RE-loading Load & Reload

List is LOAD and RELOAD R A N K E D and T R I M M E D. List is mostly CUM and BLOOD yuh. I thought these albums were sick when I was 15 and I compiled a streamlined tracklist and justified it w/ LOTS of thoughts and opinions and self flagellating lfg
1Metallica
Load


Load: I wore the hell out of this CD. Master of Puppets was the first CD I ever bought and something about approaching a band twenty years past their prime helped me swallow their hard rock era a little easier. Its a bad album fs, but one I return to more often than I probably should admit to
2Metallica
Load


Ain’t My Bitch: Exemplar of every problem within these two albums; so aggressively and totally mid it becomes a lil’ offensive. Still, I like the guitar A LOT. The southern rock influences are huge here and if it weren’t for all the Hetfieldisms (“OOoohH biutch”) and that stupid chuggy riff it’d be a keeper. 2.5/5
3Metallica
Load


2 X 4: Here we fucking go! Approach this on its own terms and this is a tasty slab of southern/hard rock. Forever and always a favorite off Load, this is a AHRD keeper. 3.5/5
4Metallica
Load


The House That Jack Built: This is just such a good song. It’s a lil too AiC maybe, but it's the exact sort of gem that makes Load worthy of a probing listen. Hell, Lars’ drumming is even effective! Silly, groovy, charming – a great example of hard rock Metallica. 4/5
5Metallica
Load


Until It Sleeps: Jason!!!! 4.5/5

Okay fr this is the best pop song Metallica ever wrote this shit rules
6Metallica
Load


King Nothing: Ugh and here comes a stinker. King Nothing apes the black album so shamelessly that it stands out like a sore thumb in a bloody cum puddle. 2.5/5
7Metallica
Load


Hero of the Day: I hatttte this song except it kinda goes in the heavy bit? The production is legit awesome, I just wish the soft sections weren’t soooo tepid. 2/5
8Metallica
Load


Bleeding Me: The best post-MoP ‘tallica song bar none. 5/5
9Metallica
Load


Cure: Okay sure this def marks the fall-off where Load goes from middling and inconsistent to just garbage but I’m also an idiot and I like this stupid, groovy 4/4 nonsense. 2.5/5
10Metallica
Load


Poor Twisted Me: TOO SOUTHERN!!! I’d rather listen to ZZ Top 1.5/5
11Metallica
Load


Waste My Hate: riff sounds like some shit I’d write, i.e. uhm/ew 1/5
12Metallica
Load


Mama Said: Yeah this is fucking awful 1.3/5
13Metallica
Load


Thorn Within: Worthy b-side material 3/5
14Metallica
Load


Ronnie: Ugh this is such whiplash. I think it almost works, Het's voice is just sooooo discordant with the riff. Give me someone sexy and confident on the mic, not the uhuhuhuh of 90s Hetfield 2/5
15Metallica
Load


The Outlaw Torn: As cool as it is to see Jason at the forefront like this, I just think this song is too plodding and takes too long to get going. I like it, but its the only song I like that I'm cutting from the revised tracklist. Its too long to return to regularly and I like Fixxxer more dammit 3.5/5
16Metallica
Reload


Uh yeah so I started this list a few months ago, got to Reload, and had to take a break. I FUCKING loath (edit: LOATHE OMG) Reload. It’s a BAD album overshadowered by the generational garbage of Lulu and St. Anger, but like three of the songs are keepers ig have fun and kill anyone you see using a wah pedal
17Metallica
Reload


Fuel: THE Metallica opener, and these guys wrote “Battery”, “Blackened”, and “Enter Sandman”. Awesome in every sense, a true tone-setter that could have opened a bonafide classic with just a lil editing. 5/5
18Metallica
Reload


The Memory Remains: Pop Metallica at their most mid, esp with that corny-ass Serj Tarkjin ‘lalala’ ass outro clearly stepping from the forward thinking to the painfully dated. 2/5
19Metallica
Reload


Devil’s Dance: !BANGER ALERT! Probably my most listened to song off both albums; it just rules. 4.5/5
20Metallica
Reload


The Unforgiven II: Uh oh I’m defending a band that intentionally yeeted itself over the shark. 2/5
21Metallica
Reload


Better Than You: BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA no 1/5
22Metallica
Reload


Slither: Okay I like this one! I’d love it more as a b-side tho 2.5/5
23Metallica
Reload


Carpe Diem Baby: Ugh we’re back to the garbage, I really don’t care for this one. Maybe if it weren’t six minutes long I’d like it more, or maybe if it weren’t the fourth straight kinda midtempo southern rock slogfest, or maybe if I had been born a few years earlier or a few years later idk I’m grasping 1.5/5
24Metallica
Reload


Bad Seed: The amount of L’s Metallica could have avoided by just twenty minutes is fucking astounding tbh. This is really awful 1/5
25Metallica
Reload


Where The Wild Things Roam: Ugh I used to love this one. ‘tallica somewhat rock the cock rocking southern sound, but they do NOT have the chops for grunge (someone should have stolen another of Het’s guitars) and this has grown further and further off me each listen. Still, it's a song I’d listen to which is miles above Bad Seed holy shit 3.5/5
26Metallica
Reload


Prince Charming: God every song on this awful fucking album sounds the exact fucking same please kill my ears. I’d probably tolerate this if it were the only song that sounds like this, but there is no reason for this to be here. Six minutes gone forever thank you metallica fuck why did I do this? 1.5/5
27Metallica
Reload


Low Man’s Lyric: This isn’t good but there’s been such a dearth of listenable music to this point I’ll take it. Jason’s bass in the bridge is cool ig. Wouldn’t include it unless you really insisted on a ballad, it’s at least better than Mama Said. 2.5/5
28Metallica
Reload


Attitude: On the better side of the bad hard rock songs here tbh 2/5
29Metallica
Reload


Fixxxer: Yes I like this more than The Outlaw Torn sue me 4/5
