- Metallica's 6th studio album, Load, is a far cry from what they've done previously. Was it good? Was it bad? I don't know. All I know is that someone is going to be mad at me no matter what I say
Part 1: • Kill 'Em All - A Metal...
Part 2: • Ride the Lightning - A...
Part 3: • Master of Puppets - A ...
Part 4: • ...And Justice for All...

this album is a load of barnacle
It ain't my bitchah! I've listened to the whole album and it's definitely more listenable the older I get
Compared to St. Anger it should have won a Grammy
@@FortessofShred I think they both did😳
The album is great.
I like the album, hero of the day is a highlight for me, but it might just be me. so it's a good review...., just different from my opinion, which is good I guess.
Bleeding Me and The Outlaw Torn are underrated masterpieces and definitely deserve a place in the Top 50 Metallica songs.
I've seen many youtube comments and likes in other videos that share the same sentiment.
That is the literal definition opposite of the word underrated, buddy.
@@WoockerSocket2 NICE TO SEE YOU HERE
What’s it say?
SEE YOU NEXT WEDNESDAY....
top 30 for sure
So I totally disagree with almost everything you said about this album, I totally respect your views and it's fun to hear other people's opinion. In my defense, Load came out when I was 14. I actually truly love Load and Reload. I do hate the covers though.
Same. I was 12 and this was the first cd I bought. I wore out both of those albums. It was a great time to be a Metallica fan, because they we’re putting out so much music at that time. Load in 96, Reload in 97, Garage Inc in 98, and S&M in 99.
Agreed. I was disagreeing with everything, but people are welcome to their own opinions, regardless of how wrong they are.
Once he got to Bleeding Me though, that's when I realized that he's just stupid.
He’s not stupid: he’s American
Wait…
I probably just have a sick sense of humor, but I love the album covers. I even have posters of them on the my walls of my bedroom.
I could not agree more. Load and Reload are skid marks on the underpants of this once great band.
78:59 is the limit of what would fit on a CD, the most popular format of the time. They edited The Outlaw Torn when they should instead have cut several songs entirely
Just take off The House Jack Built and you at least have a better album
@Fidget1764FreoFanman nah dude I think Wasting My Hate, Ronnie, 2x4, and Ain't My Bitch are all totally throw away songs
Didnt care for this album much when it came out but as ive gotten older i actually like it.
maybe the same will happen with me if i listen again in 10 years
Load really stood the test of time in my opinion. Yeah it's not thrash so that's what people complain about. But there's definitely nothing wrong with a band trying new things. 😎 🎸
I struggled harder to get through your review of this album than you did making this video about it.
When I got older, I realized Load was a fantastic album. So many songs like hero mama said bleeding and outlaw are beautiful
These 2 albums, are actually really fucking good. It takes time for you to get used to it, but I think these albums really speak for themselves. And I disagree with the “selling out” part. Most of these songs are not the same old Metallica, with a lot of different styles mixed in. I think there are maybe 4 songs total on both albums that are played on the radio. I cant say that’s really selling out. Most of the songs on here are really creative, and I think the style change is cool. Overall I think people blow this album off because of the bs that shouldn’t matter. People love just shitting on these albums, and complain about the dumbest things. For me, this album is something different, but a welcome change. This album deserves more respect. I respect your opinion, but I completely disagree with your assessment.
I can totally see that. This album, and the next, was a total change up for the band. It could've scratched the itch for a bunch of people that were looking for something that sounded like this. This album didn't really do much for me. It's totally fine that we have different opinions, music is completely subjective, which is what makes it great.
@@Ahmedic true. Like I said, I respect your opinion on it, I just disagree with your analysis of the album. Which is completely fine. That is why music is great and I completely respect that
The fact that at the beginning of the video you said "Maybe this album will be good. Sure it won't be another lighting, Master or And Justice" proves the point I made on your Kill 'Em All album.
Kill 'Em All doesn't get the respect it rightfully earned and deserves.
BTW, I like Load/Reload. Always have.
What? Noooo! This album is a masterpiece! Maybe when you hear it for the fist time you find their sound different. Believe me, the more you hear it the more you’ll appreciate it.
