Encyclopedia Metallica

I disappear
The second part of Load. These songs were written at the same time as the load tracks, but Metallica didn't finish them until Re-load was recorded.

If you were lucky you got a special Load/Re-load slipcase when you bought the CD in USA. This slipcase has the Load design on one side and the Re-load image on the other. You could then put both CDs in the box.

The lyrics are only printed in the Japanese release
