Keith,
I couldn't have said it any better about the napster deal. I'm a die-hard Metallica fan and I do like Load/Reload. I usually dismiss people when they say they hate it either because they probably only listened to it once or only heard what has been played on the radio. But if they've listened to it multiple times, then I would definitely listen to their criticisms. Plus, if you have to compare it to MOP, probably one the greatest metal albums, then of course you are going to be disappointed by Load/Reload. Does that make it a bad album that must be hated??? Hell no. Judge each album individually.
The funny thing is that if Metallica still played the same type of music as they did in the 80's, some of the same people would complain that Metallica is a one-dimensional band, not capable of playing anything else. I'm personally glad they try new things.
