Metallica And Justice For All CD

(2018 Remastered Version)

'...And Justice For All' is the fourth studio album by Metallica, first unleashed into the world on August 25, 1988, through Elektra Records. It was the first Metallica studio album to feature bassist Jason Newsted after the death of Cliff Burton in 1986.

'...And Justice For All' was recorded in early 1988 at One on One Recording Studios in Los Angeles. It features long and complex songs, fast tempos, and few verse-chorus structures, with lyrical themes of political and legal injustice seen through the prisms of censorship, war, and nuclear brinkmanship.

Three songs from the album were released as singles: "Harvester of Sorrow", "Eye of the Beholder" and "One."

'...And Justice For All' was acclaimed by music critics upon release. It was included in The Village Voice's annual Pazz & Jop critics' poll of the year's best albums, and the single "One," which also marked the band's first music video, earned Metallica its first Grammy Award (and the first ever in the Best Metal Performance category) 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, peaking at number six on the Billboard 200.

The album was certified 8× platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) in 2003 for shipping eight million copies in the U.S., making it Metallica's second-best-selling album in the country.
