Omg this was awful album and I erased it from my memory. And I’m even not a Load and Reload hater ( I think Load is a masterpiece from that particular time, fits the late 90s very well and I will gladly die on that hill). St Anger was and still is pure f*cking horror musically and lirically

Imagine the load album with them having long hair , the reception would have been totally different . This album had great music , but was overlooked by the haircuts

I saw someone else say this one time and it’s so true. Jason saved Metallica twice. The first time was after Cliff died and they needed a bass player for the next 15 years. The second time was at the end of that 15 years by quitting the most successful heavy metal band of all time was a wake up. Call that they desperately needed. Not only did it make them stop and realize that they really need to treat the next bass player much better but they need to look at themselves and fix some things. Since Rob has joined band He’s actually done more writing than Kirk has if you start counting songwriting credits and he’s allowed to do stuff with suicidal tendencies every now and then. nobody freaks out and acts like it’s the end of Metallica goes and plays a couple shows with his original band

He should have joined Megadeth.

I always felt people that stuck to a genre were a bit… stuck up and pretentious. I’ve enjoyed stuff off of every Metallica album - I can’t stand it when bands don’t change or evolve… coz then I get bored.

I lost respect for Metallica when Lars Ulrich, that has made millions, tried to get Napster shut down saying it was theft. Causing a 20 billion dollar law suite.

Here’s the general consensus I get from the fan base about these songs: Frantic - Decent opener and song St. Anger - Fine enough title track (Damage Inc. even played it at a concert I went to recently) Some Kind of Monster - Awful-to-mid song with basic-ass 0-3-5 main riff Dirty Window - Not really that bad Invisible Kid - Awful piece of shit Shoot Me Again - Mid My World - Also awful piece of shit Sweet Amber - The shining beacon of hope in a sea of shit The Unnamed Feeling - I don’t know, I never hear anyone talk about this song Purify - An affront to god, an abomination even Lucifer would refuse entry to his domain All Within My Hands - They named a CHARITY after this song? All I can say is: Purify has the most unpleasant chorus I’ve ever heard. The backing vocals in that section are so ear-splitting I want to carve my ears out so that there’s an ear shaped hole on each side of my head.

Bought it with my own money when I was 13, shovelled snow and did chores for weeks. The ads hyped it up to be like the next big album of the century LOL I think I played it once and practically threw it away

Terrible crap Lara and James

C’mon man it’s shit

None of this would have happened if cliff didn’t pass away

“Lars is gay” is the best song on ‘Load’…..IMHO

I never understand the knock on and justice for all, I love the sound of that album, its still my favorite Metallica album, soubd and song wise, better than the black album in EVERY way

I need a cube and Dr. Dre album

I still love old metallica till this day i listen and play it on guitar. When load came out I had no idea they changed their look. I just knew the music sounded different. They never were the same. It wasn't necessarily bad but it sounded more like a parody. Then re-load came out and I felt the passion or something was gone. I think it happens to many bands. All my old favorites could only pump out about 5 albums, the 5th being a little push towards the change. I loved korns first 5. I say nirvana had 4 albums because I include unplugged. Maybe it's them growing up, or getting sober. Or knowing their brands are enough to tour on, idk.

Dude you need to do more Metallica vids

The only songs I revisit from this album are Dirty Window, Shoot Me Again, and Unnamed Feeling. Those are the 3 I can listen to and enjoy to some degree. Kinda cool how they took a song like All Within My Hands and redone it for live recordings like S & M 2, because the version presented on this album is hideous, imo.

St. anger was banging on pots and pans

We don't love nu metal now? lol

I got the black album on tape at age 7, in 1993. It was my first metallica adventure. I spent the next 5 years saving up and exploring their older albums. Then I saw their new one, RELoad, totally unaware that “Load” had been released. When I saw Load I was like, they changed the artwork. Wait, no. WAT?!

