..and justice for all was probably their first real exposure to the mainstream!
The first thing noticeable about that album was the fact they released a music video for the song "One", which was something they said they would never do!
The black album was obviously their attempt at cracking the mainstream full on, and it worked, but after that they just started believing their own hype, offering up turgid shit that was barely appealing to the new fans, let alone the old school fans!
Ride the lightning was a great piece of work, as was Master of puppets, but Justice only had about one decent song, and it was a friggin double album!
I like the black album but beyond that, they have only had a handful of half decent songs (and a bunch of them were covers).
Cant say they were ever a favourite band of mine (gimme Megadeth any day of the week), but it was still sad seeing them become the band they are today!