Load was my first Metallica album, gifted to me by my older brother in 1996 when I was 11. It was also the first vinyl record I ever bought at 36 y/o. I absolutely love this album, the songwriting is concise but it takes risks and chances well outside of the usual Metallica palette, and it sounds phenomenal overall. It's a terrific Hard Rock album and I don't really know what to say to someone who doesn't think the same, other than eventually you might get it. Load throws everyone off at first.
Loads a fantastic album. Very creative and full of nuance. I feel sorry for anyone who can't enjoy it, their loss.
Same here
We don’t want your pity. It is a shit album. Cannot enjoy shit
Load sucks
Looking back, Load and Re-load are massively underrated albums in my opinion. Bleeding Me and Outlaw Torn are some of the bands best work - absolute epics. Throw in songs like 'Low Man's Lyric' and 'Fixxxer' from Re-load and you have a bunch of hidden gems/deeper cuts. There's a lot of filler on both albums, but the best of both CDs combined into one would have been a killer single album.
Nah 1.5 would be good...there are too many good songs....
Agree... altho I’d probly suggest most from the first album; like 9-10 from Load and 4-5 from Reload.
Do I like this album better than the first five albums? No but I put those first five Metallica albums on a very high pedestal so even though I don’t think it’s as good as the first five, I really do love the Load album.
It’s not the album I put on if I want to listen to metal music, I’ll put on either one of the first five Metallica albums, Pantera , Sepultura, Black Sabbath, Fear Factory , Slayer, etc. but I’ve always been a fan of a lot of different genres and even though it’s not a thrash album, I still think objectively it’s some really good music.
I travel in a work truck all over the country and it’s one of those albums that if I just need to do some mellowing out or some deep thinking I’ll put that album on and I just really enjoy it.
I understand the people that think that the only good music is extreme metal music, whether it’s thrash, death, metal, or whatever , then, yes I understand why they wouldn’t want to listen to this album, but just as someone who appreciates good music, no matter where it comes from I don’t think more than two years have went by since this album came out where I haven’t listen to it all the way through.
And as far as the whole “selling out” thing goes I think people really need to think long and hard about what that phrase means because it really means doing something that you wouldn’t normally do or you don’t really want to do for money or you’re doing it to please everyone else, but you’re not feeling it.
The two highest selling Metallica Records are And Justice For All and The Black Album. If it was just a financial thing they were going after they would have just made an album that was a mix of those two, and if they were making the album that everyone else wanted them to make it sure as hell would not have been what was on the load album. I think some people are just so close minded that if it’s something they don’t like them, there has to be a dark reasoning behind it. It can’t be because that’s just what Metallica felt like doing, it’s because they are not good people and they do things for money. I think anyone over the age of 19 years old thinking like this probably has a lot of other problems in life with how the view the world and it’s probably costing them friendships.
I would never try to argue with anyone about any type of art whether it’s music or television or movies or whatever, it’s all objective, but when you start telling people that the reason they did, this is for selling out purposes, and stated as a fact, that’s when those people just look stupid . If they wanted to sell out and keep everyone happy and do what everyone wanted them to do they would not have made this album. Metallica has more balls than most bands because they’ve never been afraid to just do what the fuck they want to do because they’ve had people crying over them for 30 years.
If I hear an album, I don’t like, I just don’t listen to it. I don’t spend the next 30 years harassing people that like the album and crying about it. But that’s the metal community for you. A bunch of bitches that cry constantly.
He needs to listen to Hooker With a Penis by Tool.
I agree with you 110% they did the opposite of selling out. It's kind of funny people keep grasping at that saying placing that on Metallica when Metallica has always done what they want and didnt care what anyone thought. That's the opposite of selling out.
Bleeding Me is a masterpiece. The album is a 50/50. Give Bleeding Me another few listens. It will be your favorite on this record.
Outlaw Torn was actually originally suppose to b the instrumental of the album.
You hit the nail on the head with your review I've heard Kirk mention the lack of guitar solos on it my friend called this album stone temple Metallica but it took them out the stratosphere and that's a shame
To be honest i don’t know how you can decide to embark on this huge project and criticism for a band that you haven’t even fully listened to. Load is an album that grows on you and taking it for face value and immediately providing a 15 minute critique after one play through just doesn’t jive with me. There are some eh songs but bleeding me and outlaw torn are probably the most creative songs they had ever written to that point and even to this day. More to music than loud and fast.
Imo James is one of the GREATEST lyricist in metal so definitely can't agree on that
It's a great album. Great lyrics and style.
