So, I know these two albums are mostly disliked among the general metallica loving populace, however I think they're both really good albums. They're both much less complex and much less "metal" than the early stuff, and I'm not really crazy about the lyrics, especially on reload, but I think both albums are absolutely littered with some great boogie metal riffing, I just can't stop headbanging to some of these songs! Poor twisted me, wasting my hate, ronnie, carpe diem baby, all great riffs IMO.

That said I think the albums could both use some better lyrics, but I do like the lyrics on some of the songs quite a bit.

It's not the metallica of the 80s, but I really like what they did here. I do hope the new album is more like say, ..And justice or Ride The Lightening, but I'll still be listening to these two alongside the old stuff whether I like it or not smile.gif
