The album continued Metallica's exploration of thrash metal, combining aggressive guitar riffs, fast tempos, and socially conscious lyrics. It also displayed the band's willingness to experiment with more melodic and atmospheric elements.
The cover features a colorized version of a photo taken by Metallica's manager, Peter Mensch, depicting an electric chair being struck by lightning. The artwork was controversial and faced censorship in some regions.
