The truth is that Lars can't keep time to save his life and speeds up every song, and (I believe) refused to change his playing. They spliced it all together at the end somehow.

There is a somewhat recent clip of them doing One floating around somewhere. Lars doesn't even make an effort to play that part anymore.
Justice was a devastating album, even though the bass feed was lost in the mix. I can still listen to that album today and feel like I'm turning into a werewolf or something. The riffs are so harsh, but excellent.

When I was a teen I used to tell people to play that record in their car and turn the volume way up, if their speakers didn't fart, they had a good sound system.
