The Reason
All the best artists habitually reinvent themselves. Fifteen years
into their existence, Load, Metallica's sixth studio
album, represents a creative rebirth. Featuring less than half the
songs Metallica has written and recorded in the last 12 months,
Load sees Metallica nod to their past while continuing
to seek their own destiny, rather than accept one dug for them by the
lazy preconceptions of others.
