It's so annoying they didn't decide to remix this album with Jason's bass for the 30th anniversary.

The Lars-as-bassist mix is an insanely hilarious dunk on Lars, love it

Damn, Jason was shredding that bass. It's a real tragedy that literally nobody will ever hear it. I appreciate you bringing his work into the light so to speak. I hope he sees this.

And this is why modern studio engineers don't mix with the band in the room.

It already sounds mean, but with the bass, it’s sounds like an absolute monster

Maybe it's because it was my first Metallica album but I love the mix. Sure I'd love to hear more of Jason, but there's something about how the low end used to make my speakers rub that just brings back nostalgia.

Please make the complete album!😭Sounds great man!

I love that with Jasons bassline there's a real pulse to the verse

My brother and I got this album as kids - I mean like junior high kids, and we both knew it sounded terrible, but we didn't know why, aside from us thinking the kick drum sounded like garbage. Once we started getting into music we put most of it together, meaning the missing bass, the guitar tone, the terribly dry snare. But it wasn't until we were adults, actually doing recording, that we started isolating what went wrong, and it really is a TON of mid-low to mid-high frequency just absent. It reminds me of how I'd EQ things when I was a kid - push up the low and high,. the U EQ. So we futzed around with it, in a DAW, trying to get the most out of it. My brother was MUCH more experienced, and after a bit, he shook his head and said "I can't boost something that isn't there to begin with." Sad....but true (hehe). So to see someone go back in and punch this sound up, for me, is so f'ing cathartic, because we tried, and we didn't get even close to having it sound as good as it does here. Well done man!

Not at all a wannabe sound engineer but it's incredible how much better it sounded. It seems like AJFA was bassless but their next album really thrived off Jason's tone.

Actual studio audio engineer: “this mix is fried can’t get the parts back” BTK: “Hold my beer”

Bob Rock, the genius behind the Black Album, should get a freaking award not only for making it, but for actually taming those two clowns.

The thing is, you can hear the bass so well on the first Garage Days EP, that came out before Justice.....so they could have done it if they had wanted to

JUSTICE FOR ONE OF MY FAVORITE METALLICA BASSISTS! Thanks for doing this Mike. You're a hero to the metal community.

I'd love to hear your take on the entire album. That little demonstration sounded immense!

Thank God for Bob Rock on the black album. He got the drums and bass sounding fantastic.

damn, you really brought new life into the track without choking the personality. some of those bass chugs in the verse brings a new energy to an otherwise fairly simple section

While the AJFA guitar tone is IMMENSE, I’ve always thought of the absence of bass guitar in the mix to be a representation of the loss of Cliff.

Anthrax's Among The Living was a perfect mix of high end studio polish and garage band raw energy. That's how I think Justice should have sounded. To me when I first bought the album on vinyl it sounded like they were playing in a big, empty room with walls made out of tin cans, all high end with too much distortion and zero bass. Even Lars bass drums sound more like wet rags slapping rocks than thunderous thuds.

Is there anyway that we can hear the full version of your mix? I think it's safe to say that most of us who are this invested in an old Metallica own a copy already.

Become the Songwriter sounds like an awesome new video series. Also i have heard alot of "And Justice for jason" remixes on youtube, but honestly yours is the best i have heard so far.

At 7:00, the motion James made was a defeated shrug. You can see it in another video

If you're not, you should be making records man. This is an incredible transformation. Justice for Jason and the rest of the metal world.

I would re-buy this album in a heartbeat with your remixing! You made everybody sound better overall. The drums have more punch on the attack and less “whomp”. James’ vocals are cleaner sounding too.

It would be cool if Jason saw this. He should know we all wish the bass was louder

Hearing how Lars made his drums sound like empty trash cans back in the Saint Anger days makes this all sounds absolutely like what Lars would do...

EYE, Shortest, Harvester, & Frayed!!! Jason ruled!!

PleasepleasePLEASE! Do more mixes like this giving Jason the credit of how much his bass lines SLAP! He has been an inspiration to myself and tons of bass players. He deserves that much if not more.

The weird thing is that the $5.98 EP has a pretty good mix. Now, that may be because the songs they covered had bass parts that weren't locked to the rhythm guitar 100% of the time but you can definitely hear bass throughout. TBO, I was a little disappointed in the sound of Justice upon release but I got over it pretty quickly.

I really like how this was mixed and mastered. I wish you could do this with the rest of Justice album.

At 18:18 my jaw hit the floor. Holy shit what an amazing job you did. To hear it as it with so much power is some serious talent you have.

Dude...the difference at 18:28 - 18:41 is incredible. Top work! The song pushes so much better. Bravo man 🤘

It's not just that bass is back. The WEIGHT is back.

i dont know shit about mixing but i could visionize everything you were saying in that "nerdy mix things" part. like in 14:00, if the original mix sounds like a cube, your mix sounds like a rectangular prism extending away from you. not getting wider, not taller, not bigger, it's not another shape, it's a rectangular prism and it's extending away from you. your way of explaining things have always been astonishing and this video is no different. great video sir!

