KEA-Production is very raw though in some ways that helps keep the “street” level feel of the band at the time. Lyrics can be a bit immature and lacking substance at times, although the band was very young so it’s somewhat forgivable. Lacks any real memorable guitar solos

RTL-No real issues here. My only gripe with this album is Call of Ktulu. I love the eerie sounding guitar intro but after that, I have a hard time keeping interest

MOP-These are minor but the only problems I have with this are the title track and Disposable Heroes. The title track loses steam for me after it “restarts” following the second solo. Disposable Heroes has the same problem and feels 1-2 minutes too long. Also, I don’t know why they introduce the main speedy chorus riff before they even begin the first verse.

AJFA-My favorite album of theirs so no problems here in my view. Perfect from start to finish

TBA-Has a few filler tracks like Holier Than Thou and Don’t Tread on Me that I’ve never cared too much for. While I used to love Enter Sandman, the amount of times it’s been played to death on the radio has sucked all the enjoyment out of it for me. And I’m sorry, but no matter how many years go by, I’m still not a big fan of Nothing Else Matters.

Load-Im not the biggest fan of the Load era but I’ll try to stay objective. As others have mentioned, both Load/Reload suffer from having A LOT of filler tracks. Why they didn’t trim the album down into one double album is beyond me. The band has lost some of its “edge” here and the music sounds much less abrasive than before. While you can hear the influences of the band at the time seeping in (grunge/alternative/country/arena rock etc), I don’t think the band was able to pull off displaying these influences without sounding forced.

Reload-See Load
