Music Memories: "Load" by Metallica (7th year post)

"Load" By Metallica

This year marks the twentieth anniversary of the album "Load" by the band Metallica.  This album was controversial when it came out on June 4, 1996  .  Not only did Metallica infamously sport shorter hair on the back of the album cover, but the music was creativly different from the self titled "Metallica", released just five years before in 1991.  I consider it to be a mixed bag of music, much like the self titled "The Beatles" (White Album). The songs range from complicated pieces of rock and roll, gloomy ballads, and simple "country" songs.  Well thats enough of my rambling, here's the track list (strong language):

1.  Ain't My Bitch
2.  2X4
3.  The House That Jack Built
4.  Until It Sleeps
5.  King Nothing
6.  Hero Of The Day
7.  Bleeding Me
8.  Cure
9.  Poor Twisted Me
10.  Wasting My Hate
11.  Mama Said
12.  Thorn Within
13.  Ronnie
14.  The Outlaw Torn