I'm a bass player and, ironically, AJFA is my fave Metallica record. Your mix absolutely rules and I would pay cash money for physical media of it.

the a b sounds like a blanket is being taken off the speaker, the original sounds so muffled

I love that hot Bass mix. If you ever decide to do the entire record that way, take my money 😅 Also that if Lars was the Bass Player really made me fall off my chair 😂😂😂

Great mix. It’s bizarre how much high end they wanted on their records. I’m surprised Newstead stuck around after that.

Id love to hear your version start to finish!

Another piece people don’t recognize: stereos and speakers in the 80’s were designed around mid tones. It wasn’t until Enigma and their first hit Sadness came out that bass kick became prominent. After that, the entire industry changed; especially with rap becoming predominant over rock.

That is an ultimate "fuck you" to Lars at the end, I LOVE IT 😂😂😂😂😂! Thanks for the video, absolutely outstanding job. I'll be waiting for the official release lol

Out of all the remixes I've heard on KZfaq, this is definitely the best one, good job man, sounds awesome 🔥

I love how the bass is boosted but not overbearing like a lot of remixes people do for AJFA. It's loud enough to hear and add to the song, but it doesn't muddy the guitars. Plus all the other stuff you did to everything else to make things sound bigger and clearer

Holy shot this sounds amazing the best revise of this album I’ve heard yet.

I actually like the original mix (I still feel that it compliments the songs on the album), but it's amazing how much better yours sounds! Fantastic.

Man! Rex Brown even mentions in his book Lars himself admitted of "ribbing" Jason Newsted and turning down the bass.

Nice work! I'd love to "hear" Justice with this done all the way through. It's got so much more. The mid clarity is so much better. Digging the mix!

Man this was a fun watch/listen. The vocal cleanup was my favorite part. Yeah you did some nice magic on the bass but getting that vocal cleaned up was fantastic

I love the guitar tone in this album not because i find it thick and massive. To me it is more thin and sharp and that's what makes it great

Amazing what a small change can do. A lot of the fan mixes have way too much bass but this sounded just right.

DAAAAAMN, Lars did Jason DIRRRRTY on that album. Those bass tracks absolutely slay!

Dude, LOVE this! Wish u can let us get a copy. Do the whole album. That heavy bass mix is awesome! Love IT

On Kill 'em All the bass is vivid and strong. They started lowering the bass on Ride the Lightning. And if they can remix and remaster old Stone's and Pink Floyd records they sure can do it with And justice for all.

Metallica’s cover of The Prince is how the album should’ve sounded. From what I understand, it was recorded at the very beginning of the AJFA sessions. The Prince has a nearly identical mix to AFJA, but Jason is actually audible to beef up the overall sound and note attack. …And Justice For Jason always sounded overkill to me on the bass guitar.

Those are great mixes! I feel the same about what you said at the end with the extra boost on the bass sounds legit. Hetfield was right about the mirroring guitar/bass parts though. That has been the ultimate Achilles heel of metal as an entire genre in not quite achieving the complete spectrum of sound. The vast majority of "bass players" aren't actually bass players. They are subpar guitarists playing a bass. Prime examples, the legends of bass in the genre like Geezer Butler, Steve Harris, and Cliff Burton all float between playing along with the drums, the guitar, and adding their own flare when appropriate. None of them ever strictly play along with the guitar like most bands did especially during that era i.e. Slayer, JP, Anthrax, etc...Those bands all notable have zero low end in their mixes on nearly all their albums. Even if they were mixed right it still wouldn't have as full of a sound.

Newsted: How about these kick ass bass tracks I made? Lars: Uh....about that.... This is one of those albums I always wanted remixed.

I also recall hearing that James and Lars were mixing the album between dates on the Monsters of Rock tour they were doing at the time. Can you imagine how blown out your hearing must have been and then you go mix a record? Seems like a bad idea.

Ulrich has always made selfish decisions, while he's the worst musician in the band. Sometimes I'd have appreciated if the other members fought their way and their convictions against him, with the help of James, but he always seemed to not wanting to fight with him and that created much shit in the engineering of their albums. It's amazing what you did, it's so good.

Anyone else want to hear the full song (and album for that matter) with this mix? Make it happen Mike!

Great job. Probably the best I've heard on YT. I still love the sound of that album (guitarist lol) and another mix will always be weird, but, this is great. Really cool to actually hear the parts

I actually really like the AJFA sound. It's extremely dry but somehow it fits perfectly.

I would pay full price of the album with your mix and take a listen for once like it should be!

Wow! This is so well done! Great presentation of it all. Good job, man!

Great job man!!! I think your second bass mix was it. Please complete the rest of the album and post. I would love to hear the rest. Justice for Jason. Love the bounce of his tone. It really compliments the rest of the parts.

this is dope! good lord this record sounds so much better without the neglected bass treatment. can you upload your remix somewhere? :D

Ahh... And Justice For All, every bass player's worst nightmare 😂

That second one with the bass heavy tone.. is effing awesome!!

what a improvement in your mix!

