Load and Reload were terrible albums. Basically everything after "And Justice for All.." is highly disliked. Like I said, Metallica is more influential than Slayer, but not as influential as other bands.

Possessed, Suffocation, Black sabbath. These three actually made genres, Black Sabbath being the first band to create heavy metal.
