Metallica-...And Justice For All (1988)

Metallica's career has had very significant ups and downs and after the release of the first four albums that marked a before and after of Thrash Metal, the San Francisco band revolutionized their sound with their 1991 release entitled "The Black Album", in where they deviated towards less harsh and more melodic sounds, with high quality heavy metal.
But before this album the band had created what was then their masterpiece "Justice For All", published in 1988 and that would achieve eight platinum records after achieving eight million copies sold, in addition to being nominated for a Grammy Award in the Hard Rock / Metal performance category.
However, the album was questioned by its fans and criticized for the "defective" recording where Jason Newsted's bass practically does not sound.
It is also the band's darkest and most instrumental album, dominated by dense, fast-paced drum sounds of great complexity.
Memorable and superb compositions like the frenetic "Blackened", "Eye of the Beholder", "Harvest of Sorrow" or "One", extensive and complex epics like "Justice For All", or the instrumental "To Live Is to Die" to Metallica at the foot of the rock Olympus as the undisputed gods of Trash Metal and Heavy Metal in general at the end of the eighties.
