About the Artist
Sean Slaughter answered the call of Christ in Feburary 1999. After a life of crime, drugs, alchohol and sex, Sean has dedicated his life to testifying of God's awsome grace. ...And Justice for All is a raw, rugged project that is spoken through the eyes of someone who lived in darkness his whole life, and has now had his first experience with a little light. It's non-compromising in its message and is truly for real hip-hop heads and those familiar with the ways of the streets.
Product Description
Slaughter Music, LLC (formerly Paul Bunyan Productions), was formed in 1997. It is a record label with a strong emphasis on ministry, either to the streets or the church. Sean Slaughter who recorded his first album, ...And Justice for All on the label, is a perfect example of a Slaughter Music artist. Cutting edge lyrics and off the hook beats that can compete with the world's best is the standard. But there is more to Slaughter Music than just music. You see, music is the tool, the device that is used to serve the purpose of the bigger picture. That picture is the ministry of Jesus Christ to world and to the church.
...And Justice for All,Sean Slaughter,Slaughter Music LLC.

Amazon.com essential recording
This record has so much good material that it's a shame the production is so shoddy. Songwise, this is probably Metallica's most sophisticated album, exploring the theme of justice and perversions thereof with a vengeance. "One" is one of their best songs ever, building from a slow, edgy beginning into effortless overdrive. The title track is excellent and never boring, despite clocking in at more than nine minutes. It's the epic of the album, but all of the songs are long, displaying impressive chops and songwriting. Metallica took a commercial turn after ...And Justice for All, and it's interesting to speculate on what would have happened to their music had they continued in the direction suggested by this album. --Genevieve Williams
Amazon.com
Having already established themselves as the streetwise saviors of heavy metal's oft-tainted legacy in the '80s, Metallica rebounded from the accidental death of original bassist Cliff Burton to produce their most thematically challenging, musically accomplished album to date. Despite James Hetfield's dank, extended portraits of a world collapsing from corruption and decadence--themes that virtually guaranteed it little radio or television exposure--the album was nonetheless a muscular commercial success. Even "One," its complex, seven-and-a-half-minute adaptation of Dalton Trumbo's "Johnny Got His Gun," managed to scale the singles charts. Other highlights include "Blackened," "Eye of the Beholder," and the sweeping "To Live Is to Die," tracks that underscore a sense of musical ambition that's often downright prog-centric, yet never merely self-indulgent. --Jerry McCulley

Not Much To Say...Simply Masterful.......2007-07-13
Dang, too bad I can't give this a million stars!
I don't have as much that I can say about this album compared to other people. What I can say, though, is that this is the greatest album Metallica has ever recorded. But don't get me wrong, I loved Puppets as much as anyone else. Justice was just better, and I'll even say by quite a bit. When I listen to the album, I try to forget about the bad recording quality that it present on it, and I just listen to the MUSIC. When I do this, the true musicians that Hetfield and Ulrich were really jumps out at me. Two best songs on the album are, and I had to really think about this, The Frayed Ends of Sanity, and ...And Justice For All. I'm not a die-hard, Kill-'Em-All-and-that's-all-I-like Metallica fan, but people, I know my music, I know my Metallica, AND IT DOESN'T GET ANY BETTER THAN THIS FOLKS!!!!!!!!!!!
...And Rock For All.......2007-07-08
...And Justice For All by Metallica is what Metal is supposed to sound like. Excellent!!!
A Raw Metal Guitar Album (4.5 stars).......2007-07-07
Metallica's ...And Justice For All is seen my many fans as the end of Metallica. While I don't truly agree with this, this album really is the end of the band doing any thrash metal.
Now, beside that, this album is a bit different from any other Metallica album. How is it different? Well, you probably already know, but it sounds like there's only two people playing: Lars and one of the guitarists. It definitely gives the album a bit of a raw, under-produced feel. Sure, albums like Kill Em All and Ride the Lightning also have raw feelings, but not quite like this one.
Now, with bass or no bass, this is still the very thrash metal that the band was known for. And I still like it. Is it as good as some of their other albums? Not really, but it sure beats out St. Anger, that's for sure (well, any other Metallica album can basically destroy St. Anger in comparison).
