I liked the bottom-heavy sound of Justice. I didn't like the way the songs felt like they were a minute too long. It seemed rather drawn out. Like a Kevin Costner movie.

Hmmmm, probably a fair point.... Tracks like Blackened and Harvester of Sorrow are just pure genius Metallica though.

When I watched "Some Kind of Monster" it was sooooooo sad that it had gone from the brilliance of the early days into some kind of Springer/Oprah reality-soap-bullsh!t.... :-(

Cheap Trick played three of their albums in their entirity at a series of shows.
Dio did the entire Holy Diver live last year.
Deep Purple did all of Machine Head live a while ago.

Pink Floyd was first, I'm sure.

Oh, and Dream Theater did all of MOP in order before Metallica did! DT also did Number of the Beast live.

Phish played the Beatles' White Album live.

Dream Theater also did their "Scenes from a Memory" and Pink Floyd's "Dark Side of the Moon" live. Didn't one of Les Claypool's bands do "Animals" live a few years back? And, I think Primus did "Frizzle Fry" for their Hallucino-Genetics DVD.

Has Rush ever played an album all the way through? I'd love to hear 2112 live!

Harvester is a great song. . .I also agree that "Some Kind of Monster" showed them all as being just a bit too moist. Specifically James and Lars.

I'd say The Who's "Tommy" was first, but it really doesn't matter. I don't think it's a bad thing to perform an entire album on stage, especially if the album is well-liked. Queen's "A night at the opera", or Zeppelin's "Physical Graffity" Live - wouldn't it be nice?

In order, no. They did play all the songs from Hemispheres live in shows on that tour (but not the European leg where they dropped "Circumstances"), but they did not do them all in a row or in order.

If you go to you tube in type in Metallica live 2006 there are some cool videos of all the puppets songs including the full version of orion recorded off europen tv.

Pink Floyd also did the whole version of the wall back in 80.

Its cool when bands do an entire album if its a great album.

I wish AC/DC would of did all of Back in Black a few years ago when they were younger.
