Dyers Eve – Metallica For all of the albums released during Metallica’s glory years, And Justice For All occupies a bit of a weird space. As much as the band may have still been firing on all cylinders, there was an almost progressive tinge to some of these songs as well, stretching everything out into long drawn out exercises just for the hell of it. Thrash was about more than just heavy riffs though. This was a genre born out of punk, and they saved all that energy for the final song on the record.
Right as we wrap up the touching Cliff Burton tribute “To Live is To Die,” “Dyers Eve” is the fastest that Metallica ever got during the ‘80s, making something that had the same bite as a hardcore punk song with the finesse of a metal track, with Kirk Hammett’s leads stampeding across your brain every time you hear them. Even though the song’s lyrics may have just been about teen angst, the construction of the track is enough to win you over, with James Hetfield reaching superhuman levels of intensity on the breakdown sections of the song, putting all of those years listening to people like Johnny Ramone to use.
And anybody who has ever slightly complained about Lars Ulrich’s drumming needs to hear this track alone, as he practically drives the band along for 5 minutes with the double bass hitting you right in the chest every time you hear it. Metallica may have gone down the more radio friendly road just one album later, but every high energy track that they’d ever made seemed to be preparing us for this.
