This album falls short of being a great album. The songs are good, the riffs are brutal, the killer solos are there and morover it contains prog elements - so what exactly went wrong?
I cannot call it a classic because of its poor production quality. Master of Puppets, recorded before Justice, sounds better than this album. The low ends are thin and the bass isn't virtually there. And so is the kick drum - less on low ends. I feel Bob Rock did a better job with their sound but as artists took them downhill (stardom from another point of view). |
