...And Justice for All

i bought Metallica-and justice for all,good deal,fast service,everything in excellent condition as promised,i certainly ordered again!

To make clear, I am review the 2 LP reissue of Metallica's "...And Justice For All."

This is the 4th in Metallica's current vinyl reissue project. Justice is one of my favorite Tallica albums of their great catalog. Song are heavy and meaty. Most of them about 8 minutes and longer. I won't take up a bunch of time reviewing the songs, because it's been done to death.

These reissues have been great from the start and this continues the trend. All original artwork has been restored. The vinyl itself is very high quality and great care has been taken with the half speed mastering.

If you want to here Metallica like never before, pick this and the other reissues up. You won't be disappointed!

Don't get me wrong, this is a great album, my one star review has to do with this particular pressing of the lp. For a half speed master, this sounds absolutely horrible! The signal of the recording is so low, I have to crank my phono preamp so much, that the surface noise of the vinyl is noticeable. This should never happen, ESPECIALLY on a heavy metal record, where the music should be so loud it drowns out any lp noise. Do yourself a favor, spend your money on an older original pressing, this one is horrible. I have a UK pressing of this album from vertigo from the early 90s that BLOWs this pressing out of the water, half speed mastered or not.

I bought this SHM-cd thinking it would at least sound a little better than the original one! Unless you need a special Shm-cd player, this release on a normal player doesn't sound any different from the domestic one. Usually Japanese releases sound better, but not here. This album needs a remastered job real bad!

i was sent 2 CD of " and justice for all " & returned 1 copy. i have NOT received a refund or credit for the returned CD. i like the CD but am not thrilled with the return procedure.
