But it's beautiful, beautiful space.

It is and I still have my CD stacked in a nice tower holder, but it has not been added to or modified in many years while my music library has still grown.

Wow, its been a really long time since I've posted here..

I've been listening a lot to Load and ReLoad recently. I never really cared for these albums. I guess it's because I was in my real big Metallica fase about fifteen years ago, when I was a pure metalhead.
I love these two albums now. The production is really good, the melodies are good, the bass is crisp, the guitars are FAT, and I like the way Lars actually utilizes the drums. When have you ever heard Lars actually use a ride-cymbal properly, beside these two albums?

There is defenitely som filler on these albums, but the albums are still really underappreciated IMO.

Anyone see or read this?

https://consequenceofsound.net/2015/03/you-can-blame-lars-ulrich-for-lack-of-bass-on-metallicas-and-justice-for-all/

I've always disliked Lars and I can just add this to my reasons why, although I know he is not the only musician to do something like this.

Listening to And Justice for Jason now.  This album would be so much better if it had some bass in it - his parts are cool and his tone is gnarly af.

Was it the one with the random fan who just recorded his own bass lines over it or the 4 or 5 guitar hero fan edit tracks?

The production is excellent on them, though I have not heard ReLoad in years. I wouldn't say the albums are underappreciated at all. You can find tons of people that like them. And maybe by another band, they're not bad albums. They are just bad Metallica albums. There are some decent tunes on Load to be sure, but that is not the Metallica that I fell in love with.
would have thought the same thing but seeing the OP was TAC i immediately thought Maiden or DT related

They're not "bad". They just aren't what you were looking for from that band. Those are two different things. You're absolutely allowed to not like them, but it's a bit silly to label them as bad just because they're not like their earlier material.
Honestly, if Metallica had kept releasing albums in the  style of their first four, people would complain that they'd gotten stale and were repeating themselves.

TL, I agree kind of. But they are bad Metallica albums, at least in terms of what Metallica was at the time. When they came out, I can't think of one Metallica fan that would not have them at the bottom.
That said, anyone that wasn't around at the time has the luxury of ignorance of what Metallica spent years of building. I can definitely see how someone younger can look at Load and compare it to Master, and decide that Master just isn't their cup of tea, but Load is.
But Metallica really left their core support behind and God love them, they hit it huge, which I guess was the point. They certainly reached the masses.
Heck, even TBA was a huge shift in style.
No I can get though about half of Load, but to me, Metallica is a band that fell off the face of the earth in 1992.

That's fair.
For reference, I didn't listen to Metallica in a significant way until the early 2000s, so I wasn't along for the initial ride.
I wouldn't necessarily cite Load and Reload as better than the classic era; more that they're two very different things, and coming in late, I can appreciate each style for what they are.

their core support already was the mainstream, exactly because of the black album style shift you mentioned right after.  :rollin

i don't like Load and Re-Load much either, but they didn't do that because they wanted more success. if that was what they wanted, there would be TBA again and again every couple of years, S&M and St. Anger would never have happened, etc.

I just don't understand what they were trying to achieve with any part of the song, either individually or as a whole. You know what? It's the Platypus of Dream Theater songs. That bill doesn't go with that tail, or that strange little furry body, or those webbed feet, and oh god why does it have venomous spurs!? And then you find out it lays eggs too. The difference is that the Platypus is somehow functional despite being a crazy mishmash or leftover animal pieces

Yeah, I don't disagree. TBA was a huge shift, but for me, as much as I had trouble with it, I could still live with it.Load was another shift in the wrong (for me) direction, and I just couldn't follow them seriously after that.

That's fair.
For reference, I didn't listen to Metallica in a significant way until the early 2000s, so I wasn't along for the initial ride.

Hey I didn't mean to go all Fogey on you. :lol
I envy you because you can look at Load and Reload objectively, whereas I cannot.

Re-Load was actually the album that got me into Metallica.  It was those hits on the radio that introduced me, but it wasn't long before I realized the older material was where the goods were.  It left Reload and Load to still be solid albums at the time for me, but as I grew older I stopped liking those albums as much.  Still good stuff there, but not overall great albums like the previous.  And TBA is still a really good album IMO.  Just my view based on when I became a fan.

I felt the tracks were from GH or RB-Metallica. I do not think I will ever buy the idea that GH and RB were the master tracks. I do remember reading that the greatest hits GH had original masters. And an article had talked about the guy that before the GH-GH package was the guitarist who re-recorded tracks of everything. GH or RB-Metallica was after that chronologically, so maybe it was the masters.
 
Any who, I actually have AJFJ instead of AJFA on my phone. Real bass tracks or not, AJFA is inaudible, so to me there never were any bass tracks. So having them, real or made up/covers to me is cool and adds to it! The very rare times I was able to hear bass on AJFA via headphones, it did feel Jason was following the guitars 100%; which is what AJFJ does.

I'm used to AJFA without bass. It is how it is. It somehow sounds very strange to my ears with the added bass.

It actually sounds way better with bass.  It ties everything together, it makes the mid-scooped guitars sound way better, and the drums sound fatter.

I really haven't taken any notice since Load...........so take out the others and I basically agree.   And it's MoP by the length of the straight for me and then another big gap down after Ride The Lightning.
