Product Description

From Amazon.com

With Load, Metallica takes a dramatic left turn with their music, continuing in the direction suggested by Metallica, their previous album. The songs on Load have groove; they're slower, with far fewer of the lightning-fast riffs that have been Metallica's trademark since their inception. While songs like "Ain't My Bitch" and "Wasting My Hate" are up-tempo and full of the vitriol one would expect from the quintessential heavy metal band, "2 X 4" is hard rock with a blues beat, "Hero of the Day" sounds positively mainstream, and "Mama Said" is an actual, honest-to-god ballad. While some diehard fans may find this mix unappealing, there's plenty to like about this album, including its laid-back, rhythmic orientation, and James Hetfield's characteristic growl tempered by his growing maturity as a vocalist. -- Genevieve Williams

3.0 out of 5 stars An honest review, Jun 2 2004
This review is from: Load (Audio CD)
Now, I know that Metallica may never go back to Lightning/Puppets years, mainly because Hetfield has now lost his young thrash voice, but it still is a last shine before coming back out with the awful "ReLoad", and then the EXCELLENT "Garage Inc." and then "S&M", before now coming out with the unfortunately horrendous "St. Anger"(Shame that only 4 songs are tolerable).

Now, Ain't My B*tch is a rather pointless song, WAS FOUR OF THE FIVE YEARS OF MAKING THE ALBUM, SPENT ENTIRELY ON THE LYRICS?! If it was, then it would be a complete WASTE! I'd rather just skip ReLoad and place Fuel in that spot.

On to a better song, 2x4. Above average, yet still unsatisfying. The House That Jack Built isn't a very good song, because it DOES tend to drag on (well, what wouldn't at 6:38?).

Now we get to the Fantastic 4. Until It Sleeps is an excellent song, despite the very strange beginning, still an amazing song. Heading into King Nothing(my favourite song on the album), a very good song, especially live, with an addictive chorus.

Hero Of The Day, is the 2nd best of these 4, (Next to King Nothing of course), and Jason Newsted really delivers at the start. Now, Bleeding Me is a good song, but at 8:17, it does drag on.

Cure, Poor Twisted Me and Wasting My Hate are just throwaways and just aren't noticable enough.

Mama Said is a country ballad, and a good one at that. Thorn Within is another snoozefest.

Ronnie and Outlaw Torn however, are very excellent for the 2 final cuts, Ronnie sounding the most country-like, and Outlaw Torn the longest at 9:48(incidentally just 60 nano-seconds behind "To Live Is To Die" from Justice).

That's Load, just get rid of Ain't My B*tch, House That Jack Built, Cure, PTM, WMH and Thorn, and trade for 6 ReLoad songs(Fuel, Memory Remains, Unforgiven II, Devil's Dance, Attitude and Better Than You).

Anyway, this would be Metallica's 2nd last "GOOD" stop before plummeting with St. Anger. Well, peace, stick with Black Album(even if it IS their sell-out album, it's still good), Master Of Puppets, Ride The Lightning, ...And Justice For All, or maybe get Drowning Pool and Sevendust.

Peace

This review is from: Load (Audio CD)
how can the people say that load n re-load are "sell outs" this load n reload are awsome albums. and i know its not like ther old heavy thrash days but its still really good. now i personaly love the old days. but load and reload are more mature n goes into deeper lyrics. james sings really well n this album. cant beat it. who ever says there a true metallica fan and don't like load n reload then i dont think your a true tallica fan. all the true tallica fans love this album. im a hudge fan of there old stuff and there new stuff. i love both sides of metallica. there my favourite band in the world! my fav songs are "the house jack built,hero of the day,king nothing,mama said and thorn within" really well thought out songs. and the whole album is well thought out to. but this is the grown up metallica who thinks that its time to have a change in the music buisness. and thats no problem there great grown up n child like. the lyrics n this album are deep. much more better than the lyrics n the old days. for the people who thinks metallica sold out well your wrong ur. u guys are the sell outs who think they "sold out"
