Metallica fans were butthurt about these albums back in the 90s and 2000s but I think people are more apprecviative of them now.
On these specific albums my favorites are Until It Sleeps, Unforgiven II, and The Memory Remains.

Metallica fans are still butthurt about those albums. Load is great, ReLoad less so.

They are the albums that got me interested in Metallica, but compared to their other albums they are rather boring. I still contend that St Anger is better than both of them, but not by much.

It doesn't sound like they recorded it in a coffee shop. It sounds like they recorded it in a trash can, on a construction site, adjacent to a line of porta-johns, next to a Mongolian bbq, that serves rotten meat, across the street from a coffee shop.

But yes.

Considering they are one of the most popular mainstream metal bands ever I'm not even sure what that's supposed to mean. I've always considered them to be perfectly vanilla in every way.

Actually that would be anything after the black album because the black album is certainly not pop by any means.

I love Lord Jesus, Family Matters (for Steve & Laura which I typed up a beautiful alt from Just One Date episode) and FFIX (for Zidane & Garnet).

I always used to hear this back in the day, but replace Ride the Lightning with the album right after, Master of Puppets.
Then everyone shits on Black Album and above. Maybe some love for it but then Load and Reload were universally panned by the fans.

Reload was my first intro to the band lol

I still have nostalgia for it and I'd definitely put it above St. Anger

Everything after ajfa is pretty much trash imo. Also, lars and kirk have always sucked. Lars needed studio trickery to sound passable. His performances live are a joke

Yeah; I like them a lot. Their 90s stuff in general has so far been my favorite.

Metallica fans over the age of 35 really think Load and Reload are bad albums while Kill Em All is the undisputed best

Lol, lmao.

Kill 'Em All was kinda rough IMO. The weakest of their classic albums.

Ride the lightning and MoP are the clear best. KeA and AJFA are pretty solid too. Everything else I could live without

They aren't as bad as St. Anger but their 80s stuff shits all over everything else they have released since. I think the reason they get so much hate is because of that, if they started with Black Album/Load/ReLoad then went into the 80s albums they would probably be looked at in a fonder light but there's no excuse to go from the peak they had to generic radio butt rock so quickly

So the reason St. Anger was bad was because the band hated each other at the time recording it. Makes sense
