Lou Reed & Metallica - "The View" (via Soundcloud)

Holy shit. This SUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCKS.

What with Metallica having effected a partial return to their thrash roots and Lou Reed being occasionally still interesting, I honestly thought this collaboration had the potential to be worthwhile.  Instead, we get Lou Reed reciting trite nonsense backed by what sounds like a band of middle-schoolers bashing out a single braindead riff for four minutes straight, until Hammett decides to wrap up the proceedings with a wanky, out-of-place solo. This is the sound of five guys getting in a studio and going, "Eh, fuck it. Why bother?"

It's not just bad, it's downright fucking embarassing for everyone involved.

You know, I can understand what they were trying to do, but that's definitely not what came out.  Metallica's been fucking pathetic for the last decade, and now they're sucking other people down with them into their shit vortex.  Ugh.  I feel like I need to bleach my ears now.

This makes me sad.  I had hope for it as well.  Too bad the only part of Lou Reed that rubbed off on Metallica were his dead, heroin-addled brain cells and not his talent.  8(

The Metallica thing sounds as if they're trying (and failing) to be mid-90s Cathedral.

Don't really understand why Hetfield and Ulrich don't respond to Dave Mustaine's offer to do a supergroup album. They've soiled their legacy so frequently at this stage that it wouldn't really matter if it was terrible, it'd sell in huge quantities (and let's face it, that's all they care about), and having failed to make a good thrash album when they tried with Death Magnetic, it might be the only way they'll ever make a good album again.

I finally listened to the new tori album- it's the best one in at least 10 years hands down.

Earlier I was listening to "Wild Man" - I was right in my premonition that Kate's album is, literally, about snow.

Okay now I'm laughing at "The Rapture"...when is MayJay not pissed at somebody?

SO GOOD OMG

[Aaron]

The new Puscifer album was good. Not really amazing, but I haven't ever thought they were... (Good stuff, just not mind blowingly good.)


I've been listening to Doug Stanhope non stop. He is amazing. Funny as hell, and also says some really good stuff. I think I may like him  more then Bill Hicks. (Only cuz Stanhope is still alive, and Hicks is dead... If Hicks was still alive, I'm sure he would still be rocking it. And funny.) I just ordered all his CD's and the newest CD/DVD combo pack thing.


Also been listening to SP lately as well. New album in 10 days!!!!!! So super happy about that! I haven't listened to anything from it. (Well I was gona read an interview with SP and they had background music playing on the site, and while I can't say for sure it was puppy, I can't say it wasn't. So I closed it. Like 2 seconds into the music playing...) EITHER way, can't wait!
