Songs:

"Battery" is about anger and refers to the term in the sense of "assault and battery".

"Master of Puppets" is about a person battling the inner voice of their drug addiction.

"The Thing That Should Not Be" was inspired by H. P. Lovecraft's short story "The Shadow over Innsmouth", whose protagonist battles unearthly forces.

"Welcome Home (Sanitarium)" was based on Ken Kesey's novel One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest and conveys the thoughts of a patient unjustly caged in a mental institution.

"Disposable Heroes" is an anti-war song about a young soldier whose fate is controlled by his superiors.

"Leper Messiah" challenges the hypocrisy of the televangelism that had emerged in the 1980s. The song describes how people are willingly turned into blind religious followers who mindlessly do whatever they are told.

"Orion" is a multipart instrumental highlighting Cliff Burton's bass playing. It opens with a fade-in bass section, heavily processed to resemble an orchestra.

"Damage, Inc." rants about senseless violence and reprisal at an unspecified target.

The alternative spelling of my name comes from the back cover of their 1987 album The $5.98 E.P.: Garage Days Re-Revisited where singer James Hetfield signed it Jaymz and I always thought it was cool and even when my son James aka Jimmy was born I suggested it to my wife but she didn't agree. So when I started Geocaching my Profile name was bronx10463 but I would SL JAYMZ so I was finally able to incorporate it into my life!
