…And Justice For All was originally released—despite what the internet might tell you— on September 7th, 1988, on Elektra Records. Certified 8 x Platinum in the United States and marked a series of firsts for Metallica:

The first full-length Metallica recording to feature bassist Jason Newsted.
The first Metallica album to crack the U.S. Top 10 where it peaked at #6.
The band’s first ever video and top 40 single (“One”).
Their debut performance on the GRAMMY®️ Awards.
Their first GRAMMY®️ loss (Best Hard Rock/Metal Performance Vocal or Instrumental for …And Justice for All), and first GRAMMY® win (Best Metal Performance for “One”).

It also received more widespread critical acclaim than any of its predecessors, with Rolling Stone hailing the album as "a marvel of precisely channeled aggression,” Spin calling it “a gem of a double record,” and ultimately placing in the Village Voice annual Pazz & Jop critics poll of the year's best reviewed albums.

ABOUT METALLICA
Metallica was formed in 1981 by drummer Lars Ulrich and guitarist / vocalist James Hetfield and in the 37 years since, they’ve pretty much done it all. They’re even releasing their own whiskey and line of watches. If you need to know more, loads of facts can be found on Wikipedia… and some of them are even true. One thing that is certain: the North American leg of their WorldWired tour resumed on September 2nd in Madison, Wisconsin, and continues until March 13th, 2019 in Grand Rapids, Michigan.
