Ok, it's been 4 years since I
was hit unexpectedly (like a brick) with this album, and so reviewing
it now I figure will sound much different than when I originally first
heard it (what the fuck!!!??!!! is this a JOKE!!!!???). Therefore, I
figured it would be interesting to go back and review this album. Being
a diehard 'Tallica fan it'll be hard to be unbiased and critical,
(with this album it may not be THAT hard..) but
I'll do my best...
This album is noticeably not as heavy as their previous releases
(*sob*) and the songs are simple in arrangement (for the most part),
the style tends to go back to a more blues/rock sound. Here's a song
by song rundown...
"2x4" is alright, nice groove...but one wonders what possesed Het to
write a song about whooping ass with a piece of wood
"The House That Jack Built" a cool tune, different from other 'Tallica
songs in overall sound and arrangement..why the hell don't they play
it live?
"Until It Sleeps" eh...it's ok
"King Nothing" *coENTERSANDMANugh* but fun to play on guitar..
"Hero Of The Day" much better live than on here...video still scares
me
"Bleeding Me" fucking killer song, can't say anything bad here..an
instant Metalli-classic, truely awesome
"Cure" ehh...
"Poor Twisted Me" hummf...
"Wasting My Hate" Hey! it's fast! and fun to play..but somewhat
obnoxious
"Mama Said" pretty cool, but you've kinda gotta forget it's a
Metallica song
"Thorn Within" yaaaaawn...
"Ronnie" same with "Mama Said"
"The Outlaw Torn" another amazing, killer, truely jizzworthy slab of
'Tallica...epic, great lyrics...unf
These are my observations, if you can get past the inner sleeve artwork
and pictures, which still scare the shit out of me to this day...
what the fuck were they thinking???!!!

Ah, Reload the rest of the
songs from the "Load" sessions...
"The Memory Remains" good song, kinda plain but has a sweet melody,
guest vocals sound strange and errie
"Devil's Dance" was awesome at Donington '95...what happened? better
live and with original guitar arrangements
"The Unforgiven II" liked the first one better..cool video though
"Better Than You" ...yaaawn...
"Slither" strange song...kinda like it..
"Carpe Diem Baby" another weird one...not bad..
"Bad Seed" ehh, it's ok
"Where The Wild Things Are" Definately cool, one of the most
expiremental 'Tallica songs done, very different...
"Prince Charming" ..yaaawn
"Low Man's Lyric" very different that's fer sure..
"Attitude" has promise of being heavy...cool chorus riff
"Fixxxer" killer, another classic 'Tallica epic
