Metallica always finds a way to lower the bar, didn't think they had it in them.

The riffing wasn't all that bad, but Lou's voice has definitely seen better days.  If all the songs have that spoken-word quality to them, it's a definite miss.  I would have to have been blown away to buy it anyway, but my constant Metallica interest still wants to hear another song or two.

I think St Anger is an abomination, too; and this collaboration seems to be worse or the same league.

As a Metallica fan, I'm taking this as proof positive that the band still haven't regained the good taste or sound judgement they lost after their first few albums.

As a Lou Reed fan, I despair that Lou is rehashing Berlin, only without the trashy depressive glam veneer that made that album awesome. Then again, Lou's been hasn't written a decent song himself for a long time and is more or less out of ideas by now.

Can't say I'm 100% surprised that it sounds this bad. The more Lou and Metallica went on and on in interviews about how it was great stuff and they had a blast making it and they're really proud of it and the collaboration totally paid off, the more it sounded to me like the album stank, they knew it stank, but they're desperately hyping it in the hope that people would buy the thing before realising how much it stank.

Some of the chill stuff at the end of the album I think is actually pretty good, fitting more naturally with Reed's vocals.  For the most part, the blend of the aggressive, distorted stuff with Lou Reed isn't good, but would probably work in more of a Metallica context.

I think hard rock would be the best fit of the categories available.

I'd personally put it in trad guys, it is metal after all. Trad fits better than anywhere IMO.
