Even Metallica's number one fan hates this, it is official I am on the few peps on this board who actually likes the song.

Stay strong, Manny. Don't let the b*stards grind you down. Defend this abortion collaboration until the very end.

Years from now, when Lars is doing a book tour for his memoir "Sisterhood of the Traveling Thrash: My Life in Metallica," Manny will go to meet him and tell him "By the way, I really loved your Lou Reed collaboration," and Lars will say "So YOU'RE the guy? We thought you were just a legend!"

I think I am the only one, even diehard Lou Reed fans think this album is a stinker, with exception of me and some eggheaded critic for Rolling Stone magazine who claims this is the best album Metallica has made since 'Master of Puppets' and Lou Reed has made since 'Berlin', while I might like what I have heard so far, it is nowhere near the level of those albums. I guess the boys in Rolling Stone mag still are sniffing nose candy, which is like, so 1985.

I believe that was the pretentious David Fricke. Didn't he say it was something like "'Master of Puppets' meets 'Berlin'"? Sounds like something a PR department thought of and I instantly rolled my eyes when reading that.

Rolling Stone lost what little credibility they had with me when they give 5 stars to Yoko Ono albums. The only time she should be allowed near a recording studio is if she is delivering the spicy Kung Pao chicken.

It's Metallica + Lou Reed...so of course the go-to references will be "MOP meets Berlin"...please...so stupid.

Well IMO that is lazy journalism, the only Lou Reed album this would compare to would be ' Street Hassele'which was this minimalistic arty, album which featured Reed's spoken word type of performance, which is a good but not great Lou Reed album IMO.

Oh brother....Lou Reed sucks..........

The parts without Reed isn't bad at all but......man did Metallica take a massive step backwards.

Love ya brutha but I 100% disagree with your statement regarding Lou Reed

Well...I was referring to this song. But you really think he sounds good there?

Rex wrote:

I think Lou Reed sounds ok, he is kind of like Bob Dylan, its more about the lyrics then the sound of his voice, he is not exactly a great vocalist but his voice works for his music.

I like the song, but I have to agree with Eyesore, the problem is more with Metallica, and I guess Lou Reed so he wrote the songs. Trying to turn Metallica into the 21st century version of the Velvet Underground is a major misstep, and to my ears it just seems like music remains unfinished, if that makes sense.


BTW Rex, alot of die hard Lou Reed fans agree with most of you folks on this song, they think its worst thing he has ever done and feel it is an musical experiment that should have remained hidden in the studio vaults.

is Rolling Stone still around??

Its growing on me I think. I thought it was the worst thing I ever heard when it put it on, but the more I listen to it, the more I'm liking it.

Me too - I listened to it a couple more times and it grows on you, especially once you get Lou's beat poetry

Exactly. I listened to it a couple times over, and am actually liking it.

Maybe these two bands are fans of each other, or maybe it was way over-hyped, but this just seems a bit bland to me. It just doesn't do anything for me at all. Sorry guys. I can't say it's grown on me it's not unbearable, but of course I'm more excited about Metallica writing a new album that is their own.

I aways thought Bob Dylan sounded TERRIBLE
