I will say that In Justice For All however was a hell of a disappointing album compared to the first three, thus it doesn't suprise me that they hooked up with Bob Rock afterwards and went commercial. Perhaps the loss of Cliff Burton hurt them more than we know.
"...and Justice For All" is often seen by most fans as the creative highpoint of the band along with the preceding album "Master of Puppets" It was let down though with its production on the bass parts. Bob Rock was brought in to help give that breakthrough the cd buying masses.
