ReLoad, originally released in November 1997, was built from material recorded during the same sessions as Load that did not fit on that album. The bluesy, hard-rock direction of its predecessor carries on, with The Memory Remains — featuring guest vocalist Marianne Faithfull on the refrain — and The Unforgiven II as the best-known tracks, alongside Fuel and the acoustic-opening closer Fixxxer. It was the last studio album with bassist Jason Newsted, and it debuted at number one on the Billboard 200.

This edition is a remastered 2-LP.
