- Here's my reaction to hearing Metallica - Blackened for the first time. I think this is the first song from the And Justice For All Album that I have heard. I think it's obvious that I'll have to listen to all the others, especially if they're all as good as this one.

Hetfield’s voice on this album has to be a highlight in all of metal history. I mean HOLY SHIT that is a powerful metal voice
Yes mate his voice was awesome until he lost it in 94 and he had to try and sing and it didn't work for me tbh.
You should have heard him live at this time. You can watch the 89 binge& purge. The one with Lady Justice on stage. It's incredible.
I know a lot of people complain about the lack of bass on this album, but for me the lack of bass makes James' guitar tone stand out more than on any other album and it's never sounded better. As a guitarist, for me this album is the holy grail of guitar tones.
As for recommendations from this album, I'd go with either the title track, Justice For All, or the instrumental, To Live Is To Die. They're the two longest songs on the album and they both feature lots of switch-ups and different parts.
The tone of that guitar is very grating. I actually despise it. It's not pleasant to the ear. Perhaps that's purposeful
Too bad the drums are way too loud so you can hardly hear the guitars.
@@j.t.3798 I can understand that. I guess one of the reasons I like it so much is because Justice came out when I first started learning guitar so it was a huge influence on how I wanted to play and how I wanted to sound.
Exactly. The rawness of it is why it’s my favorite album
that's what they complained about Jason, no bass, he only copying the same rifts as Kirk on the guitar.

Welcome the ‘Tallica family! I’m in the US, been listening to Metallica since 1987-88 and still dig your channel because I went through that time period where everyone thought Metallica had “sold out” or “sucked” so it’s pretty cool to me to see more & more people “finding” Metallica. Rock on!
S&M is not in there either. 🤷
@@ElkSlayer8172 that was Aug of 1987 but I did not include that, the Garage Days re-revisited released in 98 nor the 2 symphony albums because I only listed original studio albums. But yes, Garage Days is friggen awesome! You can actually hear Jason’s bass on it. 🤘🏼
@@sublime130 I only listed the original studio albums. S&M, S&M II are both awesome albums, I saw the S&M II in the theater & S&M has 2 new songs No Leaf Clover & Human but, it technically wasn’t a “studio album”.
You forgot a few albums, binge and purge is my all time favorites and Cunning stunts and what about S&M ect...
@@user-qo8xq6ic3c none of them are studio albums, Binge & Purge is the Black Album tour live etc.
This is Metallica at their most focused, most aggressive, angriest (after Cliff Burtons death) and on the brink of superstardom. In terms of composition this whole album is monstrous. It's deep, progressive, incredibly heavy and tight as fuck. Make sure to listen to To Live Is To Die' as it will really move you in a very different way. Metallica rolled everybody when this dropped - yes the production is different, but the songs are totally fucking lit.
BLACKENED 👊
You really think AJFA is their most aggressive? lol interesting...
@@blitz3643 Why lol, friend...?
@@BillBuckinghamBecause it isn't.
@@blitz3643 So, friend - in your opinion, what is...?
@@BillBuckinghamEach of the first 3 albums.
Justice is my fav Metallica album. Every song is incredible. 🔥🔥🤘🤘
Bad production on the original
“ fight fire with fire” by Metallica. I am telling you that song is amazing. I highly recommend the whole ride the Lightning album.
💯🔥
This is literally the album that made me fall in love with all genres of metal as a kid. Yeah the whole backstory about the bass that we didn’t know about until much later was sad, but this was groundbreaking.
Liking a song so much you tell it to fu&k off!! Brilliant 🤘
And justice for all Seattle 89 is a must!! Loved your reaction to this song, it’s one of my top 5. Also, the live version at Seattle is 🔥
Blackened is my favourite song from metallica of all time and i’m glad you listened to me after all the time i begged you to react to this 😂😂 I’m so glad you loved this song bro 🤘🤘
It’s a banger!
Mine too... this is one of my workout songs :)
@@bdawg2513 same here 😭😭
That intro is so underrated holy shit and that part where the solo breaks down, i have no words
I'm 51. Metal head. So just imagine growing up in the late eighties early nineties , when all of these bands that you are becoming to love are just coming out. That's why it was so great being a teenager.
During the late eighties with all of these bands at their peak.
Metallica at their prog-metaliest. The whole album is a masterpiece. Mindblowing when it hit.
Molly boy your Facial expressions are priceless, absolutely brilliant 😂😂 metallica sure do have away of doing that lol
It's the "stank face" that does me in, every time!
They did an acoustic version of this in 2020 during covid it is really good
I love the amount of attention and respect you are giving these tracks! You are picking up on thing on your first listen that a lot of first-timers don't catch. And I promise, the more you listen, the more you will notice, dissect, and appreciate. There are so many layers to this music. We fans have all been down this path already, but it's really fun to watch someone take those first steps and experience it for the first time. It reminds us what it was like. Subscribed! :)
A perfect complement to Ozzy's Revelation (Mothe Earth).
