Re-load - Metallica > Reviews

Advantages: Better Than Load
Disadvantages: Too many fillers

There was a deep suspicion about this album right from the off, as it was written at the same time as "Load" and could therefore be regarded as rejected material. The band vehemently denied this of course, claiming that the two records are vastly different, and I have to say I broadly agree with them, and feel that this is better than the last release. There are several excellent tracks - "Fuel" (real old-style monster riff), single "The Memory ... Read review

Advantages: Fuel is a brilliant song
Disadvantages: Some very bad songs

I have downloaded a few (three or four) Metallica songs from napster, and really liked them so I decided to buy an album. I was recommended to buy 'reload', however I couldn't find it in any shops. Luckily I was in London and decide to go to Tower Records, under the illsion that they would have it. And they did, so I bought it for the huge price of £16.49 (which I thought was sooo much), I bought it dispite the huge sum of money needed to pay for ... Read review

Advantages: Good riffs and solos. at 1 hour 16 you get a lot for your money
Disadvantages: A couple of disappointing tracks

Despite criticism from cynical Metallica fans I rate this as one of the best Metallica albums. The album is a departure from their heavier, more aggressive sound on albums like 'And Justice for All' but as an album in its own right it is still very good. The best tracks are The Memory Remains, Carpe Diem Baby, Bad Seed and of course The Unforgiven II. The Unforgiven II is my personal favourite, combining good lyrics and a solo that is up there with ... Read review

Advantages: Classic metal moments
Disadvantages: Samey

Love them or loathe them the men in black go on. From the opening aural assault of Fuel to the dying embers of Fixxxer this is yet another Metallica classic. You’ve got full on Hendrix tinged rock (Fuel), grinding sludge (The Memory Remains), epic power ballads (The Unforgiven II) and classic metal (Better Than You). And that sums Metallica up. They are no longer confined to the limitations of the thrash genre. In fact, its almost undeniable ... Read review

Advantages: good songs, nuce lyrics good beat Better then last album
Disadvantages: Not as polished, not the same speed or class as others

This album was highly controversial when released and many fans did not want to know as it was just a different format from the black album and Master of puppets which are slightly better. It is still an excellent album with some great songs like Fuel, Memory Remains and Carpe Diem Baby. It has not quite got the class, the speed the adrenaline of the other albums. I certainly prefer it to the previous album Load which was not polished enough. When ... Read review

Advantages: great music.
Disadvantages: none

i have been a metalica fan for a while know and have a lot of their albums after listening to matellica load a couldn't way to get my hands on reloaded.

My favrote song on the album is unforgiven 2, but all the songs are exerllent and it is a must for all metallica fans. The lyrics are excerllent, ... Read review
