Before The Black Album, which Metallica album was released immediately before the 1991 record?
Answer
...And Justice for All
...And Justice for All was the Metallica album released immediately before The Black Album in 1991.
...And Justice for All was Metallica’s fourth studio album and appeared in 1988. It followed Master of Puppets and was the band’s first studio album to feature bassist Jason Newsted, who had joined after Cliff Burton’s death.
The Black Album then became Metallica’s fifth studio album and represented a major change in production and songwriting approach. Listeners sometimes choose Master of Puppets because it is one of the band’s most famous albums, but it was released two albums before The Black Album, not directly before it.
