I probably don't like it as much now because I never had it out my CD player for ages. I don't doubt how influential it is, I prefer the compositions on Ride the Lightning, the raw thrash of Kill 'Em All and the technicality of ...And Justice For All. Actually compared to the Black album, MOP is underrated The Black album was a total snore fest with a few exceptions. If I'm being honest, I used to slag the shit out of Load when I was a spotty teenager with limited music taste. I stuck it on recently and found it to be quite enjoyable
