It's not like he insults people that likes what he doesn't like. At least I don't remember seeing it. Plus Ronnie Radke is suing him. Seems like Ronnie got a good bit of fans on his side as well as people that hate Fantano

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.
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.
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.

Yep, "Too Extreme!" is amazingly, even worse than everything on "Lulu"... had the whole album been like that, it'd have been worse than "Lulu", but they saved themselves by putting some decent stuff on there as well.
@And yep, I've suspected for a while that Kvltness_94 is a troll, even that username is almost a dead giveaway....
I read an article about this album in the mainstream newspapers today. I've been surprised, considering that it is mainstream press and I thought they would praise the album as Metallica are involved. They gave it 0/5.

But everybody's only looking out for themselves
And you say who can you trust I'll tell you nobody

I really want to listen to this album... cus part of me wants to like it.
But I need someone to listen to it with. I mean, I figure I'll need someone to laugh at it with... or someone to take the gun out of my hand halfway through this mess. I need someone strong-willed, pure of heart, and deaf. I don't think my girlfriend is gonna cut it this time, guys. ;_;

I challenge you to listen on song... Just one song. This album has a magic effect, there is not a single person I know, even the most die hard fanboys of Metallica that actually likes this album... (Well, some people here do, but well.. xD). Even the mainstream press will hate it, I assure you.

I really don't know what some people are still expecting from this "band"...
What a shite album to have under the Metallica brandname... Everything for the money, as always with these guys...
I agree but Manowar is not different.
