Lou Reed/Metallica "Lulu" just awful


Just checked out Lou Reed's latest album Lulu. He is backed by Metallica. Lulu may be one of the worst albums of all time.As a long time Reed fan I am willing to give him a certain amount of artistic license. However, this offering is simply unlistenable.

At least he tries and does new things. The Raven CD comes to mind.

So many musicians recycle the same stuff over and over again. How interesting is that.

MMM was in fact put out to satisfy contractual obligations. He owed two LPs so he put out a double LP of feedback loops with artsy liner notes. Each side was one second above the bare minimum required for an album per his contract.

I laugh when I see that RCA released a 24 karat CD remaster of it. Barnum was right.
