Load & Reload, 1996-1997

I am talking about them together because they were intended to be a double album, but were split into two for sales.

Metallica was continuing to work with producer Bob Rock, and they were pushing themselves more towards mainstream, radio friendly hard rock and heavy metal.

Generally speaking, these are not great. There are a few good tracks, but I wouldn’t buy these records.

Not really much to say beyond that. Most of Load is better than most of Reload.

The singles are all pretty good and I remember them being in heavy rotation on the radio.

I’ll pick two from each record. From Load:

“Until it Sleeps” was apparently not fun to record, with a lot of studio mixing and post production effects. They recently started playing it again live. Makes me feel like I’m in 7th-8th grade again. Good track.

But the best track of both records is “Outlaw Torn”, the last one Load.

From Reload:

I’ll go with “Unforgiven II” and “Fuel”. I kinda feel the same way about them as I do “Enter Sandman”, but Enter Sandman is better, lol.

James Hetfield's voice when he sings "black heart scarring darker still" 🖤🖤🖤

The residents weren't evil. Umbrella shut down soon enough after they first met, and they lived happily ever after, listening to Metallica and travelling around the world on vacation. Save me old men yaoi, save me

Again The Unforgiven II.

Ughhhh that part towards the end of the unforgiven II where James is singing the chorus but lightly in the back you can hear him sing “so I dub thy unforgiven” 😩 it’s so good

When Dave said "I promise. I promise..." we all remember this

YES OMG

you know what, I can totally picture heartbreaker!dave writing this one about nore, not just in the romantic sense, but really about who she is as a person and how he has such an intense connection with her

like, the lines "And when we walk down the street / The wind sings our names in rebel songs / The sounds of the night should make us anxious / But it's much too late when the fear is gone" totally being about how he loved her pretty much from the start and how freeing it feels to surrender to her love

and also the part of "I will meet you in the Next Life, I promise you" and "I will wait till then in Heaven, I promise you" being so clearly inspired by Cliff's constant presence in her life and how close they were

he would write this not only as a gift but as a tribute to everything she is to him, and also as an apology for all the times he wrote bitter words about her in his songs, and she would love him so much for it

[daddy-ul]

At least we can agree on this.

[willka-hughes]

'Cause I'm the one who waits for you. Or are you unforgiven too?