I'll never forget seeing Metalica open for Ozzy back in the day - truly Awe-inspiring show...
Your metallica reaction made by day better ✌🏼❤🔥
And i forgot to say that when you react on the and justice for all there is a 4k 60fps version choose that one for better experience
Bro I can't say enough how happy I am to see your success. You've earned the hell out of it bro and I can't wait to see how far this takes you. Keep grinding big dawg 🤜🤛
Thank you bro! Can’t wait to see how far this channel goes!
one of the best metallica songs. thank you.
First album i remember my father showing me when i was a child. Definitely shaped my music taste, even to this day. 🤘🤘
I rlly like this dude.
So cool reactions bro! Ceep going 📀
Please do the whole album! The shortest straw and the frayed ends of sanity are absolute bangers !!
Their first four albums are all pure gold! Been listening to them since around 1984 and was lucky to find them a few years before they exploded onto the rest of the world. Saw them open for Ozzy and they were fantastic and the best “opening” band I ever saw! LOL
You hit the nail in the coffin when you said it didn't sound as heavy and followed that up by saying "bass". EXACTLY! The bassist at the time "Jason Newstead" was famously slighted by Lars repeatedly telling the producer to lower the bass in the mix. This is a Heavy album, it's just lacking Jason's sound. Justice for Jason!
Keep it going man. Enjoying the genuine reactions and your joy at discovering new jams.
Seriously though, pick up your guitar, one hour a day, two hours a week, whatever you can manage. I swear there's not much more satisfaction than slammng out one of your favourite riffs, then even improvising on top 👌✨🎸 magic 🌟
A different feel, but still awesome track, is - No Leaf Clover, also by Metallica.
I have sooo many suggestions of sort if 'tester' metal tracks, to see if you'd appreciate certain genres or certain bands 😅 I'll spread them out and hopefully you'll get to some 😊.
Cheers. Peace ✌️
For anyone who want's to hear Jasons contributions to this album look up And Justice for Jason. Somebody has remixed the whole album where the Bass takes it's proper place and I feel it really elevates what is one of my favourite thrash albums.
Ok Mollyboy, you got me. Just subscribed after watching your
Blackened review. You are starting to remind myself in me and my first reactions to hearing and seeing Metallica. I'm a hardcore to the bone 58 year old metalhead. I grew up on Metallica, Slayer, Iron Maiden, Rainbow, Dio etc. Saw Metallica live my first time in 1982. I was a junior in high school. 36 live shows later I can't wait to see them in 2024. Mollyboy, do yourself a huge favor and see these METAL GIANTS while you can!!! I'll continue to follow you as long as you keep bringing the noise!!🤘🤘🤘🎸🎸
Great work bro. Most of us have said this is my favourite for 20 plus Metallica songs.
YES!!! May I recommend choosing some versions that show the lyrics as well? Some gooooood shit that sometimes that is hard to pick up with these guys
This is my favorite Metallica album followed by Ride The Lightning. Man it’s so cool to watch you experience and react to these classic Metallica songs. you my friend are hooked for life.
Great review my man. I think I’ve been watching since the 4000 subscriber mark. Keep it going.
I appreciate that!
That guitar solo is insane!
Yes, yes. And now imagine that solo live open-air. That is sooo hitting.
On your way to 21k subs already!
I had been listening to Metallica for 10 years when I figured out this was my favorite album. About 2004.
It's funny I had the same reaction the first time heard that solo. I play guitar heard that solo and said the p-off thing .cracks me up great work on the channel looks fun. Peace friends 🤘🐘
awsome reaction great stuff dude keep it up :)))
You keep reacting to these and I'll keep watching . I'll never get bored of watching people hear my favourite band .they literally mean the world to me
Back in the day, i had a perfect car system for this album. Two Memphis sub amp's, one on the left channel other on the right. They were hooked to a pair of Kenwood 10 inch subs...A mono block didn't sound right. I also had a Sony amp going to a pair of 3 channel 6x9s. it hit hard and everything sounded great on AJFA album and all others. I guess that's why it got stolen one night despite me having it chains on it. I did get to spend 7 years with that system.
I can still see the pitch black during the fade in, during the tour.
Harvester of Sorrow is another good one. Whole album is great
Hey Bro! Still the guy from Italy.
I still suggest you Fade to Black live in Brazil (Belo Horizonte), that’s my favourite one; plus, I saw your reaction to “Nothing Else Matters” so I think you should listen “The Unforgiven” studio version from the same album, after you can go even with Unforgiven 3 that is a great song.
