Some people righteously claim that this is not a real Metallica release and thus it can't be viewed as such. I agree. Metallica decided to co-operate with Lou Reed in his interpretation of Alban Berg's opera based on Frank Wedekind's plays "Erdgeist" and "Die Büchse der Pandora". The history behind that opera is as complicated and dramatic as one can imagine, assuming what a dark story it tells. Read more ›› |

Lulu brings back Metallica in a collaboration album with Lou Reed. A German visionary named Frank Wedekind wrote a collection of plays about a woman called Lulu who was both a muse and a mystery, the first form of woman. Most of the songs have death, sexuality, love and spite themes. Although it's not a Metallica album, the expectation was off the charts but the result is terrible. Read more ›› |

The worst thing you can possibly do is treat this like a Metallica album. It is not. Lulu is a Lou Reed album that just so happens to feature the guys from Metallica as his backing band. Of course, Metallica still had to go and put their name on it, which recklessly raised people's expectations, and the heavy criticism weighed at this album is largely true no matter how you spin it. Nonetheless, while this was a disappointment, it is not totally devoid of merit, and more of an interesting experiment than a Son-of-St. Anger-sized failure. Read more ›› |

Lol - I wasnt expecting a metallica album, What I was expecting was something interesting, something with depth: god I was wrong: this really is rubbish isnt it? I mean, just because it has long songs and isn't commercial doesnt mean it has depth or is meaningful: its just overly ponderous and sludgily repetitive :

Well not even moments really, just the song Mistress Dread which becomes unbearable after 3 minutes. Everything else is tolerable at worst and decent at best. Of course I suck at rating anything with a number, so it's subject to change at any second...

Written by JCJen7 on 03.11.2011 at 01:52 This guy always makes me laugh. I don't think I can find two of his reviews which I don't consider total bull. BTW, at the moment, someone scored this album with a 10, and there are a couple of 9's too. Maybe these guys see something the rest of us don't?

There must be an achievement badge or something in Metalstorm for the ones who survive this album.
