* IdiosyncraticEpisodeNaming: Though the album was recorded with the UsefulNotes/CompactDisc format in mind, the band still gave a nod to the lingering visibility of the vinyl record. Fitting the album's name and its Greco-Roman cover art, each side of the double-LP release is labeled with Roman numerals (i.e. I, II, III, and IV) instead of traditional letters or numbers. The cassette release, likewise, labels its sides "I" and "II" on the inlay (though the tape shell uses the standard "1" and "2").

Accordingly, the song reflects the leftist writer's anti-war beliefs, depicting war as a parasitic practice that only causes agony to those who actually have to fire the guns, as depicted through the plight of a hospitalized UsefulNotes/WorldWarI soldier whose limbs and face were blown off by a landmine.

…And Justice for All is the fourth album by ThrashMetal band Music/{{Metallica}}, released on September 7, 1988, by Creator/ElektraRecords. It is their first full-length to feature bassist Music/JasonNewsted, who passed an audition held after the death of Cliff Burton. Following the band's breakthrough with 1986's ''Music/MasterOfPuppets'', this album gravitated Metallica further into the mainstream by being their first top-ten album on the Billboard 200. Included in this album is "One", which spawned the band's first music video, which used clips from the film adaptation of the book ''Literature/JohnnyGotHisGun''. Cliff Burton receives a PosthumousCredit for the mostly instrumental "To Live Is to Die", which was based on unused bass lines by him and features a brief spoken word section reading a passage found in his personal notebook.

Cliff Burton receives a PosthumousCredit for the mostly instrumental "To Live Is to Die", which was based on unused bass lines by him and features a brief spoken word section reading a passage found in his personal notebook.
Musically, this album is known for having more ProgressiveMetal leanings than usual and, more infamously, having its bass nearly inaudible. The near-absence of bass was a deliberate choice by James Hetfield and Lars Ulrich, but the explanation for this has not been consistent. In 2009, Hetfield said it was because the bass followed too closely to his rhythm guitar. According to Hetfield and Ulrich, in 2019, it was because their hearing was shot from heavy touring, and they did not turn down the bass so much as they had everything else turned up.
This album has no connection to the 1979 film ''Film/AndJusticeForAll'' aside from lifting its title from the United States Pledge of Allegiance.

* CallingTheOldManOut: "Dyers Eve" is about lashing out at one's parents.
* EpicInstrumentalOpener: Almost all the songs take more than a minute for the first vocals to appear. The title track takes more than two.
* EpicRocking: Most of the songs qualify, with the title track (9:46) and "To Live Is to Die" (9:49) being among Metallica's longest ones.
