Pretty much. Switch the top two and you've got yourself a deal.

Yea, most of the people who liked Load and Reload were in middle school/ junior high (myself included).

Like Jeff said, Load would be damn good if a few songs got trimmed. Haven't listened to the whole album in years, though.

Not bad. I could make a better argument for Kill Em' All at 1-2 than 4th though. Especially if you count the most common cd version with Am I Evil & Blitzkrieg.

When Cliff played those Kill Em' All songs live they were tenacity personified and worlds better than on the cd. Personally I'd rather hear Metal Militia, Jump in the Fire, No Remorse, Phantom Lord, Whiplash and maybe even Four Horsemen than just about anything else they play. When was the last time they played Metal Militia? It's time they bring back "METAL UP YOUR ASS!" and lose the 10 minute Seek & Destroy singfest. If they said the were playing Kill Em' All this tour I'm be the 1st in line. hahaha

Really? I find the older the song, the worse James' voice sounds these days. On that note, usually the faster the song, the worse Lars plays!

8. Death Magnetic

If I'm honest, on a good day, Load would probably get more listens than Black, based purely on the fact that those songs are actually good/great songs, they're just not Metallica songs. If they were done by any other band, I reckon they would be regarded much higher.

Death Magnetic is just meh, it really is so very, very bland. Unless something remarkable happens, they are gonna keep churning out unimaginative, half-baked thrash/heavy metal albums, because they know full well they don't need to work to keep their fans. Reload is essentially very boring, if Load and it were people, they would essentially be Drake and Josh. Load is Drake, filled with charm, and much easier to listen to and be around, Reload is Josh, it tries to be Load, and even though it has its own charm, the conversation just doesn't last and you find yourself drifting back over to Josh. That being said, in small doses, like if something off it comes on when you have your iPod on shuffle, Reload really endears you to its cause.
