That entire album applies to the present day world more than it ever has before.

[@bruceprophet8367]

One of Metallica's most underrated songs imo. Wish they would play this live again

[@LukasProvencher-Noon]

Sadly they would never as it is one of the most awkward songs to play on this planet lol

[@justinstgermain5646]

​@@LukasProvencher-Noon why awkward?

[@grimtimr7795]

This song was written in response to the PMRC(Parents Musical Resource Center) attempting to censor music they deemed innapropriate for kids. They targeted artists of nearly every genre, mostly metal. There were congressional hearings to decide banning sale and distribution of music. In the U.S.A.! As a young metalhead back in the 80's, it seemed like every band had a similar song about censorship, Megadeth's "Hook In Mouth" is one of the best imo. Also EVERY music fan should see Twisted Sister singer Dee Snider's testimony in Congress on this issue. Dressed like he was ready to hit the stage, he shocked the stuffy old fuddy duddies with his eloquent defense of freedom. The end result was the Parental Advisory stickers on cassettes and cd's, which only let the kids know what the cool shit was!

[@antonpopescu1261]

great info, thx

[@peddersoldchap]

nowadays the censorship is done by those that were politically against the PMRC back then!

[@horizonblack]

It was the future, their present, and the past. There have always been people who think that freedom of speech should be stifled.

[@bradmotl2083]

Not disagreeing, but the other side of Freedom of Speech is society’s reaction… which is also Freedom of Speech… I always think people who yell “freedom of speech” are those who are being jerks and don’t want to deal with the consequences. Freedom of Speech is a two way street that too many on either side treat as one way (their way).

[@horizonblack]

@@bradmotl2083 We agree. In a Democracy, Freedom of Speech refers to your relationship with a government, nothing else.

[@yarikyaryi]

​​@@bradmotl2083there can't be any freedom of speech at all. Majority of society must decide what's appropriative and what's not. In USA that's somehow decide minorities. All those words about freedom, democracy etc just lies for ordinary people, nowhere is the world now exist any freedom or democracy, only illusions of them.

[@daviru02]

@@horizonblackWe're not a democracy, we're a Constitutional Republic which states very clearly the rights of speech in the 1A

[@daviru02]

@@bradmotl2083 The problem is our politicians latch onto one sides' argument against the other side to stifle that other side. If it was the free market of ideas and people could actually discuss things, the truth would come out. But dialogue has been stifled. Especially since Covid.

[@antonpopescu1261]

Such an underrated song. My favorite Metallica album. More technical and complex then before, and James's voice was more mature. Changes in tempo and solos are mind blowing

[@skykn1ght78]

Yeah, I was surprised to see someone react to this song. The intro is epic and it just keeps going.

[@georgen5882]

Honestly a really great song. I agree, very underrated overall from their library. Every once in a while I just need to hear this song.

[@metalmark1214]

The title does not appear in the lyrics. "Eye Of The Beholder" comes from the phrase "Beauty is in the eye of the beholder," meaning that people see things in different ways. Our perception is our reality. This song is about how despite freedom of speech, America isn't really free: "You can do it your way if it's done just how I say." Is the perfect tag line to describe that. But sometimes lost on some is that freedom goes hand in hand with responsibility.

[@metler7642]

you can say want you want to say, if it's said just how you tube says. *cue Lars*

[@ryanparker4996]

​@@metler7642 you van do ot your own way, if its done how Susan says

[@RatBotEins]

One of my favourites, often overlooked. Amazing lyrics and music. And this whole album pretty much describes the last few years we have lived, and does it very well. Things like "Blackened", "Frayed Ends of Sanity", "Shortest Straw", "...And Justice for All", and of course this one, seem to fit really well in times of confusion and conflict, like the one we are living in.

[@Brando-Lee3725]

Yeah hardly no one talks about Frayed Ends of Sanity . That is a truly underrated song from them . I've never seen them play it live either .

[@RatBotEins]

@@Brando-Lee3725 They have played it two, maybe three times, and teased a bunch. Its full debut was, I think in 2014, and I believe it triggers some things deep inside so it's almost out of the live catalogue.

[@ekgrafix]

And they followed up this album with singing about the boogeyman ... sad. But true.

