'Reload' Album Review (Compilation) The continuing cavalcade of clips continues! No intro or closing questions, just the guts of the episode with me and the guest dissecting the song. Free metallica reload album download. Metallica will be forever hailed for the dark and sophisticated vision of thrash metal they brought to the masses in the eighties. The band never stopped making music afterwards, but their legacy became. uh, complicated? Their album Load was an aggressive rebranding and an uninspired foray into muscular alternative rock, save for three or four great songs. Well, the following year, Metallica released Reload . which is more of the same. It's like they had six or seven good songs top and improvised two hours of crap filler to make sure they could market two albums out of whatever this was supposed to be. Reload , like its predecessor, starts rather strong with the catchy and mindless Fuel . It was a little disheartening back then to hear Metallica sing about cars like a bunch of douchebags, but Fuel is musically well put together. There's a strong, recognizable riff, a catchy chorus an there's thing clever man/machine allegory going on. It's the bare bones of a successful Metallica song. Their once profound and empowering lyrics were pretty much a thing of the past by the Reload era, but their songwriting expertise was never to be questioned when they were inspired and they. kind of were, on Fuel . It's just not the powerful experience it once was. The follow-up song The Memory Remains is, perhaps my second favorite song of the whole Load / Reload era, after King Nothing . Once again, the lyrics are simplistic, but the powerful melody, the memorable chord progression and the haunting use of Marianne Faithful got the point across better than its lyrics ever could. I don't hate The Unforgiven II either, which has the deepest, most intricate lyrics of the Load / Reload era. It's not the most original song idea, sure. But it comes from a genuine place and. and. I liked it better than the first? I believe the first Unforgiven is pretty overrated, like most power ballads Metallica 's ever written. James looks so fucking douchy in that video, with his silk shirt and his soul patch. Seriously, what the fuck? It’s hard to believe he’s the guy who wrote Master of Puppets when you watch this. So, what exactly did I dislike about Reload , then? Everything else. I don't like to use the phrase "turned on their fans", but it's hard to imagine they wrote songs like Better Than You or Attitude as anything else than elaborate fuck yous to their critics. And their critics were mostly, you know, people who loved the shit out of their earlier work. The rest is just so uninspired and generic. They all start with a spin off the same bullshit sludgy, mid-tempo alternative rock riff, deliver lyrics about snakes (there's two snakes allegories on the record) or how fucking badass and driven they are, and they last forever. Seriously, the last three songs are seven, five and fucking eight minutes long. Few people know how fucking boring and terrible the non-singles from Reload are, because it was release in the dying days of the CD era and people bought albums only to listen to the singles back then, self-included. When you spent 20 bucks on getting a record, you didn't want to deal with any of the bullshit on it, even if it made for most of its running time. If this Load / Reload retrospective made me understand anything, it's that Metallica 's fans turned on them not necessarily because they changed their sound, but because they stopped making music with passion. And people who love you will always be the first to call you out when you start bullshitting them. ReLoad (album) ReLoad was released on November 18, 1997 through Elektra Records. It is a sequel or counterpart to the band's previous album, Load , and also the final Metallica album of the 20th century. ReLoad debuted #1 on the Billboard 200, selling 417,000 copies in its first week. Only six of the thirteen songs have ever been played live. They include "Fuel", "The Memory Remains", "Devil's Dance", "The Unforgiven II", "Low Man's Lyric", and "Carpe Diem Baby". There are also occasional jam sessions of songs including "Bad Seed", "Better Than You" and "Fixxxer". ReLoad is currently certified triple platinum by the RIAA. It was the final Metallica studio album to feature bassist Jason Newsted, though it was not his last release with the band. ReLoad also marked the second and the last appearance of a new Metallica logo on an album, until the release of Garage, Inc. The original idea was to make Metallica's sixth album a double album. However, with problems recording so many songs at one time, the band decided that half of the songs were to be released and the band would continue to work on the remaining songs and release them the following year. Drummer Lars Ulrich stated that: " It's the second half of Load . It's just coming out a year and a half later. " This was the second album to feature most, if not all, songs in E♭ tuning, with "Bad Seed" being played in D♭ tuning and "Devil's Dance" in D tuning. D tuning was earlier used for "Sad But True" on Metallica and later used for "Whiskey in the Jar" from Garage Inc . Recently the song "Carpe Diem Baby" premiered at the "Metallica's 30th Anniversary Party" in 2011. The songs that have never been played are "Better than You", "Slither", "Bad Seed", "Where the Wild Things Are", "Prince Charming", "Attitude", and "Fixxxer". RELOAD. I even would want to go that far to state that I'm not bored for one second when I listen to the entire 76 minutes this release counts. All songs are at least good, some even very good (like the great closer Fixxxer). And then I'm not even a true fan let alone fanboy who wants to hear nothing bad about the band. I'm just judging what I hear and can come to only one conclusion: this is a good album. Ok, maybe not essential, but good; nothing less ! So three stars it is. Metallica Reload's, but comes up empty yet again. It is pretty much just a left-over from the equally terrible 'Load' album. The worst part about this album is it nearly runs for the entire 80 minutes! To add to that liability, only two songs were even worthy of being somewhat remembered. This sound of Metallica was just one of the worst things that can happen to a successful band. Unfortunately, things indeed got a little worse down this terrible change in career path. Only recommended to Metallica die-hards and anyone willing to waste a few bucks. As expected the music style on "Reload" is very similar to the style of music on "Load" . Heavy metal with bluesy hard rock/ heavy rock elements. You�ll often hear the statement that the tracks on "Reload" are leftover tracks from "Load" but I think the quality is just as high (or low) as on "Load" . The album seriously lacks highlights though and while the tracks are mostly of an acceptable quality they are rather mediocre and unremarkable compared to the material on earlier releases. The sound production is similar to the one on "Load" . Professional but not up to par with the sound on "Metallica (1991)" . I don�t consider "Reload" a bad album or a failure in any way, but it�s overall an unremarkable and mediocre release. Especially considering the high quality of the band�s first 5 albums. Metallica simply sound uninspired. It�s like the hunger isn�t there. I�d say somewhere between a 2.5 - 3 star rating is warranted. Reload continues the style of its predecessor - Load, but this time even worse than the first. Most of the songs are absolute irritating and illogical. They are much worse than a mainstreem radio songs. The Memory Remains, The Unforgiven II and Low Man's Lyric are exception. All of them are memorable and contain melody in contrast with the others. On Reload rules again blues, country and alternative music combined in inappropriate and unbalanced style. Because of the presence of less good songs than on Load and because of the presence of less good themes in the poor songs, Reload should be ranked lower than Load. The other reason for than wil be the less number of fresh and innovative ideas here. It could be considered as a lazy and boring release with using of universal chords that can be heard in 50% of radio rock songs. That's why they are lazy and boring: made without a will. 1,5 stars. Well, this is a back to back album called in a very original way ReLoad. The same thing, lame composition, just straight metal with short songs and some kind of aggressive sound, but that sounds like a joke if you make a comparison with their old material.
