and the opening track from their fourth studio album, ...And Justice for All (1988). – I recommend to spell out the release date.
- Done.
nuclear warfare – link in lead
- Done.
Hetfield and Ulrich also produced the track with Flemming Rasmussen – why "also"? Who else produced? Only three producers are listed in the infobox. Later you say "The album was produced by Flemming Rasmussen with some assistance from Hetfield and Ulrich", which sounds even more different.
- Adjusted.
Due to decisions made by the band during the production – is it possible to specify these decisions/reasons?
- I don't think these decisions were ever made clear beyond rumors.
If Newsted is amongst the songwriters because he wrote the base riff, and Hammett is not one of the songwriters, who wrote the guitar solo?
- I'm not sure if this was ever clarified, but Hetfield and Ulrich wrote the rest of the song, so I think that should be clear enough.
The "Composition and lyrics" is somewhat incomplete. It discusses the beginning of the song but nothing after. What is the time signature? Which chords? What about the guitar solo which is not even mentioned?
- I've tried to expand it a tiny bit more but the chords are never disclosed in a reliable source and some of the information in the song is never properly discussed beyond the opening. In-fact, that's an issue with many songs. The opening is what is memorable, so that's what they discuss (unless there's something in any book sources that I can't access but I don't think so based on previews). But again, I've tried to expand it a bit more as I was able to find the time signatures and information for the solo. Hopefully that's okay.
another "another rallying-call opener" – delete the first "another"
- Done.
Optional: Other articles, like Enter Sandman, include a short sample of the song.
- Don't think there's any section of the song that would meet WP:SAMPLE or WP:NFCC.
That's all. I don't see issues with the sourcing. --Jens Lallensack (talk) 17:11, 7 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
