    James laying down some serious crunch on this, not bad for a 2-man band.

    Why does a bad-sounding album need an audiophile hi-res version ???

    An 80s digitally mixed bad sounding album. It can't even be true hi-res.

    That Writing In Progress take sounds great!

    How does the 2 LP set or the cassette sound, I wonder.

    To my ears, the new reissue sounds great, as good as my 1988 DMM original or my 1989 Brazilian pressing on Vertigo label.

    Good to hear. Wondering how it compares to the boxed set 4LP as well. That thing is amazing. The most bass guitar I've heard in any vinyl version, even if its still not a whole lot, I can at least hear it in spots. Gives 'One' more even emotional impact.
     
  9. You know, the more I dig into this set the more I dislike it. It hasn't aged very well for me, but that's just me, as a lot of time has passed since AJFA made such an impressionable mark on my 15-16 year old brain. Granted AJFA holds up better than the Nuclear Assault, or Kreator, or Death Angel from this time period, yet RtL and MoP hold up much better. For some reason Voivod's Dimension Hatröss still has me in a spell, so go figure.

    That's not to say that I am not pleased with the boxset. I am. Only that the more I listen, the more I realize that I won't be playing this one much, unless my son wants a listen.

    What’s up with the bass on this one is it audible?

    AJFA was always a bit of a drudging experience for me although there is some cool moments.

  12. There are some very cool moment, yet despite the demos being a good listen, the rough takes, etc., the only songs that still hit me as a killer music experience were:

    Blackened
    Eye of the Beholder
    Dyers Eve

    Haha! Damn, that's not much! Of course there are other great riffs and sections of songs. All of Kirk's solos are great. Perhaps it's just my mood, but dammit I can put of MoP right now and dig every single note.

    It's all subjective of course.

    Hmm. I can't take much of Metallica, especially whole albums, but AJFA is one of the ones I do like. I'm hoping it compares soundwise with the 45rpm vinyl box, especially bass-wise.

    Hello everyone,

    I purchased the boxset and have a legitimate "MP3 download card of all audio". Card reads "To redeem your digital copy of And Justice For All Remastered...". Content is indeed for the whole album.

    But where is the Seattle 89 content? Nothing else shows up in the downloaded files than the remastered album.

    Thank you for your help!
