k. I've been listening to Metallica since their first album, and while I agree that there were someplaces in reload (more in Load) that were weak, This 2 CD set is AWESOME. First CD ROCKS second CD is good for the collector's among us (myself included) I have Garage days, rerevisited and all their releases) Workin on getting Live Sh*t. To the reviewer before me. Sir you have your own opinion, but it is disrespectful and insulting to compare them to some preppie teeny band. they have not gone soft, just changes thus enabling them to stay alive and still ROCK. unlike Megadeth. While still good have broken up. Metallica 4 EVER
