28:33 That killed me lmao. Load & Reload were in need of serious fat trimming, because there's a great album in there if they'd have just condensed it into one package. By no means bad albums but definitely bloated as fuck. Curious to see what you think of Outlaw Torn. That's one of my favourites in their entire catalogue. And I really dig this format, man. A lot of channels feel over-produced and unrelatable but this feels like you're just hanging out with a mate. Looking forward to more.
I'm about halfway through and loving it. I hope you do reload as well - it's all the same recording sessions, and I've always thought that those two could have been condensed into one 60-70 minutes album that would have been pretty epic. The filler songs diluted the impact of the more interesting ones.
Favourite songs: Until It Sleeps King Nothing Hero Of The Day Bleeding Me Ronnie Outlaw Torn Outlaw Torn and Bleeding Me i probably prefer the S&M versions, but still love the album cuts. Im certainly someone who can enjoy both sides of Metallica and appreciate the post Justice material. Well maybe not St Anger, but ya know 😅
And Justice For All is my favorite metallica album. Has been ever since i first heard it in the early 90s. All the early albums are their own masterpieces though.
Load is like the best "on wheels" music to me, like that semi fast but cool sounding and relatively predictable rhythm gives the best "afk vibe" on the road Not a cyclist but If I were would definitely rock it every day and wherever I may roam tbh :)
I'm not far into my watching (28:39), but James never felt "sure" as a singer. Even until Master Of Puppets he was looking for a replacement, and it's only when John Bush refused to replace him in Metallica, in order to stay in Armored Saint, that James really took his "singing'" position as a long time function. Still, he did took quite vocals lessons between black album and Load. I don't agree that he wasn't sounding "sure" of his vocal deliveries, but I totally see what you mean by this. I don't feel it your way, but I see it. 36:16 in, Until It Sleeps : Man, you gotta give him props on this for his vocal delivery. Even if you see it as a pop construction (sure, it is like said : intro, verse, chorus, etc.), but the feeling on this one is really underrated IMO. Super well done. 39:01 Ok ! Now I'm baffled haha. Being a big old Amorphis (pre Am Universum era) and Sentenced fan : nope, I don't agree at all. Sentenced always been unique in their type of composition/riffing (I can't think of any of their song sounding like Until It Sleeps). Maybe the younger Amorphis, because I really didn't get into them after Am Universum. Anyway, I really don't see it.
First time I heard Load, I instantly thought of Road Rash! Seriously, "Aint my Bitch" crashed into things, and I thought about motorbikes, biker metal. Load is vastly underrated. Is it 100mph metal? No, its not supposed to be. At its best, it is pure Tony Iommi- Bleeding Me, Outlaw Town have those deep heavy grooves. Listen to Black Sabbaths "I", to hear that comparison. Until it Sleeps is Danzig influenced Gothic Blues. Then elsewhere, its the classic hard rock that Hetfield heard before he disovered the NWOBHM. Zeppelin, Aerosmith , Nugent. I totally have always felt that Load/ReLoad should have been a single album. Take the best 6 tracks from both, and you have an Awesome heavy rock album. Brooding and groovy. 👍👍
It was a good reaction up until you played your guitar through almost all of Bleeding Me, and not paying attention to it, it is actually the best song on this album.
Yup. Haven't been to the movies since 2004 because it's agony to me. Imagine this, the last movie I saw in the theatre was I, ROBOT. What a shitshow to end my cinema goings with

Favourite songs:
Until It Sleeps
King Nothing
Hero Of The Day
Bleeding Me
Ronnie
Outlaw Torn

James no longer had the youthful angst in his voice. He matured.
Enjoyed the vid though.
The cover of Load is a picture of blood and semen mixed together.
I rediscovered you since four years ago when you were shitting on tool. Haha. Glad to have found you again.
And Justice For All is my favorite metallica album. Has been ever since i first heard it in the early 90s. All the early albums are their own masterpieces though.

That and having bizarrely rigid views on songwriting.
WHERE IS OUTLAW TORN?
So have you heard the latest album too? I see on your channel you know Death Magnetic, but what about 72 seasons and Hardwired?
ADHD goes hard on you

@@finowa react to Mastodon - divinations
@@finowa same for me. I always talk during the movie
Peter Gabriel playing congos lol.
So what is your favorite Metallica song of all time m8 ?
The artist that made the album cover created it using his own blood… and semen. So you weren’t too off base there lol.
Classic Metallica syndrome.
When an album would be great on it's own, but it being written by Metallica lessens the experience.
Luit mun ajatukset. Olin säntäämässä paikalle vinkumaan ettet millään vitulla oo ollu kuulematta Loadia. En vieläkään kyl usko 100%...
Hahaha, no mutta miks oisin! Jos ei ole ollut kiinnostusta eikä kukaan ole väkisin istuttanut kuuntelemaan 😄
React to Mastodon
I love this album so much ❤
