ONE

Although I am certainly not a full-blown Metallica fan, I do love this song. It stands out to me as their best, most masterful, most progressive song, and it's one of the few songs they've written that I really love. Starting off relatively mellow yet dark, some good bluesy soloing plays quietly over the trademark clean riff and the vocals kick in. Before long, the metal starts erupting and things get heavy.

The original artwork isn't much to look at and there is nothing here that you couldn't hear on a more 'complete' release (like a studio album, or even a compilation) but for the song's quality, it deserves a rating of four stars. However, the single should only be sought out by collectors and completionists, simply because the album this song comes off of is among the band's best. Despite the good rating I'm giving it, the single itself isn't worth the purchase if '...And Justice For All' is also available. Buy '...And Justice For All' instead!
