LuLu is a tough listen, one that requires a lot of patience. But if I had the opportunity to work with a legend like Lou Reed, damn straight I would take it, no matter what happens.

“Junior Dad” is an awesome song. Just like St Anger, there are some killer riffs buried in this one too. It’s not a daily listen, but it still has merit.

I AM THE *_T A B L E_* Side note: I cannot listen to this album, but I respect the hell out of Metallica regardless. I don't call it trash just because it's not for me. I didn't really care for Load and Death Magnetic either, but it'd be a cold day in hell before I'd EVER call them bad albums. Because they weren't. They were just different and not everyone is going to like that. People always say Metallica "sold out," but they've been saying that shit since Cliff was still in the band (technically they've been called sellouts since they first signed on a record label). The fact that Metallica has literally ONLY ever done what _they_ wanted to do, is why they have NEVER actually sold out. And for that, I will always respect them.

I remember going through the Lulu reviews on iTunes just after its release. To say they were rough was an understatement. They were brutal, but also funny and creative. And there were sooooo many of them. Apple had to clean the reviews off a couple of times and start again. 😂

How lars's drumming confused everyone.

Sometimes fan boys of a particular band are the worst. Bands and artist make music for themselves first, with the hopes that fans will like it.

Metallica's music has never really been my style, but I respect their drive to constantly be trying something different and not just slipping into attempting to recapture the sound that made them famous, as so many older rock bands do. Never really listened to Lulu, but I love Lou Reed and generally enjoy projects that come from bands working outside their comfort zone, so maybe I'll give it a shot.

Fantastic album! If only more established bands had the guts to go out on a limb like Metallica did with Lou Reed. A different experience with each listen. An album born of free form experimentation.

LuLu is a fantastic album, I didn’t like it at first but after I had a good conversation with a friend I gave it another chance and started to really get into it. Then I did some looking into the source material and that really helped understand the story better. Thanks guys.

I'm a huge Metallica fan and very open minded about music (I really enjoy Load & Reload) but I can't stand Lulu. Still I'm glad that Metallica is willing to experiment as musicians.

RIP Sweet Lou. Berlin is in my top 5 all time.

As a HUGE fan of Lou, and a appreciator of Metallica, I can say that David Bowie is right about “Lulu”. I was confused when it first came out. But in 2019 it hit me like a ton of bricks, it is a masterpiece, and like Lou’s album “Berlin” will likely take decades to garner the respect and admiration it deserves. Props to Metallica for making such stellar art, with their commercial success this undertaking took some big balls!

It's a very interesting album with some super strong tracks in it.

I've listened to Lulu at least a couple of time a year for the past five years, As I get older (62 now) it becomes more relevant!!! Currently listening first time this year and I am impressed by the strength of Lou Reed's singing, possibly his best vocal performance, even the wobbly bits. I read an article about David Bowie who rated Lulu very highly and he said to Laurie Anderson after Lou Reed's death, "Listen, this is Lou’s greatest work. This is his masterpiece. Just wait, it will be like Berlin. It will take everyone a while to catch up." It took me a couple of listenings to "catch up" and he's right you know it is a masterpiece and Metallica do a great job.

The only Metallica album missing from my Met collection, I almost forgot al about it. I know many Met fans consider it “ The Thing that Should Not Be.” Now I’ve finally heard something from it , & despite my misgivings on it, I figure it’s an interesting train wreck that completes the overall picture of the Mighty Met & the late Rock poet, Lou Reed. I think it’s a worthy inclusion in my collection.

I think it showed an incredible integrity to make that album. I think I’m gonna revisit that album, or visit it, since I haven’t been super interested in what Metallica has done since Load.

Been listening to Lou since 81 and Metallica since 83, and even for me it has taken time for this album to grow on me. But while it is not unexpected from Lou, I was very happy to see Metallica stretching past their comfort zone. Fans of both groups who complained should be ashamed of themselves. Music is art and art has no boundaries, stop trying to pigeonhole the artists.

I think it's their best album but that's just me. I absolutely love all the crazy sounds and how long it is plus the lyrics are crazy.

Lulu is not a Metallica's official record, like said so many times by so many people, but a collaboration, a musical experiment with Lou Reed. And the sooner the rest of the people realize it, the sooner they'll understand it and why it is as it is. You cannot compare & have the same expectations with Lulu like with Lightning, Justice, Hardwired or any other official album. Lulu is an "off side" project and it has to be treated as such. No "ordinary" songs, just a sonic experiment with a great RnR artist... P.S.: But they are some great riffs inside...

Bowie is right. Going back to this, it's intense, harrowing, and chaotic in the exact way that suits the story that's told on it. Lou's vocals are raw and schizophrenic, and Metallica is backing it with some of the heaviest instrumentals they've ever done. Oh, and "I am the table"? The song "The View"? It's about someone being compelled to kill themselves. James's lines are describing how this voice, or whatever is compelling the central character, embodies everything around them. I am the table = the table they stand on literally, I am the view = the literal view from their apartment, I am the ten stories = where their apartment is. It's actually really intense, dark, and I find it very affecting going back. The whole album is like that. Maybe some stuff doesn't land and comes across as hokey, but idk, I think it's going to age well.