Seems like most people hate this cause it’s metallica doing some different
The hate towards this album is only because of thrash fans and older fans in my opinion, and the album nowadays has a more positive reception.
Yes, you are absolutely alone in comparing the House that Jack built to the sound of TOOL.
It does sound kind of similar. Of course this don't fit in with the whole "tool are geniuses" and "load sucks" generic metal fans "opinions" if you wanna call it that since they all blindly follow each other but I degrees. This opinion don't fit in with that typical outlook so I can see why you disagree.
@@midnight347i think load is good and tool suck so I'm the opposite
7:21-7:23 my favourite song from Load
12:00-12:03 my second favourite song from Load
I knew what your opinion was going to be when you said "they cut their hair..." disagree with everything except for what you said about Until it Sleeps. Because thats one of my favorite songs ever.
As a Metallica fan that tries to have an open mind, this was initally a hard listen as well. I somewhat agree on most takes, except that I really found Hero of the Day being on of my favorites from the album.
While I wouldn't say the band is trying to imitate something they're not, I can definitely see that they are struggling to find their own identity within this new sound. This is actually one of the main reasons I really enjoyed HWTSD and 72 Seasons; especially the latter, since you can clearly see they are comfortable with their sound.
Great video as always! Looking forward to see if you're going to cover their "newer" (almost 20 years old now lol) stuff. I know St. Anger is bound to be a blast, Cheers!
I agree with you man when I first heard load and reload I wasn’t keen at all but I did listen to the whole of those albums just so I could have something to argue for and against what’s on those albums and hero of the day, fuel, the memory remains and king nothing are probably my faveroute stand out tracks hero of the day is my particular faveroute because you can tell the sing is personal to James. All that said i have heard everything post death magnetic and honestly I can say death magnetic is my faveroute modern Metallica album but I respect people who like there more recent stuff
Your voice sounds insanely similar to the Art of Guitar! Great video thanks for the time you put in. I'll occasionally go back to Load to hear Wasting My Hate, Hero of the Day, and Bleeding Me....maybe King Nothing as well....I agree the good songs are hard rock....not metal. The mix is awesome though...the album sounds huge and powerful.
One of their best records ever...this was a real hot take.
The reason the album had to be cut to down to exactly that length was because at the time that was the maximum amount of data that could fit on a cd and play properly.
The “true Metallica fans” who hates this two albums are not true Metallica fans, they are sooo good
Honestly Metallica's 1996 Load was a classic album which debut at #1 on the billboard 200. At the same time even though their music was not metal and thrash anymore all the thrash metal bands felt betrayed because of the direction Metallica was going at the time, but to be honest Metallica did the right thing by going to alternative which worked out for them in the late 90's.
i dont know man, the image change okay, but calling "load" a sell out album, with the ammount of work put into those songs, added instruments you dont ever hear if you dont pay attention... there's no beating Load, its the most creative metallica ever got for me, and i'll die on this hill.
i honestly dont think it was bad at all really enjoy most of the songs on this album!
Love this album!
I’m really enjoying seeing your channel branch out into Music, you should do more videos like this. You should do another metal band, like Megadeth, or slayer, or testament, or accidents.
@Duty and Accountability Media EXACTLY!!
King Nothing kicks so much ass ngl
ABSOLFUKINLUTLY AMAZING ALBUM!!! THE ALBUM HELPED ME THROUGH ROUGH TIMES AT THAT ERA!!! THEY SHOULD DO A LOAD/ RE-LOAD TOUR NEXT!🎼🥁💕🤘🤜🤛🍻🎸💯
Been a Metallica fan since 84' personally I think Load and ReLoad are great albums...just my opinion
Favourite one of their albums. Fight me
Have you checked out/ are you gunna check out Metallica's S&M? Would love to hear if your opinion of some of these songs changes at all after you hear that!
Damn everybody hating on this album just because it’s cool to hate on
Metallica was the first music I started listening to myself, and it has now been my favourite band since 2008. King nothing was one of the first songs by this band I heard, along with For whom the bell tolls, Roam and Seek and destroy. And I immediately loved the band. Even Load, Reload and yes, St. Anger
Actually the album is more accepted and has a more positive reception nowadays.
