For many heavy metal fans, Metallica epitomizes the genre, especially for those listeners who remember the band's fast-and-furious 1983 debut, Kill 'Em All. As a result, their continued foray into a more stripped-down, laid-back sound with this album has met a mixed response. However, there's enough innovation and just plain strange stuff on this album to make it worth a listen. The creepy "The Memory Remains" is perfectly accentuated by Marianne Faithfull's backing vocals, and "Where the Wild Things Are" features the multilayered vocals and guitars that Metallica is famous for, albeit at about half their usual speed. The opening ("Fuel") and closing ("Fixxxer") tracks are especially strong, and intermixed with some slower, country-inflected tunes are the obnoxious rockers that made Metallica the long-running success they are. --Genevieve Williams

Re-'Load' Not Quite As Charming Second Time Around..........2007-07-30
Metallica's LOAD surprised many by selling huge numbers and still winning many fans over despite Metallica's new image and new sound. Hell, it even won me over and I love Metallica's earlier efforts. RELOAD can, quite presumably, be seen as the mere sequel to load thanks to some of its sound being similar to the sonics found on LOAD, but it still works for the most part thanks to many memorable songs and Metallica's continuing evolution.
Most notably, Metallica continues to charge hard with the opening slam-bang of "Fuel", one of the highlights of RELOAD, thanks to it furious riffing and hard-hitting rhythms. Indeed, here singer/guitarist James Hetfield along with guitarist Kirk Hammett, bassist Jason Newsted, and drummer Lars Ulrich have created a song that should win most of the retained fans over. "The Memory Remains" follows in traditional suit, albeit with some strange odd breaks and Marianne Faithfull's "la-la-la's" sprinkling the second half of the song to breathe a new life into Metallica. Elsewhere, the band does again rock hard with "Better Than You"; goes again for country with the seven and a half minute "Low Man's Lyric, which features a hurdy-gurdy; they spit venom with the stomping "Attitude"; and they close the album with the majestic and towering "Fixxxer", which clocks in over eight minutes long. However, there is a little filler this time on this album, as is with "Prince Charming", a decent rocker that does nothing to break new ground; "Bad Seed", which plods despite showing some teeth and menace; and "Carpe Diem Baby", which still shows glimmers of promise. RELOAD takes some serious risks that, for the most part, pay off. However, it does come with the price of slight filler and a few throw-away tracks, that while still good, simply don't add enough to an otherwise satisfying record.
So while RELOAD still showed that there were many Metallica fans sticking around (it still sold an impressive 435,000 copies its first week of release), it also took some risks in losing some fans. Metallica will still remain by and large one of the best metal bands around. RELOAD is another addition to that all-important catalog of one of metal's finest bands. It may not win over new fans or win back old fans, but it still burns slow and sounds good after all these years.
The Downfall of a Die Hard.......2007-07-25
In the truest sense of the word, "die hard" to me has always meant that no matter what other people will say or what skewed perspectives they may hold, one does not waiver and continues with his or her own path.
I guess I'm a die hard Metallica fan.
The first album I heard from them back in 6th grade was obviously the self titled. Even then it was beyond my comprehension how heavy music could be. Years later it was Justice, then Kill Em All et al until I had their entire collection. Needless to say, every single album impressed and continues to impress me.
Yes, I even mean Load, Reload and (gasp!) ST. ANGER.
