And Justice for All is musically progressive , with long and complex songs , fast tempos , and few verse - chorus structures . The album is noted for its sterile production , which producer Flemming Rasmussen attributed to his absence during the mixing process . The lyrics feature themes of political and legal injustice seen through the prisms of censorship , war , and nuclear brinkmanship . </P>
