Metallica's first music video was from this album. It was a video of "One" featuring scenes from the movie Johny Got His Gun and was released in 2 versions. These two music videos are sold on VHS as 2 of One.

My notes/review:
This is a great album from begining to end. Though Metallica doesn't play many songs from this album during their concerts, it is still filled with many great songs that are fan favorites and receive some air play. The most famous song from this album (and the only one regularly played live) is "One." Other notable songs include "Dyer's Eve," "Harvester of Sorrow," and "Blackend." The other songs on this album are also very good.
From Rolling Stone:
Some Metallica freaks complained that "Justice," even at nine tracks clocking in over sixty-five minutes, wasn't enough of a good thing - too much art, not enough aargh! But the fury of Metallica's speed 'n' slam is compounded by the complexity of the band's attack. And while most other metal bands were out there raving about the devil and their dicks, Metallic singer-lyricist James Hetfield addressed censorship ("The Shortest Straw"), our dying planet ("Dyers Eve") with the imagination the music demanded.
