Product Description
Amazon.co.uk Review
For many heavy metal fans, Metallica epitomizes the genre, especially for those listeners who remember the band's fast-and-furious 1983 debut, Kill 'Em All. As a result, their continued foray into a more stripped-down, laid-back sound with this album has met a mixed response. However, there's enough innovation and just plain strange stuff on this album to make it worth a listen. The creepy "The Memory Remains" is perfectly accentuated by Marianne Faithfull's backing vocals, and "Where the Wild Things Are" features the multi-layered vocals and guitars that Metallica is famous for, albeit at about half their usual speed. The opening ("Fuel") and closing ("Fixxxer") tracks are especially strong, and intermixed with some slower, country-inflected tunes are the obnoxious rockers that made Metallica the long-running success they are. --Genevieve Williams

I've been a Metallica fan for over 4 years, and I think Re-Load, along with Master of Puppets is the best Metallica album released. I think you find the only Metallica 'fans' who don't appreciate it are the 80's-only fans.
I say don't mock it until you try it!!!!!
Best track by far has to be Fuel then folowed by Bad Seed which is easily one of the best Riffs Metallica have produced in recent years....just a shame about some of the lyrics!!

To start with i didn't really like all of this album and i gave it 4 stars cause i felt some of the songs were a bit dull but now that i have listened to it more i have realised how good it is. There are no real bad songs on this album and if you are looking for something different then this could be for you. I still prefer the older stuff but this is really good too. Might take a while to get into.

Give me that which I desire!
Ever since 1988 I have been a Metallica nut and this is an album which, although not anything like Ride or Puppets, is another brilliant offering in it's own right. Read more

A grower....
I think Metallica made a good decision by experimenting on the "load albums", but they could of been a little bit more careful and self aware when they decided to do this. Read more

Great Hard Rock!
THIS IS NOT THRASH METAL - perhaps it should carry a Parental Advisory sticker: Mosher Advisory, this album does not contain any thrash metal! Read more
