- Deffinetly Metallicas worst album, and i loved St. Anger and Load.
Well this is kind of a hard one to review as i only listend to it twice and it may grow on me soon. The best track by far is Fuel no doubt about. It's just something is missing from this album which made all other Metallica album awesome. I dont know what it is maybe it's lack of passion for the music i have no idea. The best songs other then Fuel are The Memory Remains, The Unforgiven II, Carpe Diem Baby(wicked chorus) & Attitude. Those are the only songs i think are awesome at the moment. Devil Dance is ok but something about it annoys me. I thought Load was absolutely amazing same with St. Anger, I dont know why but i just dont think this album aint that great. I donw know i hope it grows on me soon cause right know i dont think much of it. My advice is leave this album till last and buy the other metallica albums first. Worth checking out if you're metallica fan and have albums but this.

I think Metallica made a good decision by experimenting on the "load albums", but they could of been a little bit more careful and self aware when they decided to do this. They lost a huge part of their fan base because of their huge musical and physical transformation, ok, they became commercially successful when the "black" album came out but it was an amazing record and already its remembered as a classic album along with their 4 pre-1991 albums.
I personally think ReLoad is a pretty good album, I have no major problems with the way Metallica evolved during the Mid-90's. It was a natural progression for them, because bands do get boring if they release the same old thing over and over again. The record itself is quite a shock for any old school Metallica fan listening for the first time because there are so many different influences you can hear that aren't what you would hear from a Metal band.
I think you have to be open minded and listen to a broad range of music genres to appreciate what the band did on ReLoad and Load, many "metalheads" can be very close minded when their favourite band starts experimenting by playing shorter more radio friendly songs with influences outside of Metal, they see it as a band selling out...
I first started listening to Metallica about 5 years ago just before St Anger came out I bought Master Of Puppets after a guy I knew recommended it. I was totally blown away! It was THE greatest album I had heard (or ever will hear) So afterwards I became hooked and bought Kill 'em all, Ride, Justice and black. From there onwards they became and still are my favourite band.
I was well aware of ReLoad and Load I had heard the material from the albums but at the time I was not impressed, I was more interested in the old stuff. It was just last year when I decided to re listen to ReLoad (and Load) and it really grew on me and now I feel bad for neglecting the albums because they are pretty good!
I believe that Metallica should of merged Load and ReLoad together using the best from both albums into one 12 song album, that would of been easier for the band because they would of had one solid and consistent album with 12 great songs instead of some of the weaker songs that made it on the seperate albums ReLoad and Load, there definatley would of been less controvery from the fans and media.
I think the main thing that attracted me is that ReLoad is quite unique sounding and are hard to categorize and the whole stripped down song structuring was such a positive thing because the band realised they had potential in making short bluesy hard rock songs as well as the 8 minute thrash metal epics on the first 4 albums. So now over the years Metallica has gained an amazingly diverse catalogue of material. This album, along with Load will grow on you over time.

After setting new and astonishing standards in metal since the early 80's, this shows the bands corporate sell-out and musical sterility hitting another low, after the terrible 'Load'. Not much more to say.

- Metallica's Worst Album
There have been some positive reviews of this album but I have to say no I totally disagree. Im a huge Metallica fan and have nothing against bands going in a different direction but sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't. I think the flaw with load/reload wasn't the new direction but that there wasn't enough material to stretch over two albums and this is obvious on reload. It starts off well with the the first 4 tracks being some of the best stuff Metallica have done but it rapidly goes downhill afterwards. The rest of the album is just instantly forgettable and just boring material that should have ended up on the cutting room floor. I think that if 2x4, poor twisted me, mama said, thorn within and ronnie were removed from load and replaced with the the first four tracks from reload it would have made for a great album instead of one solid but unspectacular album and one awful album.
