Are These Metallica Albums?

[@ricequin]

I think of Load and Reload as separate only because I was around when they were released and experienced them as separate entities with a gap between them.

[@evilcc82]

yes, and different vibes to the songs too.

[@Džejms_Bong]

They are different albums. The difference in sound is huge regardless of songs being written at same sessions. It sounds exactly like Hetfield said, Load was kind of warm up for Re-Load. Despite huge production on it , Load sounds like demo compared to Re-Load.

[@garyv2498]

So, I'm at 14. I was ready to say the S&M albums were not "real" albums until you mentioned something I hadn't considered. A normal live album is just a recording of a live performance of material that exists on a regular album, with some minor variations. But the addition of the symphony is not a minor variation, and is a significant contribution to each song. Essentially different arrangements of existing songs, so they become unique pieces. And thus, I think that makes them actual albums. And my definition of an album does not require them material to be uniquely new creations. Covers count. Bands put covers in their albums all the time. So what if the album is entirely covers? Garage Inc still counts as an album. EPs like Garage Days Re-Revisited and Beyond Magnetic are too short to be an album. Load and Re-load may have started with the intent to be one album. But they have separate releases, so they are separate albums. And I agree with you, Lu Lu is a Lou Reed album that Metallica was featured on. It is not a Metallica album featuring Lou Reed.

To be more lore accurate: Load came and Reload poured out… on the shelves of music stores, that is.

41 years and 11-ish studio albums later... I guess new material is not a priority, when it's the touring that brings in the money.

[@AndriyVasylenko]

Still better than touring and basically no new music at all for decades. Which is a lot of older bands.

[@mrpositronia]

@AndriyVasylenko true. Hopefully their next album comes before 2030

[@papai9698]

thank napster

[@tim6310]

On the other hand, a lot of people don't want new music from Metallica, so why bother making new albums when there's no demand? Imagine you put out a new album every 3 years or so only to be met with hundreds of KZbinrs making long videos about how much it sucks compared to the old shit?

[@rw4652]

bro you always straight up ignore metallica feat. ja rule and swiss beats - we did it again as if that didnt happen

[@ArcuesDoesStuff-sz7eu]

So, no mention of the helping hands acoustic album? some of the songs have new arrangements, Disposable, All within my hands, horsemen, etc. always thought it was really cool.

[@AndriyVasylenko]

Yeah, forgot that stuff. But in the end, that wouldn’t change much.

[@LeoDavidson]

I'd definitely count Garage Inc., and also the AWMH live albums as well, since they have unique arrangements of the songs. But I can also see why most wouldn't count them.

[@kenknight5983]

No Leaf Clover and -Human were leftovers from the Load/ReLoad period that they couldn't get to work (having the orchestra there helped complete them). It's tracks like that and the Presidio stuff that makes me wonder how much unfinished stuff is around. I'd be surprised if there aren't a bunch of eighties songs that never got made, and I speculate that whilst writing the black album, lots of ideas got thrown away for sounding too much like the eighties stuff. With the Load era they had many riffs to jam on, and one of the reasons they chose to work with Bob Rock again is to have a professional ear decide which ideas work and which don't. I've always wanted to hear some of those riffs that never made it during that period. Bands don't like to go backwards, but I've always wanted an ep finishing off some of these old songs, particularly now that they have Rob who could add some of his own colour to the tracks

[@Jayteaseepiirturi]

This is right, Andriy. :D Figuring out how many albums Metallica really have is REALLY muddy. :D

[@mikegallagher8131]

Their first 5 studio albums are what I listen to the most. I ignore the Loads and St Anger albums. I got the Loads (disappointment) and heard a little St Anger to not bother with it. I've gotten picky with their recent stuff. I'm not sure how many albums to really count for them. The original Garage Days album was good since Jason's bass is heard before they silenced him on Justice.

[@Evil-Never-Dies]

It’s actually not the first Garage Days

[@Vivi_9]

@@TheWatchernator Death Magnetic is by far their best album this century though

[@49TheWall]

Let's not forget the Helping Hands live album

[@Joybuzzard]

'LuLu' was a Lou Reid album with Metallica as a backing band. Were the 'Use Your Illusion' albums 1 or 2 albums? Same for 'Load' and 'Re-Load'. Does 'The Spaghetti Incident' count as a Guns N Roses album? Same for the 'Garage Days'. I like how Metallica makes every album with a different sound and different song structures, so that each album is like it's own sub-genre. Ever since the 80s there's been a repeating pattern, a million copycat bands emerge from their garages with the sound of the last Metallica album just in time to start hating on the newest Metallica album that has a completely different sound that influences the next crop of copycat garage bands.

[@johnkriete2152]

[@bbwibb02]

This makes me think of a weird thing back in early 2003 (pre-St. Anger) where my girlfriend was convinced Metallica had, at minimum, 30 albums. She swore that her ex had all of their albums and there clearly were 30 or so. She refused to believe me that they only had 7 at the time (8 if you count Garage Inc. or 9 if you count S&M). I figured she was also counting Megadeth albums, but even then, at the time, that only adds another 9 albums. I even gave her that maybe she was also including singles and such, but no, she continued to insist that Metallica, for sure, without a doubt, had released a minimum of 30 full albums between 1983-2003. Even Prince only put out 21 albums in that time (granted, one was a 3-disc set and one was a 5-disc set that was technically 3 albums). We agreed to disagree.

[@RetroPillowcase]

😮 she crazy

[@sleepdeep305]

It’s definitely 11. S&M is a live album that just so happens to have 2 new Metallica songs, and Garage Inc is a partial live, partial cover…compilation album. I just don’t see any universe where those could be counted as full, original Metallica releases.

[@RetroPillowcase]

Is the spaghetti incident (gnr) and renegades of funk (rage against the machine) not counted either?

[@christianmetalchannel5231]

Ep= Extended Play because it is an extension of the bands discography Lp= Long Play is used to describe a full album

[@Vorticy135]

EP is anything under 30 minutes. Ie Garage Days Revisited. An LP is for a full-length studio album. They are left over terms from the vinyl/record days.

Risk sucks and is terrible compared to metallicas last 3 records. It's a good thing music is subjective and everyone has their own opinion...

[@papai9698]

@midnight347 anything lametallica has produced after the black album is childish and completely lacks artistic value. Risk certainly sucks from a 'metal' perspective and I don't like it too, but it's an incredibly creative, mature and versatile collection of songs. you just need to listen to it critically instead of as a metalhead.

[@wayfaringman8418]

I remember nearly 30 years ago, when we metalheads were debating Metallica. Four excelling albums followed by a commercialized Black album had us wondering what was going on. I held out hope until Reload came out and feeling dirty that I was purchasing another load of shit album, thereafter joined the consensus: Metallica was dead and MetallicASS was all that was left.

[@yourcousinvinny4177]

The reason you think load/reload are one album is because any one that didn’t know Garage Inc was covers and is actually “Garage Inc” and not “Garage Incorporated” is a either you or naive/young/foreigner. In your case it’s because you’re younger than me and a foreigner. I love your content bro. Just telling you that your perception isn’t the perception in the US, pretty much at all.
