...and Justice For All 2XLP

Album Details

Metallica's 1988 release ...And Justice For All is the thrash giants' commercial breakthrough. The follow-up to 1996's Master Of Puppets and the band's fourth full-length overall, it was Metallica's first album to reach the Top 10 (#6), first to earn a Top 40 single ("One"), and first to win a Grammy Award ("One"). Having gone platinum in just nine weeks, ...And Justice For All has since sold over 8 million copies in the U.S. alone. The ambitious album is also Metallica's first without original bassist Cliff Burton, who passed away in 1986 when the band's tour bus overturned in Sweden while they were on tour promoting Master of Puppets. Seldom has a band recovered from such tragedy with such a triumphant statement of power, aggression, speed, and heightened social awareness. Replete with stunning riffs and immense songwriting, ...And Justice For All is a landmark record in every sense of the word.
