black Album:

3rd best album from them in my opinion. I curse Lars every time I hear it, or don’t hear it. Saw this concert in 89 at old Popular Creek Theater in Illinois. Amazing !!! The Cult opened for them.

Is it actually today? Online I'm seeing it's either today or September 5th.

A great version of "To Live is to Die" if it were on The Black Album: So very sad this album stemmed from the tragedy of Burton's Death, but i think this is Metallica's Best Album, BAR NONE. Jason was a welcomed addition to the group and together they produced my all time favorite Metallica Song "Blackened", i can listen to that intro and song all day every day. "One" is also awesome as well as "Harvest of Sorrow", "To Live is to Die", "The Shortest Straw", "...And Justice for All". All in all this Album is a Masterpiece.

It's a good album, first side at least. I never knew there were any mixing issues until a year or two ago.