[@Brando-Lee3725]

@@ekgrafix Right LOL ! Damn what a swerve ! However I did dig some of the black album . mainly the second half . But in zero way did it touch the previous records

[@ekgrafix]

@@Brando-Lee3725 I remember buying the black album when it came out n took it to cd exchange same day , 5 years later I tossed a garage days re-revisited cd out my car window cuz I heard turn the page on the radio. Lol guess I was a bit jaded

[@t_bone12571]

One of Kirk's shorter solos but it's fun. Quite a lot of time signature changes and a gritty rhythm guitar holding it down. Lyrically fantastic too.

[@Matyo120]

Gotta do harvester. That song is HEAVY

[@daveg7948]

The AJFA album changed my life forever politically, Eye of the Beholder specifically. It was like hearing my own private thoughts sung to me. I'll always love this song

[@shmick6079]

These are some of James’ best lyrics of the decade. His 90s lyrics are a lot different, very introspective and often great as well.

[@2deth3]

"Washington Is Next" by Megadeth is another song that is more relevant now.

[@michaelvanderburgh1088]

“And the newest slavery is to keep the people poor and stupid” .. relevant lyric

[@metler7642]

Also "End Game" and "Return To Hangar"

[@Brando-Lee3725]

This album blew me away as a kid because the super catchy riffs sewn together with very odd time changes that flowed together seamlessly was mind boggling to me in 88 ! Not to mention that killer drum sound . Lyrics throughout it were awesome too .

[@Brando-Lee3725]

This will always be my favorite album from them . Its just SO damn great ! Most people say Master of Puppets , their previous album is the best . Not me . .....And Justice all the way !!! I cant wait to hear your opinion after reviewing both albums through fresh eyes/ears . You know what I mean lol !!!!

[@stevenalexander6713]

One of my favorite songs on the album. Groovy hook, catchy chorus, very on point lyrics. Love it. I'm glad you liked it too.

[@mountainmoose6653]

One of my favourite Metallica songs. I wish they played it live more often.

[@manokreck5468]

Next, "The Shortest Straw"

[@nightwatch888]

When I was teenager I fell in love with Metallica because of their music, energy, etc. But now I'm falling in love again with their lyrics.

[@DavidSeeley-gd9wc]

[@ricardosilva-cy3xe]

Agree. Those stacatto riffs are outta this world. Have you heard the demos from this song on the Deluxe version? Man, there's a brilliant fill Lars does after the solo that would be a killer if it had make it to the final version.

[@rodgerwilliamsscambaiting1196]

The only thing disappointing about this song is they rarely to never play this song live due to one of the members (I think Lars) does not like the song

[@DHB82]

More megadeth,ashes in your mouth,better metallica...✊🏼

[@Ragnar6000]

eye of the beholder is just so timeless......my favorite song from that album!

[@neilpatrickhairless]

Every bit of this album is about how corporations will take over and dictate everything imaginable from what you see and think, war, the environment, everything, using money as the thing that keeps people from caring that it is happening right in front of them.

[@JesseJames7-8-9]

1994, 14 years old, dabbling with some metal, some grunge, some hip hop. Heard this song and a buddy was learning it on guitar. “You can play this?” “Kinda… Learning” “Can you teach me?” Guitar play was born 🤘

[@billwong553]

To me, this is the theme of And justice for all. My favorite song on the album.

[@TheChromeRonin]

If there was a song to describe 2023, it would be “Speak” from Queensryche’s album Operation Mindcrime from 1985. Still as true today as it was then.

[@metalmark1214]

For a song title that sums up 2023. Doobie Brothers - What a Fool Believes For the title, not the song subject. Discernment is very lacking today. Sometimes ignorance isn't bliss, it's just stupidity.

[@theunholinesswithin70]

Yeah, being bothered by words is completely irrational.

[@donavonhoward114]

This is the perfect song to describe the difference between my truth, your truth, and THE TRUTH. There is only one truth, even if it's not revealed to us at the moment. Truth is objective, but it's easy for subjective opinion to masquerade as truth, or to pervert the truth. People use half truths all the time to justify their own stance, or opinion on things. If a person knows the objective truth, but decides to add their own opinion into it, or outright change it, it's a straight up lie no matter what their intentions are. Teachers lie to us all the time, especially now with public schools implementing lying to kids about facts of life. As a repercussion, kids are growing up further and further removed from reality. Some adults never grow up. A lot of us with caring parents have heard the classic line, "you are special", and "you can do anything you want to do in life if you work hard enough". That's a great thought, but it doesn't tell you how to succeed in life. A lot of times, that's why kids graduate from college, and can't find a job. They did all of the work, spent all of the money (sometimes with loans) for absolutely nothing, and some of them don't think they should have to pay back the money they were lent for their education. It's better to be taught to take advantage of what you are best at, maximize your efforts, and find a sure way to make an honest living with it.

