What Been Could Have Right

How Metallica could have saved Load and ReLoad

---

... In our hypothetical alternative reality, “Load” and “Reload” was only “Load,” and “Load” was a single disc offering, showcasing only the cream of the crop from the album sessions. The tracklisting looked something like this:



1. Fuel
2. The Memory Remains
3. Devil’s Dance
4. Until It Sleeps
5. Bleeding Me
6. Ain’t My Bitch
7. 2x4
8. Hero of the Day
9. King Nothing
10. The Outlaw Torn

---

That's a fairly good lineup of tunes. Personally, I like "Bleeding Me" and "The Outlaw Torn" so I'm glad to see them. I *almost* like "Ain't My Bitch" as an opening track over "Fuel" but I get why "Fuel" is a good choice for the opener. It's interesting. If "Load" only had the above 10 songs, would there have been as much of a fan backlash?

Defending the Load

It's cliche to hate Metallica's Load & ReLoad albums. One comment about those two albums is that if you combined the two, you would have a single really good "rock" album. Trivium's Matt Heafy would disagree. Per Loudwire.com:

---

Heafy was born in 1986, meaning he got into Metallica when they were releasing albums like Load and Reload, working his way through their back catalog afterwards.

---

which is followed by a pseudo-apology for Heafy's opinion

---

As any music fan knows, the first album or two you hear from a band tends to resonate deeply regardless of the general fan and critic perception of the record(s).
