Like it's counterpart "Load", "Reload" is not a traditional metallica album. It does however bring back a little of the anger and punch that was long gone on "Load". "Reload" was said to have been recorded at the same time as the last album but I think the guys may have changed a few things since then. The outrage fans displayed after the release of "Load" may have had a slight impact. Bright spots include Prince Charming, Fuel, and Better than you. It's not "master of puppets" but it's no "Load" either!
