"Eye of the Beholder" is a song by the American heavy metal band Metallica. It was released as the second single from their fourth studio album, ...And Justice for All released on October 30, 1988.[2]

Lyrically, the song concerns imposed limitations on freedom of speech and freedom of expression in general. "Eye of the Beholder" is notable for its chorus section containing {{music|time|12|8}} time played, not as an ordinary compound quadruple time, but as a syncopated rhythm. The rest of the song is a more conventional {{music|time|4|4}} rhythm at a slower tempo than that seen on Metallica's previous three albums.

The song has not been performed live in its entirety since 1989. It has, however, always formed part of the medleys of songs from …And Justice for All often played by the band in concert during the 1990s as an alternative to playing full songs, many of which were seen as too difficult because of the numerous guitar parts. One such "Justice Medley" was featured on its 1993 live album Binge & Purge.[3]
