The silent bass: The story behind Metallica’s quiet ‘…And Justice For All’ bass tone
1988’s album “…And Justice For All” by Metallica is admired greatly among metal enthusiasts, but it frequently faces criticism due to its almost undetectable bass guitar sound. To put it simply, the “Harvester of Sorrow” record might have yielded more bass sound! This was Metallica’s first album with bassist Jason Newsted, who joined the band following the unfortunate demise of Cliff Burton in 1986.
