i heard it.
it is what it is.
If you like Lou Reed, and like Metallica, I'm sure it'll seem like a great thing.
On the other hand, if you find Lou Reed talking his way through a mishmash of -i dunno...odd poetry?, loureedy oddness?, hipper than thou-im-the-fucking-soul-of-new...
mixed through a washtub of Metallica to be something best left alone, i'd steer clear of it.lets be honest here.
Metallica had their moments...absolutely....the sheer recklessness and brute strength of their first few albums is legendary.
I think this is a result of a few things.
age. they were young and fearless.
talent. Dave Mustaine wrote a shitload of those early tunes, and it's beyond evident that he knew how to put together some amazing songs.
and finally. Cliff Burton....he added a level of music theory and essentially elevated what the group was doing to a higher level.now?
none of these things are true any longer.
they've run out of songs by mustaine since forever ago...last one i think that was one of his tunes (according to legend) was leper messiah
cliff sadly was sat on by a bus.lou reed?
you can't say he hasn't been influential. i mean...c'mon...sweet jane...jesus christ what a good song.on the other hand. machine metal music.
clearly he fluctuates between genius, and utterly bugfucking insane.- < Well said (except you give too much credit to Mustaine, ...And Justice has some absolute TUNES on it)rosskemp
- AJFA was their peak, especially tracks like Blackened and Harvester. But, I'm still pissed they shat on Jason by essentially mixing out his bass tracks.Continuity

- Jason is getting credit on youtube now tho, everyone missing his backing vocals and commenting all the timerosskemp
