Album notes
Metallica: James Hetfield (vocals, guitar); Kirk Hammett (guitar); Jason Newsted (bass); Lars Ulrich (drums).
Producers: Bob Rock, James Hetfield, Lars Ulrich.
Recorded at The Plant Studios, Sausalito, California between May 1995 and February 1996.
The kings of speed metal have never been keen on being labeled, and LOAD, which follows up the 1991 mega-hit METALLICA, is a surprising pastiche of sonic fury. Metallica still rocks hard. James Hetfield's lyrics are still full of venom and anger, and the music still could scare small children. But the band is ready to show off other sides of its craft. "Hero Of The Day" sounds like an R.E.M. song, albeit a heavy one, with its tender beginning and ending confluence of harmonized vocals and catchy guitar riffs. A dose of the blues can be heard in the slow-burning "Bleeding Me," and a downright country twang pervades "Mama Said."
Still, this is a metal album, and there are headbanging riffs o'plenty. LOAD may seem like a departure from the Metallica "norm," but it's actually what the band has been doing all along: writing well-crafted songs without a regard for what others think. The only difference is that the one-time denizens of the underground now have the world's rapt attention.Vollständige Rezension lesen...

Metallica Load is Great

I own several Metallica CDs, "Ride the Lightning" has been my favorite, but "Load" is right up there. After reading some reviews on Load, many Metallica fans did not like it because with this release Metallica changed up their sound to a more Rock style and not the Metal sound they are famous for. I listen to both Rock and Metal, so thus cross over is really good. I would recommend it to all Led Zepplin / R&R fans. If you're a Metal Head, give it a chance, it still has that Metallica basic sound. Vollständige Rezension lesen...

Metallic load

Delivered five years after "black" album in 1991, Load captures Metallica settling into an uneasy period of maturation. Under the guidance of producer Bob Rock, Metallica have streamlined their sound, cutting away most of the twisting, unpredictable time signatures and the mind-numbingly fast riffs. They add in Southern boogie rock, country-rock, and power ballads to their bag of tricks, which make them sound like '70s arena rock holdovers. Metallica's idea of opening up their sound is to concentrate on relentless mid-tempo boogie -- over half the album is dedicated to songs that are meant to groove, but they simply don't swing. I like music of Metallica, so I decided to buy Load on eBay.Vollständige Rezension lesen...

Not as good as the "Black" album.............

but that would have been difficult to top anyways. Still recorded/mixed/mastered better than the albums before the "Black" album (is Lars tone deaf?) as they were poorly mixed/mastered (all mids, no bass and harsh highs).Vollständige Rezension lesen...

Well I bought this on tape, yes I said tape. I listen to the first side over and over but had to skip #6 and #7. Than I would flip it over and listen to #8, #9 and #10, than fast forward so I could listen to the other side again.

I was expecting a lot out of this CD after following the Black Album, but it never happened. Seemed they got softer on some and lost their train of thought on others.Vollständige Rezension lesen...

Load-Metallica

Not their best album. However, you can't go wrong with it. The band continues to move away from the thrash of old and into bluesy, groovy tracks. Check it out.

Metallica: Load

The only music I've heard of Metallica before this one was the Black Album. I liked it because of the hair-raising guitar solos and the acute sound of classic hard rock. Searching for any other Metallica CD's, I decided on Load.

This CD was, although quite different than the first, a great success for rock fans. There were not nearly as many wild solos, but the group did a marvelous job with newer and more modern guitar sounds, and the vocals were great too.Vollständige Rezension lesen...

Best album and the best memories of Metallica

Perfectly in my zone in terms between Heavy and Light metal. The Metallica from the mid early 80's was a bit heavier to me. I remember I was in South Philadelphia in the mid 1990's at a parking lot and saw them in concert. If I remember the band was promoting the Load album.

"Load" - Metallica

I have always thought this album was one of the band's finest. Metallica has always proven to be one of heavy metal's greatest bands. I had this album many years ago but I lost it when I moved to my new house. It seems I found it again on Ebay!!! METALLICA ROCKS!!!!!!!!!Vollständige Rezension lesen...
