It's been forever and a day since I've listened to Load and Reload, but I suspect that I'd take them over The Black Album any day of the week (OMFG I hate that album).
If you can look at that album objectively then I'd suggest giving Megadeth's Risk a shot. It's often seen as their lowest point, and much like Load and Reload, but I surprised myself a little while back by listening to it and absolutely loving it. Dave doesn't do diversity quite as well as Metallica, but... I don't know, his pop rock/metal just has more charm I guess.