One of the all time tragedies of metal. I listened to the whole album where someone else just basically added all of the bass as it should have been and it was fantastic. Well done at least showing or calling out what really happened and what should have happened

actually i love the mix. never heard a better guitar tone, indeed the bass is highly missing but the rest is absolutely insane imo

The Smart thing Bob (trickery said to the band) before the Black Album. He said, I want to get more of your bigger live sound in this record. Or in basic we need some thump bass lol

Wow, that first mix of yours sounds awesome! I was EXTREMELY disappointed when they didn't actually remix it for that 20th anniversary edition. If only ...

Lack of bass, in my opinion, is why the guitar tone works amazingly well on justice. It’s the best tone they’ve ever had, aside from the mixing issues with it.

We listened the shit out of Justice in the 80s. No one was around to tell us it sucked.

E string on a guitar is 82.41Hz (drop D the lowest tone is 73.42Hz, on an 8 string it goes as low as 23.12Hz or tuned lower to 20.60Hz), in order to get any "lower" colors of that pitch (aka the character of the tone and guitar - strings, body, neck materail etc. - natural deviations in the physical properties of the vibrating system), you need to allow for lower than 82.41 Hz. Alot of character of voices and instruments are lost in modern recordings because deviant resonant frequencies of the materials, halls etc. are not taken into account - it is also very hard to find any speakers that go as low as for example the lowest note on a grand Bosendorfer piano, which is 16.5 herz, on a normal piano it is 27.5Hz and a contrabassoon 29.14Hz. Research also suggests that exposure to infrasound can cause feelings of unease or discomfort, possibly due to the vibration of body tissues. Similarly, ultrasound can be used in medical imaging and therapy, where it interacts with body tissues in ways that can be visualized or felt. What that means is that frequecies are detected by the human body way beyond the 20hz-20khz spectrum. The uniformity and sterility of modern day digital production is generally awful.

That was sick! I *really* liked your original mix. Thanks for a great video!

The ironic thing IMO is that it doesn't affect the drums much at all......

The vocals on the original sound better, but you certainly improved the other instruments.

Dude this sounds AWESOME, let's get a whole album of this 💯👏🏼

BRROOOO this sounds so freaking good!!!!!!

Wow! It sounds SO much better. Back in the days I took a peek into that album, but it sounded for me too weak and I considered it shit back in the day.

Thats is probably the most frustrating thing ever: to realise how friggin' massive the album would have been if the drums didn't sound like crap and there was actual bass. I mean: the songs are pretty stellar (most of them), so a massive sound would have blown the roof completely off.

When I was a kid, I non-ironically asked my older brother why bands needed a bass player, since Metallica didn't have one. He laughed and said they did. Guess which album we had been listening to?

I actually like the mix at 19:18 the most

If this album had better production it would probably be hailed as the best Metallica album. The songs are fuckin' killer, the jist is there. It only needed to be delivered to the listener in a more refined way.

Your first mix was the best and one that I would want to listen to. In fact, please do the full album...

This is so good. Very cool to learn about your process as well!

Ah man, you missed the best part of the story! Apparently after the release and the press laying into the album because of the lack of bass, apparently on a flight Lars was sitting next to Steve and flat out asked him “Hey man, what happened to the bass in the mix?” I read an article on Loudwire or something about it and Steve said he wanted to fucking punch him in the face lol. Can’t blame the guy Really well done remix though, definitely better than the other remixes I’ve heard which usually seem to just turn up the bass track and muddy the whole mix. How’d you get the stems?

Yea. That mix wasn’t good. Great job mike! I also respect that you kept the original fun but also make the mix more balanced. WELL FUCKIN DONE!!!!!

Honestly, my ideal mix for this would be somewhere between the two mixes you showed us. Not quite as overpowering as the last one, but a little more present than the first one. Great work!

*AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA*

The mix on AJFA is perfect. The cold, clinical sound that's scooped to hell and back is what really makes the album stand out. It really goes with the entire concept of the album very well.

I got to hang out with a the sound engineer that did this album and got the first hand story of Jason's bass being turned down.

That sounds amazing. Jason is amazing. That pulsating bass line during the chorus is sick and I was never able to hear it before.

I'd love to hear the mix Steve Thomson had in mind.

I wouldn’t change a thing about AJFA. Best album they ever made and the scooped tone was just heavy af. The drumming and the sound of the drumming was Lars at his best in my opinion.

Holy shit your mix really does slam. Nice work! Love the bass in your face mix too......hillarious!

I don't mind the original and official remix versions, but it's crazy how just with those few adjustments you made both sound like demo tapes The bass is back in full glory, but not blown out like many remixes do, James' vocals sound way clearer, and the drums sound even tighter I'd die for the entire album to sound that monstruous and loud Stellar work!

Metallica is ultimately a two-piece band. Hatfield and Ulrich Trujillo and Hammett could go on and do their own thing with huge success. They deserve so much more than what we take for granted

I want that second mix style done on the whole album. That sound who get the adrenaline going for the gym.
