[QUOTE=Enlighten Me]I agree Eye of The Beholder is probably the most boring song on AJFA.. it aint that bad though..[/QUOTE]

i love that song:)

great vocals and lyrics

I used to like EOTB. It has ood lyrics but it is rather boring.

Basically And Justice For All... kicks ***.

Bit too long though.

[QUOTE=Stormrider331]I don't consider Shortest Straw r Harvester of Sorrow To Be Filler. They're both great songs.[/QUOTE]
it can't be, HOS is tooo good. i love that song, and the drums near the beginning. what exactly do we mean by "filler"? a song just to bulk out an album?

Basically a song to fill the album up.

Then Metallica reached a point where they produced filler albums..

Not really.

AJFA is kinda long, but its still one of my favorite 'Tallica songs. The rythm tone on that whole album is so awsome.

Seriously, that tone is ahh....:p

its paper thin, annoyingly

The tone pisses me off, in general the production does but it has some great songs on it.

the general sound on AJFA is one of things that make it so good for me.

I don't have a problem with the tone on AJFA. I think it helps make the album great.

AJFA is easily metallica's most underated album, and does not get enough praise.

so i'm currently making a cd of metallica's heaviest songs (including their covers).

this is the list thus far:

the thing that should not be
harvester of sorrow
sad but true
don't tread on me
the god that failed
devil's dance
bad seed
-human
the small hours
some kind of monster

what do you think?

AJFA has crappy production. One of the biggest thrash bands around the late 80's should have better production than that.

Needs less **** and more quality.

Your list needs to be something like this
1. The Phantom Lord
2. Disposable Heros
3. Dyers Eve
4. Creeping Death
5. Frayed ends of Sanity
6. Master of Puppets
7. Wherever I may Roam
8. For Whom the Bell Tolls
9. Damage Incorporated.

My last hope for metallica is probably this album, they have Rick Rubin producing. I hope they write better crafted songs, and I hope no one comes up with a scatterbrained production idea to ruin the cd. St. anger... :(

Meh, I thought St. Anger was probably the best CD they did with Bob.

[QUOTE=Chu]Needs less **** and more quality.[/QUOTE]
Agreed.
In my opinion, I don't think you need to step outside of the first 3 albums much for the heaviest songs.

i really don't see(or more to the point, hear) a problem with AJFA's production. i can hear it all clear and crisp, im confused. though there is a sound to the album, for example in the solos its dynamic effect is strange, along wit the rest of the parts. but i like that; i think it was deliberate.

nah, that's just the early stuff, they did much more heavy stuf. and alot of that^^ in your list is more purely thrashy than heavy.

I think the early songs are the heaviest, just the production lets them down. If they had production quality like Load/Reload, they would sound much heavier.

I like the sound on the older albums for some reason.

it kind of gives it more feel... reminds you of what they were like before they hit big money.

The old albums would sound like s[size=2]h[/size]it with their 90's production.

The production on St. Anger makes it sound much heavier, I love that album to bits. Is it just me or does Kirk's soloing tone sound more like a flute? You get this amazingly heavy song, then you get this flute playing the same happy merry melodies at the end of it.

Just a quick question, who contributed towards the making of kill em all, kirk hammet or dave mustaine? like when was mustaine kicked out of metallica, and did he contribute towards any of their songs?

Dave helped write most of the songs, but he was kicked out before they started to record Kill 'Em All. So basically all the solos started out they way Dave wrote them and then Kirk wrote his own stuff. So like the beginnings of solos are the same as if Dave were to play them but the rest were Kirks. Dave also wrote most of the riffs with James; Kirk really isn't part of writing the riffs and such until RTL.

both of them had a good input, but i only know that Four Horsemen was practically written my Mustaine.

yeh .. except for the solo in the middle.

That's Kirk's magical wah pedal, he can't put it down.

This thread should be called "Metallica, Inc.", not "Metallica Inc."

Meh, I'm happy with the title.

^^ Thanks for that :rolleyes:

[QUOTE=Rattlehead]both of them had a good input, but i only know that Four Horsemen was practically written my Mustaine.[/QUOTE] I burst of out laughing when i heard four horsemen, its an identical inferior version of mechanix!

I have to say I preffered 'Tallica's version over Megadeth's even though I like Megadeth much more.

Mechanix is way better.

I just don't like they lyrics to it and my favourite part of TFHM is the slow bit and the first solo, which Mechanix doesn't have.
