... AND JUSTICE FOR ALL

For me, Justice is Metallica's greatest album. The riffery included is just genius without being overly complex. This is definitely their most proggy album with all of the odd time and long epic songs. It is like taking Master of Puppets, and adding more of what made that album great, highly original and powerful riffs. I don't know what else I can say other than this album is what I consider to be a progressive metal masterpiece. It is the only Metallica release that I would consider to be progressive metal, as it is the farthest they have pushed into the progressive realm. Sadly, they left the realm after this album. A great album that every metal fan should own and every prog fan that likes the heavy stuff should check out. I am sure that this album has influenced a great many of the modern prog metal/progrock bands. Listen to it!
