Load and ReLoad are the sixth and seventh studio albums by Metallica, released through Elektra Records on June 4, 1996 and November 18, 1997, five years after their self-titled commercial breakthrough. They were originally meant to be a double album but, due to time constraints, were split into two separate albums. At about 79 and 76 minutes, they are Metallica's longest and fourth-longest studio albums, respectively (the second and third longest actually being a tie between Hardwired... to Self-Destruct and 72 Seasons, both at 77 and a half minutes).Load and ReLoad saw Metallica continuing the more simplified hard rock sound they adopted on the self-titled album, while incorporating blues, southern and alternative rock influences. Naturally, this change led to accusations of They Changed It, Now It Sucks! from long-time fans, with accusations of Sell-Out also running rampant due to the band's almost U2-like haircuts and alt-rock influence. Nevertheless, both albums were massive commercial successes, hitting #1 on the Billboard 200 and selling in excess of 5 million copies each. | |

Stealth Pun | |
| Load and ReLoad (Music) / int_1e7c47ab | comment |
Stealth Pun: The title of the Load album takes on a different meaning if you're aware of how the cover art was created: it's cow blood mixed with semen, or in other words, the artist's load. | |

New Sound Album | |
| Load and ReLoad (Music) / int_22093e9b | comment |
New Sound Album: Downplayed. Structurally, they're very similar to the self-titled album, but they have a more blues-centric guitar sound and even gruffer vocals from James. Not to mention the guitars are tuned down half a step for the entirety of the two albums (except "Devil's Dance", which is played in the key of D minor). | |

Title Track: An odd aversion. The demo for "King Nothing" was titled "Load." However, the final albums have no title tracks in them. | |

Longest Song Goes Last | |
| Load and ReLoad (Music) / int_2bf54826 | comment |
Longest Song Goes Last: Load closes with "The Outlaw Torn", which runs for nearly ten minutes even after shortening it to prevent the CD from skipping; the "Unencumbered by Manufacturing Restrictions Version" available on one of the singles for "The Memory Remains" is a minute longer. Reload closes with "Fixxxer", which runs for just over eight minutes. | |

Happy Place | |
| Load and ReLoad (Music) / int_42a055ac | comment |
Happy Place: "The House That Jack Built" is about sheltering yourself from the dangers of the outside world through alcohol dependence. A topic James is all too familiar with, unfortunately. | |

Sequel Song | |
| Load and ReLoad (Music) / int_6298c177 | comment |
Sequel Song: "The Unforgiven II" is one to "The Unforgiven" from the self-titled. "Cure" is, lyrically at least, a sort of sequel to "The God That Failed." As it's also about James's parents' battles with cancer and how their rigid Christian Science beliefs have been holding them back from successful treatment. | |

| Load and ReLoad (Music) / int_ce6555f0 | comment |
Lighter and Softer: Compared even to the self-titled, these albums are pretty light by Metallica standards (though still heavy by modern rock standards). Although lyrically, they actually contain some of Metallica's darkest and most serious material. | |
