I actually had a nice listen to Load last week. It's been awhile since I played the thing from front to back. It's really not a bad album in and of itself. But I came up with Metallica, and to think that Dyer's Eve and Hero Of The Day are just two albums apart doesn't make much sense. Anyway, I find some If they took off Poor Twisted Me, Mama Said, and Ronnie, it would jack the overall rating much higher.
Ronnie is interesting, but it's a B side at best and does not deserve a spot on a proper Metallica album. Same with Mama Said.
One song that I have enjoyed listening to this time around is Thorn Inside. Love the rhythm guitars on that.
Anyway, my listings:
1. Kill 'Em All
2. And Justice For All
3. Master Of Puppets
4. Ride The Lightning
5. Death Magnetic
6. Load
7/8. Reload/St. Anger
Songs:
1. Master Of Puppets
2. Blackened
3. One
4. Dyer's Eve
5. Whiplash
6. Hit The Lights
7. Fade To Black
8. The Four Horsemen
9. Damage Inc.
10. Fade To Black
