It's hard for me to listen to the original version of the album when this version with Jason's bass being actually audible exists

If the bus didn't get Cliff, the production here might've. Still a 5 though.

no way cliff would’ve stood for it. plus there’s no way lars and james would’ve had the balls to do him like that.

I've heard the reason why there's no bass on AJFA is because of Cliffs death. The lack of bass is meant to represent the loss of his presence in the band.

But that's just a theory, just something I read ages ago...

"the production is (IMO rightly) a sticking point for a lot of people but I don't think it would be as much of one if AJFA wasn't also a step down compositionally from their previous few albums"
Good takes itt finally

Everything was a step-down for Metallica after No Life 'Til Leather.

Spicy take, I like it.
