I just gouged out my eardrums with a screwdriver. I now understand what you mean.

I think I like it!

Oh my god. This is fucking horrible.

I second that. Pretentious shit. Awful..... Exactly what I was afraid of...

Ok, so my eardrums might be a little damaged by this point, but I'm sticking to my guns.....
I like it. Maybe when I hear the whole album I'll wanna slit my wrists..........

I agree. As usual with Lou, the first listen always sounds odd with his singing style, but after another listen or two, it grows on you. I like it too; we'll see what else is to come.

Just found this on Yahoo! News.

With the impending doom of Loutallica and its 19-minute "Junior Dad" lurking in the pre-release shadows,
it's time to list the Ten Worst Heavy Metal Albums of All-Time. (For those blissfully unaware, Loutallica is
the forthcoming Lou Reed/Metallica album that no one is looking forward to.)

Back in the 70's it was fun to take downers and see Black Sabbath (I did so in 1972) but I'm sorry, maybe I am too old now, maybe it will grow on me, maybe- whatever, but to me, this is just about unlistenable... file with "The Raven"... oh, Lou... I hope that you are in tow with Laurie Anderson when she comes here to Providence next month... we need to talk, man...
