Where Did Metallica End, For You?

Load/ReLoad, they Always get dumped on, but that's really where it ended, for me; I've narrowed it down to James' voice somehow changing, nothing since these two maligned records has been even close; don't get me wrong, they are NOWHERE near the brilliance of the first three, or five, which makes me also assign it to Jason's departure, which i TRULY believe......

The black album was pretty bad, and honestly I never kept up with their work after that.
I mean the song "wherever I may roam" sounds like metal disco you would hear at a gay club. At THAT moment, I knew something was terribly wrong.

I remember when Load came out, one of my friends said not to waste my money. He said he had bought a copy, didn't like it, and could not even give it away so he threw it in the trash.

@CestManan agreed!! believe it or not,, I've actually come across people that think the Black album was their first record🤯

@SilkandLace2 Maybe cause it was a self-title. It's unofficial name is "black" but officially, self-title, if I am not mistaken.

Funny how people think. Remember when Wayne's world came out and some people thought Bohemian Rhapsody was a brand new song?

@CestManan that's true

The last five years have been rough. Still a great band, but they are a shadow of their former selves.

SilkandLace2 · 46-50, M

@Cdmnlvr I'm of the opinion that they have been for at least 15 years

@SilkandLace2 I can see why you feel that way. Having been a huge fan I noticed the drop-off in the quality of the made music a while back, but the last few years the passion is gone. Just seems like a cash grab nowadays.

@Cdmnlvr I'm not even sure I'd say that; i just thing they really believe the material is good; people shit on Load and Re, but I just hear it as "it" was still there, just different than the first 5, Death Magnetic and Hardwired "to Stupid", gosh how terrible,, or maybe in missing something?!

@CestManan well, I think he has been for quite some time now;

CestManan · 46-50, F

@SilkandLace2 He is an awesome musician but otherwise he is a train wreck.

At least his band stayed mostly true to their sound, unlike Metallica whom became a metal band for soccer moms and dads.

@CestManan well, if what has been put out there is true,, sober, yes, the burp with Dave Jr, UGH!! I liked the trilogy immensely, i liked Super Collider, Dystopia was the best album that year, overall Megadeth wins the last even 5 years
