ALBUMMER! 58: Metallica's Load

Today on Albummer! we're talking about Metallica's first post black album release and arguably the beginning of their decent into madness. This is our first episode of Monthtallica and we're joined by comedian and human inkblot Shayne Smith!

The crew behind Two Minutes to Late Night are here to re-review some of the most critically reviled albums out there!

The band that all the Creed members formed without Scott Stapp is called Alter Bridge and they fucking shred!

I do like parts of Load but you are right that everything Metallica post Black Album is a downward spiral. Also yes, ReLoad > Load.

New segments to consider: the Jeremy's Hasidic boss minute & hey, what neat thing do you have immediately offscreen

Before watching:
I always had a soft spot for Load/ReLoad. Of course they are no Ride The Lightning or Master Of Puppets, but there are a lot of good songs on it. The only critique i if have is, that they stretched this over 2 albums. They could have easily made 1 great album out of all the Load/ReLoad material.

2x4 = the Shania Twain “Feel like a Woman” riff ended me.

I'm glad to hear another pitbull owner say "one many walks" and that it's not just my boy dragging me out of the house like 5 times a day.

I guess I had never really questioned what the album art actually was before. This podcast has changed me.