*ducks to avoid gunfire, arrows, Molotov cocktails and hatemail*
YEAH, I SAID IT! St. Anger was more of the same in the sense that it was completely different from Load/Reload, which after so many albums of change seemed only natural and logical. The only two albums that sound somewhat similar are Lightning and Master, and the differences are undeniable.
Some of the self-proclaimed "old school" fans will say Metallica really jumped the shark on St. Anger, because it sounds like they tried too hard to be tough or something. I don't think they tried to do anything but rock some good music, man -- and although my opinion counts for naught, I say it's good music.
I guess I'm just cursed to put up with the perpetual onslaught of "Awww, dude, you're a f**, everything after Justice SUCKS!" from an alleged legion of "true" and "dedicated" metal fans. Nevermind that I'm a death/grind/doom/power metalhead, I'm a sellout because I like a metal band that decided to do blues rock (and then changed it up again... who wants to hear the same album year after year, anyway?)
But I can dig on the good old fashioned hard blues jams, rock n' roll fury and swagger from tracks like "Devil's Dance," "Better Than You" and "Bad Seed," or the moodier and darker pinings of "Where the Wild Things Are." And that is what makes this album (along with Load since they're basically the same musical divergence from previous material) yet another solid collection of music -- from start to finish -- from a band whose trademark it has been to do so.
For those who've not experienced it and those who have but immediately discarded it, I cannot urge you enough to listen to Load et al not with a discographical bias, but with patience and understanding. If you must, imagine it's not Metallica at all and ask yourself: if you'd never heard of this band before and just heard this music on the radio, would you like it or not?
metallica still has it.......2007-07-23
fact: metallica does not sound like they used to...but guess what? that is a trademark of a great musician. the ability to evolve. if every album had the excact same tempos, beat changes, riffs, etc then all of their albums would sound the same; so who the f u ck would want to listen to album after album of the same material? unlike their predecessors, load and re-load does contain about half filler material which sux. initially they were supposed to be released as a two disc set. what should have happened is take the first 5-6 songs off of load and the first 5-6 off of re-load and made one killer album and scrapped the rest of the garbage songs (i.e. low man's lyric and mama said). if any other no-name band would have debuted this album or load everybody would be going nuts talking about how hard they rock.
One Star Because it is the lowest available.......2007-05-27
I don't think Metallica should use the prefix "Metal" in their name anymore. This is more like "Grungtalica" or worse "Post-Grungetalica" or the more popular title "Alternica." This title is not even metal, with the exception of the only good song "Fuel." If you want to get a good metal/thrash album, get Metallica's first four albums. If you really want something from the "nineties," get Countdown to Extinction by Megadeth or get the Pantera albums. Even the Iron maiden albums with Blaze Bayle are ten times better than this garbage. Just do yourself a favor and do NOT get this album. If you really want Fuel, buy it on I-tunes or download it or something, just don't buy this album.
Keith Coady is half right.......2007-04-17
This album was a complete letdown. Load was an excellent hard rocking cd and I had faith that this band didnt all together suck after the black album....well this album wasnt that great. I dont like the orignal Unforgiven, so why would I like part 2? The rest of the album did have weird stuff, it didnt pan out but at least they tried it. Ill give it an anther spin to see how it goes.