2023 would be summerized by everything is upside down. What was normal when I was growing up is now somehow bad. And the "cancel" culture.

[@kyleperkins2596]

Wow...that's some interesting insight...this song is kinda prophetic, so to speak...in which... it's really just common sense with anyone with a sound mind with inspiration..

[@greatmystery11]

To know and not to know, to be conscious of complete truthfulness while telling carefully constructed lies, to hold simultaneously two opinions which cancelled out, knowing them to be contradictory and believing in both of them, to use logic against logic, to repudiate morality while laying claim to it, to believe that democracy was impossible and that the Party was the guardian of democracy, to forget, whatever it was necessary to forget, then to draw it back into memory again at the moment when it was needed, and then promptly to forget it again, and above all, to apply the same process to the process itself-that was the ultimate subtlety; consciously to induce unconsciousness, and then, once again, to become unconscious of the act of hypnosis you had just performed. - George Orwell, 2024

[@krysvanceofficial]

I enjoyed this very much, actually I would say 1,000 Eyes from Death is maybe a song that aged pretty well.

[@sylvainvanduyl6143]

What song would be best for 2023? I have no idea jet... What song is the best to discribe my point of view now....on the world? Maybe it 'Tired' by Stone Sour. Maybe War Pigs is a good song for 2023...

Music Excessive! Really ?. You should please appreciate the "Excessive" Lengthy music from back then. The frayed ends of sanity is way more Ecessive although you didn't mention it there.Thats what Metallica do! Most bands these days couldn't write a lengthy song to save their life! Enjoy the music. Your getting your money's worth when paying for a cd or Vinyl or if your a guitar player like me you appreciate more to play..Please don't say Negative things about Metallica. By the way. James is Rhythm & Kirk is Lead. You CAN hear the difference! It's all gonna be gone some day soon! Artificial intelligence crap will take over everything! YOU WATCH MAN! so enjoy every freakin Chord and note being man made.....

Not so much “prophetic” as relevant to its time, upon which we have yet to improve! They’re talking about censorship in one direction: From Artist to the public. Today we deal with it from ALL directions, and the biases are even more intense. “Freedom of speech” doesn’t even MEAN the same thing to different Americans, any more than facts do. They should do a sequel to this song that’s even more fucking chaotic dystopian to reflect what’s happening now. THANK YOU for doing a “reaction video” with substance and integrity! 🤘

[@seanscott]

this whole album was highly politically charged and still has relevance to this day

The sad thing is that Metallica's words apply more to today's society than the one in which they were written. Wake up youth...people died for freedom, not control. You gotta speak up against control.

Yep, this was definitely inspired by the Reagan era. But yes, history rhymes, repeats, and in the case of the last decade, intensifies.

One song to define 2023 ?? it has to be and justice for all. it defines perfectly what society has become. The power you have, whether it be money or social standings, the less the law applies to you. just buy your way out of everything or ask the right people for favors.

[@kyleperkins2596]

My favorite part overall is the intro... about halfway through it

No one reacts to this. Machine-like at the start, (the system) released 34 years ago and describes news and social media perfectly. Also, no Mustaine influence but it's the best metal album ever, no matter what they say, the sound can't be beaten.

[@av3nger3]

Truth is objective. There is no such thing as subjective truth. Subjective truth implies that one infers absolutes about the world based on experiences they have had in their personal lives. For instance, a person could say, "all men are pigs" and some people will say that is the truth and others won't. The statement that, "all men are pigs" is objectively untruth. The person making the statement is presenting a misconception formulated from trauma (likely) and their trauma and attached emotions act as confirmation bias. It is objectively true that the person claiming that "all men are pigs" has had some event or link of events that lead them to feel this way, but it is not objectively true. It's also mathematically all but impossible for it to be true.
