This video was fucking funny, it made me want to merge without looking. Nothing but albums I personally like getting comedically shat on for some laughs, I knew if the KISS one was good this one would be better. Keep up the good work. Also I could really go for an ice cream cone right now ngl.
Over the years I have come to like these albums, I think Reload is the better one. But back when these came out. Those were some sad times. I remember going to the record store and getting a promo copy of Load. I put it on and was stoked for some new Metallica. Then it started and instantly I was like WHAT THE HELL JUST HAPPENED. Ain't My Bitch and 2x4 were so awful that I never listened to the rest for over ten years. Then I got some used copies and threw the covers away, forced myself to listen to them as background music. After not taking it so seriously they started to grow on me. Sure, it's horrible Metallica, but its good rock music. And I must say, while I think its sucks, they do actually sound like this is what they wanted to do and there is a lot of creativity. These are way better than all the newer releases. I do like 72 Seasons because it sounds like a good balance between the Load era and what they have been doing. It does not sound like they are forcing themselves to make music they can no longer do.
Where the Wild Things are and Low Man’s Lyric are the best songs on this album, but they aren’t good Metallica songs. But I still think they’re both better than anything on Load. It was a weird time to be a Metallica fan. Load and Re-Load were like a bunch of not-quite B-sides. It should have come with free ice cream cone. Or an apology.
Always liked ReLoad more. Never understood the hate the albums got, some songs are good, some are passable, some are boring, some are bad...but wouldn't say terrible. 72 Seasons is far worse ice cream cone. Can't even get to the halfway point on that one.
Ice Cream Cones: I bought these albums when they came out and tried to make excuses for it's awfulness at the time...yeah they're bad except for a few songs. I think they wanted to make a double album of this but had too much pressure by the record label to get the product out on time $$$ Thanks for the funny commentary that was great.