All in all, very good album. Knocked it down half a star because the songs can sound empty sometimes without the bass.
An honest review........2007-06-26
Ok, I saw that there were about 780 or so reviews on this CD. So, I seriously doubt that I am going to add anything that hasn't already been said before.
But to let people know, and to give an honest review on this CD, here it goes:
"... And Justice for All" is certainly not the best MetallicA CD, but it surely is not the worst either.
The best MetallicA CDs are "Kill 'Em All" and "Ride the Lightning". That is quality Thrash Metal for what it is worth. Get those 2 CDs, and you pretty much have MetallicA's greatest hits. (Also, if you really think about it: Both of those CDs are somewhat MegadetH CDs. Dave Mustaine wrote 3/4ths of the songs on "Kill 'Em All" and 1/4th of the songs on "Ride the Lightning", but he never got credit for it. *See the inside liner notes in the CD cover of "Killing is my Business... and Business is Good" re-mastered CD from MegadetH about the whole story on that*).
My gosh, NOTHING is worse than the "Load" CD and the "Reload" CD. (More like "Crapload" is what is should have been called).
Just face it people, MetallicA went straight downhill after Cliff Burton died. His death was the death of MetallicA as a quality Thrash Metal band. From almost being just as heavy as early sLaYeR to becoming nothing more than a watered down third rate version of System of a Down.
The band never got over Cliff's death. It is obivious. The song writting quality went straight downhill and the overall Metal in the band started to disappear altogether. How MetallicA still even has the name Metal in their name now these days I honestly do not know? They are anything but Metal now.
That's the overall of the band during the time of this CD. For the specifics of the CD:
Has anyone ever noticed that you don't hear not one ounce of Bass on this entire CD? It is nothing but Rhythm Guitar and Drums, and you just barely hear the Lead Guitar sometimes on the CD.
It is almost like the band doesn't even have a bassist on this CD, b/c you can't hear him at all on any song on the whole CD.
Most of the songs on this CD are kick-butt. "Blackened", "...And Justice for All title song", "Eye of the Beholder", "The Shortest Straw", "The Frayed Ends of Sanity", and "Dyer's Eve". Those songs there make this CD what it is.
"One" has been overplayed to death so much that I could care less if I ever hear that song again. To me, "One" is a crap song, the beginning to middle part of it anyways. The end of it, the heavy part, is not bad at all, but the rest of the song is to be thrown away.
"Harvester of Sorrow" starts out pretty cool, but the song ends up going nowhere, and it is easy to just get disinterested in the song altogether. Nothing much in the song to really hold your interest.
"To Live is to Die" (instrumental) is not bad at all for most of the song and is very pretty in some parts. The beginning, about 4 or 5 minutes into the song, and at the end of the song are very pretty. The rest of the song just goes nowhere, and becomes bland and is almost like a broken record, playing the same part over and over and over and over again, and never going anywhere.
Sadly, "Dyer's Eve" will be the last awesome song this band would ever make. After that song was over, this band died, and the band as a whole were never anywhere as heavy or this much quality in the music as the first 4 CDs ever again to this day still.
MetallicA
1982 - 1989
R.I.P.
*On a side note: Most of the songs on this CD sound like the guys are trying to do all out MegadetH, but fall short of it. I still say that "Rust in Peace" CD from MegadetH is a million times better than "...And Justice for All" from the band formely known as MetallicA. "...And Justice for All" is not a horribly bad CD at all, but "Rust in Peace" is so much better.*

There's NO ONE Like Charlie Daniels!.......2007-03-16
If only we could find a man like Charlie Daniels to lead this country back to what we once were - The Greatest Nation On Earth! He may be countrified, he may be a Simple Man, but by the grace of God he is EXACTLY what he is: a red-blooded American who pulls no punches, and leaves nothing unsaid. God bless you, Charlie Daniels, and God bless our still-great country.
AMEN Mr. Daniels!!!.......2006-02-27
A fantastic CD for any true American to have in their collection.