There are few underrated songs in Death Magnetic album (The Unforgiven 3 and The Day That Never Comes for ex.)
Hope to see these videos out soon ✌🏻👍
Ps: congrats for the 10K ✌🏻👏
This is one of the best 1989 cliffs last he wrote is on this. To live is to die
Dude keep it up. You're getting the essence of it.
That late 80's bump. Also there was a bassist change from Cliff Burton(RIP) to Jason Newstad. Cliff killed(bus accident) on UK tour in the 80's.
The breakdown on this song is One of my favorite all-time breakdowns
This might be my favorite reaction!
I absolutely LOVE watching people listen to Metallica (and numerous other rock/ metal bands)for the first time!!
I've been a Metallica fan from, essentially, day one. I bought the Kill Em All album THE DAY it came out!! I was like 14, and rode my bike to our local (2 miles) record store. I went home and sat there for hours just play, flip, play, flip, etc. Had that same look on my face too!! Lol.
It DOESN'T Get Worse... And Justice For All album keeps churning out brilliant songs mate!!
Check out 'And Justice for Jason', a mix of this album that restores the original basslines in the mix
I love your videos!
I was 11 years old when my older cousin plopped this CD in my hands in 1988... Living in a rural area this was my introduction to Metallica. It was at that moment I knew I was a metal head...and due to that reason and the complexity and aggression of this album..it remains my favorite Metallica Album to this day.
So glad you are finally getting into my favorite album by Metallica. This whole album exudes the grief that the band was still reeling with after the tragic loss of the best bassist on Earth.
I know a lot of people prefer Master of Puppets, but ...And Justice for All made me really in awe of Metallica's raw talent and the effect that Cliff Burton had on James, Kirk, and Lars as not just musicians, but songwriters.
I know you also already did the music video version of "One," from this album, but the album version is much longer and a completely different experience. While the video is iconic in its own right, as it was something vastly different in a sea of sameness in the MTV generation, the song itself is a masterpiece.
Shortest straw has to be the first song that comes to mind when I think of the Justice album. :)
When you listen the title song "Justice for All", I recommend the live version from Seattle 1989 show.
Overall on this album, as many have already said, bass had mixed very quiet, which makes the personal sound of the album. In my opinion, guitars sound overall quite angry, especially combined with James's singing. Some have said, that Lars is trying to do plenty of stuff with drums, trying to mimic some "melodies" too.
The bassist Jason Newsted wrote the main riff for the song
Never stop having favorites.
Looking forward to this one 🎉🎉, another banger from this album is, and justice for all but the seattle 89 version is a must reaction. The ending is 👌👌👌, and most metallica fans will know what I mean 😉
FUCK YEAH!!!
@@jochencooper2751 the studio version is good but seattle 89 version is just epic isn't it mate. When I've built my time machine it's the first place I'm going lol
@paulash1523 I'd pay to watch a VR show of Seattle 89, like the thing that's being done with ABBA you know?
The FIRST thing ol boy noticed, was there was something "off" about the lack of how hard it "hits" 😂 If ya know ya know
That is NOT a bad thing you noticed that "quirk" right at the beginning either! Well done good sir! 🤘🤘🔥💯
The greatest intro in metal history. Doesn't matter normal or reversed. The best.
You should watch Seattle 89 in full... absolutely awesome 🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘
Perfection. Beautiful.
Check out a band called “Rage”. They are from Germany. Always loved listening to them alongside Metallica. Rage song to check out would be “set this world on fire”. If you like it check out the songs soundchaser, down, dies irae, unity…. Pretty much every song from there albums unity, soundchaser, speak of the dead. Super groovy metal you won’t regret going down this rabbit hole.
I bought this album the day it came out and saw them that year at the Manchester Apollo. Crazy night.
Lars was criticised for his "excessive" drum use in this song. Strangely, people love this faster, drum filled sound these days. Funny how times change, just as Metallica changed metal.
Enjoying the uploads, and yes I've subscribed and caught up. Keep going dude. Glad you're loving the metal scene. I was lucky enough to see all these bands in the late 80s onwards.
😂 yeah, you're going to have lots of favorites by the time your done with this journey!! "Anesthesia Pulling Teeth"!! Live in Chicago
Saw Metallica the first time this tour. Me and my friends used to trip on acid all the time jamming to this album. Wild memories.
LOVE this one!
I fuckin love this song I've been waiting on this one
When you get a chance, listen to the songs in order. Like we did. 😀 Once upon a time, track placement was the trip!!!
When this album came out I was readinga fiction about post WW III. I had this CD in headphones, on repeat every time I picked up the book. It was like the perfect soundtrack to the story. 🔥🤘🏽🔥🤘🏽🔥🤘🏽🔥🤘🏽
ALL NIGHTMARE LONG, audio. Strap in my friend.🤘🤘
Hey MollyBoy, since you’re on that album, take a listen to And Justice for All and One. They do not disappoint.
