Towelie Posted August 30, 2021 Share Posted August 30, 2021 Thoughts? As much as I like them as is, neither one album holds against the Metallica albums that came before. If you had to do a one Load album of the best tracks, what would you choose? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ixtlan Posted August 31, 2021 Share Posted August 31, 2021 Take Fuel, Memory Remains, Unforgiven 2, from reload and replace Ronnie, Thorn within, and Cure from load and you have one of the best Metallica albums period. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Almost impossible to follow what had gone before in fairness. I didn’t realize it was 5 & 6 years after The Black album they came out. I remembered a shorter span in my head... the wait for st anger was a lonnng wait also. I also got weirded out realizing its 15 years since I’ve seen Metallica live. Yknow when you see a band a few times you think it’s been 5-6 years since you saw them. 15 years is a long time! I saw them 6 times between 92-06. Skipped the last few tours (15 years worth it appears!) I’ll go next time they roll around. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have we done this for the ultimate UYI if there was only 1 album. Regardless of time frames, picking only 12 songs, what would be the ultimate UYI album? Mine would be: RNDTH NR Bad Apples YCBM Locomotive Estranged Breakdown Don't Cry(org) GITR PTU Perfect Crime Coma Edited September 2, 2021 by jimisbatman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
metallex78 Posted September 3, 2021 Share Posted September 3, 2021 This topic seems as pointless as combining UYI into one album. I’m of the mind that I’m glad we got two full albums of songs, even if some aren’t as good as others, rather than one album of the two. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

James Bond Posted September 22, 2021 Share Posted September 22, 2021 The Memory Remains seems to be a real fan favourite and has a continued popularity on rock radio, but am I the only person that has never been able to get past Faithfull's vocals? I can't do it. I can't even appreciate it in all its oddity. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was always put off by that on the studio version, but the S&M version with the crowd singing it is what made that song for me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cosmo Posted October 7, 2021 Share Posted October 7, 2021 I'm one for 99% of double albums or albums with more than 45 minutes be slimmed/cut down. It's usually for the best. Just trim out the flab. Load/ReLoad, UYI, Stadium Arcadium, The White Album, Physical Graffiti, Hardwired...To Self Destruct, Senjutsu... they'd all benefit from this. In the case of Load/ReLoad: Fuel Until It Sleeps Bleeding Me The Unforgiven II Memory Remains Hero Of the Day Wasting My Hate Mama Said The Outlaw Torn Low Man's Lyric Too many ballads, I know... not my fault the more high-energy songs from those albums suck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