You don't even necessarily need to like country music to enjoy this very Patriotic music, But, loving America will pretty much guarantee you will be glad you bought it.
great american country album.......2004-08-28
i really enjoy this album. it is a must have for all of us fans of mr daniels. i feel just about like him when it comes to america. like america should be freedom of speach. he's welcome to his' just as i am and you are. he is the king of sothern country music and always will be. so but this one if you like ole charlie daniels. its a must have. you'll be glad ya did. i am.
jingoistic pablum.......2004-06-30
Mr. Daniels is clearly profiteering from the War on Iraq, just like those idiots who were selling t-shirts with pictures of the twin towers exploding a day after 9/11. Shame on you, Mr. Daniels.
Strong words to make you proud.......2004-03-05
I am not an American, but I live in this country as a foreign worker and I appreciate everything good that America stands for. I am here legally, I didn't sneak across borders, nor am I living on welfare. I love this country as though it were my own. So I despise self-hating American liberals and those who would sell out this country to the villains of the world, including the corrupt United Nations.
I thank Charlie Daniels for being one of those rare celebrities who are proud of their country and unashamed to be public about it. I listened to this entire album in Borders before I bought it. The opening track is a spoken word piece taken from Daniels' book "This Ain't No Rag." It's a beautiful description of all that's great about America.
The rest of the songs are all patriotic. Country music is not my favorite genre, but this music is good because of its lyrical content. There are even some songs that got my foot tapping, like the "Summer of '68," about the way the Vietnam Vets were persecuted by self-indulgent hippies who had neither the courage to lay down their lives nor the insight to appreciate it. "American Farmer" is a salute to the unappreciated farmers that the Democratic Party is trying to take subsidies away from. Charlie even salutes MLK Jr. on "Let Freedom Ring." "The Last Fallen Hero" is a ode to US troops currently in Iraq. It's like an anthem but it has a sound that reminds me a bit of Leonard Cohen. "Simple Man" is an expression of outrage at the lack of justice in liberal-dominated courts and Charlie suggests a few alternative means of justice!
This album is an excellent counterpoint to the empty-headed refrains of Steve Earle, the Dixie Chicks, Bruce Springsteen, Chrissie Hynde and other knee-jerk liberals.

Say your prayers little one... yeah, pray your ears don't start bleeding........2006-01-03
After receiving and listing to the "Say your prayers little one: The String Quartet Tribute to Metallica" I found I was rather disappointed in the "tribute" album.
Enter Sandman: The opening is weak... and as forceful as Metallica opens it, it seems like a simple lullaby when played by the Quartet. The notes are wrong, not as punctuated at they could be with clean cut offs and too much dragging out of the strings with the vibrato effect. I expected more thunderous bass lines and didn't appreciate the creative changes made to the song. The Freddy Kruger-like voice reciting the prayer is too over the top, and the changing of that prayer took away some of the poetic beauty of the original song.
Ride the Lightening: The wolf howl heard at the beginning of the song should have never happened. Tragically played... again, choosing to alter the notes rather than stick to the original composure of the song leaves one thinking "What in the hell was that?" Less dragging out of notes on this one... and it's less painful that hearing Enter Sandman. Some of the Quartet's changes from the original version are quite suiting to this song.
One: Not too bad on the ears... but the tempo was just a tad too fast for my liking. This song, when played on classical instruments should not be sped up. To me, the sound of One being played at a slower speed is much more useful, and enables the pain and heartfelt-ness of the original song shine through. It has it's high points, but they are few and far between.
Master of Puppets: The opening is rather nice... until they really get going. I'm noticing a pattern by this point of these guys changing the notes in the songs for reason I can't understand. Cheesy sound effects through out drag this down terribly and make this great song sound rather bad. Don't hate it completely, but I'm not loving it either.
Unforgiven: This is the only song I really like up to this point. The opening is lovely, with a single bell tolling as a lone violin starts up... the entire opening is lovely actually. I was impressed, and the changing of the notes played is suitable for the violin in this number. Great and impressive to the end, this movement, moved me.
