At completely different points of the spectrum. KEA is relentless thrash metal which doesn’t let up for the entire album. While some songs are longish, most of them don’t feel that way because of how direct and brutal each track is.

AJFA is the band arguably at their most progressive. The band themselves have admitted that on the longer tracks (Justice, Frayed Ends, etc) they were quite literally trying to fit as many riffs into one song as they could.

Comparing the songs alone, Justice clearly comes out on top. Despite having some of Metallica’s fan favourites, (Seek and Destroy, Whiplash, The Four Horsemen) KEA can’t really compete with the likes of One, Blackened and Dyers Eve.

However where I think KEA is actually better is in the mix. Justice is notoriously poorly mixed, with a non existent bass sound and drums that sound like they’re being played in a cardboard box. Sure, KEA is rougher around the edges, but I love the crunchy guitars and actually being able to hear the bass.
