Many metallica fans like me felt that the band was going into our pockets to get the most mOney they could when they released "ReLoad". In fact, most of us knew that this album was going to be released by the time the band presented "Load". This could be easily be part of a double album but the band and the label decided that if they could double the mOney income instead of releasing a doulbe album they could release two albums with a slight time gap between them. Shame on you guys! So, when you put this album in your CD player you will feel like you're still listening to "Load" because it has the same production, it has the same weaknesses, it has the same kind of riffs, the same type of drum play, vocals, and so on and so on. The only thing is that this gets worse than "Load", because you can't help being shocked when you look at the back cover of the CD and you see there's a song called "The Unforgiven II"! What the hell is that all about? Repeating a radio hit? What is that besides trying to fit in a song that has a secure value to the playlists? Oh man, and the song isn't even as better as the original One... although it feels really like a part II... or should I call it... a B-Side? Although you can like the song, you can't help but rate it as a very very poor idea. The bad songs are here too, like in "Load", and yes they are still very poor. "Better than you" is awful, with those vocals not really synchronized to the song - a song which has little rhythm at all to be called... a song. "Slither" is slow paced, lowly creative, hardly a metallica song and barely listenable. The disconnected "Prince charming" is a mess, although it seems that the band likes it (i don't). The ballad "Low man's lyric" seems a song made by a band searching for a hit and last but not least, "Attitute" a pointless song, whith a strong feeling of deja-vu... "ReLoad" has no excuses like "Load" had, it is with no doubt the worst metallica album ever, and even loving the band so much didn't save it from the bottom of the CD pile. If you're a die-hard fan you may feel tempted to buy it just to fill your collection. My advice then is - wait for the CD price to lower, and meanwhile take a listen to it to understand why. If you're not a metallica can, avoid this One. True... avoid it. Rated: 8