Idk how you didn’t like Mama Said, Bleeding Me and Hero of the Day
Personal Taste. I dont agree with him either
I got the impression this reviewer was unfamiliar with the subject matter and did not take the time to give it a fair shake. I also mocked this album when it came out in 1996, but that was because I was an immature 15 year old kid who wanted testosterone songs like Fight Fire with Fire. Now as an older man (42yo) I greatly appreciate the songs and especially the lyrics about personal trauma. "This thorn in my side is from the tree I planted. It tears me and I bleed." (Lyrics inspired by a poem of Lord Byron, 1788-1824. Seems to be about an addiction that has gotten out of hand.) To me, Until It Sleeps calls to mind cancer and chemotherapy; "sleep" could refer to either cancer remission or death. In Mama Said, the lyric: "I need your arms to welcome me, but a cold stone is all I see" is one of Hetfield's most vulnerable (penned to his mother who died when Hetfield was only 16). FYI many albums were 78 minutes because that was the max length of an audio CD. Load is cliche blues rock with lyrics that grow in meaningfulness over time as the listener experiences life with all its inevitable heartbreak, death, disappointment, and regret. Cheers and best wishes to you.
You have to approach load as a black sabbath fan and Metallica fan
I didn’t love it the first time I heard it either, 30 years later I’m pretty sure it’s my favourite
The band Metallica is my life forever and ever.😊
Ronnie doesn't get the love it deserve, such a fun song
And as far as the whole financial part of selling out, if they wanted to make an album to make lots of money, those weren’t the albums to do it. I neither one of those albums came close or even half of what the two previous albums did so no I don’t think they did it for money.
one of my favorites. Among my top 5 metallica albums for sure.
I miss this " we do whatever we want" attitude of this era. They became SO much more than just a metal band.
And I have zero ideo how anyone could think that this is selling out. Hell, even the label advised against changing their style that much. As a Grunge fan: there is almost no Grunge on this album.
I'd take literally all of these songs over Kill and Hardwired any time
9,5/10
Load is ok. I like the first half more than the second half.
I remember listening to all Metallica albums in order in one day and it feels like after the black album I was some kind of lab rat. If you haven't heard Reload and St. Anger before than my heart is with you
Your thoughts in this trying time are much appreciated.
me here shedding a tear since load was my introduction to metallica or metal to begin with the albums nothing special when i think of it nowdays but i wouldnt really stomp on it as hard as you did
i know what it feels like to really like an album that introduced you to a band and everyone else dislikes it. you’ll hear more about that soon
I'm sorry but I am in total disagreement with you here. I am a trash metal guy but I dig this album. It's very underrated.
When you see the “A Year & A Half In The Life Of...” documentary, you’ll see that Hetfield & Hammett always had a love for Blues & Country. Theirs even a scene where James plays in a Blues bar.
And hey, Anthrax & Pantera dabbled in Country round this time. It was in the zeitgeist
I cannot believe some of the things you just said. Are you being serious?
78 minutes 59 seconds is maximum amount of time a CD can hold
something i´ve learned with this album is that if you are comming from a very strong thrash (death, Black, etc) feedback you ain´t gonna get it, this is not a brutal album, it barely resemblaces a Metal album But with time this album grows on you Massively, specially when you realize you´ve been listening to the same song and same thrash album for a long time, just with a different name and a different band LOL.
Dunno, i just end up loving Load, even though i had similar complains to the charachter on the video when i was about 18, this album really stood the test of time.
Exactly! While personally this isn't my favorite era of Metallica, I certainly can respect they were willing to take a risk and try a new direction musically that, to their credit, they wanted to do. You can certainly feel the passion in the songs they wrote, even if the style change isn't to old-school fans' liking. And the band still enjoys playing those Load/Reload tracks LIVE till this day.
Can't really say the same with their Big 4 peers and their "sellout" albums tho. Slayer never touched Diabolus In Musica again after that phase. Same with Megadeth with Risk (which arguably was more of a sellout attempt than Load/Reload imo) and twice with Super Collider. Anthrax I can sorta give a pass since John Bush was fronting the band from Sound of White Noise till We've Come For You All, but still felt somewhat forced.
As someone who loves both Metallica and Megadeth I find it odd that SOME Metallica fans stick up for Load/Reload (2 albums I've always liked) but then are so quick to not give that same mentality or consideration to Risk.
You say Load wasn't a sellout album and I agree with that. Like you said, they were trying something different. Yet when Megadeth did that with Risk, you're so quick to say they sold out.