Lulu album shows that Metallica has no limitation in creativity, very open minded. True artist indeed.

Then REALLY called sell out for the load/reload era. Then when death magnetic got released, it was 'Metallica by numbers '. If Metallica, or any band for that matter, just kept releasing their 'best ' album year after year, they'd still get slated!

I’d forgotten all about this one.

Little Lulu is a comic strip created in 1935 by American author Marjorie Henderson Buell. The character, Lulu Moppet, debuted in The Saturday Evening Post on February 23, 1935, in a single panel, appearing as a flower girl at a wedding and mischievously strewing the aisle with banana peels. Wikipedia

The thing is most musicians idolize Lou Reed and Metallica did the right thing collabing with him. It's a bucketlist opportunity.

I am the table

Cover the collaboration between Scott Walker and Sunn 0)))

Anyone who says that ST Anger is Metallica’s worst album has clearly never listened to LuLu.

6:16 Rock Legends never die; they live long enough to watch themselves become abstract bohemian poetry

Lulu was also adopted into an opera by Alban Berg. The album has more to do with that I suspect.

I enjoyed it

Anyone read Chuck Klosterman's review of Lulu?

I think it would work good as an instrumental album.

Reminds of of when Dave Mustaines side project M.D.45 with Lee Ving on vocals ... Megadeth fans hated it so much they rerecorded it with Mustaine on vocals .....

I couldn't do it... But I respect it..

I personally have never heard of Lulu until now.

I still enjoy this album.

This album was my confirmation that every time Metallica announces something experimental spearheaded by Ulrich, I'll just turn away

I'm not the biggest Metallica fan but I love Lou.Still can't figure this one out and I loved Berlin,this isn't it's companion though.

Highly underrated lou reed album. Metallica was the back up band. And the most interesting thing they had done since master of puppets.

It’s essentially not really remembered or counted as a Metallica album. And that’s a good thing

Did I suggest this?

I'm one of a very small minority. I really enjoyed LuLu. I think of it as being a Lou Reed Album. It took what he does and gave a little more punch.

It was a record that wanted to be a mainstream avant-garde album, but the essential issue with that is its an oxymoron. It cancels itself out. It's too weird for mainstream audiences (casual and die-hard fans alike), and not weird enough for the outsider audiences. Metallica and Lou Reed made the choices to pigeonhole themselves into pop music territory throughout their careers, and both have had varied degrees of success or turmoil by giving their primary fanbase something outside of the confines of familiarity. Lou Reed did it with "Metal Machine Music"; Metallica did it with "The Black Album", most notably (but you can really list off anything post 1988 for them as an example). You give people music that's more "linear" for the better part of your existence, they're gonna have trouble digesting whatever you give them that isn't. That should come as a surprise to no one. Now having said that, the album itself sounded like a rectum.

The problem with Lulu is it's purpose and intentions do not line up with Reed's or Metallica's fan bases whatsoever. Reed's awkward vocals appeal to so very few fans, I admit I'm not a fan of Reed's either; mix that one of the most popular rock bands ever to put a spotlight on this arty jam album and you got a catastrophe. I'm a non-discriminate fan and pretty open and I find a lot of the music a fun experience to listen to. Hearing Metallica in a different manner, just loosely jamming was fun. In particular, Junior Dad was quite excellent, which I've always felt was leftover ideas from the discarded early St. Anger sessions (the Presidio album); some were said to be influenced by Sigur Ros and that's clear in the song. I also am in the minority with this opinion, honestly, St Anger is my favorite Metallica album. It's so raw and emotional, the production is unbelievably heavy, the bass is more prevalent than any of their other albums, not a bad song on it. That's not a hot take, I've loved since it was released and wished others would appreciate it the way I do.

The writing was on the wall with the latter half of the Black album.

“You think I’m a book, or a TABLE, you can prop your fuckin’ feet on when you’re able.” You gotta listen to the whole album.

Im gonna give Bowie the benefit of the doubt, Im gonna listen to Lulu till 2030 to see if it is actually good

I love Metallica...I love Lou! But, the only way I ever found the album tolerable, was that German tv performance they did together. The audience loved the shit outta it! Hearing it in an accepting atmosphere helped me “get it”, heh!

One of best album

"...to confuse EVERY-ONE "

it's never gonna be a good album, but it does have good moments, and it's interesting to wonder how much potential it had if only Lou's vocals were mixed smoother, and his delivery tighter to the beat. Worth a listen every now and then, it's at least a worthwhile curiosity. Tons more valid than Metal Machine Music which is really a waste of time.

It was worth it for The Table memes

Just given this album a listen for the first time and to be honest, it is brilliant. I can understand why the die hard fans may not like it though. I went to a preview for the Black album and was disappointed that it didn't sound like And Justice or Master Of Puppets. I haven't bought any Metallica since then. But this really isn't a Metallica album, it is Lou Reed and you can hear in the music that it is influenced by him. In some ways, I think it is a shame that it is Metallica all the way through. It would have been more interesting with other artists included.

I want to be able to listen to the entire record, I really do. But 20 minutes is about the longest I can take before I need to turn it off...