Wherever I May Roam: After all that moving from Unforgiven I had picked up some momentum and I came to a dead halt when this one came on. The drum like noise opening this made me cringe, and the constant throbbing of the bass confused my now bleeding ears. They're fast when they should be slow, and slow when they should be fast. Again, more creative note changing in this one.
Through the Never: More stupid sound effects... maybe it's a whistle? Or a garbage truck backing up? Not sure, but that needs to go. Maybe it's just me, but it didn't sound too much like Through the Never to me. This should never have happened. At. All. They shouldn't have even thought about it. Whoever said "Hey, let's cover this one!" Should be slapped stupider than he/she already is.
And Justice for All: Eh.... I don't even listen to it. I tolerate Metallica's version because it's them. But I won't sit through this one. You'll have to find out for yourself.
Hero of the Day: A diamond in the rough. Not too much note changing... and no lame ass sound effects. Pretty moving and surprising, though the ending leaves so much to be desired it's retarded.
Fade to Black: SLOW THE F*CK DOWN! This song is not meant to be played at the speed of light. Again, another good song that would usually sound beautiful on classical instruments is mangled in the need to make it faster. However, it's a nice cover minus the playing at the speed of death metal at times. Sheesh.
Nothing Else Matters: Okay, these guys have serious issues with tempo. Perhaps they don't know what it is? Go back and read what I said about Fade to Black and you have this song.
All and all, I would pass this album by if I actually had to buy it. But if you're like me, and must have any and everything Metallica, then by all means, buy it. I'd advise you didn't get too excited about it though.
If you want good covers of this in the classical type genre, I'd recommend you get Apocalyptica's Inquisition Symphony. Though it only has the Metallica covers for For Whom the Bell Tolls, One, Fade to Black, and Nothing Else Matters, it has a few original works, as well as covers of Sepultura, Faith No More, and Pantera. Much easier on the ears and mind... as well as doing justice to Metallica's greatness.

Why would anyone buy this when you could pick up an Apocalyptica album instead? Rather than this half-assed cash-in attempt with no imagination or passion behind it, check out Apocalyptica's "Plays Metallica By Four Cellos" or "Inquisition Symphony". They do much better string versions of Metallica songs.

Fun in a cartoonish sort of way.......2003-03-23
Scoring a live action/animation film can be a difficult thing. Do you mickey mouse every scene or play it straight? Silvestri does both, but mainly in a comic fashion. Lots of jazz musicians from the London Symphony Orchestra, as well as the orchestra itself provide the music and the result is a good one. For the jazz parts, Silvestri throws in a solo trumpet, saxophone, piano, bass, and drums. "Maroon Logo" and "Maroon Cartoon" are 2 mickey-moused tracks, meaning that every action on screen is reflected in the music. I can't help but think back to the old Warner Bros. cartoons here. "Valiant and Valiant" and "Eddie's Theme" are 2 tracks on the slightly somber side, employing the use of the wonderful jazz musicians. "The Weasels" is amusing, while "Hungarian Rhapsody" contains the scene where Donald and Daffy Duck duel with each other on the pianos. "Judge Doom" is the most ominous track on the album, sensing evil is right around the corner. "Why Don't You Do Right" and "The Merry-Go-Round Broke Down" are 2 songs from the film, the former one a sultry and swinging song sung by Jessica Rabbit in the film and the latter a comically entertaining one sung by Roger Rabbit. "Jessica's Theme" is sultry, with a slightly suspect feel to it. "The Gag Factory" is one of the highlights of the album, with the orchestra shining at its best with racing brass rhythms and strings. "The Will" is a great finale track, while "Smile Darn Ya Smile/That's All Folks!" is somewhat of a goofy song with Porky Pig quoting his famous line at the end. The best track is "End Title", which brings together all of the themes in the film into a 5 minute suite. A great effort on Silvestri's part and a wonderful recording, as well as a great orchestral performance.
I have the original CD..........2002-06-05
...and it is absolutely wonderful. Alan Silvestri is an incredible composer. I have several soundtracks from him and I'm a huge WFRR fan to boot! This soundtrack is a must have for any fan of this movie.
