Metallica:

Ok, so why I've been pondering this for a long time now, i don't know; For me, I don't think Load and ReLoad are great albums, but I like them far more than ANY of the material since; i just can't get my head around St Anger,[no one else can either, thankfully] DM, or Hardwired. Obviously the first 3 are the masterworks, Justice For All was great, the Black Album is just, gosh, what it is-- amongst the biggest records of all time; Load and Re just seemed the Next Step, not classics but good just the same; any thoughts appreciated, agree or disagree, i'm basically just comparing the last 3 to Load and Re is my focus here, thank yous to All!!

I have only just started listening to them,and bought Master of Puppets first,which grew on me the more I played it.Then I bought Ride the Lightning,which I also like,but not as much as MoP.This afternoon I have just tracked down and ordered Kill em All,used but VGC.

Try to get the single for One and skip “and justice for all” album if you’re trying to load up on their good stuff from the 80s. @pedrohedgerow

@pedrohedgerow i wouldn't skip it, but it's definitely the least of the first 5

I love Metallica but frankly, they haven’t put out anything worth listening to since the black album.

@Allthingscurious so no Load/Reload love?
Allthingscurious · 41-45, M
Nope. Just didn’t do it for me. I think they should’ve called it quits after the black album. @silkandlace

@Allthingscurious fair enough!!

Load was a decent album taken alone, but they should have called it a career after that.

@SW-User i can handle that answer; I've read all the material for both records was basically written at the same time, BASICALLY; I would tend to add to your comment that perhaps a better selection of that material for just one record, i have tracks i really like from Re

@silkandlace Everything from Kill em All to the Black Album is just so epic it makes the newer stuff sound even worse

@SW-User Absolutely!!