Metallica is absolutely not worth being called the biggest anything in the world. They're bunch of false wankers. Already shown that with the way they treated the man ,who composed the songs,that put em on the map. After Burton died I never bought anything of their music. Basseless Justice and then that pop,country,rock nonsense,that had about 3 interesting songs and a bunch of slow,soft commercial songs for girls.

They're lucky he didn't tell them to fuck off,years before he did leave

As a newer Metallica fan, Load has become my favourite Metallica album

Pantera blew it up during Monsters of Rock!

Saw them 4 times two during the Justice record and two during the black record. Before the haircuts! After that I stoped caring. I kept up with them but, wasnt as into them after Load/ Reload. Im 52 now. Grew up,and old.

11:19 Headbanger's Ball with Riki Rachtman, does anyone have an upload of that episode?

I absolutely can’t stand St Anger especially when compared to their other albums i can’t stand listening to it and personally it got worse with time

saw them in 2017 in Toronto, they still had it, best concert I've been to

I genuinely love Load and Reload. I think they're amazing albums. Can't argue that songs like Ain't My B*tch, King Nothing and Fuel don't go hard!

Always been "team Deron" but Chad's Ween shirt is pretty cool ngl

@adarkerstandard man common "some kind of monster " with "sweat amber" are the best songs liryc one

“We’re here to play some music” Then stop making fun of someone who is dead and start strumming that guitar you goof.

As much as I respected Metallica in the past, nowadays I find the behavior of some of the members so disgusting, that I simply cannot listen to any of their music. And their last albums.... While trying to listen to them all I could think of was that I wanted to take the drumsticks from Ulrich and stick them up his ***. I don't think he would last even a day in any other band. IMHO.

So the guy was hunting and didn't have anything to write with so he uses bullets.... but he had paper? Don't believe that story. Either way, saw them twice during this period and was happy they played very few songs off Load. I only wanted to hear Outlaw Torn but never got to on those tours.

metallica died with cliff, AJFA with burton would have been something else

I really love the Daryl Gardner re-working of this album, where they re played it and engineered it from scratch with high quality production and mastering. It makes the original sound like crap.

Load and reload both are really good albums

The insecurity was amazing

Jason was able to be part of Metallica all those years cos he was simply ‘Midwest Nice’…one look at their reality show and you know James and Lars are not easy ppl to work with…kudos to Jason for powering through it and giving us some memorable performances.

They were right about Napster too. Back then I was against them. I was wrong.

Oh and "Garage Inc." and "S/M" are both excellent releases.

Great album and a ballsy move. Now that's the true Metallica spirit. Playing exactly what they want, honestly, without warring about sales. They were truly reborn. And no, it's not even remotely "nu-metal": Sounds more like garage rock, clearly influenced by bands such as the Datsuns, only 10 times heavier. Good stuff.

If those albums actually did sound like a mix of Waylon Jennings, ZZ Top and C.O.C. they'd be truly great albums. Sadly, that's not the case. They are incredibly boring works and a clear sell out move. Thankfully, Metallica bounced back from that, but those albums are a stain on their discography. Live, they were still great, but that's because they played mostly old-school songs. Oh well, nobody's perfect.

A lot of people give up pursuing education to take gangster to the next level. I'm glad it all worked out for Jason, though.

Load is a good album.

What happened to Metallica? Lars & Jim are crybaby millionaires with psychiatrist bills & legal bills & hush money bills. These lawyers want a piece of the T-shirt business. Their like shark mobsters that can smell money from a mile away. Bob "Cock" Rock

These records are radio friendly designed corporate packaged items for your simple minded consumption. We want your money.

As a Metallica fan I absolutely love Load & Reload. You def need some balls to drasticly change ur style, and Metallica fkn nailed it. I truly believe that if Load & Reload were made by some other band, those albums would be some of the 90’s most iconic albums.

Mike is one of my inspiring singers of all time, in fact I learn how to write songs based on Owen's song itself. and by the way.. The Fall Of Sioux is a great album!

Load and Reload are not "fails", imo. They are bloated, yes. But they are not fails. They just aren't metal. They're hard rock records, and great ones at that.
