Black and Justice were both incredible, different ends of the optimal spectrum regarding production and arrangements, but had all the key elements that made the first five Metallica albums still the five best albums I've ever heard, and are elements completely lacking from every Metallica album afterwards: great riffs, harmonized guitar parts, melodic clean parts, strong dynamics, at least one storytelling melodic solo in every song, logical arrangements designed for optimal growth, top notch lyrics, a percussive sense to the rhythm guitar and accented touch to the drums which worked off each other with a unique tightness, and above all a consistently high standard where every note had to be awesome or it wasn't there, and every song had to be really good or you didn't bother - Hetfield reportedly loosened up after Black in his own words and stopped being anal about every note before it made it on a Metallica album, as he put it. I suppose the lesson to songwriting guitar players is to be a totally anal asshole at all times, or your band will suddenly start sucking.
