Absolutely horrid.

Stink sausage.

I just remembered something: I believe that the first pressing of Metal Machine Music was purposely made with a skip at the end of Side 2 so it wouldn't shut off.
He's a funny guy, all right.

The track on (IIRC) side four was actually cut on the run-off groove, so people with a turntable that didn't have an auto-return tonearm would have infinite-like playback time (which is why there was an infinity loop on the jacket (I think)... I almost forgot, it was also released on 8-track tape. Infinite, indeed.

Well now, wasn't that sumthin'! As Mike Tyson said to Jeffrey Ross during the recent Charlie Sheen Roast: " Listening to you, I wanted to bite my own ears off..."

Ugh, negative review in Tone Magazine describing it as 94 minutes of turgid swill (or something along those lines).
Perhaps the upcoming Rock and Roll Animal/Abba collaboration will fare better.

I'd rather climb a mountain made of broken beer bottles than listen to those Amazon samples again[Metal Machine Music] - and I love weird music. The only albums I've owned that were 'almost' as bad were "The Whitey Album" by Ciccone Youth (Sonic Youth's experimental side-project) and Pat Metheny's "Zero Tolerance for Silence" - both of which can be traced back to Thurston Moore of Sonic Youth - who I greatly admire. Both were tossed in the trash to prevent some unlucky individual from picking them up in a used CD bin thinking they found some kind of long forgotten musical gem. This Metallica/Lou Reed project - I'd rather eat my own stool than listen to this garbage. Just sayin'

I wish I had listened to those samples before buying tickets for Lou, Laurie Anderson and John Zorn at the Montreal Jazz Festival. We walked out after two "songs". Surprisingly a portion of the audience stayed. I guess they had listened to the samples

. It was extremely unpleasant and discordant noise. Lou Reed walked, looked and played like a zombie. We received complimentary tickets for another concert.
