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.

Marty...your posting must have come in right while I was posting mine...just a coincidence we were both talking MMM. I wasn't ref'g to your post--no disrespect intended.

But now that you brought that up.... I know he's denied that... and probably only he will ever know...but it was monumentally bad. I also read that (this says a lot about us fans too) during that (MMM promotion) time when he got off a plane in Japan, they had MMM blaring through the airport sound system...apparently taking it very seriously.

I would bet a huge amount of money though that it was a purposeful FU rather than "art."

I'm afraid Lou's jumped the shark...and the sad thing is...he's the only one who doesn't know it.

Transformer remains my favorite album of ALL time... period.

I think MMM is pretty brilliant and relaxing. Don't forget that it also had a Blu-ray release in surround.
Bill, there are at least a dozen extraordinary albums in there across several eras of R&R. Unfortunately not much of late.
Don't agree dgarretson.

The guy is a slug.

I have a similiar opinion of David Bowie.

YMMV