You need to react to this entire album 1 by 1, for sure!!! I want to be here for all of it! Welcome to METALIICA!!! 🤘🤘
Sooo many good tracks coming, you are not ready!
I was about your age when this came out. Still kicks you in the head and face and groin.
As a fan I couldn't wait for this album to drop , the only record they had with Jason was the $5.98 EP which kicked ass , this is at least for me is one of the best albums they have. The tour was the best concert I have ever seen , 4 1/2 hours long ... What a night 🤘🤘
This album is the reason i learned to play the guitar
Found your channel and really liking your reactions to metal. You for sure appreciate the instruments but watch a view videos with the lyrics or follow them on your phone during the songs. Metal is WAY more than just the instruments, especially Metallica and Tool.
Very well put. 100% agree with this. It's so much more impactful that way.
I was a junior in high school when this album was released. You need to listen to Dyers Eve also from this album it's one of my favs from this cassette. Lol 🔥
I love this song..
Dyers Eve is a total banger. That album in my opinion is the pinnacle of Metallica and probably the best metal album to come out for 20 years.
Imagine this song being the 1st thing we heard AFTER the success of 'Master of Puppets'.... they were the kings of our Metal world at this point in '88
This is my favorite Metallica song
RTL -84; MOP -86; AJFA -88
They killed the bass to haze Jason....sooooo stupid
That intro was recorded backwards and then they flipped what they had and got that.
Jason's first writing contribution is in this song.
The 3rd and 4th time around after they come out of the solo, James switches to the upbeat and it may be one of my favorite moments in all their songs
Rock on homie 🤘
............... isthat it? hahaha so funny, loved your reaction.
So with this album there's a few things going on. This was released in 1988 2 years after Cliff Burton the bass player on the 1st 3 albums died. There are various stories out there for the lack of bass. One is that Metallica turned the bass down in memory of Cliff almost like its supposed to be missing. Another one is they wanted to haze their new bass player. I also heard lars Ulrich the drummer say that the album sounds thinner so it would sound better on car stereos at the time. Who knows what's really true. All I know is the album is a masterpiece and IMO it's their best work. Check out a song called Dyers Eve from this album.
Told you previously; these guys are insane geniuses…..Frayed Ends of Sanity and Dyers Eve will take you apart🔥🔥🔥🔥🤘🤘🤘🤘
Love your videos man. This was an important song, most people think that metal bands are just all about noise, but these guys were singing about climate change and environmental issues back in the 80's. There was another band back in the 80's called Kreator who had a song called Some pain will last, which was also about what damage mankind was doing to the planet, us metal heads are not all stupid noise merchants.
You make these videos really well: instead of too much pausing and hee-hawing annoyingly you understand it's ok to comment and talk OVER the track too (it doesn't interrupt the listening experience so it's fine), and when you pause you get to it and then get back to the music succinctly without being annoying.
I re-iterate my recommendation of "Three Little Pigs" by Green Jelly, and I also noticed you haven't done any Megadeth yet! Megadeth is amazing in that it's one of the great metal bands but it has a distinctly more 'modern' feel to it, already did back in the day. It's still a 'legit old-school genuine metal band' but it sounds a lot more modern.
I recommend "Addicted to Chaos" from Megadeth! Of course they have other great songs and several which are more popular even, but any Megadeth fan would agree with me that Addicted to Chaos is pure quality...it's extremely well written and pretty 'operatic' like some of Metallica's greats for example.
Then you need to dip your toe into Sepultura... Roots, Territory, Refuse/Resist...if you don't know them yet you're getting into the treat of your life!
Welcome
We are glad youve joined us
Favorite Metallica song ever.
The sound and instrument of this album is really different. The compression of the sound was completely tight unlike the other album it was spreading out. I really2 love of this album.
Welcome to the world, of the best metal band on earth METALLICA
That was a fun one to watch. Imagine being a junior in high school when this came out. That was fun. too.
At this point, you are perfectly placed to do the entire album front to back. Do it! I dare you!
I saw them twice on this tour
Absolute banger of an opening track!
This whole album is absolute fire. As all early Metallica is. But this one edges it for me, it's so angry and cold.
Gotta check out Iron Maiden ‘Hallowed be Thy Name’ live from 1983🤘
This is my favorite song from Metallica...I remember buying the album at a Head shop when Justice for all came out. The main stream record stores would not carry their album. So we had to buy it at our local drug paraphernalia shop. They sold Metallica albums right next to NWA and Easy E tapes.
My favorite Metallica album
When they mixed the album Lars said, drop the volume on the base so you almost cant heat it, and then drop another five steps. They really took out their anger on their new basist Jason.
