Its close for me. Aside from the way it falls off in the latter 2/3rds, its completely solid

It's about a 4.25 for me but I round up for generosity. literally the only problem I have with this entire album is that there's alot of boring filler on it, especially towards the second half. Still the good stuff on here is fucking good as shit

Exactly right. The Thorn Within is horrible

There's some real dog shit on this though lol ("2x4", "Cure", "Poor Twisted Me). Some catchy songs for sure but I just can't view this like '83-'91.



If they chopped off 5 of the worst songs, then I would agree that this is a excellent release.

They should have chopped Thorn Within, Poor Twisted Me, Mama Said, and Cure, subbed in Unforgiven 2, Prince Charming, Memory Remains, and Low Mans Lyric, and it would have been a near classic.

I agree with replacing the shitty Load tracks with the good Reload tracks. Though I'd probably better with lobbing of the bad songs and keeping this at around 60 minutes.



For me, the shit songs on here are "Thorn Within", "Cure", "Aint My Bitch", and the song which I've considered to be the WORST Metallica song, "Poor Twisted Me". "The House That Jack Built" is a song I don't like but that "THE HIGHER YOU ARE, THE FARTHER YOU FALL" is fucking great

I forgot about "Thorn Within," holy shit what a terrible song too lol. Forgot about "Prince Charming" too....awesome bluesy instrumentals and melodies in that, but I remember thinking the lyrics were horrible

I really don't like "Prince Charming" because of how shitty the lyrics are

Cut the best of both, and Hans is right, you could make an awesome record:



Re-Loaded,

1. King Nothing

2. Fuel

3. Ain’t My Bitch

4. Until it Sleeps

5. The Unforgiven II

6. The Memory Remains

7. Bleeding Me

8. Low Man’s Lyric

9. Hero of the Day

10. The Outlaw Torn

I totally dig Fuel, man. It's not even like a Metallica song, but still a classic in my book m/

Fuel is awesome, can't imagine how any fan of metal would not think that song is, at the very least, fun as hell

True - especially Hans who usually gets a boner over anything fun with riffs
