Killer Song! Though (in my opinion) Puppets is the best Metallica album ever, and possibly best Metal album of all time, this song just slays. I'll never forget being 14 and cranking it in my house for the first time and my Mother hearing the lyric "See your mother, put to death, see your mother die".. man parents just don't understand.
Justice had such potential as an album but to me what holds it back, aside from the horrendous mix (second only to St. Anger) was that it always felt like James had it in his mind he had something to prove. Not just the loss of Cliff but also trying to prove that Heavy Metal could be as intelligent and sophisticated as Bach, Mozart or Beethoven. He did prove the later but at the cost of songs that (to me) drone on and on, some of those songs have parts that are almost painful to listen to because of their repetition, however one thing he did awesomely on that album was variations on a theme, kind of twisting the same melody or even riff into something just different enough. But, if I am being honest I have no room to talk, I've never written anything close to as great as the songs Justice, Blackened, One or To Live Is To Die, nor will I probably ever....
