I listened to the entire album over the past couple of days, and to say it's a Lou Reed album is an understatement. I'm a HUGE Metallica fan, but this is absolute garbage. Ridiculously long songs, terrible lyrics, awful "singing" from Reed...the only thing halfway redeeming is the music Metallica plays, and even that isn't good. Just horrible.
I liked the Black Album, loved the Loads, hated St. Anger, loved Death Magnetic...but this is truly some of the worst stuff I've ever heard. I was going to buy the album, but I don't think I will now. In fact, I would rather walk into Future Shop and buy a Justin Bieber CD than this.
