This is easily my favorite on the album. Pure anger. Considered their last pure thrash song, this might be their best. The guitar and drums are insane as well.
Probably the most instrumentally challenging Metallica song to play?? This song is a real monster
"Had I three ears, I'd hear thee. Had I louder speakers, I'd be blastin this fire 24/7." -Metalhead Shakespeare (maybe)
This is my other very favorite song of all time, alongside Damage Inc. It's absolutely the most ferociously thrashy song in their discography, and is just pure unfiltered rage from start to finish.
The way it storms it's way into To Live is to Die. Really catches the attention due to the fact that it scares the shit out of you if you're not expecting it.
The long drawn out note with the descending drums. . . . .then it happens. The ferociously furious power of Dyers Eve comes to town. It's so insanely fast and still has a rhythm to headbang to, and no speaker can possibly be loud enough for it.
The sheer anger in James's voice really conveys the meaning of the song an a great way.
The solo. THE. GOD. DAMN. SOLO. HOOOOΓΓΓΓΓΓΕLY FUCK. From that opening wah you can tell it's a good one. The squeal/scream after it sounds so angry, and then the part at 3:48 where it crescendos into a high B is my favorite moment in all of Metallica's songs.
The post-solo riff. So good.
Forgot to mention the double bass throughout. Lars was really at his peak in this album, and an absolute monster in this song. God mode beast Lars is no longer available.
If this song was a woman, I would fall in love with her immediately.I only say this because today is the two year anniversary of the day I fell in love with my crush It's so fucking great, all 10:28 of it. From the abrupt start to the even more abrupt finish. I love how it ends. It just...ends. That's it. That is Dyers Eve. That is And Justice for All. That is the end of Metallica's thrash period, and the end of the greatest era of music.
11/10. Amazing and perfect in every way.
Best drumming by Lars in any album on any song right here. The sheer power of the double bass during the verses just pumps me up.
Masterpiece. I love playing the main riff.
FUCKING THRASH
Favourite song atm, pure thrash and anger. Drums are amazing, vocals are intense af and the lyrics cut deep. I love for the βfucking lullabyβ line. I love the solo, and if you listen to the bass track or ajfj, the bass fits in well too. I wish they played this more as it seems perfect to mosh to.
Absolutely amazing. This is peak anger Metallica, this album is a masterpiece, right alongside MoP.
I encourage anyone who shits on any Metallica members to listen to this album, and then shut the fuck up.
This is the best "go out with a bang" song that they've ever done for a studio album. Unlike songs such as Damage, Inc. or My Apocalypse, which only suggest that they're heavy, this song IS heavy. Its riffs, along with its use of harmony in its vocal lines and solos, make this song uniquely emotional for a "fast ending" song.
While the typical "heavy" riff uses tremolo picking on the E string, this song goes for a more distressing sound by using a B minor riff with various complexities scattered throughout tremolo-picked Bs. (If you still think it's a trill and not tremolo picking, you're an idiot.) This detail instantly allows the song to improve vastly upon its MoP and Death Magnetic equivalents, which sound almost lifeless in comparison.
An important, yet overlooked aspect of the song becomes apparent with the first verse. The guitar riff becomes a slow progression of power chords, but the drums become a brutal onslaught of double bass. This trend of the drums and guitar trading their speeds persists throughout the whole song, save for the intro and its repetitions.
This trend is perhaps most appreciably applied during the solo. Hailed as one of Kirk's finest moments, this section is also a successful collaborative effort from both the rhythm and lead sections. In the first half of the solo, Kirk blazes through a gauntlet of notes above an equally quick guitar riff, while Lars strolls through the simple rhythm used throughout some parts of the song. Kirk begins the second half of the solo with some slower notes, during which a fast double bass section occurs. Just a few seconds later, they trade speeds; Kirk plays fast triplets, and Lars returns to the regular drum rhythm. The final quarter of the solo happens in reverse; Kirk plays through a soaring flurry of high notes, but slows down when Lars' double bass begins.
The bridge after the solo is a unique section of the song. Its drum rhythms call back to the song's previous bridges, but the guitar riff emulates the song's main riff. James belts an emotional curse toward his lack of parental guidance before a proggy transition into the song's final verse.
After the song's final verse, the intro briefly repeats before an abrupt end.
There may have been no other appropriate way to end ...And Justice for All. This album shines as a dark and brutal contrast to its predecessor, Master of Puppets, while simultaneously building upon what the album started. While the album has gotten its fair share of mixed-bag opinions, it's possible that none other of Metallica's works (even my beloved Magnetic songs) could match this album's uniquely angry and brutal tone. In my opinion, this album is a climactic end to Metallica's '80s career, and it perfectly embodies their post-Cliff Burton state of mind. Dyers Eve is an easy Fantastic/10, as well as the album in which it is contained.
