For those who are complaining about the reverb on the vocals, that’s unfortunately how I got the stems, I used zero reverb on the vocals with Justice and Blackened. Will definitely reupload if I get my hands on the raw stems. Cheers!
@Lean Clean Recovering Machine Its no ones fault, but Newsted's, for sucking. He didn't adapt and tried to play F&J with a completely different band, with a completely different dynamic. His bass parts sucked and they did the best they could with it. You can hear this, in particular, in the To Live is to Die 'rough mix', where the bass is clean, clear and audible... and then the rest of the instruments come in and its overpowering and turns to wubwubwubwub mud. The band is Metallica, not Newsted. It was his job to adapt and fit in, not crybaby about how unfair everything is.
Sorry to reply to a one-year-old comment but I am 100% there with you. Both of Metallica‘s heaviest moments are off of this album in my opinion. You have the exact moment that you mentioned but I think it’s heavier live in Seattle. And then after the first hook when they return to the main riff in “harvester of sorrow“ on the live shit binge and purge version. Those are Metallica‘s two heaviest moments in my opinion. Really good call man.
Great part is that's actually the second half of the verse riff, which is just honestly really awesome to bring back without vocals for a bridge. Its so heavy!
There are a million other crappy sounding “bass” remixes of the Justice album... I have become jaded. But THIS is amazing. Hands down the best version I’ve ever heard. This should be the official version. I can’t even listen to the original anymore. Fantastic work.
I can listen to the original because I much prefer Spotify but this is a whole nother level. The original sounds so dry in comparison, this feels so full of life and power

On November 2nd (for the low low price of $200) Metallica is selling a giant box set with a fully remastered Justice in celebration of the 30th anniversary of the album's release! They've released a couple singles/songs from the set on spotify and the results are PROMISING.
This has been done POORLY by so many other people that I almost missed this... This is BY FAR the best mix of this song that I've heard anywhere. My hats off to you!
"Dad, why is my sister named Computer?" "Because your mom is so glad that she can finally hear her computer through the stereo." "Oh. Thanks dad." "You're welcome And Justice For All Bass.""
Nah man, I love it. People have this obsession with metal having to be as raw, primitive and as dry sounding as possible. Sometimes a few effects can enhance the sound even more and can sound overall bigger and heavier. So I don't get all the complaints tbh.
@ADF Audio If you didn't know, they made Jason's life hell when he first joined the band. They were mourning Cliff, they were really angry, and they took it all out on him. To his credit, he hung in there, because he believed they had the same vision about where the band was going. He also wanted to play a bigger part in creating the music. Unfortunately that was when they were fighting Napster, and it was taking up all their time, and Jason wasn't a part of that. He had a lot of ideas, and a lot of things he wanted to pursue and develop, including creating art. So he moved on, and that was 19 years ago.
I was 15 when this album came out. I was already a huge fan by then. The funny thing is though, I never had a true fist pumping, teeth gritting, headbanging vibe listening to this until now - because of this remix finally putting some life back into the original. Until now I was really just living through the Cliff Burton years. Great job. The vocals only threw me off at first, but then I became quickly used to them and it didn't seem off at all. Just the first ten seconds or so. Awesome. I want to buy this version of the album.
I love what you did to the snare, that echoing sound... The song sounds like It's being played in a huge hallway, kinda what I always expected this song to be played in. Very impressive work! :)
@@daario4278 Except Metallica doesn't mix their albums at all. Heck, the mixer of that AJFA album wasn't happy with what Metallica wanted and Lars actually told him to turn down the bass a lot. The mixer actually thought it was a joke.
Well, I listened to the song, and here's what I think of it: The song sounds so much bassier. I like it, although there's such a stark contrast with the album counterpart ( Not so bassier, more like the guitar tone ). The vocals fit much better the song, however, in some sections they don't seem to suit. Again, the song sounds bassier, thank to the addition of bass and changing how the drum sounds ( more or less ) to make it have that effect. The guitars sound almost exactly like in the album part, which is honestly good, since they didn't need a change. For what it's worth, I'd say this remix is overall better than the normal AJFA. Although, since the AJFA album was meant to be very raw, I'd say to have the original experience go listen to that one, but if you want something well produced and with flawlessly execution, you know where this song is.
While listening to this music when I was 16-17, I wondered if I would be able to enjoy the same music when I got older. I'm 46 now and nothing has changed. because metal music is universal.
It's amazing how much heavier and less harsh the already heavy and aggressive AF Justice tone can sound with just the addition of audible bass! This is the true AJFA 30th anniversary remix!
This sounds like I'm in college and my neighbors are performing this song while I'm listening to it through the walls at 2:35 AM on Tuesday, November 13th at Hoboken, New Jersey while I can't sleep because I'm thinking about my grades and worrying about my future.
Not only is the bass audible, but the drums sound sooooo much better Haha. I tried to master the entire and justice for Jason album. The three main pitfalls were the shitty bass drum, the mud in the rhythm guitar, and also each song was mixed down differently, making it difficult to create consistent masters. Like the one for Harvester of Sorrow was thin and nasally, maybe had phase issues. Frayed Ends of Sanity was also drenched in reverb despite the album going for a more dry garagey approach.
Very clear bass, mixed perfectly without being loud. Very good job I've hear other Jason's tribute versions, but this bass its very discrete, clear and well fusioned. I feel you have cleared guitars too or could be rested distortion, in sometimes it seems to be the black album. We need the complete album, more justice for Jason 😉👌. Congratullations, and thanks.
I know where you are going with the the vocals verb, it’s more like the older albums, ride the lighting, master. Well done. I always thought the vocals were way to dry on this album, well, all of it was too dry.
I Love the reverb, reminds me of Ride the Lightning. Ride the Lightning is the first Metallica album I heard, I started loving the reverb, I think it sounds great.
Honestly, I can kind of see some truth in what Hetfield said about Newsted's bass playing on AJFA. The rhythm guitars and bass are definitely fighting for similar sonic space. That being said, there's no excuse for what they did to the bass on the original mix and this is much more pleasing to listen to. Great job, man.
Good job I like it. I used to listen to this album on the bus in 4th grade. Now I play bass and I can really hear the difference. Cant hear original the same again. Damn that was early 90s. Hope you all stay safe out there in this crazy shit we living in 2020.
