I'd give this a 3 but it's 20 minutes too long

Album Rating: 4.5 | Sound Off

Personally, I don't think that after becoming millionaires they had much to thrash about.



I love Load. Hard. Its my 2nd favorite Metallica album. I don't care. The high points are so high and Hetfield was on top of his game.

Album Rating: 1.5

The highs are so much lower than the first albums lows... lol

It's crap.



@JeffRules: indeed, that's not what happened. What happened is these guys never had any clue how to make good songs. They just happened to be in a band with Dave Mustaine and Cliff Burton. I know tons of local guys that can play the drums better than Ulrich. And Hetfield is nothing special on guitar and not a very good singer.

Still, they did alright until this album, imo (even though i really dislike AJFA).



@Maco: Stop trolling. Megadeth might have had some ups and downs but they never went as low as Metallica (Load/Reload/StAnger/Lulu...what an awful streak lol). And they're still thrashing.

Album Rating: 4.0

I'd take Megadeth over Metallica every day of the week.......ESPECIALLY the discographies as a whole

Album Rating: 1.5

^ Same here. I also like Megadeth's classics more than Metallica's...but there's no denying that Ride the Lightning and Master of Puppets are classics, though.

And i really don't like Metallica's attitude. They just want $$$. Check the ridiculous prices for their concerts. It's been going on for years(decades?). With the "quality" of their music in the past 15 years, it's no wonder i haven't (and never will) seen them live.

Oh and they don't go in fests. The popularity they gained with the black album really went to their heads. Some bands live for the concerts, the tours...and others just want money.

Love Megadeth and their discography is better overall, but 80's Metallica is a different story.



Here's the thing Faenrir, they didn't have to be virtuosos; they knew how to write music. Could you find better players? Probably, there always will be, but I doubt they could have done what Metallica did. Outside of the politics, money, and the fame of Metallica.. they were once a young talented band that made classic records and history can't be denied.



Now, as far as where their passion lays anymore I have no idea. I saw them live 20 years ago, and I saw them a couple time in the 2000's and they still put a show on.



In the mid 90's I couldn't defend my favorite band anymore, doesn't feel good, but I won't deny that they weren't once a great band. Sometimes I pretend these records... don't even exist! lol

So, in general which are the best picks from this album that everyone seems to enjoy? As much as I love Metallica I never listened to this in its entirety.

Album Rating: 3.5

i dig every track but bleeding me and the outlaw torn are the best

Album Rating: 4.5

What Shadow said. I also really like Until It Sleeps and The House that Jack Built

Album Rating: 1.5

Nothing to enjoy here, ikarus. Move on lol.

Album Rating: 3.5

"bleeding me and the outlaw torn are the best"

Album Rating: 3.5

i'm not even gonna check, i know that's my comment haha

bleeding me and the outlaw torn [4]

Album Rating: 4.0 | Sound Off

Two of their best songs for my money.

Album Rating: 3.0

Master of Puppets and Ride the Lightening exist so no

Album Rating: 2.5

I want to rate this a three bitter relationship, but I do like some songs on here, but man I can't get past all of it. The sad thing is it's probably better than their last two albums (at least the good songs defeintly are)

Album Rating: 4.2

bleeding me and the outlaw torn [5]

plus Until it Sleeps

Goddamn this is a fine record

Album Rating: 3.0

I'm one of those people who wish they kept going in the direction of old Metallica before they became more of a business than a band.



If Cliff didn't die and Lars was fired, they'd be one of my favorite bands of all time. Sigh.
