Review about Eye of the Beholder Perhaps the best song of the album | Reviewer: Anonymous | 7/25/09
Eye Of The Beholder has very interesting lyrics concerning freedom of speech and expression and concerning democracy. Musically, the main rythmn and melody conveys the feeling of a powerful grudge. The riffs and drumming contain a lot of interesting subtleties and details that add finesse to the piece.
Eye Of The Beholder is a very an exellent song indeed.
many things | Reviewer: shane | 5/25/09
This song is absoluty a masterpiece. Hetfield will go down as one of the great poets of our time. A lost art. Think about it no one does this in our time. It is left to the song writers of the world to do. He articulates a view quickly, dilligently, and with raw emotion that anyone who listens to it imediatly understands. On may subjects as well for example FOR WHOM THE BELL TOLLS, CREEPING DEATH, and DEYERS EVE. Just to name a few. This song is about mans inate understading that freedom is not free there is always a price to pay for it. And the fact that liberties are just a moment from being taken away.
feed that bullshit to the people who come to your church, This is obviously a conceptional song/album of The Judicial System of America,
Independence limited
Freedom of choice
Is made for you, my friend.
Freedom of speech is words that they will bend
Freedom with their exception.
Example, You can buy beer from a Store/Bar, get wasted and that's fine, but if you drive a car and kill someone, that's your fault not the enabler which is the store/bar who sold it to you. No different from a man who would sale a crackhead a crack rock on the corner to make him self some money and to destroy someone else. "Independence is limited" "Freedom with their exception" being the Government/Judaical System. Preach that at your church, or better yet show them the DVD zeitgeist that's the real world, the world we live in. www.zeitgeistmovie.com/
This one, as so many of Metallica's song are so general they can be applied to different situations. For me being a preacher, I can relate to the situations where some men pretend to be of God while subjecting others for their own monetary gain... to me this song represents a person trying to break ties to a cult. Might I also suggest King Nothing, as a compliment to this song
How they vote are you joking | Reviewer: Anonymous | 1/4/09
Who cares how they vote it doesn't matter, if you are a fan and have followed hetfields life you will understand exactly what hes saying its not so much political as it is life in general, how we are molded by our parents who have been brainwashed themselves into material goods and also who creativity is destroyed through the daily grind of bs that is the world today
if you listen to the lyrics in some of their songs
or read them it explains things that people go through in everyday life and also the little things not just what the song is based on. example: penetrate the smokescreen i see through the selfish lie.
wait a minute wait a minute wait a minute | Reviewer: Anonymous | 4/15/08
what? is it entirely possible that they arent talking about america? because this is the talk of an "ozzy osbourne" type drivel in his music and i happen to know for a fact that both james hetfeild AND lars ulrich both vote republican.
kirk hammet is an independent and robert trujjilo doesnt care.
Deep lyrics much? | Reviewer: Dartigen | 2/24/08
You know, I was surprised. I was genuinely surprised. Metallica never struck me as the 'anthems of the revolution' type, but...well, here's proof of my error. Best part is, they just said it as it was - didn't bother with examples, because the song is simple enough to get its point across. They didn't liberally scatter profanity either - they just didn't need to.
Freedom | Reviewer: Tyler | 12/30/07
Eye of the Beholder represents our total freedom as American citizens. It also shows exactly what people ask themselves everyday. It also shows that freedom only lasts a certain amount of time unless acted upon. Keep it up guys.
Sad but true | Reviewer: Nate | 12/19/06
The chorus could not be any more precise. We have the freedom of speech but it is limited by our government. May I suggest Justice for all as well.
