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 ›› |

So all the songs will be composed by Lou Reed? Then why is this a Metallica record?

I doubt this will be thrash at all. They probably won't even be trying to be thrash. Will this album be good? We shall see.

---- The word gen means "illusion" or "apparition." In India, a man who uses conjury is called a genjutsushi ["a master of illusion technique"]. Everything in this world is but a marionette show. Thus we use the word gen.

Velvet underground are a pretty good band and seeing as lou reed wrote all the songs , this is pretty much a metal velvet underground right? Metallica are merely guest musicians

When they announced this I thought that it was a Metallica record with Lou Reed as a backing artist, instead its a Lou Reed record with Metallica as a backing artist

"Lulu" in Egyptian Arabic means a "(Docile) Puppy". And that's how I expect the album.

I'll give Lulu a listen when it comes out. But I'm not expecting anything great on this album...