I get there are some Metallica fans that just hate Megadeth and vice versa, but at the very least be consistent with what you say.
13:05 does Lars spit beer into the crowd?
This is a horrible video. The house that Jack built is fantastic. I was happy to see that your sub count and view count are very low. This is a try hard video.
i agree with the vid for the most part, but i personally love Ronnie. it's such a groove
"Boomer rock" "Try hard" 😂 And no, im not laughing at your petty jokes. Clearly everything about this albulm went over your head; unfortunately for you you aint Drax and couldnt catch it before it went past you.
Clearly didnt come in with an open mind, like 99.9% of every Metallica fan at the time. The departure in styles from TBA to the Loads was greater than AJFA to TBA that's for sure. Im not gonna completely dismiss everything you said, Ronnie is in my all time bottom 3 Metallica songs (youll hear #1 in Reload). But if youre not gonna be able to appreciate a track like Mamma Said and call it fake anything is really a slap in the face of the genuine feeling James put into the song lyrics and music.
Next time, YOU try harder.
13:17 CDs maximum storage capacity for audio is 80 minutes
I am sorry that you are against the album. I find it really good and emotional. It has so much musical diversity and musicality - every song is a different world. I had so much special moments with this album - great musical love of mine! :)
I don’t think the lyrics or the "tough guy posturing" are that bad, tbh
Here's the thing about the Load & Reload era, Young Grasshopper.
Both of these albums are not really good but if you cherry pick the good ones from both, you have an albums worth of great songs.
The bad ones definitely deserve it, but don't be so hard on the songs that are actually good on Load.
Load was beast. First MetallicA album I owned. Haters be dammed
I still hate until it sleeps. I got into load - reload in my teens or preteen years. Always will have a place in my heart for Metallica 😎
I love this album! There are a few songs that I skip on some listens (not a fan of Ronnie), but overall I think it’s great!
That being said, I can understand why a lot of Metallica fans were disappointed by it!
6:40 King Nothing even sounds similar to Enter Sandman. Also, King Nothing seems to be a favorite of myself on the album.😊
Look, i get it, if you were there as a fan when Master of Puppets came out, i understand how someone could consider Load to be trash upon its release. But this is a GREAT album. The problem is that it has the name Metallica on it. Bleeding Me and Outlaw Torn are highlights.
Reload fan and I like some off load. I never cared for the they sold out days. The songs hero of the day, until it sleeps and outlaw torn sounds much better with the San Francisco Symphony. It’s how I know those songs. I love reload, I like load.
Its still a metallica album so i still love it
Well, I definitely disagree with this, as I’m a fan of the Load records. But I do appreciate your more thoughtful and nuanced critique of the albums. I remember getting into Metallica around 2000-2001 and being irritated by all the juvenile and outright nasty takes on the Load albums that I was finding on the internet. So it’s refreshing to see that there are now much more thoughtful and fair critiques of the albums, even if I personally don’t agree with them.
Bleeding Me and Outlaw Torn are masterpieces. Clearly this review was made by a “Metallica sucked after AJFA” person
Even some of his commentary on the Justice video is questionable.
Do you feel that you aren't a fan of "tough guy" music in general? Or is it because you feel it's not a good fit for Metallica in general? Or a little of both?
Its your opinion and you are entitled to have one, but I wont hide that I disagree completely on your review. Load has some weaker songs, but it also has one of the best songs made by Metallica. Even though I started my journey with first 4 albums, but Im gonna be honest, Load might be my top 3 and overall I think its one of their best albums. Load is a pure art to me, with deep lyrics and very heart touching vibes. Glad they wanted to experiment with new Sounds cuz they made something special
I like this album. Many great songs. ReLoad is better. Reload retrospective please.
literally about to start recording it now! expect it sometime this weekend/monday at the latest
With respect… Maybe “load: an initial listen” would be a more apt title for the video.
Load came out when I was 17 and has the nostalgia factor… But I really like the album. Of course I wouldn’t put it above RTL (my fave), MOP, AJFA, or Metallica. But solid. I think until it sleeps, bleeding me, and the outlaw torn are Metallica classics; and personally I also love the house that Jack built, mama said, and thorn within.
I think had they omitted the three weakest cuts (poor twisted me, for example) it would be a better album and much tighter… Hell they had to chop off the very end of outlaw torn because it was exceeding the available length of a compact disc.
