Editorial Review:
Japanese exclusive reissue of 1997 album, packaged in a miniature LP gatefold sleeve, features 13 tracks. CBS. 2003.
Description of Reload:
For many heavy metal fans, Metallica epitomizes the genre, especially for those listeners who remember the band's fast-and-furious 1983 debut, Kill 'Em All. As a result, their continued foray into a more stripped-down, laid-back sound with this album has met a mixed response. However, there's enough innovation and just plain strange stuff on this album to make it worth a listen. The creepy "The Memory Remains" is perfectly accentuated by Marianne Faithfull's backing vocals, and "Where the Wild Things Are" features the multilayered vocals and guitars that Metallica is famous for, albeit at about half their usual speed. The opening ("Fuel") and closing ("Fixxxer") tracks are especially strong, and intermixed with some slower, country-inflected tunes are the obnoxious rockers that made Metallica the long-running success they are. --Genevieve Williams
Reload Reviews:
Sell out losers 
2009-09-02 - This album's cover is from a guys urine and cows blood squeezed between plexiglass similar to the seamen thing for the LOAD cover. Again I would rather own the Urine/blood/semen stained plexiglass then this sell out trash. Metallica suck.
Don't get me started
2009-08-07 - Ever had that feeling when you really like a band so much, you'll get the new album when it comes out and you're trying really hard to like it, making yourself think you do, but you wonder why it's so hard? That's exactly how I felt about Reload when I was 16. Young and stupid. Times change, and so do people, so if the late 90s were characterized by nu metal and alternative rock, that was your bait for corporate opportunities. Only after 3-4 years of obnoxious overplayed preppy alternative songs on the radio, especially off of this album, I decided to give up on Metallica and traded in all my CDs at the used record store. I still like to thrash all around and act like a maniac every once in a while, but I also appreciate some artistic value in music.
Metallica - Reload 
2009-05-26 - If your a metallica die hard you'll love the album. the seller was great got it in a couple days and they were in constant communication with me. Exactly what i wanted and was looking for.
Sweet 
2009-04-04 - Man! This thing really works well in my CD player!!
Oh, and it sounds nice too! Oh, yeah, it's in good shape and came in a timely manner also!
Awesome!
2009-01-22 - This album is a masterpiece. Pure and simple. The people that use the term "sell out" have not musically evolved. Metallica HAS though. Most people that call them sell-out just repeat what some other person said. Like its not "cool" to listen to this album. A real shame that such ignorance exists. But it is their loss. This is an incredibly produced album. Every song on it is amazing in its own way. I am a fan of their earlier albums as well but this is by far my favorite to this day. Buy it and blast it to 11 in a car.
