My preference between the two changes, but I tend to prefer Load because of Hero of the Day, Bleeding Me, and The Outlaw Torn, whereas ReLoad's best song is Fixxxer which stands next to the rest, but ReLoad's middle is pretty mediocre, whereas Load just has a handful of mediocre songs spread out, I've found Load easier to get through and even silly stuff like Mama Said is less cringey than Better Than You. Oh wait... Load has Ronnie, so yeah it does have the worst song out of the bunch, haha. Anyways, while ReLoad is arguably more consistent, I just find the highlights of Load to be more plentiful.
I can't believe I wrote this much on these albums because they're both only decent 6/10s to me, but I do still have a lot of nostalgia towards them because I had a great summer vacation listening to them some 10 or 11 years ago. |

The music is ok, but I don't think it compares to earlier Metallica. But Megadeth did that with Countdown, as well. |

Ride the Lightning is by far my favourite Metallica album. And I do prefer their first four to pretty much everything else they've done except Load which I prefer to most of AJFA except for songs like Blackened which is better than anything on Load. On Megadeth's end, I think Youthanasia and Countdown are pretty solid, though about half the songs on each album are like filler to me. Cryptic Writings is like the former albums but with more filler, and Risk is unlike anything Megadeth should have delved into stylistically. This is unrelated to the rest of my post, but I like 90's, 00's, and 10's metal more than 70's and 80's. Metal innovated more in the 90's and 00's, though the 70's and 80's had the big task of laying down the groundwork for the genre, so I respect those decades for that, but I still think metal has been better since the 90's. |

Load has some gold, but I don't really like Ain't My Bitch, 2X4, Cure, Poor Twisted Me and Ronnie. I've also always felt that the heavy chorus in Until it Sleeps is not nearly as good as the quiet parts. |

I really need to relisten to both albums before I judge them too much more, it's been too long since I heard either in full. But I'm not exactly itching to hear them again, I'll need to be in a very specific mood, then maybe. |