I’m waiting for the St. Anger review! 🤣
You may look into how these songs were written and recorded. Reload may then make a little more sense. While both of these records talk about James' heroin addiction a lot, Reload doubles up on it while load dealt with a lot of depression. They are a far cry from lightning-justice. It's not thrash in any wat but I have come to like them a lot. St anger on the other hand...If you like trashing their material, just wait till you get there.
Its called evolution man , that's it , if you've read into the band whatsoever. You would know they needed to change direction and the load and reload albums are great and very diverse. That's why they are the biggest band in the world.
Great album.
a lot of these opinions are just wrong. you're just salty about them "selling out".
Everyone keeps saying Load is great, my opinion Reload is far better. Load, in my opinion, has three good songs, Reload has 5-6. And, I agree with alot of what you say.
Once james voice changed in late 94 early 95 he couldn't sing like he did during the black album or before that album a person's voice can xhange over time well his did so his singing had to change with it
Load and Reload have James' best vocals.
@@talesxavier5752 maybe
i understand that it aint for everyone tbh
Bleeding Me is in my top 10 metallica songs so this kinda stung 😭
I don't love the Loads, but honestly, if I hated it as much as you do I wouldn't have bothered talking about it.
This is an amazing record but when I listen to it, I start it on track 3
ngl i love ronnie
It’s not terrible, but I accept the fact that the greatness of their first 5 albums will never be reached again. That said, I’ve been really enjoying 72 seasons.
I get you. I couldn’t listen to the second half of the album. I haven’t since I listened to it since I heard It in the 90’zzz…if you do Re-Load, just know I can’t even listen to the whole album. 2-3 songs I can listen to without shutting it off 💀💀💀💀💀💀💀
Load and Reload were just I need of some serious editing. A single album instead of a double album.
Fuel
Memory remains
Devils Dance
Until it Sleeps
Hero of the Day
Bleeding Me
Fixxer
Unforgiven 2
Outlaw Torn - the studio version is bit boring, the Orchestra from S&M brings this song to life.
Love this album - but yeah few duds in there. I'd lose the first 2 songs, Mama Said, Poor Twisted Me and maybe Ronnie. Take Unforgiven 2, Better Than You, Bad Seed and Prince Charming off Re-Load l. Release it as a double album.
Its not a bad album at all but its not a thrash album masterpiece that i expect.. just mho
People alwaus complain about their long "drawn out" songs but they did the same shit on the 80s records everyone hails as the greatest. It seems like you went into this with preconceived notions about the record. Just because it isnt super fast thrash and its different doesnt mean its bad. I know its bad when you talk bad about the classics this album has like theyre generic lol. They arent trying to be fake this album came from the heart they just did what they wanted to do. You didnt even listen to the good parts of several of the songs. You just want it to be short and generic and not have diff sections like metallica albums always have. Its ironic that youre calling it generic when some of this stuff is some of the more unique things theyve done. You went into this with preconcieved notions. It came out when i was 13 i didnt like it as much as the older records but it had alot of great tracks (some of them you didnt even listen to long enough to get into the better parts) If you cant go into it with an open mind without preconcieved notions you most likely are not gonna like load.
The Cure is complete filler I think. I enjoy Load and Reload. That was “my” Metallica. This was what Metallica looked and sounded like when I started listening to them so maybe there is some nostalgia tied in. I’m also in the minority when it comes to St. Anger. I love that album, too. Lol
While I discovered Metallica somewhere between 90-92 when I was 9-11 with Ride the Lightning, I had zero problems getting into the Load/Reload era.
When I finally had the internet I was shocked and surprised at the general consensus of Metallica fans regarding the Black Album and anything after.
I enjoyed it all.
Apparently not everyone else did.
The only Metallica album I don't like is Lulu.
My lord i think i found possibly the worst review of this album on the internet? Same with the rest of this channel. This guy thinks hes the best guy to ever exist.
The Metallica I loved died with the justice album. I don’t hate everything after that but I def don’t love it. They’ll never be heavier than justice. This music all reminds me of Dr. feel good. Thanks a lot Bob Rock.
Load? It's a load allright...
No but honestly after some patience with it there are more good songs than just Kind Nothing like Until it Sleeps and Bleeding Me (that middle riff is killer) and a lot of riffs and basslines sound nice.
