Why do people here always treat Lulu like it’s part of Metallica’s studio album discography, just like Ride the Lightning, Load, Death Magnetic, etc. It’s a Lou Reed album featuring Metallica, and not the other way around.

A review of the entirety of Lulu. So you don't ever listen to it.

Most parts of Lulu were bizarre, some were like meeting an old friend and then they shoot you in the face, and some of it was downright violating. Listening out of boredom was a terrible mistake, but mine to make. I tried to look at this as objectively as possible, as an art piece rather than Metallica. But even then, it's still horrible

  • Brandenburg Gate | 2/10 - Starts with aggressive downright nonsensical acoustic strumming, then Reed starts speaking and you're wondering truly where the fuck you are. A brief silence and then the heaviness comes in, and hearing James scream SMALL TOWN GIRL makes me feel like James is my lost father and I haven't heard his voice since we thought he died in the war, it brings euphoria to hear someone actually sing. The lyrics are kind of hard to decipher, it literally opens with "I would cut my legs and tits off" and references classic horror film actors (Kirk?) but from what I can gather this has something to do with drug abuse. Anyways the track is pretty forgettable besides James screaming SMALL TOWN GIRL
  • The View | 3/10 - This song gives false hope, it starts with a really heavy fucking riff and then Lou starts talking and its like well fuck nevermind that didnt last long. This song is a little more clear, it seems to just be about Satan and lust and desire. This song only gets points for the riff and I AM THE TABLE
  • Pumping Blood | 1/10 - Barely know what the fuck this song is about, the riffs are nonsensical and chaotic. This entire track eventually just turns into screaming and guitars and snare smashing. I assume this is about somebody getting killed? This track has nothing going for it at all. Objectively a poor track.
  • Mistress Dread | 2/10 - Again another nonsensical track of rambling. Lou's speech sounds like they literally took his voice from a completely different song and put it over an instrumental of some sort. Lyrics, again, are fucking weird. This seems to be about some sort of BDSM dominatrix lesbian relationship? The general theme of being used for someone else I guess. I don't really know. Lars thrashes on the drums for 5 straight fucking minutes, which is the only factor that gives this track a point.
  • Iced Honey | 4/10 - Well, this song gets the most props yet. This sounds like it could be a legitimate song. Not a good one, but it has the basic elements of a song and Lou actually sounds like hes somewhat trying to match the melody of the song. The lyrics are pretty hard to get on this one, I

For context I'm a Refuse Driver (Garbage man) & today I was on food waste. After I'd tipped I was checking the wagon for any defects when I spotted a lone pea balanced on the lifts.

I said "hey look, an escaPEA"

No one near me but it didn't half make me laugh for a good hour or so!

These aren't dad jokes...

Dad jokes are supposed to be jokes you can tell a kid and they will understand it and find it funny.

This sub is mostly just NSFW puns now.

If it needs a NSFW tag it's not a dad joke. There should just be a NSFW puns subreddit for that.

Edit* I'm not replying any longer and turning off notifications but to all those that say "no one cares", there sure are a lot of you arguing about it. Maybe I'm wrong but you people don't need to be rude about it. If you really don't care, don't comment.

Lou Reed and Metallica's Lulu: Almost 10 Years Later

Soon this infamous album will be turning 10 on November 1. This album has been regarded as one of the worst albums of the 2010s. To sum it up, the single from this album got people scratching head; "wtf why is James saying he is a table, and why is Lou Reed ranting over an instrumental stock metal song?", Pitchfork gave this album a 1.0 score, and Lou Reed even claimed that he got threatened by Metallica fans due to this collaboration.

It was not a very good shape; and the concept is already weird, a combination of Lou Reed's spoken word (which at the time he was very old) style singing, and Metallica's reputation as the most prominent heavy metal band, both of them doesn't seem fit, but when the product of work published, there are some different views. Metallica fans are obviously displeased even they won't recognize them as one of Metallica's discography. Lou Reed fans; well, he claimed that he already lost his fans since Metal Machine Music.

Despite of negative receptions; I think this album is not just overhated, but overlooked. Personally, I find this album is one of the most important material in rock genre. David Bowie's once said that this album is a masterpiece, and will take some times to be appreciated and understand. As the current time goes, lots of people take this album lightly, simply judging by how repetitive, incongruent lyrics, and the fact that you are being hammered by the obnoxity of the album for one hours and seventeen minutes (with the final track, Junior Dad being 19 minutes long).

Now hear me out, I only heard this album a year ago. As of the current time, I have listened all the Velvet Underground works, several Lou Reed's works, and I never actually listened to any Metallica album before but I know several of their songs. I may not really have a strong sense of criticism, but I can share my own personal experience listening to them. I don't go as far to say this is a masterpiece, but it's something I would call a massive discovery for me.

So the first song I actually first heard from this very album is of course; The View. I wasn't really horrified by the first listen, but ended up getting a spark of curiosity from it. It wasn't the time I actually took the album too seriously yet. However, that year was also the time I was in a process of musical taste shift. Lots of genres I decided to try; mostly experimental. Now I'm a fan of post-rock, and I can quite handle repetition aspect of the music, even though that's t

Day 7 of listening to every Metallica album and ranking every song on it: St. Anger

Feel free to post your ranking in the comments :)

  1. Purify - so this is quite often considered a Metallica’s worst song (not including Lulu) but honestly that opening riff is pretty heavy and works quite well. But after this we are thrown directly into a very weak verse, that fails to live up to the riff’s expectations. The chorus is the most horrible vocal performance of Metallica I have ever heard in my entire life. Honestly that chorus is so fucking horrible, it manages to take one of the best main riffs on the record, and bring it right down to the worst song on the album, and in the band’s whole discography. The bridge riffs are pretty cool too, and it just makes me even sadder that it’s wasted on this fucking song. I so wish I could put this higher, and I really wished that the chorus and weak verses don’t totally overshadow this song in the way that they do, but hey ho, it is what it is ig. Such a waste of potential, this song is such a genuine shame.

  2. Shoot me Again - the riffs are still boring and St. Anger-y in the intro and verses, but I do have to commend them on finally not just using the pentatonic riff constantly. The verses feel weak and the pre-chorus build up doesn’t work for me either (James’ vocals mostly.) The chorus is honestly not that bad, but it’s still not very good either. The bridge riff doesn’t work for me either, still feels pretty weak. I’m not too sure what it is, but this song along with a couple others sound a whole lot like a shittier Limp Bizkit, which is absolutely not a good thing (even tho Break Stuff kicks absolute ass.) This song has almost no redeeming features for me, it just ranges from average to bad throughout.

  3. All Within my Hands - so I do have to say that the acoustic version of this song works a hell of a lot better than the studio version, and I would definitely rank it higher if we used that version, but I have to go off the album sadly. The opening riffs aren’t too bad, but those verse riffs feel so awkwardly played and, along with the drums, they do not fit the melody in the slightest, which is actually quite beautiful. The pre-chorus section also doesn’t feel particularly strong, and the chorus vocals do not work for me at all due to sounding so out of tune. This song is just quite a nice ballad but weirdly changed into a heavy song, and it mostly just feels awkward and rarely works. It had potential, but the band ruined it, at least a bit, by giving it the St. Anger treatment, turning it in