Tan of skin and furry of chest, Tom Jones has been wowing the crowds since he first walked away from the green, green grass of his Welsh home and into the hearts of housewives the world over. Jones rode the 1990s kitsch revival and, with the release of 1999's Reload, proved himself to be one of the music industry's most powerful and entertaining survivors. A collection of duets and collaborations with various contemporary stars of pop, rock, and indie music (Robbie Williams, the Stereophonics, the Cardigans, and Catatonia's Cerys Matthews, to name a few), Reload put Jones back on the musical map for a whole new generation of music fans. Highlights here include his cover of Portishead's "All Mine" with the Divine Comedy, his exuberant take on "Mama Told Me Not to Come" with the Stereophonics, and a playful "Are You Gonna Go My Way" with Williams. --Ted Kord

Great And Varied Collaborative Album.......2004-10-17
Each track on "Reload" pairs the legendary Tom Jones with a different collaborator on a different cover song, spanning a variety of styles from ballads to techno-ish dance type tracks to driving hard rock. Not a single bad song on the album, but some definately take precedence over others. Among the highlights are the lightening power rock track "Are You Gonna Go My Way?" with Robbie Williams; the honeymoon-ready and rhythmically-mesmerising "Sexbomb" with Mousse T.; percussiony rocker "You're Right, I'm Left, She's Gone" with James Dean Bradfield, the fast-paced "You Need Love Like I Do" with the unique, husky vocals of Heather Small; and the album's great opener, "Burnin' Down The House" with the Cardigans. And is it just me, or does anybody else out there think "Mama Told Me Not To Come" (with the Stereophonics) should be retroactively included on the "Rocky Horror Picture Show" soundtrack? And tying everything together, the inimitable soaring baritone vocals of Tom Jones himself.
One of the better albums of Jones's career; a solid nine out of ten.
NOT JUST A SHLOCK ARTIST.......2003-12-12
here's MY experience with this album: the guy at the record shop told me: buy this for your old lady. he knew she liked elvis and other acts of that kind, so i did. i brought it home, she listened to it and every track she heard she said: aw i don't know, this isn't quite what i like. this isn't the tom jones i remember. and her fifteen-year-old daughter sitting beside her was going: oooh tom jones- cool. and every track she was listening to she was going, oooh i must have this -- so naturally she made about 15 copies for herself and all her friends. my old lady never warmed to the thing, and gave it back to me. i could never STAND tom jones, so i didn't listen to the record all that often, if at all. then i got mick jagger's "angel at the doorway", and i thought: what a let-down. tom jones did a better job than this. i mean, EVEN tom jones. so i picked the cd back out from the never-listen-to-this-****-bin i'd consigned it to and hey, bingo! it really gooo-roooved. i've been enjoying it tremendously ever since, i've got the whole thing inside my imac and come across it frequenly without ever pressing the "get rid of this"-button. mick jagger will have to try really hard to catch up! so if you guys in america haven't got this cd on the market as a regular day-to-day available everywhere item, boy, you're really missing out on something. it's the only one of its kind that i know that actually works, where a semi-past it male bullfrog type of singer gets a new lease of life through a cooperation with younger artists. the music, the arrangements, and the actual songs are great too, ranging from an obscure elvis track to gospel, from modern pop to frivolous tin pan alley. and it actually works, it's fun to listen to. i could never understand why frank zappa, of all people, the most exacting task-master of american pop, liked tom jones but here it's obvious: he's a tremendous musician and singer, not just a shlock artist!
and they laughed at pat boone?.......2003-11-06
The hoary Welsh geezer warbler with gold medallions clanging off his hairy barrels and more socks in his drawers than his er... drawers, makes a slight return for this oddity who's-who? collaboration collection of curious power-Vegas deconstructed mod-pop and rock hits. Folks like the Cardigans, Stereophonics and Van Morrison step in to help the dim man's Otis Redding crank up the testerone croak enunciation suitably for a few great squealing, squalling, cocks-out, huge-bollocked, grunting, sweat-stained and throbbing mucho-macho show tune duet covers. Rarely does Jonesy invigorate the songs of others (Are You Gonna Go My Way?, Burning Down the House, Sexbomb, Little Green Bag); rather, it's the generous miasma of straight-faced, carbon-dated braggadocio - grunts, groans, whoos! hahs! - tossed like croutons in his seizure salad of reanimated retirement home mojo histrionics that make this a hoot to hear. Like the social security sex monster on show here, Reload shakes and moans admirably top and bottom, but the midsection is a saggy mess of embarrassing dough (Sunny Afternoon, I'm Left You're Right, You Need Love Like I Do, Looking Out My Window). A simple work like Portishead's B-movie electronica hit All Mine completely sinks him (with cohorts Divine Comedy), though he and fellow antique Van Morrison fare no better with the jumbo leprechaun's Sometimes We Cry - deconstructed here as a sniggly wad of boozey retro-cheese. But when it's bad, it's so bad it's a scream. Look no further than Grones' wagging, insipid and ultimately hilarious neuter of David Bowie and Iggy Pop's old glam/punk Lust For Life. Even Chrissie Hynde's cranky harp and hardened croak aren't strong enough to stifle Jone's straight-laced emasculation - or the resulting giggles. "Of course, I've had it in the ear before," he shudders, hips a jiggling and sock a wiggling. Thanks to Reload, you'll get it in the ear too, over and over again. What fun! Mum, if she isn't busy tossing her knickers at the CD player, will be proud.

Tom Jones is always fantabulous, but this time he brought some friends along to the party! These aren't cheesy covers, oh no! Personal highlights are Lust for life w/ The Pretenders, Little Green Bag w/ Barenaked Ladies, and Sometimes We Cry w/ Van Morrison. Reload is wonderful and if you have a brain in your head, you'll buy yourself a copy.

