    The way that James is phrasing his lyrics in this song is so remarkable. He is bending and twisting every word in a way that is totally unique.

    Definitely this song and “Frayed Ends of Sanity”. I think Kirk’s solo in this song is one of his most iconic solos and James harsh vicious vocals are amazing.

    I was 15 in 1988 when this album came out and Justice was the first Metallica stuff I heard thanks to an old school friend back then. It just blew me away. I was used to the likes of Maiden, Sabbath and other classic iconic bands like that, but Justice was the first time I'd heard something so aggressive, angry, dark, pounding and un-nerving. I went on to discover many other heavy bands after this such as Celtic Frost, Voivod, Napalm Death, Godflesh and many more, but if it hadn't been for Justice from that old mate of mine, it may never have happened. Shortest Straw is still one of my faves from this album. Such an underrated track. We all know of the bass issues with this album on the production, but the pace, ferocity, time changes and that killer solo from Kirk still blow my mind 35 years on. My only niggle with this album is the bass problems. Jason deserved better. I'm also a huge fan of Tool so I get how different an album would sound if you took away important bass lines.

    Underrated song from this album, a speedmetal masterpiece. Lyrically it's quite in keeping with the album's theme, some who happen to fall through the cracks of justice: the shortest straw has been pulled *for you* -- i.e, no choice in the matter. I think "Channels Red" just has something to with seeing red, finally, after so much injustice...I could be wrong.
    One song from this album? Probably Blackened, or The Frayed Ends of Sanity...savage, precision speedmetal.

    They had away of telling like it is! And still true today. My favorite song on "Justice" is "Dyers Eve", but "Kill em' All"
    is by far their most aggressive album. You need to hear it after you finish "And Justice For All". "Whiplash" is my favorite Metallica song.

    • @jasontyler7423
      @jasontyler7423 Рік тому

      IMHO Kill Em' All felt like a junior Metallica compared to the three albums that followed. I love it, don't get me wrong, but you can tell the maturity and overall control over their dynamics and playing in the three albums after it.
