i too like Load/Reload, not edgy enough to say i dig them more than the 80s albums tho
I don't really like heavy metal at all, though I will concede 80s Metallica is one of the best exemplars of that genre.
Stooges and AC DC (bluesy groove rock) are probably closest comparisons to 90s Metallica
The band was absolutely hated by a large segment of their fan base for making those albums.
Not if someone has actually heard COC after Pepper joined the band...

The Clash- Sandinista. It's overstuffed to the point of being anarchic and bold. It's on the list of albums I made assumptions about based on whatever critical/fan consensus.
Love this album, but it's certainly not consistently hated. More of a case if you would have said you liked
Cut the Crap or maybe even
Give 'Em Enough Rope.
I would LOVE to see someone really go to bat for Cut the Crap

Give 'Em Enough Rope is a great record, but Cut The Crap fuckin' sucks. Strummer intended it as a return to a raw punk sound, yet it sounds like A-Ha.

I’m a fan of it too, but I’ve heard more than a few people say that it sucks, particularly compared to their debut.

Only one of those tiresome, edge-lord contrarians who constantly boasts about hating the Beatles, chocolate and pizza would go to bat for that awful album and I wouldn't even believe them.

The only Metallica album I actively dislike is Death Magnetic. The recycled riffs, the extreme compression, it just all seemed insulting, like they were trying to superficially capture a moment that happened 20 years prior to please a particular sort of fan who isn't going to be pleased with anything they make anyway. I think there were some pretty good songs on Load and Reload. St. Anger could have been fine if they used snare wires and released it as a hardcore album under a different name, like The Jimmy Hetfield Experience.

"Hated" may be too strong, but even Big Dipper fans seem to dislike this one, and I never could quite understand why.
Slam had some pretty great tracks: "Bony Knees of Nothing", "Impossible Things", "Picnic".

It's hard to find a SONG on that record that doesn't suck, much less the whole of it's parts. I shamefully am ok with 3-Card trick, it's sort of charming Synth-Oi-Ska mess, I think you could hide on a mix tape next to some kind of other white boy reggae from Ze Records.
Conversely, Sandanista is the missus and my favorite Clash....so maybe it's getting it's due.

FINALLY starting to hear more of that. Sandinista is just one of those ideal kitchen sink albums, for me, a bit of everything. Maybe as more people catch on it'll finally get the DELUXE reissue treatment.