Despite missing bullets,.......2003-05-28
By C.S.
Every era has a one- hit wonder and / or an artist that had a short term shelf life but long- standing impact. Jimi Hendrix is a perfect 1960's case and point.
In the 1980's that honor belongs to the second version of the "Fab Four" from Liverpool, Frankie Goes to Hollywood.
With their ambient synths, throbbing bass lines and efficient, powerful guitar riffs, the group hit big off their first of only two LP's they released "Welcome to the Pleasuredome" with the mega- hits " Relax", banned by many outlets for the suggestive sexual overtones,and the politically charged anthem "Two Tribes".
Remixes became a big marketing tool during the New Wave era and FGTH certainly took full advantage. Some of that is captured on the " Re- Load" compilation.
Remix LP's are always risky business if you make the mistake of lulling the crowd asleep with re- works that offer little difference in arrangement. Frankie avoids that fate on the first two versions of "Relax",but by the third re- work the overkill has set in. No doubt the third version could have been replaced if at worst by the first re- mix that became public knowledge after the album cut took off. After such a rousing start, a seperate high -quality Frankie track also would have worked well here.
The first of the mixes to "Two Tribes",The Carnage Mix,is well done while the second could have easily been thrown out,though by a scant margin it passes for being listenable.
But for sheer excitement,the band's best track outside of the aformentioned hits lie in both re-makes to the title song to the first album, "Welcome to the Pleasuredome". Both en-capsulate the 80'S and 1990'eras very eficiently and enhance the original the way a re-mix should.
The "Warriors of the Wasteland" mix,taken from the original version from the second record "Liverpool", offers nothing new except to one that has never laid ears on the song and/ or a die- hard fan that failed to obtain the mix upon initial release and would like to add this version to fill out their Frankie library. On the plus side,the song duration on the "Re-Load" version is far shorter than the 11 minute mix on vinyl that was originally released in 1986, but upon review the long version wasnt particularly earth -shattering either! In all likelihood a more exciting version of this track that easily surpasses either one of the takes on this record is in existence.
"Re- Load" re- boots itself back into gear at album's end with the solid "Rage Hard" mix,though it does fade out abruptly just when the listener is about to sink their teeth into the well- structured bridge of the song that made the original recording so striking. This is another song that should have had more space reserved for a second take that would have bolstered the strength of this compilation. Despite some of the gaps here, take into consideation that compilations,whether it is a greatest hits deal or a remix collection like this one, are often times done by record companies wihout any artist input. More than likely,one would believe the band would crafted "Re Load" a bit differently than the final product here, but all of this testimony is purely speculative at best.
Nevertheless, there are enough highlights here to make it a decent buy just off the "Welcome To the Pleasuredome" mixes, though in addition it may not be a bad idea for consumers to skulk around to find alternative re-mixes. A few of the things that were mentioned in assessing "Re- Load" preclude this from being a five star outing that it could have been,like a re-mix for un-released "Liverpool track " Lunar Bay" being another example.
Therefore "Re Load" is like a tea bag dipped in hot water the second time - it still tastes like tea, but the flavor is a little less rich than the first cup. It recieves a low-end three(3) star rating.

Get ready to be Energized!.......2002-01-20
From the moment you pop in this CD you will start to move your feet. Frankie's biggest hits have gone through a make over and the result is mindblowing. Relax, Two Tribes and Welcome to the pleasuredoom all take on new meaning with this remix CD. If you love to dance, you'll love Reload. My favorite track is the 12 inch guide of Rage hard, funny, yet sentual and full of beat. A great CD for parties and dancing.
50/50.......2000-08-01
The original remixes from the eighties are the most original. I have always admired FGTH for their remixes which were an important aspect of their image: "remixing is a work of art, reforming a song into a new one". This means that all the mixes are different. Well the old ones I mean the 90's remixes are based on the rigid EuroHouse formula. The problem with this CD is it diversity. One half of the cd contains dance remixes from the nineties, the other half consists of some original mixes which most of us enjoy most. If you like new mixes you'd better get "Club Mixes 2000" . If you like the eighties (original) mixes than you MUST get "Twelve Inches".Conclusion: Either way you'd probably like only half of this cd..
Great Remixes.......1999-07-07
Excellent variations on familiar songs. Although you may not want to listen through the whole album at once since doing so may be boring (there are several versions of one song in a row), you'll probably easily locate you favorite. I, for one, like some of the remixes almost better than the originals.

this ep has the best song ministry have ever recorded; 'tviii'. no vocals, just cut up film samples and the best riff ever written. an amazing crystallisation of the everything beautiful and hellish about ministry. and the production has to be heard to be believed.
