The Unforgiven 2 is James’ favorite song from Metallica, but he doesn’t really like the album because it felt forced upon them, which later they made St. Anger to do whatever they want basically, and not feel so pressured. But anyways, I personally really think this album has some really good songs, especially The Unforgiven 2. Good job Metallica!!

My FAVORITE!!!!!!

Fuel, The Memory Remains, and The Unforgiven II are the best on this album, but the other songs are very repetitive. This is the stage when Metallica was still trying stuff out, looking for the best thing, which eventually turned out to be Death Magnetic. I would give a 5 star, but the other songs just aren’t doing it for me. Nevermind, the songs are actually pretty good. Still repetitive, but pretty cool. It makes a 4.8 for me, but ima round to 5.

I know some people hate this album but personally I think the memory remains, fuel, the unforgivin 2 and carpe deme baby are really good songs.

I really didn’t care much for this or Load when it first came out, tbh. I was too hooked on their previous albums. Fast-forward 25 years and now that I know and totally appreciate Hetfield’s talent with songwriting (lyrics AND riffs) I’m loving this stuff. Hetfield is the man and he puts his all into his music and that’s what I love about Metallica. \m/

This is Metallica’s most underrated album definitely. It gets so much hate that it doesn’t deserve. Fuel, The Unforgiven II are top class tracks. A really good album. 8/10, and 7th favorite Metallica album. MY RANKING 1. Fuel 2. The Unforgiven II 3. Prince Charming 4. The Memory Remains 5. Where The Wild Things Are 6. Better Than You 7. Attitude 8. Fixxxer 9. Devil’s Dance 10. Carpe Diem Baby 11. Bad Seed 12. Slither 13. Low Man’s Lyric

I saw Metallica in concert for the first time right when this album came out. I remember being so pumped and bought it the day it was released and listened all the way through and was underwhelmed but thought that maybe it was one of those kind of albums that you had to listen to a few times before it started to grow on you. It just never happened for me. Load is a great album all the way through, but this one just didn’t work out. I do applaud Metallica for being willing to venture out and experiment with new sounds. If the stuck to the way the they sounded in Kill ‘Em All, they would’ve fizzled out long ago without the legacy they’ve left behind. Basically, if you own everything from Ride the Lightening through Load, you’re good.

These are definitely leftover ideas from Load, but the highs on this album are better than Load’s highs. Load is just a more consistent album. Reload is fantastic though.

Fuel is amazing…

My favorite two songs are “Devil’s Dance” and “Unforgiven II.” I would put “The Memory Remains” on there, but the old lady ruins the song. Fuel, Slither, Carpe Diem Baby, and Bad Seed are awesome too. All songs on this album are at least tolerable. Whoever doesn’t think so can go listen to Nickleback.
