Liner Notes
Reload is a work on which METALLICA further deepened the rock feel continuing from the previous album Load, centered on thick surging riffs, a low-slung groove and raw singing. There are many passages that win through the weight of the sound and the tenacity of the songs rather than thrash speed. Centered on songs born during the previous album’s making, the band pursues a 1990s-style heavy rock.
The drive of “Fuel,” the unease of “The Memory Remains” and the shadow of “The Unforgiven II” show the band’s wide-ranging expression. Songs like “Devil's Dance,” “Carpe Diem Baby” and “Fixxxer” intersect bluesy feel, dark melody and huge choruses too. The guest appearance of Marianne Faithfull on “The Memory Remains” is striking too. It is a record that vividly carved another strength the band chose in the 1990s.
